Yes, you read that headline correctly, you can now study marijuana at Ohio’s newest “weed college” which capitalizes on the growing medical marijuana industry.
The school is known as “Cleveland Cannabis College”, and yes, it’s real.
According to CleveScene.com:
“Cleveland Cannabis College is offering prospective retailers, hopeful horticulturists and seasoned physicians a shot at the experience they’ll need to lead Ohio into the medical marijuana vanguard. To hear CEO Richard Pine tell it, our state is poised to revolutionize how medical marijuana is grown, tested, regulated and sold.”
The hope with CCC is that the school will provide students with the ability to apply for job opportunities that the medical marijuana industry will eventually create in Ohio,
Toke on that.
Birds are truly amazing animals. For a long time, us humans have watched birds as they’ve ruled the skies, wishing that we, too, could someday possess the powers of flight for ourselves. How exhilarating would it be to glide through the air without having to worry about coming back down? To be able to float around in the sky for hours and forget all the worries of the surface world?

It would be fantastic, and birds are interesting for plenty more reasons than their flight capabilities. There are more than 9,000 recorded different species of birds in the world, and as we explore more uncharted regions that number only continues to rise. Birds can be found anywhere, inhabiting the snowy tundras of Antarctica as well as Africa’s barren deserts.
Wherever you go in the world, you’ll find different species of birds that vary in highly unique ways from each other. Some birds, like parrots, have the ability to talk, while owls and hawks make for excellent predators with their enhanced senses and arsenal of natural weapons. Birds are just plain cool looking, too, especially when they perform particularly exciting acrobatic feats.

Some birds, like cardinals, are beautiful and have coloration in their feathers that’s rarely found elsewhere in nature. Some birds are more suited to the water than the sky, swans swimming about gracefully while baby ducklings wobble about in a hilarious manner. Other birds call neither the skies nor the water home, such as the extinct dodo bird or the flamingo.

And have you ever seen a kiwi? Those things are crazy! They have this long, thin beak, sort of like a mosquito’s tail, but their bodies are round and odd-looking. And they’re called kiwis. How much more do you want out of your animal? Birds are also important to keeping natural cycles in balance by feeding on insects or other, larger critters to keep the ground-dwelling population free of pests.

Up next we’ll take a look at some cool facts about birds you definitely haven’t heard before.
In the world of all-female music groups, not many are as empowered as Girls’ Generation. Girls’ Generation is a South Korean girl group formed in 2007 by a company called S.M. entertainment. In the years since their formation, GG has gained acclaim in both Asia and around the world for its upbeat sound and playful lyricism.
Soompi
The group is comprised of Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. While North American readers might not know who any of these people are, each has a solid solo career in her own right.

She’s also won awards including Best Female Artist at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and was ranked as the most popular idol of 2016 by Gallup Korea.

While K-Pop is a huge genre, Taeyeon has managed to carve out her own success with her immensely powerful voice, earning her the title of best K-pop vocalist by officials in Korea’s music industry back in October of 2015.
