BOSTON – A Massachusetts-based company is revolutionizing the way marijuana is consumed, creating a delivery device based on the idea of the Keurig single-serving coffee-machine.
CannaKorp, a Stoneham start-up aimed at improving medical marijuana technology, is in the process of developing and marketing "CannaCloud," a pod-based vaporizer system similar in design to Keurig coffee pods, also known as K-cups. David Manly, a former executive at Keurig and the current CEO of CannaKorp said that he hopes the CannaCloud will be "as transformative in medical marijuana as pods were in coffee."
PROVIDENCE – Providence College's Division I swim team is no stranger to success with a top-five finish in this year's Big East Conference. But last Saturday the Friars took home a different kind of trophy: the "SAA College Cup," given to the team that raised the most money for the Swim Across America (SAA) open-water mile, an annual fundraiser dedicated to fighting cancer.
The New England event was co-sponsored by Woman & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island and Swim Across America. SAA is a national non-profit that partners with cancer research institutes in hosting benefit swims. Since 1987, SAA has raised over $40 million. Olympic swimmers, Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin among them, have participated in SAA swims.
