COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., (CRWENEWSWIRE) -06/28/10- Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS), a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, reports an important milestone for the continued validation of medical cannabis, as UK-based GW Pharmaceuticals (http://gwpharm.com/) receives $15 million milestone payment from Bayer. This payment to GW is based on the UK Government’s approval of the “First Prescription Cannabis Medicine”, GW Pharmaceuticals Sativex(R), an “Oromucosal Spray” tincture for the treatment of spasticity due to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Analysts at Piper Jaffray forecast that peak sales could reach $180 million in Europe and Canada combined. Presently, GW has a market capitalization of over $260 million.

Richard Cowan, Cannabis Science CFO noted, “Bayer’s $15 million ‘milestone payment’ to GW clearly puts the world on notice that pharmaceutical cannabis is now ‘mainstream’. Previously, the US FDA granted GW a Phase III IND for Sativex, and a Phase IIb/III trial for cancer pain is currently ongoing. GW has also received an 18 million dollar licensing fee from Otsuka for the US rights, and they also received millions more from licensing fees from Almiral of Spain for the European rights outside of the UK. The licensees also pay for the work necessary for regulatory approval. Clearly, Big Pharma recognizes the explosive growth this industry is experiencing and does not want to be left behind. Obviously, licensing of products and territories — which is common for new biotech companies — suggests another important way Cannabis Science can move forward with its financing objectives.”

Dr. Robert Melamede, PhD., Cannabis Science President and CEO, said, “The UK Government’s approval of Sativex(R) is long overdue. MS patients in the UK and around the world have long used cannabis to get relief from pain and spasticity. We hope, given this recognition of the medical value of cannabis, that the UK government will stop arresting patients who use the plant to deal with their pain and suffering, whatever their medical problems may be. Also, we think this approval should lead to faster regulatory action in the future for medicines derived from whole plant extracts from cannabis. Given the millennia of use that proves the safety of cannabis, and its widespread medical use by millions of people for a great variety of problems today, we hope that the approval of Sativex(R) will lead to the fast-tracking of other whole cannabis extracts by the regulatory authorities.”

The card science (cards of destiny) that we are talking about here can be useful to you, whether you are just a housewife, an employee, or whether you run a large enterprise or corporation. In this lesson I will give you a basic understanding of how this amazing system works.

To give you some background about this science, I first need to say that this is the knowledge that our common deck of cards was created for. Until just recently no one really knew that our common deck of cards had any significance. This information was kept secret for thousands of years by a special group known as The Order of the Magi. They were instructed to keep this information secret while the earth went through some very dark ages, spiritually speaking. This science was finally brought to light for the first time in 1894 when the first book was published (The Mystic Test Book). And even to this day, most people have not heard about it. This means that you can be among some of the first people to take advantage of this ‘most sacred science.’

In ancient times, man discovered after paying careful attention, that each year was comprised of approximately 365 days. They also noticed that there were five ‘stars’ in the sky that did not twinkle. Another thing they noticed was that these five special stars moved differently than the other stars in the sky. They seemed to have much more movement against the background of other stars. They deemed these special bodies ‘Gods’ because of their uniqueness. They also took note that this number five was connected to their five fingers on each hand and the five holes in their face. They then combined these five ‘Gods’ with the Sun and Moon to make a total of seven. They noticed this corresponded to the seven holes found in their heads. And using these seven ‘Gods’ they assigned one to each day in seven day cycles that we now call a week. They also noticed that a year was comprised of 52 of these weeks and that when you took the numbers 5 and 2 and added them together, you got another seven. All was well. And today we find our seven days of the week each named after one of these ancient ‘Gods’ that we call planets.

At some point a deck of cards was created to symbolize this earth cycle that we call a year. 52 cards were created for the weeks with an additional card, what we now call the Joker, that represented that left over day and that we get when we subtract 364 from 365.25. The 52 main cards each governed a week in the year and there were four suits to symbolize the four seasons. The 13 cards in each suit corresponded to the 13 lunar cycles each year (13 full Moons!). The cards were predominantly either red for day or black for night. And each card was assigned a ‘spot value’ from one (Ace) to thirteen (King). When every card in the deck had their spot values added together, it came to exactly 365.25, which included the Joker’s 1.25. Later these same ancient mystics discovered that every day of the year was governed by one of the 53 symbols. A formula became apparent as to how each day’s card was assigned. Now they had a symbol for each day of the year and they soon realized that the symbol itself told much about any individuals born on that day (birth astrology). At the same time that astrology was being refined, the science of the cards of destiny also held fascination.

Now we have what is sometimes called the ‘little book’ that is the calendar of the earth in symbolic form. And we have discovered that much more can be divined from this little book. Among the things we know now are:
1.The personality and personal fate of each birthday of the year (birthday astrology).
2.What unique gifts and abilities each birthday of the year bestows upon people born then.
3.When important life events will transpire for any individual.
4.What each year and month holds for every individual based upon their birthday.
5.How each birthday tends to behave in the area of relationship, marriage and sex.
6.How any two birthdays combine to form a relationship and exactly what their relationship will be like.
7.And much much more…

What we have found here is truly the ‘Book of Destiny’ or ‘Book of Fate’. Call it what you like, it has information that is changing people’s lives.

Solar cooker, solar race car, solar battery charger, solar radio, and solar generator are some of the good project ideas that can be an interesting science fair project.

A good topic for a science fair project is about the solar energy. It is also an interesting and popular topic because solar energy can be of great importance in our everyday activities. Utilizing solar energy implies a great aid in our depleting fossil energy needs. Developing technology using solar energy is very helpful in promoting an unpolluted environment. Here are some solar energy science fair project ideas that can be further develop as a promising energy alternative.

Solar cooker

Solar cookers are one of the most simple and popular science fair projects. It is a simple demonstration of using the sun’s heat to cook food. It is a good science fair project because it can be easily built and is very effective in conserving electricity. Most solar cookers have the same idea with that of a solar oven. You can create any dimension of size and shape of solar cookers to add an interesting look on the project.

Solar race car

Building a solar race car is also a good and fun science fair project. It is just like creating a home made toy car and learning the concepts of solar energy at the same time. To build a solar race car one can be creative in approaching a design. The energy source mechanism will show how a solar energy panel can produce power to make the race car run. It is a fun project for boys and students who love playing race cars.

Solar battery charger

Solar motor charger demonstrates how solar power can directly be used. With the help of solar panels, the sun’s heat will be transformed into electrical heat which can be used in charging batteries. It is a simple demonstration on the efficiency of light energy in providing alternative power source.

Solar radio

This application of solar energy will show how useful this energy source can be in places where no electricity is available. Solar radio can be created by simply turning an ordinary radio that works with electricity into a radio that uses the solar panel charged DC. Simply understand the radio’s electrical wiring and work your way in attaching the solar panel as the radio’s power source.

Solar generator

Using solar generator has been a popular choice for an environment friendly home. You could make a study in using solar generator as an alternate energy source for your house’s electricity. Your study can include finding the average numbers of sunny days needed to run your solar generator for your home’s energy consumption.

You can pick any from these good science fair project ideas to enhance your planning skills and learn something new. Always remember to have fun while learning.

Ants are a great insect to use as a test subject in a biology science fair project. They are easy to find and they are easy to handle. In this sample project students will be manipulating the amount of light that ants are exposed to in order to see if light impacts how fast ants dig.

Hypothesis

In this science fair project the hypothesis is that ants dig faster when they are in the dark. The dependent variable in this hypothesis is the rate at which ants dig and the independent variable is the amount of light that the ant is exposed to during their digging session. It is important to note that a non-venomous ant species be used, such as a sugar ant.

Supplies

This science fair project will need an ant-farm set-up. Students can purchase an ant farm or they can develop their own using a glass container filled 75 percent of the way with native soil. Students will also need a test population of ants. Ants can be purchased from a science store or collected out on the schools playground. You can set traps for ants using cut apples. Just set the apple on the ground and wait until ants cover it. Then pick up the apple pieces, with the ants and place them in your container.

Experiment

The control experiment will provide the ants with a natural light source. Students may want to use a video camera with a digital timer display to monitor the ants digging progress.

The test experiment will involve several test groups. The first test group will be exposed to no light at all, an infrared camera will be used to monitor their digging progress. The second test group will be exposed to dim light. The final test group will be exposed to bright artificial light.

Data Collection and Analysis

The data that will be collected will be measurements of digging per time period. The students will want to determine how long of a tunnel is dug in a minute, in an hour or in a day for each lighting situation. To determine the rate of digging the student will create a ratio of millimeters dug per minute.

The analysis of this data will be fairly easy to complete. The students will just need to determine which lighting set-up produced the fastest rate of digging, or the highest number of millimeters per second (on average). To prove the hypothesis could be true students will need to find a trend where ants dig faster in darker conditions then they do in lighter conditions. If this is not observed then the hypothesis will be proven to be false.

More than twenty scientists are known to have individually spearheaded projects toward invention of a working light bulb from the early 1800s through Thomas Alva Edisons success of the late 1870s. Sir Humphry Davy, William Robert Grove, Frederik de Moleyns, W.E. Staite, John Daper, Edward G. Shepard, Heinrich Gobel, C. de Chagny, John T. Way, Alexander de Lodyguine, Joseph Wilson Swan and others could collectively be deemed the Fathers of the Light Bulb, although Edisons efforts resulted in the finally accepted working version. In the pre-Civil War era, the race to create electric light was similar to todays enthusiastic pursuit of Internet technologies. One inventor did not stand alone in lighting concept then, just as one inventor is not solely responsible for the creation of web applications now. But, the reason for Edisons proliferation as the documented inventor of the light bulb is not attributable entirely to his creation, so much as to his scientific process.

Inventing More than Just a Light Bulb
All of the first lighting researchers knew that electricity could be harnessed to create a reliable and convenient light source, but none had combined the right techniques and applications to make history. While others worked diligently to create captured light, Edison stopped to first evaluate their work toward the invention and develop a plan for invention. He was likely most successful and renowned due to this organized approach to the inventive process which garnered more clear and active results.

In chasing electric light, Edison utilized his own creative project management method which included a skilled team, a formal and managed research laboratory, financing, tools and materials in a two-pronged effort of both evaluation of the failures of others and integration of his teams innovation. This approach that Edison created in his quest for a working light bulb is now commonly referred to as research and development, the critical first phase in any major scientific invention process. Edison did not just design a lamp, but drew a road map for inventors to follow in effective creation of new technologies for years to come.

In the active research phase, Edisons lighting research in the 1870s was based upon Sir Humphry Davys proof that heating of thin strips of metal with electric currents created white heat. The white heat illuminated with such verve that Davy realized bigger applications from this harnessing of electricity would follow. He also determined that platinum was key to the lighting process, as the only metal capable of producing the white glow.

Using Davys foundation, Edison initially patented a platinum-based lamp then forged ahead into working on a commercially feasible system that would allow multiple lights to illuminate at once. He saw this as the future of lighting technology, thus was not responsible for merely the invention of a light bulb as he was the creator of larger lighting systems working toward illumination of every aspect of our daily lives. He not only perfected the bulb itself, but also presented the Edison Jumbo generator, the Edison main and feeder and the parallel distribution system. His lack of tunnel vision in approaching development of the optimum light bulb opened many doors toward wider applicability of electric lighting. During his continued efforts toward the bigger picture, his modern light bulb was perfected.

Improvements Upon Advancements of Others
Edisons success and thus attribution of the invention to him was derived from his invention of lamps which included three primary elements other inventors had failed to balance:
Effective incandescence, meaning an efficient and prolonged light source

A higher vacuum than other inventors utilized, critical toward operation and longevity of the lamp

A high resistance lamp mixing a centralized power distribution source with economic feasibility as key to entire lighting systems, wider use of individual lamps, and commercial marketability

Foremost in Edisons work with light and toward effective incandescence was his invention of an optimum filament within the lamp. Filaments provide resistance to the passage of electric currents, sort of harnessing the electricity for illumination. He discovered carbonized cotton thread clamped to platinum wires exceeded the performance of earlier filaments which burned out very quickly. Edisons filament burned continuously for 40 hours. This moved electric lighting a step forward toward commercial viability.

His original working design which burned for several days was modified a number of times then started rolling out through manufacturing mass production. Overall, the creation of Edisons final version was successful through clear evaluation of prior inventors successes and utilization of their advancements as the baseline for innovation in development of his own bulb. As his bulb was being manufactured, marketed, and utilized in buildings throughout the world, Edisons lab continued forward in attempting improvement of his original design. In the 1880s, Edison even discovered that bamboo-derivative filaments burned for up to 1200 hours, a huge improvement over the originally devised 40 hours.

Modern Bulbs and Processes
Now referred to as incandescent light bulbs, todays versions have not vastly changed from Thomas Edisons originals. Modern bulbs utilize tungsten filaments and various gases for heating to higher temperatures. These subtle upgrades have resulted in higher efficiency and brighter illumination, as well as wider applicability for varied use.

Innovation within lighting is no longer about improving the incandescent bulb. Now is a time of developing bulbs for different uses, longer life, greater efficiency, and less impact upon the environment, still using Edisons approach to organized scientific research and development. Some types of modern bulbs are:
Fluorescents glass tubes utilizing mercury vapor and argon gas and phosphor internal coating create higher efficiency, lower heat light

Mercury vapor lamps a version of the fluorescent, utilizing a quartz arc tube containing mercury vapor at high pressure within a protective glass bulb

Neon glass tubes filled with neon gas mixed to create color variations, used for signage

Metal halide Similar in construction to the mercury vapor lamps but create a more natural color balance, used for lighting of large outdoor venues such as stadiums and highways

High pressure sodium similar to mercury vapor lamps but the arc tube is constructed of aluminum oxide in lieu of quartz and contains sodium and mercury solids versus mercury vapor

LED lights very small bulbs that fit directly into the electrical circuit, powered by movement of electrons in a diode

New light-emitting diode bulbs (LEDs) produce very bright light on very little electric energy, last up to 60 years, are 12 times more efficient than tungsten bulbs and three times more efficient than fluorescents. Unlike other versions of efficient bulbs, LEDs light instantaneously rather than requiring a flicker phase into full illumination. Even more encouraging is that they do not contain or use mercury, which is very toxic to the environment in disposal of light bulbs. Household-use LEDs are expected to start replacing regular incandescent bulbs in 2011 as the most major advancement to lighting science since the work of Edison, himself.

As lighting technology moves into a new realm of higher efficiency and environmental sustainability, Edisons original bulb components and shape will soon become distant memory. A bulb the size of a human thumbnail will light spaces as brightly as an older incandescent the size of an entire adult hand, but with greater efficiency, less damage to the environment, and for an entire human lifetime.

Thomas Edison would likely be pleased regarding all of these improvements. However, possibly most important from the invention of his light bulb is his structured research process through which all major technologies since have been founded. It is no wonder that a light bulb turning on over ones head is the commonly accepted artistic illustration of a great idea. After all, in crafting the science of the light bulb, Thomas Edison actually created the science of innovation.
