A tempered call for healthy phones

Article Abstract:

Mobile telephones may pose a health hazard not recognized in the standards that now govern their design and operation. A growing body of scientific evidence shows the frequencies and power levels associated with cellular phones can influence cell shape, structure, and growth, as well as protein localization and possibly even DNA structure. Considerably more research is still needed, but phone users should exercise caution.

Pay-as-you-go mobile phones

Article Abstract:

Call of the urchin

Article Abstract:

Sea Urchins are surprisingly popular in Japan. Sea urchin exporters in Maine, US, charge around 220 American dollars per kilogram for uni, the male and female reproductive organs. Urchins are more expensive around a national holiday. High quality stock is harder to find since urchins became very popular in the early 1990s.
