Male
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example ...

Johan Berisha
Johan Berisha (born 6 September 1979 in Yugoslavia) is a retired Swiss footballer of Albanian descent. Football career Berisha stands at 6"2 and he uses this height to his advantage when challenging defenders in aerial battles and his strength means that he can hold the ball up to bring teammates into play, making him very useful when employed by his team as target man. However, ball control and accurate passing also means that he can also be useful in a slightly deeper attacking midfield role, where he is able to get possession of the ball more often and create chances for his teammates. A relatively poor-scoring record is compensated for his contribution to the team in other areas, most notably the number of assists that he provides. Berisha has previously played for Neuchâtel Xamax, FC Thun, BSC Young Boys and FC Aarau in the Swiss Super League The Swiss Super League (known as the Credit Suisse Super League for sponsorship reasons) is a Swiss professional league in ...
