It's Not Dead

BLWBCK061 | Release Date : June 6, 2015
Limited to 66 copies
C40 / 6 panels J-CARD

FOUDRE! is a new experimental project created by Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête, FareWell Poetry, Le Reveil des Tropiques), Romain Barbot (Saåad) & Grégory Buffier (Saåad, Autrenoir, Mondkopf). This, their debut cassette, compiles their first meetings and rehearsals. The resulting "Magnum Chaos", almost 40 minutes of total improvisation, is like the centre of a black-hole, a total, almost oppressive collapsing of  the trio's energies. Experimental, noise, drone, dark-ambient, electronic, lo-fi, chiaroscuro, these varying aesthetics converge to create a darkened room full of flickering stars and fading shadows. "Magnum Chaos" is too dense and too rich to be considered a demo tape. It is, rather, a sincere recording of the birth of a project. A recording where unedited events and audio clips are there to document and remind that for all the hours of fine tuned arrangements there must also be the pure expressions of three musicians in a free environment.

Music improvised & recorded by Frédéric D. Oberland, Grégory Buffier & Romain Barbot / Oct.14 – Toulouse, France. (Dozen Bows & Concorde39 studios)
Mixed by Frédéric D. Oberland / Apr.15 – Paris, France. (Magnum Diva studio)
Mastered by James Plotkin / May.15

Medical marijuana has been called a miracle drug - rumoured to cure an array of ailments, from cramps to cancer. But, what does the science say? To find out Wendy Zukerman speaks to Prof. Laurie Mather, Prof. David Penington, Prof. Herbert Kleber and Prof. Tamas Horvath.

Across the U.S., more than 20 states have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes and four have also permitted recreational use of the drug. Colorado, for example, first allowed the use of medical marijuana in 2000, and with Colorado Amendment 64 in 2012, legalized recreational use of cannabis as well. Despite the growing prevalence of these laws, conducting research on the potential impacts of the drug—both in terms of medical applications and health effects—continues to be a challenge for scientists. One barrier is that the federal government classifies marijuana as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, meaning it has “no currently acceptable medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse.”
 
Still, federal and state governments (states sometimes need additional federal approval) do fund and conduct research into the potential effects and uses of cannabis. For instance, in 2014 the Colorado State Board of Health approved studies seeking certain applications for medical marijuana, such as treating pediatric epilepsy and inflammatory bowel disease in young adults. And in addition to understanding whether or not marijuana could be an effective form of treatment for pediatric diseases, researchers also want to understand the health ramifications for recreational users—especially when it comes to teenagers and their brain development.

A roundtable of researchers joins Ira Flatow to discuss the challenges of conducting research on the effects of marijuana as well as what we do and don’t know about the patterns and effects of recreational use of the drug amongst teens.

Once, there was the ordinary incandescent light bulb. It shone brightly, but wasted much of the energy put into it as heat. Then came the compact fluorescent. And as costs have dropped, consumers have increasingly been switching to light-emitting diode (LED) technology for many lighting applications, in an ongoing search for a more efficient bulb. Now, in work published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers report that nanophotonic devices may be able to breathe new life into old incandescent technology. Marin Soljačić and Ognjen Ilic, two authors of the study, explain how they’ve been able to “recycle” some of the incandescent bulb’s wasted heat and re-emit it as visible light, boosting efficiency.

For the Lowly Incandescent Bulb, a Ray of Hope
