Mobile phones and WiFi radiation health risks

Publisher By
There have been many skeptics since the very initial introduction of wireless service about what the constant exposure to radiation can do to human health and the nature surrounding it.

While the world is bracing for the launch of 5G services the question of the health risks looms large.

The result of the extensive study that was conducted by the National Institutes of Health, US was inconclusive. The 10 year study was conducted using 2G and 3G wireless radiation exposure on animals for 9 hours each day. While it did show the increased risk of mutation leading to the growth of tumors or tissue and DNA damage in a group of rodents, another group did not show any evident health issues related to the exposure.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has cited exposure to radiation as a potent carcinogen for humans. It means that long term exposure to radiations could result in extensive damage.

But here is something to think about. The studies were conducted on animals that were expo…

Secrets of Bonding 137: Identify 5 Mystery Bonds Contractors Need

Publisher By
Think you are pretty familiar with the various surety bonds contractors may need? See if you can identify these five that we are commonly asked to provide by contractors and our agency partners.



Mystery #1: In this instrument, the bonding company guarantees that a contractor / "principal" will correct defective materials and / or workmanship in a completed project. These bonds are often written for one or two years.

Mystery #2: This bond is issued with a municipality as beneficiary. It guarantees that the construction company, if allowed to disrupt public property, will restore the area after performing a contract and prevent the municipality from having to pay for such reconstruction.

Mystery #3: Number three is a form of financial guarantee that promises a money penalty will be paid if the construction company does not enter into a contract when expected to do so.

Mystery #4: This one is a guarantee that the construction company will comply with all the terms in a written contract and faithfully pay suppliers of labor and material used in connection with the project.

Mystery #5: Also written with a municipality are beneficiary, this bond promises that the principal will build certain "public improvements" stipulated by the municipal engineering firm. The municipality does not have a contract with the principal, nor will it pay for the work.

OK, got your answers?

#1: This is a Maintenance Bond. They normally are issued after the completion / acceptance of a contract. The dollar amount is often for less than the contract.

#2: A Street Opening Bond is an example of a Permit Bond. This enables a contractor to cut the street open for access to water and sewer connections. If the municipality grants permission for the work, they expect it to be reconstructed in accordance with local building standards, and not at public expense.

#3: Is a Bid Bond. Bid bond amounts are often expressed as a percentage of the proposal they accompany (such as a "10% bid bond"). This is because the actual bid amount is confidential to the bidder at the time of bond issuance. If the bidder fails to accept an award of the contract, the bid bond penalty may be claimed by the obligee to reimburse them for going to the second (higher) proposal.

#4: A Performance and Payment Bond (aka Labor and Materialmen's Payment Bond) is issued usually for 100% of the contract amount. These are commonly required to protect the public interest on government contracts. Private owners and lenders may also stipulate them.

#5: A Site Bond. Contractors sometimes ask us for these, but the correct applicant is the property OWNER, not the construction company being hired to do the work.

If the contractor furnishes this bond (we do NOT recommend this), they become obligated directly to the municipality, and must build the required public improvements even if they are not paid by the property owner. Bad! The site bond obligation more correctly lies with the property owner / developer.

How Does The Flu Shot Work?

Publisher By
Medical experts recommend that everybody should get a flu shot before the peak flu season begins, which is from December to March. However, many people simply prefer not to take it because of the mistaken notion that taking the vaccine will actually give them the flu. There is a reason why people believe this.
It is a known fact that vaccines actually contain the virus that they are made to kill. This means, in the case of the flu vaccine, it actually contains the flu virus. This naturally triggers the question - won't it then cause the symptoms in the person who gets the shot?

To understand how this works, take a look at how vaccines work.

How flu shots work

The influenza virus is first deactivated and then used to prepare the vaccine. About ten to fourteen days after you've received the flu shot, the deactivated viruses help to develop antibodies in your body. These new antibodies are strong and robust enough to prevent any new influenza viruses from invading th…

Harmonization and Labeling

Publisher By
• This article is not to be confused with the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) standards, also called CLP in the EU whose main purpose is to communicate hazards on product labels and safety data sheets.

• In general the principals of harmonization are the same, i.e. to 'make one' or create a common framework, whether it be for labeling or for other purposes. Harmonization brings Clarity, Consistency, Confidence and Compliance. Imagine if all countries follow the same regulatory labeling guideline, the savings in cost would be significant. It was with this same intent that CODEX was established by the WHO way back in 1963 with the intent of developing food standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations which can be adopted by all member countries. Even though CODEX is still active, Codex standards and related texts are voluntary and member countries are not bound by or required to adopt them. Many coun…

Safety of Fertility Drugs

Publisher By
By Sunita Verma Safety of fertility drugs - Is it a cause of concern?For millions of women struggling to conceive, fertility drugs are the first stepin treatment. Clomiphene works by stimulating the hormones in brain that trigger an egg (or several) to develop and be released from ovaries. Gonadotropins stimulate ovaries directly to produce eggs. Women typically produce only one or two eggs a month. Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), urofollitropin, or recombinant FSH prompts the ovaries to produce several eggs. One of these drugs is injected into the muscle or under the skin. What are the risks of gonadotropin treatment?• Conceiving multiples is the most common complication of gonadotropin treatment.

Business Negotiation - How Do You Know When To Trust The Truth - Negotiation Tip of the Week

Publisher By
By Greg Williams"You don't know what the truth looks like, even though I've recited it numerous times to you through my ever-changing story."What does the truth feel like, sound like, look like, when you feel it, hear it, see it? How do you determine to what degree the truth has been told? The truth can be fluid. That means, we know what the truth is today, based on what we've known to be truthful in the past. Then, as greater insight, discoveries, and other machinations are introduced into our environment, a new truth can emerge.It's important to understand how you discern what you perceive to be the truth because others can manipulate you, based on what they know of your ability to distinguish between fact from fiction.To become more cognizant as to when someone might be engaging in the truth, versus having no relationship with it at all, take note of the following insights.Demeanor - Yours and Theirs:Always note the demeanor of someone when they engage wi…
