Cell phones: dangerous or not? by Barbora Misakova
Since I lost my beloved Motorola, I am not interested in mobile phones as much as I used to be. I told myself, it was very stupid from me to invest so much money into a piece of metal and plastic that was after all so easily stolen! From that time I am using very small and cheap cell phone which is always forgotten at different place without realizing it. And to be honest, this is for the first time I actually don’t care where my cell phone is! And it is also for the first time in my mobile-history, that I am not taking it everywhere I go. As it seems, it is better than good. There are many warnings against carrying cellular and smart phones in a closely sewn pocket. ! Most of the safety manuals of the cell phones tell users to always keep the active device one full inch away from their body. Skeptics of the safety of cellular phones have these warnings even stressed. According to them, the ubiquitous devices may be exposing people to far more radiation than regulators measure. More the distance of cellular phone is reduced; sharper is the radio-frequency energy of it. “The exposure is definitely related to distance.” says Rober Cleveland Jr., a former FCC official. Are you asking if you should be worried about putting your phone in your pocket? The answer depends largely on how much faith you put in the current state of scientific research about radio-frequency energy.

Miracle or mistake in Bordeax hospital? by Zivka Deleva
Miracles happen everyday and everywhere, we only have to recognize them. A miracle happened these days in a Bordeaux hospital, when a cancer diagnosed patient Lydia Paillard, clinically dead, woke up! Doctors couldn't believe their eyes. Her sons before that didn't want to turn off her life-support system. Before she passed away, as the private hospital Nord Polyclinic officials said to the media, before doctors even tried to treat her with chemotherapy. When a doctor wanted to put the 60 years old lady on a ventilator, it was already too late. But, thanks to the sons' doggedness, the patient was transferred to the university hospital in Bordeaux and another scan showed tha! t their mother is not that, actually that, the brain is not dead. And now, if the lady wasn't removed from one of the hospitals, today she would have already be history to the world, but fortunately, she now is with her children and can talk and laugh... From the hospital, Yves Noel, the head of the clinic, said "that the doctor who resuscitated her had committed a communication error not a medical one as 'he saved her life.'" "It's a sort of miracle. It's unheard of. One of the doctors who examined the patient has 25 years experience in casualty and identified all the signs of clinical death. Both doctors (who examined her) conferred with their colleagues" - said Noel. I can only imagine how did the sons feel when they found out that their mother's live was in their hands. After 14 hours of coma, when the patient woke up, she said to one of her sons: "Ah, I feel so good, I had a wonderful sleep." Only if she would know through what kind of hell her sons have gone w! hile "she was having amazing time". OK, this time the patient! was luc ky, but what about if some other lady's sons weren't so persuading and just let go the life support system. What then? And now, all that the management of the "guilty" hospital is offering to the lady Paillard's family is a discussion about the so called "communication problem". But, off course, the family has decided legally to "discuss" with hospital's officials.

I remember one food experiment I have done as a teenager. During Christmas I took one cookie, made of solid white cream and put it into the fire. I didn't even know why I got the idea, but the result amazed me. The cookie started to burn and created green flames and unbearable smoke. I kept watching, but the green fire didn't stop – on the contrary, the cookie was burning for another 20 minutes and the structure of it remained the same. It didn't break or turned to dust – it remained as it was – it just turned black. That moment I became to think about the nutrition and ingredients I was eating in my daily food. If one small cookie wasn't able to burn, wha! t kind of chemicals it could deliver to my body? We know that we are living in era when half of the population suffers from cancer, alergy and overweight. And it's also caused by the quality of food. There is no one in this world who can prove that the food we are eating has the same quality as it had 20 years ago. If you don't grow it by yourself or don't buy it from local farmer, you will never be sure about it. Our supermarkets are overloaded with cheap and chemical food, full of conservants that protect the food from decomposition. My stomach suffers „heartattack“ everytime I walk around a shop and see colorful mineral water in the shop window. And I suffer heartattack the second time when I see the same bottles of colorful water three months later. And there is no difference, except of the proof of how conservants did the „good job“. Don't live in illusion and don't die in it! The food is loaded with supportive substances to gain „long! evity“ and fresh appearance even after weeks or months. ! Recentl y I found an interesting experiment with Happy Meal from McDonald's. A photographer Sally Davies decided to take a picture of this meal for six months. The results amazed me again – there was no differernce – chips and hamburger with the slice of meat did look the same, except of it was bit smaller. The photographer said its consistence was like a stone. You better check out the pictures by yourselves, there is no appropriate comment. Except of me laughing hysterically when my working colleagues will go for a lunch, chasing the last hint of civilisation – searching for McDonalds!

Hungary has a reason to call it the worst disaster in the history, Hungary has a reason to set the national sorrow day. Four villages were flooded with toxic mud of aluminium residuals, at least four people died, three were missing and more than 120 have been seriously injured – the liquid that flew out of a broken dam contained lye and rust. While rust causes no direct harm on skin contact, lye can be mortal. If swallowed it destroys the inner stomach and gastro mucous, penetrating it and leading into serious damages, often death. Still it is not very clear, how could a dam of organized ore broke down and how were the safety measures and plans when they projected su! ch object. Reservoir more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) long and 500 yards (450 meters) wide stopped leaking on Wednesday and so far a tripple-tiered wall was built around its damaged area. But the war over landscape, ground, villages, crops and people has started. Emergency troops poured 1,000 tons of plaster in order to neutralize the liquid. The major threat has increased – what if the liquid enters the Danube. This rivers flows through several countries, offers not only ship transport, but affect hydro, geology, soil regimes and thousands of thousands kilometers of ecosystems. The liquid had extremely alkaline value around 13, totally devastating to the human skin that has value around 5.5. Hungarian officials and policy has begun criminal investigation, since it's still not known how could the dam been broken and the hints point to the lack of safety measures and lax of emergency.

Notebook heat causing skin problems by Milota Sidorova
In every lap top manual there is a small passage about security. Actually, it is a piece of good advice, but since manuals are not very popular readings, notes are obviously misunderstood. One of these notes is to always place your notebook on solid surfaces that can reduce heating. But since notebooks are so easy to move and place and their shape is literally asking to be placed on laps. Although it is a certain damage for the hard disk and more often the notebook has been moved and placed somewhere, the shortest it will work properly, people seem to not to care about it. What seems to be interesting, perhaps bit funny is that damages are not significant only on hardware,! but also on users. Just recently doctors have developed a term for „toasted skin syndrome“ and it is nothing less than the skin damage caused by persistent heat. Although notebook can't burn the skin into the point of emergency, it can cause real troubles in long term. American doctors got a case of 12-year-old boy who spent few hours playing on his laptop for several months. The long term heat caused structural changes on his skin. The temperature in the machine can reach over 50 degrees. The worst case is when the person place the notebook directly on naked skin. The syndrome has appeared among people who were exposed to the long term heating object, for example people working in factories, bakers, glass bowers or people working with central heating. So far there has been about ten cases put into scientific journals, but inofficial statistics are reaching higher numbers. So the next time you're about to work with the notebook, think about your skin... ! related story (sgx18326): http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_med_laptop_toasted_skin;_ylt=A...
