Cell phones and radiation: 10 best and 10 worst

-

How much radiation does your cell phone emit?

This question is always in my mind when I buy a new phone. That's the reason why I use hands-free devices when I talk to someone.

It's easy to find out the answer to that question thanks to the Environmental Working Group's new online guide to cell phone emissions. They ranked over 1,000 different cell phones according to radiation levels. So, here is the list:

10 best phones (lowest radiation)

  1. Samsung Impression (SGH-a877)
  2. Motorola RAZR V8
  3. Samsung SGH-t229
  4. Samsung Rugby (SGH-a837)
  5. Samsung Propel Pro (SGH-i627)
  6. Samsung Gravity (SGH-t459)
  7. T-Mobile Sidekick
  8. LG Xenon (GR500)
  9. Motorola Karma QA1
  10. Sanyo Katana II

10 worst phones (highest radiation)

  1. Motorola MOTO VU204
  2. T-Mobile myTouch 3G
  3. Kyocera Jax S1300
  4. Blackberry Curve 8330
  5. Motorola W385
  6. T-Mobile Shadow
  7. Motorola C290
  8. Motorola i335
  9. Motorola MOTO VE240
  10. Blackberry Bold 9000
If you find your phone in the second list (highest radiation phones) you should really change it.

Here are some tips adapted from EWG's guide to reducing cell phone radiation exposure:

  • Use speakerphone or a headset if your conversation last longer. It's not sure if it's safer to go with a wired or wireless headset, but headsets emit less radiation than cell phones, that's for sure.

  • If you can, text messages instead of talking. Phones use less power and therefore emit less radiation to send text than voice. It also keeps radiation away from your head, and that's a good thing.

  • If you have a poor signal try not to use the phone too much. In fact, try not to use it at all. Your device will emit more radiation to get the signal to the tower when there are fewer signal bars on your phone.

Mathematics model anticipates obscure biologic Mechanism Of Regulation

A squad of Researchers, conducted by a biomedical technologist have established that possible patterns produced from information received by desoxyribonucleic acid microarrays, could be expended to correctly anticipate antecedently unidentified cellular mechanisms. This gets biologists a footstep nearer to one day equaling able to empathize and command the inside works of the cell as promptly as NASA masterminds secret plan the flights of space vehicle nowadays. "Thanks to the Human Genome Project, biology and medicine today may be at a point similar to where physics was after the advent of the telescope," averred Orly Alter, adjunct professor of biomedical applied science In a 2004 report issued in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in coaction with Gene H. Golub of Stanford University, Alter applied numerical formulas inspired by those used in quantum mechanism to anticipate a antecedently unidentified mechanism of ordinance that correlates the commen

Horrors of Anorexia

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating. Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls. People with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even after they become extremely thin, are very ill or near death. Often they will develop strange eating habits such as refusing to eat in front of other people. Sometimes the individuals will prepare big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it. But anorexia can be cured

The Brown Recluse Spider is also called violin spider and after watching the following pictures I really understand I should avoid it. These spiders are around 6-20 mm but it may grow larger. You will find violin spiders in abandoned or disorderly shelters.  These picture were posted on Reddit by a user, saying that his friend was bitten by the Recluse Spider.  Apparently, the Recluse Spider bite looked just like an infection.
