  1. And on Study Hints Ambient Radio Waves May Affect Plant Growth · · Score: 1

    All cell phones emit some amount of electromagnetic radiation. Given the close proximity of the phone to the head, it is possible for the radiation to cause some sort of harm to the 118 million cell-phone users in the United States. What is being debated in the scientific and political arenas is just how much radiation is considered unsafe, and if there are any potential long-term effects of cell-phone radiation exposure.

    There are two types of electromagnetic radiation:

            Ionizing radiation - This type of radiation contains enough electromagnetic energy to strip atoms and molecules from the tissue and alter chemical reactions in the body. Gamma rays and X-rays are two forms of ionizing radiation. We know they cause damage, which is why we wear a lead vest when X-rays are taken of our bodies.

            Non-ionizing radiation - Non-ionizing radiation is typically safe. It causes some heating effect, but usually not enough to cause any type of long-term damage to tissue. Radio-frequency energy, visible light and microwave radiation are considered non-ionizing.

  13. And on Unique ID In India Causes 'Fear of the Beast' · · Score: 1

    Our 10 million community in India has decided to boycott UID because,

    Economic mobility != Social mobility (http://to./68j)

    There are 17,000 castes aka cults (http://to./4msn) in India.
    And they hate each other whether we acknowledge it or not.
    They're cults because since 1947 only 1% of marriages in India are inter-caste.

    We can lobby members of parliament to carve out out an independent nation for our 10 million community.
    And we will be 75th largest nation by population.

    I'll pay $8.5 million to MPs if they approve a Bill in Parliament to carve out an independent nation from India for our community

    Thanks,
    Mahadiga
