Mobile phones bad for male fertility – study

Men who keep a mobile phone in their trouser pocket could be inadvertently damaging their chances of becoming a father, according to a new study led by the University of Exeter.

A new study led by the University of Exeter has revealed that men who keep a mobile phone in their trouser pocket could be inadvertently damaging their chances of becoming a father.

Previous research has suggested that Radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) emitted by the devices can have a detrimental effect on male fertility. Most of the global adult population own mobile phones, and around 14% of couples in high and middle income countries have difficulty conceiving.

A team led by Dr Fiona Mathews, of Biosciences at the University of Exeter, conducted a systematic review of the findings from ten studies, including 1,492 samples, with the aim of clarifying the potential role of this environmental exposure.

Participants in the studies were from fertility clinics and research centres, and sperm quality was measured in three different ways: motility (the ability of sperm to move properly towards an egg), viability (the proportion of sperm that were alive) and concentration (the number of sperm per unit of semen).

In control groups, 50-85% of sperm have normal movement. The researchers found this proportion fell by an average of 8 percentage points when there was exposure to mobile phones. Similar effects were seen for sperm viability. The effects on sperm concentration were less clear.

Dr Mathews said: “Given the enormous scale of mobile phone use around the world, the potential role of this environmental exposure needs to be clarified. This study strongly suggests that being exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from carrying mobiles in trouser pockets negatively affects sperm quality. This could be particularly important for men already on the borderline of infertility, and further research is required to determine the full clinical implications for the general population.”

The results were consistent across in vitro studies conducted under controlled conditions and observational in vivo studies conducted on men in the general population.

How does Bitcoin work?

I've mentioned, it's not essential to understand exactly how Bitcoin works to use it. That said, knowledge is power and I personally find it fascinating.

Bitcoin is actually built on a much broader technological advance known as Blockchain.

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain technology is a super-secure way of publicly verifying the transfer of information between two parties.

When a transfer takes place, a block is added to the chain chronologically. Each block contains sets of data relating to the transaction, and also relates to the previous block with a cryptographically generated signature. It's this signature that locks (or chains) all the blocks together, so that a block can never be modified once it's created.

Seen as a kind of public ledger, a Blockchain is stored in the cloud across thousands of computers around the world. The mix of the chain being decentralised and blocks bound together makes Blockchain technology practically unhackable.

Bitcoin was the first and most popular implementation of Blockchain. When you send some Bitcoin to another person, the transaction will be verified by lots of computers in the Bitcoin Blockchain and create a new block.

But in fact any form of transfer that requires validation can utilise the technology, anything from licensing music, sharing medical records to buying a house.

Ethereum is another kind of cryptocurrency that also goes beyond money to handle ‘smart contracts'. This means a legal document such as the transfer of Title Deeds can be quickly validated for a property sale, for example.

Even the British government are being encouraged to adopt Blockchain.

Whilst it's still early days, some experts predict that Blockchain technology will lead us into a “trust” revolution, following on from the industrial and informational revolutions.

Where do Bitcoins come from?

New Bitcoin is created as a result of ‘mining', which is conveniently also the way that every Bitcoin transaction is processed and verified.

For every transaction, mining computers must solve very complex mathematical problems and generate a 64 digit solution. Once solved, one block is added to the Bitcoin chain and the miner earns a certain amount of new Bitcoin as a reward.

The Bitcoin Blockchain is programmed to only ever release 21 million Bitcoins. Once they've all been mined no more will ever be created.

This is estimated to happen by July 2020. At time of writing there are over 16.7 million in existence

Is It Illegal to Use the Tor Network?

It was around the time people operating on the Internet black market Silk Road started getting arrested that the Tor network landed on the casual observer's radar. It sounded great -- an anonymous way to surf the Internet. But it was already tied up with criminal behavior.

This left many people wondering if using Tor is even legal. And while it may not get you into trouble, it may also not be as good at keeping you out of it as previously believed.

Online, but Out of Sight

For anyone who wants to browse the web anonymously (like citizens under a dictatorship, journalists trying to keep a story secret, undercover police officers, and, yes, criminals), Tor allows you to do just that. From Lifehacker's excellent breakdown:

Tor is short for The Onion Router (thus the logo) and was initially a worldwide network of servers developed with the U.S. Navy that enabled people to browse the internet anonymously. Now, it's a non-profit organization whose main purpose is the research and development of online privacy tools.

The Tor network disguises your identity by moving your traffic across different Tor servers, and encrypting that traffic so it isn't traced back to you. Anyone who tries would see traffic coming from random nodes on the Tor network, rather than your computer.

You May Need an At TORney

Just using Tor to browse the Internet is not illegal. The download is free, and hiding your IP address and browsing history is not, in and of itself, illegal. However, many of those that use Tor use it specifically for anonymity because they are doing something illegal. And, as recent arrests have proven, it may not be perfect when it comes to hiding a user's identity.

Not only may Tor not keep you hidden from law enforcement, using Tor may actually draw their attention: the NSA and FBI have specifically targeted Tor users in the past. And your ISP may not be thrilled about it either: Comcast has threatened to cut service to customers using Tor.

So feel free to hop on Tor and bask in the freedom of (semi-)anonymous Internet browsing. Just know that if you're breaking the law online, Tor is a lot more like a ski mask than an invisibility cloak

Cryptocurrency v/s Bitcoins

Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative.”

How do people use bitcoins?

It is an electronic or digital currency that works on a peer-to-peer basis. This means that it is decentralised and has no central authority controlling it. Like currency notes, it can be sent from one person to another, but without a central bank or the government attempting to track it. The system depends on cryptography to control the creation of the currency. While no one authority controls the generation of the coins or tracks them, the system itself is designed in such a way that the network maintains a foolproof system of the record of every transaction as well as tracking issuance of the currency.

The beauty of this cryptocurrency is that if you receive a bitcoin from another, you can be as sure of the payment as you would on receiving physical currency notes, with the same anonymity ascribed to it. No one need know if your neighbour spent 2 bitcoins this morning to buy gold, but the transaction is recorded for posterity.

This anonymity is lacking in other forms of digital payment such as online banking or e-wallets.

Who can you send bitcoins to?

You can send bitcoins digitally to anyone who has a bitcoin address anywhere in the globe. One person could have multiple addresses for different purposes – personal, business and the like.

Receivers can get to spend them within minutes of receiving the coins. Once given away, like currency, there is no getting them back, unless the receiver decides to give them to you. A bitcoin is not printed currency but is a non-repudiable record of every transaction that it has been through. All this is part of a huge ledger called the blockchain.

Where do you get bitcoins?

Bitcoins are available in bitcoin exchanges. You could also purchase bitcoins from other users. A bitcoin exchange traded fund could be another source in the near future. You can become a bitcoin miner by investing in software and hardware. More the power of the hardware that helps with encryption technology, higher the probability of your earning bitcoins.

How is a new bitcoin generated?

A bitcoin is generated when an entity, i.e. a person or a business, uses software power to solve a mathematical puzzle that makes the blockchain more secure. The difficulty level of solving the problem is high enough to ensure that it takes time to do it.

Beware of tall promises

Even if you become a bitcoin miner, there is no guarantee that you would be able to mine a certain number of bitcoins. Any scheme related to bitcoins promising a fixed return is likely a tall promise best avoided.

Can you own 50 million bitcoins in, say, 2 years from now?

Unlike currency notes that can be printed by a central bank for an unlimited value, there are only so many bitcoins that can be produced. The blockchain system is designed such that at its maximum only 21 million bitcoins can be produced and in circulation. The number cannot exceed this cap. As of February, about 15.2 million bitcoins have been mined (or produced). That is about 75% of the total cap already in circulation.

Current estimates are that the last bitcoin that will ever be mined will come into existence in 2040.

What is the value of one bitcoin today?

One bitcoin is worth roughly about $1,200 now. An early investor in Snapchat has been quoted on the Web as saying that by 2030, the value could be as high as $500,000. One of the reasons that could prompt you to buy a bitcoin today is not so much to use it for payment online but as an investment.

Urban legend has it that someone who was doing a thesis on cryptocurrency bought 5,000 bitcoins for $27 in 2009. Do the math for the value today!

And unlike traditional currency that is inflationary in nature, the bitcoin is a deflationary currency. In other words, if there are only so many bitcoins in use, and the demand for those rises, the value of a bitcoin would, logically, rise.

How does the payment system work?

When you send a bitcoin to a receiver, the transaction is included in the blockchain and broadcast to the network. The blockchain ensures that the same bitcoin is not spent twice by the same user. A computer network validates the transaction using algorithms so that the transaction becomes unalterable. Once validated, the transaction is added to others to create a block of data for the ledger.
