Being too close to a cell tower will actually diminish reception performance...
Not sure about reception but I was told that the output power of my phone was directly related to the distance to the cell in charge. Farther it was, more power was required.

That explained the strong interference I suffered with my phone (10++ years ago) near my monitor at the office but almost unnoticeable when I was at home (here, the cell's antenna was in line of sight, just ONE block away).

A toy traffic cone has been found in the lung of a man 40 years after he inhaled it.

It was originally thought that the unnamed 47-year-old man from Preston might have cancer.

He was referred to a respiratory clinic after complaining of coughing up yellow mucus and feeling unwell for over a year.

Medics initially thought the patient, who had also recently suffered pneumonia and had been a long-term smoker, had a tumour after an x-ray showed a mass in a lung.
More smoker news.
