Title: EM.news/quick
[cleaning out the e-mail/urls, as the
electronetwork.org
website will be moving to a new server at the same
host,
to limit liability by keeping the site in the
commercial
sector, so that if this project raises a bit of a
ruckus,
the webhost will not be embroiled in similar
problematics.
as things are a bit, well, very very slow these days,
the
site will be moved, and slowly it will try to change
into
a better designed site. but in the mean-time, a rather
sad
site might be there, as softwares are limited for
designing
a new graphical site at the moment. so it may be a
simple,
text based site which will experiment with the
structure
outlined in Phase1 of the EM .EDU Initiative (EEI)
which
was recently posted, and is linked to from the main
page.
so, an update, and hopefully upon learning a bit of
PHP
scripting and how to hookup a mySQL database, the
links
and databases will become possiblities for growing
content.
thanks for EEI comments from those who shared ideas.

1- {this one is quite difficult to sort out, but i think it
is
that Finland has a standard for EMF/radiation exposures
which
is higher if not the highest of most countries, or the .us
in
particular, which i think doulbed one of its rates (may
have
been EMFs or nuclear exposure rates, seemingly out of
nowhere)}.
RADIATION SCARE OVER MOBILES [This Is London article]
Radiation from mobile phones causes changes in the brain which
could pose risks to health, an authoritative two-year study has
concluded.

2-[essay on electronica mostly focused on the .us being the odd 1
out]
"...More generally, what some critics of electronic music
don't (yet) understand or acknowledge is that the absence of words
provides the opportunity for narratives that transcend the boundaries
of language to be built in much the same way that narratives are built
in jazz and classical music. Trance, house and jungle, for example,
all use builds, instrumentation and sampling to greater and lesser
degrees to create powerful transporting narratives. In this way,
dancers in such disparate locales as the Moroccan desert, the beach in
Tel Aviv, Ibiza, the Ministry of Sound in London and Giant in Los
Angeles are all able to connect to the same track. Language and image
are no longer barriers; the only musical language that matters is the
language of tension, release and dynamism implicit in the construction
of electronic music. "
