ISA Scientific Announces Completion of Corporate Rebrand to Ananda Scientific
In Preparation for Leadership in Global CBD Sales
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 21, 2016— ISA Scientific, a Delaware (USA) corporation, whose activities are centered on making non-psychoactive, safe and effective therapeutic products based on cannabis plant chemistry, has announced completion of its full rebrand and is now operating under a new name, ANANDA Scientific.
The re-branding to ANANDA Scientific was done to capitalize on the global cannabidiol (CBD) market, which is anticipated to reach $2.1 billion in consumer sales by 2020, according to the Hemp Business Journal.
“This rebrand was done to improve corporate positioning and brand development. It will help advance the company’s goals in an emerging and rapidly growing marketplace,” according to Mark J. Rosenfeld, M.S., Ph.D., ANANDA Scientific’s Chief Executive Officer. “ANANDA Scientific, with our partners at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, LDS Technologies in Israel and others elsewhere, is continuing its progression to bringing effective CBD products to market”.
Poised for Global Growth by New Products and New Partnerships
In February, 2015, ANANDA signed exclusive worldwide licensing and collaboration agreements with Yissum Research Development Company Ltd. (Yissum), the technology transfer company of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; Hadasit Ltd. (Hadasit), the technology transfer company of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Jerusalem; and the Kennedy Trust for Rheumatology Research (KIR), Oxford University, United Kingdom. These agreements allow ANANDA Scientific to use its proprietary, non-psychoactive CBD preparations to exclusively treat medical conditions of great public health importance, like diabetes, inflammatory diseases (like arthritis, atherosclerosis and ulcerative colitis) and cardiovascular disorders.
In March 2015, ANANDA Scientific formalized its collaboration with LDS Technologies, an Israeli biotechnology company, to resolve a crucial unmet need for CBD, getting CBD taken by mouth efficiently into the bloodstream and then to sites in the body where it has its effects. This unmet need has now been successfully resolved and the prospect of consistent dosing and predictable therapeutic effects can now become reality for the first time.
The Company will now be entering into refereed human clinical trials with its Israeli partners. These are otherwise lacking for CBD, but essential for achieving regulatory approval and acceptance by healthcare professionals.

William D. Reid’s book shares memories of his farm life, experience in some local communities
FIRTH, Idaho – Of all of his family members, William D. Reid is the only one who cared about carrying on the writing tradition that their grandmother started. Writing has been a lifelong interest of his and the thing he cared about most in his whole life. He showcases his literary writing skills in “William’s Book of Poems and Short Stories,” (published by AuthorHouse) a book that was published in December of 2011.
A few years after he had been out of high school, Reid had started to learn how to write poetry. He learned how to write while helping around the family farm. While growing up on the farm, they had a prime example to follow because his grandmother, Agnes Just Reid, a well-known local author had written and published a book about her mother’s life along with three volumes of poetry. The memories of his life on the farm, the country way of life as well as his experience in some local communities nearby are reflected in the poems and short stories featured in this book.
An excerpt from the poem “A Cowboys Prayer” reads:
So I’m glad they settled in this great land
Where four generations have grown up,
And still live on the homestead farm
Which I think is what my Great GrandFather planned.
“William’s Book of Poems and Short Stories” tells stories the way they actually happened. Reid hopes readers will learn something in this book as he shares his thoughts with them through his poems and short stories.

VidAngel Seeks Emergency Stay from 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Following District Court's Denial of Stay Request
(Provo, UT—December 29, 2016) VidAngel, the market-leading entertainment platform empowering users to filter language, nudity, violence, and other content from movies and TV shows, is engaged in a high-profile legal battle with Disney, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Lucasfilm. These Hollywood studios have taken legal action in an effort to eviscerate the 2005 Family Movie Act and prevent VidAngel from lawfully empowering parents and families to stream filtered content on modern devices.
Today, Judge Andre Birotte Jr. of the United States District Court for the Central District of California denied VidAngel’s request for a stay of enforcement of a preliminary injunction order he recently issued against the service. CEO Neal Harmon has the following statement:
“VidAngel has received the District Court’s denial of our stay request and is complying. For the time being, movies will no longer be available for filtering. Because judges rarely grant a stay of their own orders, we fully expected the Court to rule this way, and had already commenced an expedited appeal of the preliminary injunction. VidAngel is now requesting an emergency stay of the injunction from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.”
VidAngel encourages all of its supporters to go SaveFiltering.com, a grassroots campaign started by a family in Florida that has more than 100,000 active participants.
