Turn Off Your Hand Phone Please

February 28th, 2011 No comments

The progress of communication technology has made man increasingly dependent on mobile phones. Now, almost every person is always accompanied this device at every opportunity. However, we must remain vigilant. Because cell phones can also be bad for humans. These impacts can be related to health to safety.

In addition, there are several locations that were not friendly with this gadget, especially security and safety reasons. And, one of the places where mobile phones are prohibited from ‘on’ is in the aircraft cabin.

So far there are few reports of accidents of commercial aircraft, which after investigation, is caused by mobile phones. One of them is a Crossair plane accident. The aircraft fell shortly after take off at the airport in Zurich, Switzerland, and claimed the lives of ten passengers. The investigation of this incident revealed that the accident occurred due to a problem with the steering system caused flight mobile phone signal.

Another is happening with Slovenia Air plane. This aircraft had an emergency landing because the alarm sounds and there is interference on the navigation system. Apparently, this problem occurs because the device in a cabin that is still in a state ‘on’ alias active.

Besides mobile phones, there are a number of other electronic devices that may interfere with the performance of aircraft. This happened on Qantas plane which suddenly tilted and climb again as high as 700 feet, a moment will land at London’s Heathrow airport. Later in mind, it was not caused by cell phone, but by a portable computer, CD player, and electronic game consoles that are not turned off by passengers.

ARS (Aviation Safety Reporting System) states that mobile phone signals or other gadgets can cause interference with aircraft communications and navigation systems. It can be a direction that deviated flight, interference with the frequency of communication, disruption of fuel indicator and automatic steering systems, and other disorders.

For that, we should be more disciplined and wise in the use of mobile phones, especially when traveling by plane. Before entering the cabin the aircraft do not just change the ‘profile’ phones on the menu ‘silent’ or ‘vibrate’ only. But make sure to turn off your cellular phone. You can re-enable new mobile phone after being in the airport terminal building.

And you need not doubt admonish others who still use or activate their phones when the cabin. All this for your own safety and all that is in the plane. Have a safe flight.

Caring Our Hearing

February 19th, 2011 No comments

Sensorineural hearing loss used to be related with aging.  But according to several research recently revealed a surprising result.  That kind of deafness has also commonly found on young ages.  Studies were shown that 60% of people who use earphones (connected to music players, computers and other devices) for a prolonged period have sensorineural hearing problems.” Nowadays, young people have these earphones on for hours at a time while they are walking, eating, and even sleeping.

The modern day has brought with it electronic devices such as portable music players, high-tech earphones and headsets, and state of the art loudspeakers.  They’re all correspond to young people. But if we do care of our hearing, it is best to completely avoid the use of earphones or to stay away from loud noise or music. If people really want to use their earphones, they should use it for only 30 minutes a day at a low volume. Prolonged use may destroy the ears.

There are certain devices that check noise levels which is used in some studies. They did a study testing the noise levels at a nearby airport and then they checked the residents in that area for hearing loss. Around half of the residents have hearing problems. This is due to the noise levels, and they proved it. The studies also state that around 50 decibels is a healthy level of noise whereas “around 80-100 decibels and up of chronic exposure is damaging.”

Becoming aware of these causes of early sensorineural hearing loss may prevent it from happening before it is too late. Parents, most especially, should heed these precautions as early as possible so that the exposure of children to loud and prolonged noise or music may be lessened.

February 9th, 2011 No comments

Going back to work or not, is a question asked by many mothers when the breastfeeding time is almost over.  If the decision to work outside the house or stay home with the children is for money, this wouldn’t be so easy.  You need to think about several things, such as :

What do you feel to be at home with your children? Some women would not choose to be a stay home mother for good; some others would.  Do not let anyone influence you to stay home or otherwise.  This is a problem that you should decide by yourself. But if you have no other choice except for going back to work, even if your heart told you otherwise, be honest to yourself.  Let yourself to mourn for a while, for the lost of your dream to stay at home with your child.

What do you feel if you are more financially independent than your husband? When you decided to stay at home and taking care of the family, you will lose your financial independence.  You will fully dependent to your husband and can change your marriage strength balance and put you in more vulnerable position for a financial disaster.  The best way to overcome this problem is to openly discuss it with your spouse about how you will handle your financial problem if the income is become only one, and ask your husband ether he already had enough insurance to protect you and your children if something bad happened to him.

How much you enjoy your career. If you count your days until the end of your leave and when you will get back to work, you will not feel disturbed to take a little vacation at home with your children.  On the contrary, if you have some satisfaction from your work and think that your partners in your work is your best friend in the world, you might tend to going back to work after your leave time is over.  Do not feel surprised if your feeling about your career has changed since your child was born.  Your priority might be very different from the time before you have a baby.

What would you feel to be a staying-home-mother? Believe it or not, there are people in this world that still underestimate the staying-home-mothers.  They do not consider the commitment and the energy spent to take care the children.  If you choose to stay home, you need to encourage yourself that becoming a stay-home-mother is a noble work in the world.

So, what is your choice?
