Honeybee colony collapse disorder: Alternative causes still being explored Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Also, while it is true mobile phones can disrupt electronic navigation systems, these systems use magnetism to navigate; bees use polarized light. Nailing down the cause A CCD working group was organized recently in hope of finding a solution to the dwindling honeybee population by exploring the potential causes of the honeybee colony collapse epidemic. The group is comprised mainly of university faculty researchers, state regulatory officials, cooperative extension educators and industry representatives.

You might think the effects of mobile phones are limited to just the facial and cranial areas, but that's not always the case. A report submitted to the Economic Union in 2000 249 = > Cellphones Transmit Intense Radiation Fig.XIV: Cellphone radiation after only 15 minutes captured with spectrographic X-Ray. Darker areas represent higher levels of radiation. found that three members of a surveillance unit of the Royal Ulster Constabulary all contracted and died from colon cancer. The members routinely carried radio frequency (RF) transmitters near their lower backs during service.

This Infoceutical also is designed to address the bioenergetic consequences of overexposure to electromagnetic radiation, or e-smog, from both man-made sources such as computers, mobile phones, and radio waves—and natural ones, such as solar radiation. It also has a bioenergetic impact on the nervous system, specifically addressing issues correlated to many of the bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and viral particles—both real and virtual—that may disrupt the nervous system and affect other tissues. Therefore, this Energetic Star has a robust connection to Energetic Terrains.

But people carrying mobile phones are not. Videophones and higher-bandwidth networks will transform activism. So the next time around, we'll see the transmission of dozens, hundreds, thousands of views from marches and protests live over the Web. As easy-to-use, portable cameras become commonplace, we're seeing more examples of sousveillance in action, from student camera-phone recordings of teachers harming classmates to the Video Vote Vigil, an online clearinghouse of recordings of voter obstruction and harassment.

We want to carry mobile phones in our pockets and make coffee at home; yet phones and coffeemakers are thoroughly disposable objects. Expensive to repair and cheap to throw away, their design quickly becomes obsolete, and their materials are rarely considered valuable enough to remanufacture.

Not all design for development incorporates the high technology of mobile phones, computers, or solar panels [see Green Power, p. 172]. In extremely rural areas, high tech may refer to deceptively simple but extremely ingenious designs that don't require specialized materials or equipment to build or repair. For example, the international design and consultancy firm Arup created, for a school on the Tibetan plateau, a latrine that uses the simplest of technologies to achieve a clean, low-odor washroom.

The future doesn't think like North Americans do: the future is unfolding in places that have mobile phones but still rely on the arrival of the caravans, that sell computer chips in souks and bazaars, that burn sandalwood incense in five-hundred-year-old temples but broadcast video-game championships on TV. A bright green future will smell of curry and plantains, soy sauce and chipotle, and will sound more like Moroccan rap and twangy Mongol pop than Mariah Carey.

The growth of cellular-phone use in Kenya is startling; out of Kenya's population of 32 million people, nearly 6 million now have mobile phones, up from only 15,000 in 2000. But the story of cellular leapfrogging in Kenya can't be just summed up in numbers. Something new is unfolding there, as more people gain the power to talk to one another and share information.

Camera phones are incredibly popular, outselling both other types of mobile phones and other types of digital cameras, according to statistics on WirelessMoment.com. But imagine making a phone that's dedicated to this purpose —an "Earth Phone." Besides the camera, it would have small, cheap environmental sensor attachments. Such add-ons for phones aren't out there yet, but students and engineers around the world have attached atmospheric sensors to bicycles, handheld computers, and cheap robots. They've even stuck sensors on the backs of pigeons to measure smog-forming pollution.

Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda Jacky Law See book keywords and concepts

There are concerns about pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, genetically-modified food, mobile phones, microwaves, amalgam fillings, falling sperm counts, mad cows, MMR - even milk. Farmed salmon is a Trojan Horse for carcinogens. Obesity and diabetes are on the march. There is a mass of documentation on all this. So what is the European Commission's big idea? 'Let's clamp down on vitamins and minerals.' It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it Sue Palmer See book keywords and concepts

A Belgian researcher found the sleep of young teenagers was disturbed by incoming text messages on their mobile phones, and also that they slept at a different level because they were constantly aware of the phone, waiting for communications. His conclusion that this leads to a different - presumably shallower - level of sleep is very worrying, as it's during deep slow-wave sleep that academic learning is transferred to long-term memory.

Since a 2005 British survey showed that more than half of pre-teenaged children now have mobile phones (including a quarter of children under eight), it's fair to assume that it's not just adolescents who are having their sleeping patterns disturbed in this way. There's also suspicion among researchers as far apart as Australia and Switzerland that mobile phone use may suppress the body's production of the sleep hormone melatonin, thus interfering with sleep in another way - a further reason to keep them out of children's bedrooms.

And as well as the adverts around the edges of TV programmes, marketeers increasingly reach out to children via the Internet, console games, mobile phones and - through sponsorship and product placement - many other aspects of their daily life. Children today are growing up in what US psychiatrist Susan Linn calls 'a marketing maelstrom'. The average child in the US, UK and Australia sees between 20,000 and 40,000 TV commercials a year.

PCs, the Internet, the web and mobile phones mean the electronic village is around us 24/7, whether we like it or not. There doesn't seem to be an 'off switch' any more, just a welter of remote controls. On the whole, most adults seem happy enough in the electronic village - we may have to run twice as fast to stay in the same place, but it's an infinitely more interesting, comfortable and entertaining place than the world our parents and grandparents inhabited. Perhaps McLuhan's dream is coming true?

Make sure your child knows never to open a suspicious email, click a suspicious hyperlink, respond to unexpected messages on mobile phones or fill in any forms on the Internet without checking with you. (Give dire warnings about viruses that knock out the system, how you could be spammed to death, etc.) Similarly, children should not give out their real addresses or phone numbers to anyone they meet in the electronic village. Ensure your children know that if they encounter anything in the electronic village that makes them feel uncomfortable, embarrassed or worried, they should let you know.

Join the call for registration of ownership of mobile phones, as is already the case in France. If owners have to provide proof of age and identity, phones can be traced back to them so that it's easier to keep track of the images and information circulated. • Suggest to elected representatives that specialists in child development should have greater influence in decisions on film, video and computer-game certification; and that controls on the sale or rental of adult-rated materials to children should be tightened up.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

So if we're going to go through the trouble of banning mobile phones in automobiles out of concern for driver safety, I think we should go all the way and just ban drivers with low cognitive function and slow reaction time. Why isn't reaction time one of the tests when you go get your license renewed? When someone sees a red light, shouldn't they be required to respond in one second or less?

A study showed that mobile phones emanate radio waves that definitely damage the cells in the body, as well as DNA. Most shocking was the fact that the damage extended to the next generation of cells as well. The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association hired a man to head up a $28 million research program looking into the possible health effects from cellular phone use.
