Modi`s development promises hollow; Saurashtra ignored: Sonia Gandhi
Mandvi/Keshod: Accusing Narendra Modi government of discriminating Saurashtra region, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday accused it of making "tall" claims of development in Gujarat and said progress is nowhere to be seen and ruling BJP`s promises are "hollow and false".
Addressing two separate rallies in the state ahead of the first phase of voting in the Assembly Elections on December 13, Sonia charged that "they (Modi and BJP) have no interest in the poor and the common people but are only interested is development of its own and a select few people."
She addressed first rally in a village near Mandvi town of Surat district of South Gujarat and her second rally was in Keshod town of Junagadh district in Saurashtra region.
Sonia rubbed in the regional inequality issue in Gujarat saying, "Why Saurashtra region was being ignored when it came to development".
The issue of discrimination against Saurashtra was earlier also raised by former BJP leader Keshubhai Patel.
"The development which was promised in a big way is nowhere to be seen in this tribal land...Because what they promised were hollow and false," Sonia alleged addressing a huge poll rally at Mandvi.
"This is the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel who used to preach what they practiced. Now, there are people who give big advice but not follow them," she said taking on Modi without naming him.
The Congress chief refrained from directly attacking Modi, who in the run up to the elections had time and again personally targeted her party leaders. However, she raised the issue of performance of Modi government in the last ten years.
"It is unfortunate that despite being in power for the last one decade, this BJP government has failed to bring Narmada water for irrigation to Saurashtra," Gandhi said touching an another important issue of water in this election. Sonia said it is "shameful" that the BJP government is conjuring dreams that 110 dams of the region will be filled by Narmada water.
She was referring to Modi government`s Rs 10,000 crore SAUNI (Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation) scheme.
Raising the issue of farmers' suicide in recent past, she said, "It is painful that farmers had to end lives because of shortage of fertiliser, water and electricity for agriculture".
She alleged BJP has done "maximum injustice" to farmers of this region.
Nearly 4.5 lakh farmers are facing shortage of electricity and nearly 57 areas in the region are in the dark zone but the state government is selling electricity to other states, Sonia said.
She claimed fertiliser given by UPA government is handed over to industrialists as raw material and farmers have to purchase by paying them.
Despite UPA government`s decision to waive farmers` agriculture loan, farmers are in debt because of the state government policy, she alleged.
Raking up the issue of malnutrition, she charged 47 percent children are suffering from malnutrition and ten lakh youths are jobless while government employees are being exploited.
The Congress president said "it is unfortunate that false promises are made for getting mileage in elections".
"UPA government has been allocating 1000s of crores of rupees to various states, including Gujarat, without any bias. But nobody knows how this money is spent (in Gujarat)," she said. "Why is poverty still looming in the tribal population of the state? Why there is no change in the lives, position and financial condition of tribal," Sonia wondered.
There are around 30 tribal dominated constituencies in the eastern parts of the state, which were on the radar of the Congress president, while she pitched hard votes from there.
"There is no water in hilly villages of tribal areas, the BJP had shown you the dream of building 2.25 lakh lakes and dams... Where are they ?? Where is employment for the tribal people," she asked.
The AICC president also said that Congress was responsible for the development of South Gujarat. The roads which you are seeing here are made under the Prime Minister rural road scheme.
Sonia said that Congress stood with the people of Gujarat at the time of drought, earthquake and cyclones.
She alleged because of the policies of BJP government, the hardships of the common man have increased. "If the government attended to your problems, you would not have faced so many problems", she said.
The Congress chief said the UPA government had waived loans to the debt-ridden farmers but their condition in Gujarat has not changed because of the "anti-people" policies pursued by the BJP government.
She also alleged that there are so many unemployed youths, malnourished children because of lack of education and health in the state.
Gesturing towards the large number of women and girls, Sonia alleged "women in the state, who works shoulder to shoulder, are also being torched, exploited and being harassed in Gujarat where situation of law and order is deteriorating."
She emphasised on effecting change in Gujarat and said, "It is necessary to bring revolutionary change in Gujarat politics and only Congress can do that".
She appealed to the people to fight against the state government`s "injustice" to Saurashtra and elect Congress.
Gujarat will vote for the first phase of polls on December 13.

Adam Lambert Explains His and Boyfriend's Arrest in Finland
Adam Lambert got into a fight, sent to jail and learned a lesson. The "American Idol" alum is back tweeting after authorities in Finland arrested him for scuffling with reality star boyfriend Sauli Koskinen outside a Helsinki gay bar on Thursday, December 22 morning.
In less than 160 characters, Lambert explained what happened that night, writing "Jetlag+Vodka=blackout. Us÷blackout=irrational confusion. jail+guilt+press=lesson learned. Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers= laughing bout it. :)" The couple was released from jail on Thursday afternoon after spending several hours there for questioning.
According to the head of the police investigation, the dispute started in one of the backrooms of Don't Tell Mama club. The two men were kicked out of the place but they carried on fighting. Finnish beauty queen Sofia Ruusila, who was the men's company, said she tried to get in between them but she got accidentally hit by Lambert instead.
Koskinen, a local star, has also blogged about the incident, writing in Finnish, "Celebrities are people too and fame is not easy. Love is not always easy either, but it's forever."

Rangers, Flyers Coaches' Differences Apparent In HBO's "24/7"
Published December 22, 2011
HITS & MISSES: ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun writes the "highlight of Episode 2, for me, has to be John Tortorella's frenetic rant after the first period of a loss" to the Blues. Tortorella "gets it on, steam coming out of his ears." LeBrun notes the lowlight "had to be the way the show dealt with Chris Pronger's bombshell news from last Thursday." LeBrun: "The show dropped the ball in my mind. It's understandable that Pronger wasn't available, but what about showing some kind of behind-the-scenes clip where Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette breaks the news to the team after their win over Montreal?" It is "important to note that both teams have the right to keep material out of the show on final edit." So if it is "indeed the Flyers that didn't want that private chat with the team about Pronger to be included, then you can't blame HBO" (ESPN.com, 12/22). YAHOO SPORTS' Greg Wyshynski writes "if anything, Episode 2 suffered by focusing too much off the ice." Wyshynksi: "It's not that the material wasn't compelling; it's just that the most candid and honest material is always going to emerge from the action on the ice and in the locker room -- as the episode's two classic coaching rants about effort and officiating (respectively) prove" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 12/22).

Elbow Fracture Medication
- Author: Daniel K Nishijima, MD, MAS; Chief Editor: Trevor John Mills, MD, MPH more...
Medication Summary
Drugs used to treat fractures are generally NSAIDs, analgesics, and anxiolytics. In addition, administer proper antibiotics and tetanus prophylaxis for open fractures.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs)
Class Summary
These drugs are used commonly for relief of mild to moderately severe pain. Effects of NSAIDs in treatment of pain tend to be patient specific, yet ibuprofen is usually DOC for initial therapy. Other options include flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, and naproxen.
Ibuprofen (Ibuprin, Advil, Motrin)
Usually DOC for treatment of mild to moderately severe pain, if no contraindications. Inhibits inflammatory reactions and pain, probably by decreasing activity of enzyme cyclooxygenase, which inhibits prostaglandin synthesis.
Naproxen (Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn)
Used for relief of mild to moderately severe pain. Inhibits inflammatory reactions and pain by decreasing activity of enzyme cyclooxygenase, which decreases prostaglandin synthesis.
Class Summary
Pain control is essential to quality patient care. It ensures patient comfort, promotes pulmonary toilet, and aids physical therapy regimens. Many analgesics have sedating properties that benefit patients with fractures.
Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen (Vicodin ES)
Drug combination indicated for relief of moderately severe to severe pain.
Oxycodone and acetaminophen (Percocet)
Drug combination indicated for relief of moderately severe to severe pain. DOC for aspirin-hypersensitive patients.
Class Summary
Patients with painful injuries usually experience significant anxiety. Anxiolytics allow a smaller analgesic dose to achieve the same effect.
Lorazepam (Ativan)
Sedative hypnotic in benzodiazepine class that has a short onset of effect and relatively long half-life. By increasing action of GABA, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, may depress all levels of CNS, including limbic and reticular formation.
Excellent for sedating patient for longer than 24-h period.
Monitor patient's BP after administering dose and adjust as necessary.
Class Summary
These agents are given as prophylaxis to patients with open fractures.
Cefazolin (Ancef)
Used along with gentamicin for prophylaxis in patients with open fractures. First-generation semisynthetic cephalosporin that by binding to 1 or more penicillin-binding proteins arrests bacterial cell wall synthesis and inhibits bacterial replication. Poor capacity to cross blood-brain barrier. Primarily active against skin flora, including S aureus. Typically used alone for skin and skin-structure coverage. IV and IM dosing regimens are similar.
Gentamicin (Gentacidin, Garamycin)
Aminoglycoside antibiotic used for gram-negative bacterial coverage. Commonly used in combination with both an agent against gram-positive organisms and one that covers anaerobes.
Dosing regimens are numerous and adjusted based on renal function (CrCl) and changes in volume of distribution. Dose may be given IV/IM.
Class Summary
This agent is used for tetanus immunization. Booster injection in previously immunized individuals is recommended to prevent this potentially lethal syndrome.
Tetanus toxoid adsorbed or fluid
Induces active immunity against tetanus in selected patients. Immunizing DOC for most adults and children >7 y are tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. Necessary to administer booster doses to maintain tetanus immunity throughout life. Pregnant patients should receive only tetanus toxoid, not a diphtheria antigen-containing product.
In children and adults, may administer into deltoid or midlateral thigh muscles. In infants, preferred site of administration is midthigh, lateral.
Class Summary
Patients who may not have been immunized against Clostridium tetani products should receive tetanus immune globulin.
Tetanus immune globulin (TIG)
For passive immunization of any person with a wound that may be contaminated with tetanus spores.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 389 reviews
People at Reception Counter were friendly and very helpful in purchasing tickets for admission to La Sagrada Familia and in giving directions to the nearest Metro.
Great location, friendly and helpful hotel staff. Room itself was a bit tired...a bit frayed at the edges, like some peeling wall paper and remote without cover on battery compartment. Also, doors closing on floor were very noisy!
I was able to do early check in and late check out for a reasonable fee. That was great.
Stopover in Barcelona after a cruise for 2 days stay. The assigned first room in preferred higher floor wasn't prepared at all when walked in at 2 PM. Changed to the only available second assigned room on lower floor but flat sheet showed spotty yellowish stains and lump of linen. Air conditioning didn't work properly regardless of setting warming room instead of cooling it. Fan turned off on it own after couple hours required resetting frequently to turn on the unit again. Staff were nice and friendly. Offer direction to tourist sites and call for taxi if required. Nearby 2 subway stations (5 blocks) made travel around town easy. A market with lots of shops and food stands located on backside of the hotel. Restaurants and bars all around so the only problem is to pick one. Will visit this city again. May be stay on different district on next visit. Barcelona is a charming city that has lots of things to offer. Unlike Venice, Italy where full of tourist traps (another horror story), Barcelona is definitely worth visiting but like many European cities, beware of the "professional" pickpockets. However in my stay, I didn't get to meet any of them.
I had a group of six rooms, all great, nevertheless the ones with street view need soundproof windows

Good 3.8 /5 from 259 reviews
This was a strange property. It is right in the middle of an very uninteresting town. We should have stayed near the ocean. The biggest problem I had was that the pictures they show on there web sits don't really show condition of property. The game room was all dark, and not inviting. Also you have to pay for parking.
Spacious Clean
Stayed here with some friends after a day driving through The Catlins. The hotel was easy to find and is near plenty of food options in town (had a wonderful dinner at Little India just a block away!) We were greeted warmly at reception and they also offered suggestions for dining and a map when we asked for them. There were four of us so we booked an apartment-type room-- two small bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. Room was clean. Beds were not super comfortable and condensation dripped in the window overnight and there was quite a puddle on the windowsill so I wouldn't put anything valuable there! Overall not a bad place, but might be better suited for business travel than vacation. We were not there to visit Invercargill and left the next morning for Queenstown.
room was clean but not very big. ad said flat screen TV but it was an old LCD that we needed serviced right after arrival. service was good and quick. view was of the brick wall out back.
Small rooms and not much in the way of equipment. Fewer tv channels than I get at home, and a message scrolling across Prime telling me to update the channel. Low water pressure in shower. The kitchen had a funny smell. Overall not impressed.

Braemar Shipping Services plc, ("Braemar"), an international provider of shipping, marine and energy services, today issues its interim management statement in relation to the period since the announcement of the interim results on 30 October 2012.
The Shipbroking division continues to face challenging conditions, with excess shipping capacity in most sectors affecting values and rates. An increasing proportion of Braemar's business is now done on the spot market. There were no significant changes in the market conditions in the past three months.
Braemar Technical Services performed in line with management's expectations. It continues to develop its position as a global provider of surveying, adjusting and engineering services to the energy, shipping and insurance sectors. The process of creating a single business unit is well underway.
The Logistics division, Cory Brothers, performed in line with management's expectations. A new multi-year European agency hub contract, announced in the interim results, began in November 2012. The business in Singapore has continued to grow.
Revenue from the Environmental division was boosted by £15m in the first half by the work on the MSC Rena in New Zealand. In the third quarter revenue from the MSC Rena reduced faster than expected, to £3.4m. Braemar's involvement in this project is expected to be completed by the financial year end.

The Untold Story of Champ: A Social History of America's Loch Ness Monsterby Robert E. Bartholomew
View All Available Formats & Editions
"The lake surface was glass. My girlfriend and I were fishing from our anchored rowboat in about fifteen feet of water, facing the New York shore. 'Ron, what's that?' I turned. About thirty feet away I saw three dark humps . . . protruding about two feet above the surface. The humps were perhaps two or three feet apart. They didn't move. We didn't either. We watched in disbelief for about ten seconds. The humps slowly sank into the water. There was no wake, no telltale sign of movement. Unexplained. Eerie. Unsettling." - from the Foreword by Ronald S. Kermani
Scotland may have Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, but we have Champ, the legendary serpent-like monster of Lake Champlain. The first recorded sighting of Champ, in 1609, has been attributed to the lake's namesake, French explorer and cartographer Samuel de Champlain. This is pure myth, but there have been hundreds of sightings since then. Robert E. Bartholomew embarks on his own search, both of the lake firsthand and through period sources and archives-many never before published. Although he finds the trail obscured by sloppy journalism, local leaders motivated by tourism income, and bickering monster hunters, he weighs the evidence to craft a rich, colorful history of Champ. From the nineteenth century, when Champ was a household name, to 1977, when he appeared in Sandra Mansi's controversial photograph, Bartholomew covers it all. Real or imaginary, Champ and his story will fascinate believers and skeptics alike.
Editorial Reviews

"If you've ever wondered whether Lake Champlain's legendary serpent-like monster is fact or fiction, you'll want to read the most recent book from New Zealand-based author Robert E. Bartholomew." UAlbany Magazine
"…Robert Bartholomew takes on the task of reviewing the evidence that proves Champ exists. With a keen skeptical eye, Bartholomew not only reviews, but tells the social history behind these encounters … The book is filled with interesting facts and the pace is intriguing … [it] is wonderfully noted, with creditable sources." Sacramento Book Review
"…The Untold Story of Champ is a thorough, witty account of the sea serpent alleged to live in Lake Champlain." Schenectady Daily Gazette
"Bartholomew pieces together the story of this legend for the first time … with incredibly thorough research and a healthy lack of bias … [He] digs deep and … ends up examining what our belief in lake monsters says about us." Publishers Weekly
"The Untold Story of Champ … explores 400 years of sightings and attempts to do something no book written on the creature has done: provide a history of the iconic 'monster' and examine the role humans have played in perpetuating the myth of 'Champ."' Whitehall Times
"Bartholomew approaches his subject with the skepticism of an investigative reporter. He debunks and exposes hoaxes as much as he chronicles evidence of the elusive serpentine creature described as having a long, humped back and a horse-like head … [a] lively and readable account … Bartholomew goes straight to the heart of the controversy." Albany Times Union
"The Untold Story of Champ is a comprehensive history of a cultural fixture in the northeast. Robert Bartholomew explores the background and development of a media favorite and a scientific controversy. Both believers and skeptics can profit from the solid research and fluid storytelling in The Untold Story of Champ." Stephen R. Whalen, Castleton State College
"I really loved the book, and got some valuable lecture material out of it for my Vermont history course. Just fascinating." Paul Searls, Lyndon State College
"Bartholomew's study provides a meticulously researched overview of the historical context behind popular fascination with the Lake Champlain monster. The book effectively traces the vicissitudes of the creature's fame, rising and falling in accordance with external factors often unrelated to the ongoing string of perennial sightings. Bartholomew makes the subject come alive by carefully documenting the bitter rivalries between competing Champ researchers and by filling in the background stories for numerous Champ witnesses and enthusiasts. He shows that the creature is not simply a media sideshow, but a concept that has touched real people's lives very deeply." Peter J. Dendle, coeditor of The Ashgate Research Companion to Monsters and the Monstrous
"The book provides a thorough exploration of the Champ tales told through the ages. Dr. Bartholomew assiduously weaves his way through the stories, myths, and legends that surround Champ." Mike Winslow, author of Lake Champlain: A Natural History

This book is a great read on stories of champ, as much as the chapters on the feuds and disagreements on others views on champ is as interesting as the "national enquirer" magazine, I think on that stand point its irrelevant to the history on champ ..i dont see a point on how Mr Bartholomew is putting down champ researchers on their findings and beliefs to what this creature is..if you like gossip columns then this is the book for you, I dont like how he is putting down other peoples theories..no one knows what champ is but there is scientific evidence that there is something large that lives in the lake and I dont see why he would go through all the trouble of writing a good size book if hes going to put down others..not very professional in my opinion, seems like he has too much time on his hands.

Kristen Stewart Reveals Why She Doesn't Smile in Paparazzi Photo
Kristen Stewart graces the cover of Elle magazine's September issue. The actress, who gained popularity for portraying Bella Swan in "Twilight" movies, wears a strapless black dress on the front page. She completes her chic looks with shiny chains and giant locks.
In an interview for the spread, Stewart talks about paparazzi photos among other topics, explaining why she always looks gloomy in the shots. "Now I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo - not that I ever would - that's exactly what people would be desecrating me for. They'd be like, 'Now you're going to give it up, now you're a sellout.' Like, okay. What do you want? What would you like?" she shares.
During the chat with the magazine, the 24-year-old star also recalls the moment she realized that she got super popular for the vampire drama role. "The day the movie came out there was a picture of me-in the New York Post, I think. I was sitting on my front porch, smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and dog. And I was like, Oh s**t, well, I have to be aware of that," she says.
The September issue, which is available nationwide on August 19, also features photos of the "Clouds of Sils Maria" star which were taken at Fields Market in West Hills, California. One photo shows her posing next to organic vegetables while another shot taken by photographer Michael Thompson shows her standing with numerous jars of jam and peanut butter as the background.

ROTH Conference attendees will have the opportunity to ride side-by-side with CAF's Sarah Reinertsen, Mike Johnston, Eric McElvenny, Steven Peace and Eduardo Garcia. Eduardo Garcia is an avid outdoorsman and sporting enthusiast who lost his left hand in a traumatic electrocution accident in 2011. Despite his life-altering trauma, he has re-discovered his rhythm and passion for life. He is a true role model of resilience and positivity to anyone that has faced a challenge and overcome it.
"We are inspired and proud to be teaming up with CAF again this year for the 3rd Annual ROTH Ride. Together CAF and ROTH developed a Duane Roth legacy fund to continue to help challenged athletes in the sport of cycling which he loved so much," said Byron Roth, CEO of ROTH. "This is an event that our conference attendees look forward to each year to kick-off our flagship conference. Over half of this year's riders have been on one or both of the previous year's rides."
At last year's ROTH Ride 75 cyclists raised approximately $50,000 in support of CAF's mission to help people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.
Bike Religion's ride leadership and logistical support combined with top-of-the-line bikes provided by Cannondale and Felt will make it a worthwhile experience for first timers and experienced cyclists alike. Additional bike ride sponsors include: Coastal.com, Equisolve, Pulse Beverages, REED's, Skullcandy, ZAGG, Delta Apparel and Pactimo.

Can I register a single domain with multiple Google accounts? I have registered my domain for e-mail services already and verified it successfully. Now I want to use Google-Oauth service but have forgot the account details from which I have previously verified. So Can I now do this with another e-mail account?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Its not possible to register a domain to multiple Google Apps accounts. You can reset the credentials for the admin account, which will involve re-verifying the domain using DNS if you don't have access to the secondary email account anymore.
Could you give more details on how you are trying to 'register' OAuth? Are you trying to register/license a 3rd party application to become available to all users of your Google Apps domain, and the application needs OAuth to access user's data? Or are you trying to develop an application that uses the OAuth protocol and register it with Google?

A well-known Irish adventurer was killed in front of his fiancee when he was struck by lightning on the top of Mt Kilimanjaro.
Ian McKeever, 42, was leading a tour group up Africa's largest mountain in Tanzania, when the freak accident occurred.
His 34-year-old fiancee Anna O'Loughlin was also among those in the 20-strong group who were injured in the storm, but McKeever was the only one killed.
A man climbing just a metre away from McKeever was shot into the air by the strike, but survived and was treated in a Tanzanian hospital with the rest of the group.
According to the Daily Mail, the group began their ascent the day before New Year's Eve.
They struck bad weather early on in the trip, but McKeever wrote in online updates the group remained in high spirits.
In his final post he said: "We pray for dryer weather tomorrow - the big day. It's the Lava Tower." The Lava Tower is a landmark on the climb.
McKeever's family confirmed his death on his Facebook page, writing: "It is with deep regret, that we, Ian's family, fiancee Anna and friends, advise of his sudden death on Kilimanjaro, today, doing what he loved best."
McKeever had scaled close to all of the most dangerous peaks in the world, including Mount Everest.
In 2007, he broke the world record for the "Seven Summits Challenge" climbing the highest summit on each of the seven continents in 155 days, 32 days less than the previous record.
In 2008, McKeever helped his then 10-year-old godson Sean McSharry become the youngest person in Europe to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.
In 2009, he was part of a team that attempted to row the South Atlantic Ocean in under 30 days. They were forced to postpone the attempt when the boat lost its rudder.
Recently, he had been attempting to break the record for the fastest ascent of Kilimanjaro with African climbing guide friend Samuel Kinsonga.
He is also the author of two books, Give Me Shelter, and Give Me Heroes. He was working on a third book, Give Me 28 Days.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration puts the chances of getting struck by lightning at about one in 100,000.

This one works a treat!

 Fronted adverbials should now be taught from Year 3 upwards and this is a useful way in - it will also stretch talented KS2 writers.

 This dice-based activity encourages children to add a wide variety of fronted adverbials to a main clause.

 The game is differentiated into three different versions. In its simplest version, less confident writers can pick appropriate adverbs to open sentences. In the most challenging version writers must elaborate and include more than one adverbial at the start of the sentence. This can produce some stunning sentence work.

 My class have been able to apply this skill in their own writing and I'm sure yours will too.

 There is a presentation to provide your class (or any less confident teachers) with the knowledge needed to use the activity creatively.

 NEW! I have added a new game 'Warrior Swords!' to develop the skill of varying the length of fronted adverbials. It is more challenging than the other 3 versions attached.

 I hope you find the games as useful as I have.
Science Assessment in the New Curriculum
With the New Curriculum in force and Levels gone I have taken it upon myself to create a new assessment grid for Science. It works the same way as an APP grid. It also includes the Working Scientifically criteria. Like the New Curriculum, each assessment grid has been grouped into age ranges, KS1, Lower KS2 and Upper KS2. Rather than Levels, which I know OFSTED are dead against, I have gone with 'Stages' which admittedly is essentially the same thing as Levels, but by a different name, Having tested these myself I know that these grids are handy assessment tools, with simple highlighting needed, with dates, to show how well each child has done.

Cellphones do not increase the risks of childhood cancer or leukaemia, a comprehensive study has found.
Fears have long existed that radiofrequency fields from cellphones and towers can cause brain tumours, headaches and cancer, but the British study confirms the international consensus that cellphone use is safe.
Christchurch electromagnetic frequency expert Martin Gledhill, who has been tracking global research into the risks of cellphone use, said the latest findings from Britain's Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme (MTHR) supported the conclusions of specialist health groups who found no persuasive evidence of health effects from exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields.
"While it doesn't answer all the questions which have been raised about the safety of RF fields, it provides further reassurance that exposures to the RF fields we encounter day by day are not harmful."
That will be welcome news to Stephen Woodward, a game tester for Wellington mobile phone game company PikPok, who is surrounded by mobile devices and spends about half his day connected to them. "I've never been concerned, but if it turns out it's not bad for you then it's got to be good news."
His boss, Mario Wynands, said health fears were not generally a concern for the 80 or so people who worked there.
"It's one of those questions that's been kicking around in the general population for the past 20 years without any conclusive evidence either way.
"So I guess people just assume the best and move forward. And in this case, it's been the right assumption."
The MTHR report, published yesterday, gathered together more than a decade of exhaustive research and found that exposure to RF fields from cellphone towers during pregnancy does not affect the risk of early childhood cancer, and uncovered no evidence that cellphone use increases the risk of leukaemia.
The modulating of radio signals, which is how mobile phone and wi-fi data are carried, also produces no particular effect on health, the study says.
In December, Te Horo School on the Kapiti Coast decided to switch off wi-fi in its junior classrooms after a survey of parents revealed concerns about radiation exposure.
The MTHR study was jointly funded by the British Government and the telecommunications industry, and was overseen by an independent committee.
Mr Gledhill said that, despite the involvement of the industry, the $27m research programme had strong scientific oversight, and the public could have confidence in the quality and reliability of the results.
The most common concerns about personal cellphone use were that it increased the risk of brain tumours and caused various symptoms such as headaches, he said. Recent health reviews found no clear, consistent proof of aggravated brain tumour risk.
Although the latest research did not address either issue directly, Britain's Department of Health is funding continued research on the brain tumour question, and previous projects funded by MTHR did not support the idea that exposure caused any symptoms.
