IDF to treat shell shock with cannabi

Israel News : Jerusalem Post Internet Edition The IDF will soon begin using cannabis to treat
soldiers suffering from combat stress, the military
said Wednesday.

An army statement said the military medical corps and
the Hebrew University of Jerusalem would begin
treating victims of post-traumatic stress - commonly
known as shell shock - with THC, the active ingredient
in the cannabis plant. It said the treatment would
begin on an experimental basis.

"The use of THC as part of the treatment for
post-traumatic stress disorder was approved by
military and civilian committees relevant to the
subject," the statement said.

An IDF spokesman said treatment would be given to both
conscript soldiers and reservists.
=====================
jay: So... if this is sucessfull, the next logical
step is to administer it as a preventative, before the
stress producing events occur. And for humaniartian
reasons, it should be distributed to the Palastienes,
who also could use stress prevention.
With both sides under treatment, the only conflicts
will occur over who gets the last bag of Doritos.

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
