See article keywords and concepts |  I both own and rip that content, so I can watch the movies I own on other electronic devices. That way I can buy movies like "Oceans Eleven," which I think is a great film, and I can watch "Oceans Eleven" on my home DVD player or take it with me on a PSP or an iRiver, PMP, or other portable media device. If I ever sell that movie on DVD, I will delete those files. That's the honest way to handle it as a consumer. I'm supporting the movie studios by buying the DVDs, but I'm also allowing myself to be able to watch that DVD on a number of different devices that I own. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These heavy metals and chemicals have been integral to the circuitry, solder, and casing of thousands of small and large electronic devices. The EU's directive governing the toxics in electronics carried a bureaucratic title with an awkward acronym: the Removal of Hazardous Substances directive, or RoHS. But that bland acronym was striking fear in the hearts of U.S. engineers and executives. The RoHS directive became law after hundreds of studies suggested the ingredients could have potent carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting effects. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We use cheat sheets and mnemonics, PDAs and other electronic devices to help hold memories and information that our minds can't cling to.
Some people are unaffected on the surface by these molecular changes. Everyone has a "sharp as a tack" relative who seems inoculated against the ravages of aging. Others struggle daily to remember where they put the house keys or parked the car. No single mechanism adequately explains why some brains age differently than others. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The combined effect of using various electronic devices can seriously damage the ultra-sensitive colon. Keep in mind the typical guideline for safe exposure is between 0.5 and 2 milligauss of radiation; but many household devices emit EMF's in excess of this safety guideline. The greater the field generated, the higher the risk to your health.
Even some non-electronic items can increase the effects of radiation absorbed from another source. Wire-support undergarments, for instance, can behave like antennae and direct EMF's straight into breast tissue. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Controlled birth studies have shown that a Caesarean section is performed 3-4 times more frequently if electronic devices were used to monitor the birth rather than a simple stethoscope.
Mothers in the midst of labor often consent to a Caesarean section when they see intensified signals of their baby's heartbeat flashing on the monitor in front of them. It is quite likely that a baby's heart activity produces erratic changes when cold electrodes are attached to its head while it is squeezed through the narrow tube of the mother's womb. |

See book keywords and concepts | | What was perfectly legal in the United States would soon have to be eliminated from electronic devices sold in Europe. All the engineers in that room, like all American high-tech electronics companies, were facing a deadline of July 1, 2006, six months hence.
The high-tech industry is not alone in this quandary. Electronics, automobiles, toys, cosmetics —Europe's new standards are requiring a reassessment of the chemicals inside that make them tick. | | It's fair to say that their fingerprints, or those of their colleagues, are somewhere inside the workings of your computer, your DVD player, your video-game consoles, or any number of dozens of other consumer and medical electronic devices. They are the brains behind many of the crown jewels of American ingenuity and entrepreneurship. | | Eight months after RoHS, the EU's directive banning all hazardous chemicals and minerals in electronic devices, the Chinese equivalent came into force: the "Administration on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" sent a signal that China would no longer allow itself to be the world's dumping ground for hazardous products.9
As a Basel Action Network investigation showed, at least 50 percent of the e-waste that is collected for recycling in the United States is shipped to scrap yeards in developing countries like Taiwan, the Philippines, Nigeria, and China. | | The EU's follow-up effort on e-waste—took on what's actually inside all those electronic devices to begin with. The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, or RoHS, requires that manufacturers remove four toxic metals —lead, cadmium, chromium, and mercury—that have been critical ingredients in hundreds of thousands of products in everything from computers and semiconductors to electric trains and cell phones. It also bans the use of polybromi-nated flame retardants, the same ones proposed for the POPS list by Norway and the European Union. |

See book keywords and concepts |  But now, as technology proliferates and people are using more electronic devices, some researchers suspect EMFs are contributing to a subtle assault on people's immune systems and overall health.
Electromagnetic changes in the environment can adversely affect the energy balance of the human organism and contribute to disease. We are surrounded by stress-producing electromagnetic fields generated by televisions, computers and video terminals, microwave ovens, overhead lights, power lines, electrical wiring, and motors that can generate higher-than-normal magnetic energy. | | Janice also installed a QLink ClearWave device (see Resources) in her office, designed to neutralize random EMFs emitted by electronic devices. The night after she installed the ClearWave device, she began to sleep better. In three months, all her symptoms were gone, including the insomnia and restless sleep. QLink also offers a pendant with a crystal chip that is said to boost the body's bioelectric field and help offset the negative effects of EMFs. It also increases energy, focus, and concentration, and is believed to boost melatonin as well. |

See book keywords and concepts |  He also knew that conventional science discredited the machines, but he had toyed with electronic devices since he was a teenager and enjoyed playing around with them. As much as he respected conventional science, Peter knew that energy (in the nonbiochemical sense) had no place in its theory of how the body worked. For the most part, Western scientists ignore or dismiss acupuncture and TCM, despite the fact that they are the primary medical systems in much of Asia and have a track record of impressive results when administered by well-trained practitioners. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Jahn began creating a host of ingenious random mechanical, optical and electronic devices ?a swinging pendulum; a spouting water fountain; computer screens which switched attractive images at random; a moveable REG which skittled randomly back and forth across a table; and the jewel in the PEAR lab's crown, a random mechanical cascade. At rest it appeared like a giant pinball machine attached to the wall, a 6-by-io-foot framed set of 330 pegs. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Biofeedback
Biofeedback training is a method for learning how to consciously regulate normally unconscious bodily functions (such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure) through the use of simple electronic devices. It's particularly useful for learning to reduce stress, eliminate headaches, reduce muscle spasms, and relieve pain. Biofeedback can intercept a chronic fight-or-flight response and aid in revitalizing adrenal gland function. By teaching patients relaxation techniques, biofeedback helps them reduce or eliminate sleep problems. | | The proliferation of electronic devices in our lives parallels the increase in the incidence of breast cancer over the same years.
Physical and Emotional Stress
Stress can have a detrimental effect on nocturnal melatonin production, often causing insomnia and other sleep-wake rhythm disturbances. For the purposes of this chapter, we'll define stress by the presence of high blood levels of Cortisol, a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, which are located atop the kidneys. | | Electrical power lines, appliances, computers and electronic devices, and commercial airplanes all generate EMFs.
Stress and Psychological Factors
Stress and pent-up emotional issues can wreak havoc on the brain, deregulating brain chemicals and also affecting organs that are instrumental in procuring a good night's rest. Unmanaged daily stress can upset your hormonal balance, deplete nutrient reserves, and create a vicious cycle of less sleep and more stress. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Jahn and Dunne decisively demonstrated that human intention can influence these electronic devices in the specified direction,10 and their results were replicated independently by 68 investigators.11
While PEAR concentrated on the effect of mind on inanimate objects and processes, many other scientists experimented with the effect of intention on living things. A number of diverse researchers demonstrated that human intention can affect an enormous variety of living systems: bacteria, yeast, algae, lice, chicks, mice, gerbils, rats, cats, and dogs. |

CHAPTER SEVEN
Sharing Dreams
Deep in the rainforests of the Amazon, the Achuar and the Huao-rani Indians are assembled for their daily ritual. Every morning, each member of the tribe awakens before dawn, and once gathered together in that twilight hour, as the world explodes into light, they share their dreams. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some may even resort to desperate measures, like offering risky customers the option of having electronic devices attached to automobiles, appliances, and other products that allow them to function only if debt payments are up-to-date.
But with Americans transformed from indulgent squanderers into consumer zombies, those efforts will prove costly and the effects short-lived. One consequence: A nation of malls will witness thousands of retailers shutting their doors—in many cases forever. |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts | | EMFs, a type of low-level radiation generated by computer monitors, televisions, fluorescent lights, electronic devices, and sometimes wiring, are generated when electric currents flow through wire coils, so every time you turn on an electric current, EMFs are produced. Although you can't see, hear, or feel them, they're very real, and they do have impacts on the body. They can pass through almost anything except lead barriers, but their strength does diminish with distance. |

See book keywords and concepts |  What's so wonderful about biomorphic design today is that, while the patterns that inspire it may have originated many millennia ago, they are being applied to electronic devices, textiles, housewares, furnishings, and buildings that ride the cutting edge of high-tech invention. More and more, biomorphism not only expresses beauty in concert with sensible design, but is also a manifestation of the tech nouveau.
Biothing / Genware
Sometimes we don't perceive the mathematical foundation of artistic endeavors: we merely love the intricacy of a pattern or the symmetry of a shape. | | The Internet is also a path to the digital convergence of many kinds of media in a variety of electronic devices. With emerging and new media, far-reaching tools for communication are no longer restricted to media companies who produce content for mass consumption. Internet-based forms of media such as blogs and podcasts possess low barriers to entry, so consumers can be the producers, and any Internet user can publish content and make it accessible to any other Internet user in the world. |

See article keywords and concepts |  But there are individuals who are perfectly capable of talking on the cell phone or operating other non-visual electronic devices while they are driving. For example, I'm recording this article while I'm driving, and I have a perfect driving record.
I think the real test of driver safety should be determined by the reaction time of individuals, not simply noting whether they using a cell phone or other portable electronic device. Some people need to be taken off of the roads just the way they are, even without any distractions, because they have about a two-second reaction time. | | Should we outlaw the use of portable electronic devices by people who are operating automobiles? I would only support that if we also ban drivers with slow reaction times and actually start testing people for reaction times. It's easy to blame the problem on cell phones, but that's sort of like going to Rwanda, finding out that 800,000 people have been slaughtered by machetes, and then blaming the machetes. It's not a machete problem, and it's not a cell phone problem. It's a problem with reaction times of drivers, and in the case of Rwandans, human decency. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Surgery, drugs, electronic devices and new diagnostic tools have stolen the spotlight.
We now have coronary bypass surgery, where a healthy artery is "pasted" over a diseased artery, thereby bypassing the most dangerous plaque on the artery. The ultimate surgery, of course, is the heart transplant, which even utilizes an artificial heart on occasion. |

In support of this idea, smooth muscle relaxing medications are reported to reduce symptoms in men with CBP, NBP, and PD, and to reduce the recurrence rate of CBP. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There are also electronic devices available that can analyze the test strip for you and give you a numerical readout of the glucose level. There are now more than a hundred different home-testing-type instruments available for testing blood glucose levels. Many of these devices are availble free or have large rebates attached if you have a doctor's prescription. You simply prick your finger with the spring-loaded needle, apply a drop of your blood to the test strip, and place it in the machine for analysis. |

See book keywords and concepts |  First of all, the electron can't just drop any number of floors,
* For this they used a lock-in amplifier, one of the cleverest electronic devices ever invented. Its operation is clearly described in the magnificent book The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill (ISBN 0521370957). the drop must equal in energy a vibration of the molecule (remember, flutes not pianos). This is because the molecule can only soak up energy in amounts that match one of its own vibrations. (That energy, by the way, just like the sound of a gong, eventually ends up as heat.* |

See book keywords and concepts | | There are also other electronic devices available, including wrist and finger cuff monitors. Although they are easy to operate, most doctors do not recommend them because they tend to be less accurate and also more sensitive to the effects of temperature and poor blood circulation.
Basic guidelines for what the blood pressure numbers mean, as revised in 2004 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are as follows:
• Normal: Lower than 120 (systolic) over lower than 80 (diastolic)—lower than 120/80.
• Prehypertension: 120-139 (systolic) over 80-89 (diastolic)—120-139/80-89. |
