Dangers of Mobile Phones





You Are Sick, Thanks to Your Phone

Researchers in different countries, in different laboratories, are finding disturbing
results that point to far greater health implications than anyone is ready for.
Some illnesses and ailments linked to cell phone radiation include:
• Cancer
• Brain tumors
• Alzheimer’s
• Parkinson’s
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Sleep disruptions
• Altered memory function
• Poor concentration and spatial awareness
• Pacemaker disruptions15
Although cell phone radiation is of low intensity, the oscillatory similarity between this pulsed microwave radiation and certain electrochemical activities within the living human being raises serious concerns, according to the study Physics and biology of mobile telephony,16 published in The Lancet. Your body is essentially a very sensitive electromagnetic instrument, controlled by highly complex and orderly oscillatory electrical processes. Each one of these electro-biological processes vibrate at a specific frequency—some of which happen to be close to those used in modern GSM cell phone technology.
The pulsating, low-intensity microwaves from mobile phones can exert subtle, non-thermal influences on the human biology because microwaves are waves. As such, they have properties other than just intensity (which is the part regulated by safety guidelines).
Therefore, much in the same way as a radio can receive interference; your biological processes can be interfered with by the oscillatory aspect of the incoming radiation.
Highly organized electrical processes at the cellular level are especially vulnerable to interference from cell phone radiation, because their frequency happens to fall within the microwave range.
Many of these biological activities are influenced by your metabolism, meaning the effect of the radiation will be different from one person to another. The effect could also depend on the type of cell phone used, as different cell phones emit radiation at different frequencies.
Ultra-low intensity microwaves can affect processes as fundamental as cell division, and the TDMA frequencies of 8-34 Hz, and the DTX pulse frequency at 2 Hz, correspond to the frequencies of alpha and delta brain waves.
Therefore, it’s quite possible that living organisms have a two-fold sensitivity to cellular phone signals:
1. The microwave radiation itself, plus
2. The lower frequency oscillations of the TDMA and DTX signals.
One good example of how someone may be vulnerable to the non-thermal electromagnetic influence is the ability of a flashing light (at about 15 Hz) to induce seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
It’s not the energy absorption itself that causes the seizure. Rather it’s because the brain recognizes the information being transmitted via the pulsating light, since it’s delivered at a frequency the brain uses.

THE ONLY REASON


The Only Reason For Adult Education

We all either agree or know that  adults are the decision makers in society. And this is the only reason why they should be equipped with education of beneficial knowledge to humanity and the environment as a whole. It is common knowledge that wise decisions promote peace, harmony, coexistence and development.

Unwise Decisions
Loses, pain and hopelessness are the leading consequences of unwise decisions. Take for instance, a cosmopolitan school situation .Two students (not of the same race or culture) disagree and end up fighting. On reaching home, their parents react to the matter based on their racial or cultural differences. This is a very unwise decision that will definitely blow the small student disagreement out of proportion and even degenerate into a larger community problem.
But who is to blame in this case? Is it the students or the parents? We may blame either or both but the buck rests with the adults (parents). They are the ones in the position to guide their children away from racial and cultural misconceptions. These tear down society.

Role of Literacy in Decision Making
It is not obvious that an educated person will make a wise decision. It all depends on the kind of education the individual has acquired. Whether beneficial or harmful. It therefore needs to be emphasized that only acceptably beneficial education should be offered and acquired. A valuably literate adult will always make the right decisions.

Adult Education in Kenya

How does an illiterate adult think? This is a question I have been asking myself since the day I came across a research paper on the adult education status in Kenya.
The research showed that 16 percent of adults in Kenya are illiterate. And that 80 percent of this are women.No reasons were given for this statistics but it is obvious that in a country where getting education depends on whether you have money or not,there are definitely those who will fail to afford it.Kenya is also a country in which girls have been segregated in getting education,though this has greatly changed from the recent past.
Now that this situation is a reality in this country,something must be done because it is a threat to the children of the affected adults.I mean if a person does not know and understand education, it highly unlikely that such a person will strive to ensure that another gets it. This is the bitter reality awaiting children born to the illiterates.
Fortunately, it is very simple to educate an adult.The government only needs to inform the adults and be able to arouse interest in them.There should then be a flexible learning program so that the adults can learn without disrupting their income generating activities.
Private investors can also help in doing this.And this will be the best new year gift to the illiterate adults.http://www.mopcentre.kbo.co.ke

Destructive Arms

    The school herdsman was a man of many episodes.He proved in possession of destructive arms.This man hated order.
    He once disliked the strong door to his room and decided to test the strength of his arms against it.He was right,for the door gave way.The door could never be repaired but only replaceable.His arms however remained unscathed.And he never regreted it.
    He could sometimes want to confirm the toughness of the human skin.His fist always let him up.Never down.Like the day he did it on his in-law claiming that he couldn't bare the sight of his in-law having an affair with another woman.This activity left him wondering why God was so mean with some people's skin thickness.His mere single hit peeled the skin.
    The herdsman could not let any part of his body be unreasonably idle.This time it was his dental formula.The school maize had its good share of it.If the gardener thought he had planted maize for the school,then he was wrong.Very wrong indeed.There was no maize left in three days.An elephant? No.Thives? No.Yes. No.It was the herdsman.
    Who said he cannot do it?The herdsman did it!He could mix the school herd with the others out there in the fields and sell part of the cumulative herd.But he never made one mistake.Selling what belonged to him.
    And that is why I can't explain why he is where he is.

Can't Forget It

My memory is not that reliable but not with miracles.
Back in 2002 while a high school teacher,something too big happened too fast.
I came across a book(encyclopedia).Going through a few of its pages immediatelly aroused some unexplainable inspiration in me.
I felt under oath to tell people something.
I had never come across such information before.
It was simply very valuable for my people.I had to inform them.And I did.
Our currency is a shilling,about 100 of which equal a single dollar at the moment.
Like it or not,it was a mere seven shillings with which I started the project that turned out to be a more than a million shilling project.
It was wonderfully embraced and propagated.
However at some point in its third year, some logistics brought it to a temporary halt.
I wait patiently to relaunch it at an opportune time.
Watch this space.
