At about 80 million, there are now more mobiles than people in the UK. But
since the nineties, when their use became more widespread, there have
been nagging doubts about their safety. For many people these were
resolved two years ago with a report from the Mobile Telecommunications
and Health Research Programme. The programme, jointly funded by the
Government and the industry, concluded that mobile phones, base stations
and masts 'have not been found to be associated with any biological or
adverse health effects'.
The Interphone study, partly funded by the mobile phone industry, found an
increased risk of glioma - the most common brain tumour. This follows the
results of an American-Korean study published a fortnight ago which
showed that mobile use increases brain tumour risk by around 25 per
cent. And a similar report from Australian scientists in July showed double
the risk after ten years' use. However, none of these reports included
children, and they are the group experts are most worried about.
'I am seeing more patients than ever and at younger ages,' says Kevin
O'Neill, consultant neurosurgeon at Charing Cross Hospital in London. 'The
big fear among brain specialists is that the most likely culprit - and certainly
the one that gets closest to the brain - is radiation from mobile handsets.'
'Mobiles were originally designed to be used for short, urgent calls,' says
Professor Shakeel Saeed, an ear and brain specialist at University College
London. 'But young people use them like any other phone, often for long
periods.'
While death rates for all the other major cancers are falling, 'for brain
cancer they are rising', according to charity Brain Tumour Research. And
worse, ‘it is claiming more children,' says its chairman Wendy Fulcher.
In the UK, cases among children are increasing by almost three per cent a
year, with most childhood brain tumours occurring in one to two-year-olds.
But how could brain cancer in children too young to own phones be
connected to them?
The effect on babies and children does not stop there, according to
Professor Stefaan van Gool, who treats children with brain cancer at Leuven
Catholic University, Belgium. 'Cordless baby alarms, toys and phones expose
children to daily radiation. Although the intensity is less than a mobile,
children are more susceptible to the effects. A lot of young children have
Wi-Fi at school, so their exposure is continual.'
Professor Lennart Hardell says: 'Why wait for conclusive evidence? Children
deserve to be protected and we have enough data to justify warnings and
restrictions for them.' Some countries agree. The Russian Health Protection
Agency has advised the government to ban mobile use for under-18s.
France is introducing legislation to ban advertising of mobiles to under-14s
and their use in nurseries and primary schools. In Salzburg, Austria, Wi-Fi is
banned in schools. Here, in the UK, the Department of Health circulated
leaflets in 2000 advising that children limit use to 'short, essential calls'. Its
more recent advice, that care should be taken 'in particular with the use of
handsets by very young children', was posted only on its website. The
Mobile Operators Association, meanwhile, dismisses the research as
inconclusive and holds to its position that, after the age of two, children's
brains are no more vulnerable to microwave emissions than adults' so
standard safety limits protect them.
It may be the choice of a generation, but for today’s teenagers lip and
tongue piercing could have implications to their oral health later in life
according to Dr Sabrina Manickam, Senior Lecturer in Dentistry at Charles
Sturt University (CSU).
“If you have your lip or tongue pierced, and have inserted a stud, you are
risking painful damage to your teeth such as fractures which create
ongoing dental treatment commitments which can be very expensive,”
Western NSW dental therapist Lynne Turner said.
“Tongue piercing carries a risk of injury to the vital structures such as the
tongue, as it is full of muscle fibres, blood vessels, nerves and taste buds so
it’s important to contact your dentist before having oral piercing done so
you are given enough information about future complications to make an
informed decision.”
New CSU degree courses in oral health therapy and hygiene and dentistry
will ensure more trained professionals in the dentistry industry are available
to rural and remote areas. “It’s important that teenagers can get access to
dentists and dental therapists if they are going to make informed decisions
about piercing,” Dr Manickam said. “Our graduates will be thoroughly
trained to give teenagers and parents adequate information on the
importance of oral hygiene.”

Read the text and write the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.
Older people in Japan are fond of saying with a shake of their heads that
women have “grown stronger“ since the end of World War II. The comment
is (1)________________________ of very real changes that have taken place
over the last 30 years. But to (2)____________________ the status of women in
postwar Japan, one must go back to early history.
For more than six centuries before 1868, Japan was a feudal society isolated
for much of that period from contact with foreign countries. Feudal
customs, as well as the inluence of Buddhism and Confucianism imported
from China, accorded women law status in the family and gave them
almost no role in running society. (3)________________________ was in the
hands of a warrior class, the samurai. If women of all classes in feudal
society had a low position in the family and society, wives of samurai
perhaps led the most restricted lives of all.
The year 1868 marked the end of the feudal era. Thereafter, Japan entered
a period of rapid modernization. But despite fundamental changes in many
areas of Japanese life, until the end of World War II, modernization did not

best (5)_________________________ to the values and attitudes of Japan’s
modernizing elite. Former samurai themselves, the leadership was not
concerned with reforming the social order. Equality of social paricipation for
women was a goal wholly (6)_______________________ to the samurai
experience.
In the typical family in the modern period to 1945, a bride, especially when
she married an eldest son who would become the family heir, went to live
with her husband’s family and was expected to

generation household, the new bride occupied the lowest status of all
family members and was expected to be obedient to the authority of her
mother-in-law.
The Bussiness Law discipline offers a major sequence in law for candidates
not seeking to become (1)__________________________ (law). The curriculum
is designed to develop an awareness of the nature and role of law in
society through a basic understanding of: legal institutions; fundamental
legal concepts; philosophical, social, political and economic issues raised
by a system of law; the process of change in law and the overall relevance
of law to (2)_______________________ (decide) made in both the public and
private sectors. Legal obligations arise in every facet of human life, whether
on a (3)________________________ (pure) individual basis, or as a
consequence of association with other members of society in industrial,

units in law provide the (5)__________________ (found) for becoming a more
informed and effective member of society, and for a variety of careers in
industry, commerce, government and education.

You’ll hear Shane Dunphy from child protection unit talking about people
naming their children after celebrities or the ones they love. For sentences
1-10, decide if each statement is TRUE or FALSE by putting a tick (√) in the
appropriate box.
'My name was always a topic of conversation when I was growing up," the
boy told me. He was a tall, dark haired 14-year-old. He was sitting in the
observation room of the child protection unit where I was based, about to
spend an hour in my company because of extremely violent outbursts at his
school.
A cursory look at his file indicated a possible source of stress: this young
man's name was Napoleon.
"I mean, how many other kids were called after major historical figures?" he
asked in exasperation. "There weren't too many Attilas, Hannibals or
Wellingtons. I was 12 before I even met an Alexander, for God's sake!"
In the torrid world of celebrity, Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen have just
been blessed with a healthy baby boy, whom they have named Kai. Kai is
currently the 68th most popular baby name in Ireland and the UK.
Napoleon does not feature in the ranking.
Failing to notice that the screen icon changed his rather effeminate title as
soon as he possibly could, Marion's father followed the path of the evil Dad
in Johnny Cash's 'Boy Named Sue', and cursed his son to a childhood of
fighting and anguish. In this instance, there was nothing to be done except
literally have the child's name legally altered -- he also became John,
possibly the most ordinary name he could think of, while, of course, keeping
his father happy.
The fact is, unusual names more often than not say more about the parents
than they do about the poor child who is lumbered with them.
"I was always told how great this guy was, how he was a brilliant soldier and
politician, how he shaped the way the world is governed today -- I always
thought I was expected to live up to that, somehow. That if I did anything to
let down the image of this dead white man, I was also letting my father
down. And it didn't help that the name caused me to have the piss taken
out of me from the second I started school."
There are countless books and websites which deal with naming your child,
and most posit the advice that parents should consider a number of factors
when choosing the label by which their progeny will be known for the rest of
their lives.
After all, children do not have any say whatsoever in what they are to be
called.
The Bumper Book of Baby Names warns parents to consider names which
reflect their child's personality, and suggest qualities of strength or
compassion to which they can aspire.
In other words, the name given to a child should be a gift, and reflect the
persona of the child as an individual -- yet so often, this is flagrantly ignored.
Familial bonds can be the cause of problems, too. I once worked with an
eight-year-old girl whose parents had seen fit to name her after her
maternal grandfather -- Michael. The sensible thing may have been to call
her Michaela, but they chose to go with the masculine. All young Michael's
aunts and uncles had also had girls, and the entire family had wanted a
boy to be born this time around.
Alas, it was just not to be, and so this final daughter was saddled with a
man's name. It took much persuasion -- and six months' worth of visits to a
child psychologist -- to add that extra vowel.
Keeping a family tradition does not always mean adopting a grandparent's
name. I worked with a child in care whose given name was Tom Tom. His
father was a drummer, and this had been his nick-name during his glory
days.
Research has shown that, for example, girls with very feminine names like
Daisy or Poppy, can develop attitudes and behavioural traits which mirror
that. Similarly, underneath his anger, Napoleon's teachers all agreed that
he was a very strong individual, with clearly defined leadership qualities.
The message seems to be that choosing a name for your newly arrived
child should never be done in haste. Remember, you -- and your little prince
or princess -- will have to live with it for many years to come.
A brief look at the names many parents -- both inside and outside the world
of celebrity -- inflict upon their children shows that the act is regularly used
as an exercise in attracting tabloid attention and pseudo-intellectual
posturing than it is cementing a child's future success -- or sanity.
