  • Frightening Facts

    An educational read. Even without any interest in pyschology, (Can I even spell it? whew!) This was an informative piece, with ideas in there to assist in guiding our children on what we hope to be the best path in life.Thank you

  • Radiation and mobile phones

    While I in no dispute the possible dangers of mobile phones, This is just an interesting comment I heard on the radio the other day. Apparently, there was a mast up in a location whcih I can't even recall at this point in time. However, a family living close by were suffering from headaches and disturbed sleep patterns etc from the time of the erection of this mast. Upon researching this claim, it was discovered that the mast in question was a blind one. ie, had never been hooked up!! Curious or what? Having said that, the rest of the report went onto say, Men shoudl not ware their phones in their pockets, (they have thought to possibly... have something of an egg frying effect on their future capability of producing childern), and the best advise seems to be to use a bluetooth headset, which wirelessly connect to the device in up to a ten meter range. Of course, as always, the jury is still out on this area of research.Tóg go bog é

  • A place in my heart

    This is one VERY informative piece. Working in mobile communications as i do, I would have to dispute small aspects of this piece. for example, Almost all mobile devices on sale today are already by and large capable of sending and receiving email, internet access (by way of WAP) and with the use of MMS now available on most units, are even capable of sending and receiving photographs/video clips from one unit to the next as well as to email addresses and websites. This is no longer something that is due to happen in the future, it is here and now! The new Nokia 6600 (available in Europe) is also capable of displaying full lenght videos, as well as conecting directly to a portable printer to instantly print out those photographs taken with the integrated camera. IT is also set up to allow the user to view streamed video. Which might entail catching the latest football match live from the net. The nokia 7650 was capable of doing this also. It was launched approximately two years ago +. By and large it might be worth putting the facts and figures into laymans terms in the above piece. there is wonderful opportunity to give examples of how these services could effect you the user, should you choose to take advantage of some of them.with regard to pricing... In most countries, the networks providing the services subsidize the cost of mobile phone devices. Thus making units available to customers at a very low price point. Thus driving competition among manufacturers, as... the networks are driving which model unit will sell best this week, based of which one has the strongest offer attached to it. It is naturally in the best interest of the manufacturer, to come to mass quantities agreeements with these networks in order to cushion their market position.Ah I could go on and on, and in doing so undermine your tremendous research and effort in putting together this paper. Which would be completely unjustified. As top marks are deserved all round.Cheers From IrelandTóg go bog é

  • Detailed!!

    There's a section in there on the death on Semele which is repeated further down. I found this to be detailed, perhaps too much so. Given the nature of mythology perhap more of a story would be more appropriate
