When a cellphone is placed next to the head, an area close to the phone is excited, although this then settles down after around an hour of rest from cellphone usage. The researchers suggest further research to find out the implications of this excitement effect. Fifteen male volunteers attended two experimental sessions, one week apart, in a cross-over, double-blind paradigm.In one session the signal was turned ON (EMF-on, real

The lost generation. I hear this phrase a lot. Are we truly lost, or have others simply given up on us? We have so many opportunities for success in today’s society, yet we do not see them. Why is this so? Many people blame music. Others blame television. Still, others blame the schools or family. Everyone seems to want to blame someone else. What about ourselves?
