The cellular phone industry was born in the early 1980s,when
communications technology that had been developed for the Department of
Defence in USA was put into commerce by companies focusing on
profit.This group,with big ideas but limited resources,pressured USA's
government regulatory agencies-particularly the food and drug
administration (FDA)-to allow cell phones to be sold without pre-market
testing.
Among the known effects discovered by scientists that are caused by cell phone radiations are;
damaging the DNA,break down the brain's defenses,and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss,the risk of Alzheimer's diseases, and even cancer.The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable.
Cell phones emit radio-frequency energy (radio waves), a form of
non-ionizing radiation. Tissues nearest to where the phone is held can
absorb this energy. The latest study by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in
Finland - the home of mobile phone giant Nokia - has found that one
hour of mobile radiation triggered potentially harmful changes in human
cells.
The radiation made the cells in blood vessel walls shrink - allowing potentially harmful substances in the blood to 'leak' into the brain.
Repeated exposure, the study found, could make the blood-brain barrier more permeable, leading to increased brain damage.
It concluded: 'Repeated occurrences of these events on a daily basis, over a long period of time, could become a health hazard due to possible accumulation of brain tissue damage.'
A
study conducted by Ohio's Cleveland Clinic found that the sperm counts
of cell phone users --defined as four hours a day or more--were 40
percent lower than those who use cell phone infrequently or not at all.

Effect on the brain
Cell phones emit radio-frequency energy (radio waves), a form of
non-ionizing radiation. Tissues nearest to where the phone is held can
absorb this energy. The latest study by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in
Finland - the home of mobile phone giant Nokia - has found that one
hour of mobile radiation triggered potentially harmful changes in human
cells.The radiation made the cells in blood vessel walls shrink - allowing potentially harmful substances in the blood to 'leak' into the brain.
Repeated exposure, the study found, could make the blood-brain barrier more permeable, leading to increased brain damage.
It concluded: 'Repeated occurrences of these events on a daily basis, over a long period of time, could become a health hazard due to possible accumulation of brain tissue damage.'
Effect on Sperms
The research examined 361 men who were about to begin
fertility treatment and were having their sperm analyzed for that purpose.
In addition to having lower sperm counts, the researchers
found, the quality of the sperm of heavy cell-phone users was also diminished.
Men who were moderate cell phone users also saw a loss is sperm count, although
the lowered levels were less dramatic.
Dr. Ashok Agarwal, who led the research, told The Times of
London that he believed the electromagnetic fields generated by cell phones
were responsible for the diminished sperm count.
Tips on how you can reduce these effects
-Buy a Low Radiation Cell Phone
-Use a Headset or speaker
-Listen More Talk Less-More Radiation is generated while broadcasting
-Hold your cell phone away from your body when using (Headset,Speaker
phone) and when in storage-keep in a purse or away from you not in a
pocket or next to you.
-Choose texting over talking when possible
-When signal reception is poor stay off the phone-more radio-frequency is needed in low signal
-Limit your Children's exposure-young bodies absorb more radiation.
-Skip Radiation Shields-these don't work to protect you they actually
cause your phone to emit more Radio-frequency due to the low connection

Choosing
the right business partner can be a difficult decision. Choosing a
friend as a business partner seems natural, but will this option reduce
the risks? What role does friendship play in a life-long business
partnership?
What are the general and crucial traits of a good friend? Some may disagree, but the common threads found in any friendship are loyalty, trust, shared values, respect, honesty and effective communication. One could say that, when it comes to selecting a business partner that these are traits one would want to see between two business partners.

What are the general and crucial traits of a good friend? Some may disagree, but the common threads found in any friendship are loyalty, trust, shared values, respect, honesty and effective communication. One could say that, when it comes to selecting a business partner that these are traits one would want to see between two business partners.
You
might not know initially if these qualities are present in someone you
chose as a business partner; but if you are considering a friend as a
possible option, you will know it should indeed be easier to find out if
these core qualities are there or not.
Childhood
friends, Bill Gates and Paul Allen (Founders of Microsoft Corporation)
or Steve Jobs and SteveWozniak (Founders of Apple Computers) are just
one of many examples of the role friendship plays in life-long business
partnerships. Their shared passion for computers and their joint
commitment to entrepreneurship were binding values.
Life-long
business partnerships with a friend might still be challenging at
times, but if you take into consideration what is needed to make any
business relationship work, having a foundation of friendship could work
in your favour. What role could friendship play in ensuring a life-long
business partnership?
1. The presence of honesty
Without
honest communication and transparency, any business relationship will
fail (or be difficult to maintain). Having a friend as a business
partner reduces, for example, the possibility of issues being shoved
under the rug or someone feeling excluded – a friend will tell it like
it is.
2. Loyalty from start
When you are starting a new business with someone, there is often a fear of your idea “getting out”
and someone else beating you to it. The existence of loyalty between
business partners is vital right from the start and this might be
difficult to gage with someone you meet for the first time.
3. A common passion
Not
all friends have the same passions but if you are starting a business
with a friend, the common passion you share for the business you are
creating will be one of the most valuable aspects of your business
relationship. Being passionate about something, and sharing the feeling
is the perfect soil for common goals towards innovation and
productivity.
No matter whom you choose, a business partnership has associated risk and it’s always important to think it through carefully. However, friendship can be an important advantage in life-long business partnerships.

There is way too much nonsense going around in nutrition.
People don’t seem to agree on anything and trying to make sense of it can be overwhelming.
However...eating healthy does NOT have to be complicated if you keep a few things in mind.
Here are 15 things that everyone needs to know about nutrition.
1. Meat Does Not Rot In Your Colon
One of the most ridiculous myths about meat, is that it rots in your colon. This is absolute nonsense, kept alive by people who want to scare others away from eating meat.
The truth is that meat gets broken down by stomach acid and enzymes,
then absorbed, mostly as amino acids and fatty acids. The human
digestive system is well equipped for meat consumption and our bodies
make full use of the proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals found in
meat.
If you want to know what really rots in your colon, then it is indigestible plant matter, also known as fiber.
This is actually a good thing… the friendly bacteria in the intestine
digest the fiber and turn it into short-chain fatty acids that have
important benefits for health.
2. Everywhere The Western Diet Goes, Diseases Follow
Most chronic, Western diseases are relatively new. They appeared
recently in evolutionary history and populations that don’t eat processed foods don’t get them.
The truth is… everywhere the Western junk food diet goes, chronic
diseases follow. This was well documented by researchers (including the
legendary Weston A. Price) in the earlier parts of the 20th century, when many populations were on the brink of Western influence.
When these populations abandoned their traditional diet in favor of
modern “luxuries” like sugar, refined flour and processed oils, they got
sick. They got fat, their teeth started to rot, they became diabetic
and started dying from heart disease and cancer. It happened within a
few years.
These diseases are often referred to as the “diseases of
civilization” – which are currently the biggest health problems in the
world. Most of them are exacerbated or downright caused by the modern
diet.
3. Most "Studies" Reported By The Media Are Absolute Nonsense
The way nutrition studies are reported in the media is a disgrace.
These studies are often taken completely out of context and weak
studies are made to seem like they prove something. Usually, these
studies are observational studies, which can not prove anything.
Such studies can only show a statistical correlation and give researchers ideas for something to test in randomized controlled trials. Unfortunately, this leads many people to make important health decisions based on bad and misleading science.
4. Refined And Processed Oils Are Extremely Unhealthy
Processed seed- and vegetable oils like soybean and canola oils are often mistakenly assumed to be healthy.
This is a huge mistake. These oils weren’t
available to humans until a hundred years ago, because the technology
to process them wasn’t available. Their fatty acid composition is
completely different than anything we were ever exposed to throughout
evolution, being very high in Omega-6 fatty acids, which can cause
problems when consumed in excess .
These oils are also loaded with trans fats… which are highly toxic
and strongly associated with metabolic problems and heart disease . It is best to eat healthy, natural fats like coconut oil, butter and extra virgin olive oil avoid processed seed- and vegetable oils like the plague.
5. "Natural" Doesn’t Necessarily Mean "Healthy"
It is a mistake to assume that everything that is natural is
healthy. True… it is a very good rule of thumb to choose natural foods
instead of processed.
But there are many examples of so-called natural foods being just as
harmful as their processed counterparts… if not worse. One example of
that is a “natural” syrup called Agave nectar.
This syrup used to be very popular in the natural health community
and found its way into all sorts of “health foods.” However, when
looking at the nutrient composition, it contains even more fructose than
plain old sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
Fructose is
the most unhealthy part of sugar and agave is loaded with it, making it
even unhealthier than regular sugar.. and that’s saying something.
6. Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat
It seems intuitive that eating fat would make you fat.
After all, the stuff that lodges under our skin and makes us soft and
puffy, is fat. So, eating more fat should make us store more of it. Fat
also has more calories per gram than protein and carbs, another reason some people believe fat to be inherently fattening.
But the body is much more complicated than that and this depends entirely on the context.
Many studies show
that diets that are high in fat (but low in carbs) actually lead to
more weight loss than diets that are low in fat but high in carbs .
7. Carbs Don’t Make You Fat
Many low-carbers believe that carbs are inherently fattening, but this is false.
Even though removing carbs can (in many cases) reverse obesity, it doesn’t mean that “carbs” per se caused the
problem in the first place. There are many examples of populations that
ate a very high-carb diet (with real foods) and didn’t have obesity or
other chronic, Western diseases.
This includes the Okinawans and Kitavans, as well as Asian populations that ate a lot of rice.
If you’re just a healthy person trying to stay healthy, then a low-carb diet may
be completely unnecessary. Just stick to unprocessed carb sources that
include fiber. The prevention doesn’t need to be the same as the cure.
8. Protein Is The Most Important Macronutrient To Lose Weight
When it comes to losing weight, protein is the king of nutrients. Numerous studies show that it can boost metabolism (calories out) and reduce appetite (calories in).
A high protein diet can increase the amount of calories you burn by
80 to 100 calories per day, because protein requires energy to be
metabolized. There
is also a study showing that eating 30% of calories as protein made
people automatically eat 441 fewer calories per day and lose 11 pounds
in 12 weeks, just by adding protein to their diet .
If you keep protein high, then you should automatically tilt the energy balance equation in your favour and make it easier to lose weight over the long term.
9. Sugar Is A Disaster… And Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Are The Worst
The harmful effects of sugar go way beyond empty
calories. It is now known that due to the large amount of fructose,
sugar can lead to all sorts of metabolic problems and is strongly
associated with the risk of chronic disease.
Sugar is bad, but consuming it in liquid form is even worse. Liquid
sugar calories don’t get registered by the brain in the same way as
solid sugar calories, so the brain doesn’t compensate by eating less of
other foods.
If anything, sugar-sweetened beverages are the single most fattening
and disease promoting aspect of the modern diet. One study shows that
the risk of obesity in children is increased by 60% for each single
daily serving of a sugar-sweetened beverage.
Unfortunately, fruit juice isn’t
much better. It is very similar to a sugar-sweetened beverage and the
small amounts of vitamins do NOT make up for the large amounts of sugar.
10. The Best Diet (Or Way Of Eating) For YOU Is The One You Can Stick To
The “right” diet for an individual depends on numerous things. This
includes age, gender, activity levels, metabolic health, food culture
and personal preference.
It is a huge mistake to assume that there is such a thing as an
optimal diet for everyone. Of course, there are some diets that work
best for certain health problems… a low-carb diet for diabetics, for example.
However, if you simply want to lose (or maintain) weight and prevent
disease, perhaps the single most important factor is finding something
that you can stick to in the long run.
This is ultimately the key determinant of long-term success… finding
something that you like and can stick to for life. Losing weight is a
marathon, not a race.
11. Dietary Cholesterol Is Not Harmful
In the past, dietary cholesterol and saturated fat were demonized. However… new massive studies have shown that there really is no link to heart disease. It was a myth all along.
Studies on the low-fat diet still
recommended all around the world show that it is 100% useless. It does
not lead to long term weight loss or prevent heart disease or cancer.
It is time to retire the low-fat fad.
12. Never Trust What Manufacturers Put On The Label
Unfortunately, food manufacturers aren’t very honest about the true
health effects of their foods. They often put misleading health claims
on the packaging, deceiving people into thinking that their products are
healthy.
This includes “whole grain” labels on sugary breakfast cereals and
low-fat labels on yogurts. Usually these foods are loaded with sugar, or
they really don’t contain what they’re claimed to. In any case, small
amounts of a healthy ingredient do NOT make up for large amounts of
unhealthy ingredients like sugar or refined seed oils.
Keep this golden rule in mind… if the packaging of a food tells you that it is healthy, then it probably isn’t.
13. Calories Count, But You Don’t Necessarily Need To Count Them To Succeed
Some people say that all that matters when it comes to losing weight,
is calories in and calories out. It is true that in order to lose
weight, more energy (calories) needs to be leaving the body than
entering it.
This is dictated by an unbreakable law of physics called the First Law of Thermodynamics. However… the human body is an immensely complex metabolic machine and there are many complex factors at play.
There are many things you can do to achieve negative energy balance,
without ever counting a single calorie. This includes cutting carbs,
eating more protein and/or simply abandoning processed foods in favour
of real, unprocessed foods.
Calories count, that is a scientific fact. But that doesn’t mean that counting them is necessary.
14. If It’s Labelled "No Fat" Or "Low-Fat" Then It's Probably Bad For You
When researchers and the media started demonizing fat, all sorts of
processed foods were put on the market. The problem is, natural foods
taste horrible when the fat has been removed from them.
The food manufacturers were well aware of this problem, so they added
a whole bunch of sugar and artificial chemicals to make up for the lack
of fat. Most low-fat foods have had the fat removed, only to be
replaced with something much, much worse.
15. Real Food Is The Key To Good Health; Processed Junk Food Is Not
Even though nutrition can be extremely complicated, eating healthy is
simple. The most important thing is to stick to whole, unprocessed
foods that resemble what they looked like in nature.
If the ingredients list has more than 5 items, or chemical sounding
names that you don't understand, then it's probably bad for you. Keep in
mind that real food doesn’t even need an ingredients list, because real
food IS the ingredient.

It is very easy to wish to be an entrepreneur than becoming one.Some people think that starting & running their own business is as the same as becoming entrepreneurs but this is a wrong assumption.It is important to know that not all business owners are entrepreneurs but all entrepreneurs are business owners.
Entrepreneurship is about behavior,character and much more of personal traits than just getting a capital, buy a computer, pay for an office then open a business.
But,what so called entrepreneurs or wanna be entrepreneurs think of entrepreneurship? what do they think what it means to be an entrepreneur? Here are five (5) myths about being entrepreneurs:
If you become an entrepreneur,you will definitely be successful
Most people think that starting and running their businesses as entrepreneurs is a recipe or their success, some leave their jobs and join the entrepreneurship with this myth, some graduate and become entrepreneurs with this mindset, but if you learn about the qualities of successful entrepreneurs, it takes time, patience, and perseverance to achieve success.Just because Oprah Winfrey started talk show and turned out to be a million dollar success, it does not guarantee you today to do the same.
You can just work at anytime
Most people think that becoming an entrepreneur will give you a flexible time schedule and so you can even wake up at 10 am.You need to know from the beginning that working as an entrepreneur will require most of your time as compared to be employed by someone, don't lie to yourself that you can just work 3 to 5 hours a day and go home watch TV, it is more than that, its not about working at anytime but working at proper time and with efficiency
You can just take a day-off at anytime
Most people think that once you become an entrepreneur, you can just take 3 days off in the middle of the week and
travel, or you can just decide not to work in this week and maybe work another week, this is wrong, know that in the first 2 to 5 years of running your own business as an entrepreneur, you live, eat and breath your business, the business needs you all the time, but this does not mean that you should not take days off and recharge.
You can just work from home,spend time with your family and pets
Some people think that once you become an entrepreneur you can just relax, wake up at 10 am, work from home while watching TV, playing with your pets, and even changing diapers.This is wrong; you need enough time dedication, focus, and concentration if you were to be a successful entrepreneur, but don't get me wrong about working from home, you can efficiently and cost-effectively work from home and running your business successfully, the important thing is to create an environment for that
Conclusively, you need to learn and understand about the traits of becoming a successful entrepreneur? you need to rethink and do away with these myths, focus on your business as the owner, and learn about becoming successful

Palikuwa na mji mmojawapo wa Kilatini ambao mfalme wake aliamuru kuwatupa mtoni Tibrisi watoto pacha wa kiume, Romulus na Remus wakiwa ndio kwanza tu wamezaliwa na binamu yake mfalme huyo kwani aliogopa kupokonywa utawala wake watakapokuwa. Kwa wakati huo mto Tibrisi ulikuwa umefurika na susu lilitupwa majini likiwa na watoto hao ndani yake. Kwa bahati nzuri susu hilo lilikwama kwenye tawi la mti ulioanguka na kuelea mtoni.Watoto hao wakanusurika,wakaokotwa na mbwa jike wa mwituni, akawanyonyesha maziwa yake ili wasife njaa. Halafu baadaye wakagunduliwa na mchungaji ambaye aliwatunza mpaka wakakua na kuwa maaskari wenye nguvu na ushujaa mwingi.Wakazusha uasi dhidi ya mfalme yule wakamwua kisha ndugu hao, Romulus na Remus wakaamua kujenga mji ila tu waligombana juu ya mahali pa kuujenga na nani atakayekuja kuutawala. Ugomvi ukazidi na ukapelekea Romulus akamwua Remus. Karibu na pale yeye na nduguye walipogunduliwa na mchungaji, Romulus akajenga mji,na huo ukawa ndio Rumi au kwa kilatini-Roma.
Vyanzo vya kihistoria vinasema mji wa huo ulichomoza mnamo 753 B.C na tangu hapo ndipo walipooanza hesabu za miaka ya historia yao. Baadaye kwenye kilima cha kapitoli (capital) huko Rumi kilijengwa sanamu la mbwa jike yule aliyewaokoa Romulus na Remus. Sanamu hiyo kwa sasa linahifadhiwa kwenye makumbusho.
