Inhaling cannabis without the smoke
Vaporizing cannabis leaves instead of burning them can release the drug's active ingredient just as effectively — while avoiding the harmful toxins inhaled through smoking the drug, according to a pilot study.
The result could be good news for those who choose to use marijuana medicinally.

Still On The Run - Portfolio
Self made designer, I've been practicing design in an intensive way since 2006 and have already been involved in many project such as webdesign, flyers, posters, cd design or visual identity for a number of organisations. Co-founder of the Beneath A Steel Sky nation, I got myself surrounded by a network of skilled people dedicated to design, DJ-ing, drum&bass and nu-roots music production... This "pack" of talents allowed me an extensive number of collaborations and opened the gates to a perpetual renewing of my creative field of expression. Beneath the threats of a steel sky, I'm now evolving among the twists and curves of a urban decay graphic style. My commitment and need for expression have set graphic design at the heart of my current priorities and nothing on earth might change my mind.
I'am available for commissions, collaborations or whatever could feed my creative hunger. Thanx for your support, love and interest! All the best for 2007!
Talk to you soon!

Honda to debut hydrogen fuel-cell car in 2008
Honda yesterday laid out its future green motoring technology strategy for the world's media with announcements and demonstrations in Washington DC.
The only piece of mainstream kit in the near future will be a new hybrid car, to go on sale in the USA within two years priced below the current Honda Civic hybrid variant, which goes for $25,000. The Civic hybrid hasn't achieved sales to match Toyota's groundbreaking Prius: Honda believes this may be because it doesn't look visibly different to the ordinary Civic. The theory is that green motorists like to be seen to be green, and to that end the new hybrid will have unique styling.

Asphalt-Munching Bacteria Discovered
Vehicles may crowd the asphalt of downtown Los Angeles freeways above ground, but below ground hundreds of newly discovered bacteria thrive by munching on heavy oil and natural asphalt.
Trapped in the Rancho La Brea tar pits 28,000 years ago, the bacteria are equipped with special enzymes that can break down petroleum, environmental scientists at the University of California, Riverside report in a recent issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
