View the original article about One Of Hemp’s Most Secretive Cannabinoids- CBL at Real Tested CBD.CBL doesn’t get as much love as CBD or delta-8 THC.

At this point, the only people who may know about CBL are already deeply immersed in the hemp or legal cannabis industry.While CBL may not be a significant force in today’s hemp market, it often appears in full-spectrum CBD oils. Customers with a keen interest in the many fascinating properties of hemp may want to take a closer look at the chemistry of CBL.What Do We Know About CBL?Interestingly, scientists first discovered cannabicyclol (CBL) in the mid-20th century.

Q Marsden is Not Alone

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

Q Marsden is Not Alone: Floridian R&B artist Q Marsden, son of renowned dancehall musician Steven Marsden, has released new single and video “Not Alone.”According to the press release, “Shortly after announcing the release date of his debut album, Soul,PRESENT, Q is back with the visual for “NOT ALONE“. In the Hannah Bon directed music video, Q stars as various iterations of himself – all embodying different pieces of himself to form one. The new song and it’s accompanying video displays Q’s love for experimentation with different art forms and genres… Soul,PRESENT is a culmination of his growth and evolution as an artist over time.”The song is a pop-soul banger that beautifully balances on the line between tradition and contemporary R&B. The video, meanwhile, has mad Janet Jackson vibes as he dances up to the camera. Elsewhere, he’s somehow become part of an old sofa. It’s a thing of beauty — chec...

See the spiral in the night sky that ‘created an internet storm’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Viewers of the northern lights got a surprise mixed in with the green bands of light dancing in the Alaska skies: A blue spiral appeared amid the aurora borealis for a few minutes.The cause of Saturday morning’s display was excess fuel that had been released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California about three hours before the spiral appeared.Sometimes rockets have fuel that needs to be jettisoned, said space physicist Don Hampton, a research associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.“When they do that at high altitudes, that fuel turns into ice,” he said. “And if it happens to be in the sunlight, when you’re in the darkness on the ground, you can see it as a sort of big cloud, and sometimes it’s swirly.”While it’s not a common sight, Hampton said he’s seen such occurrences about three times.The appearance of the swirl was caught in time-lapse on the Geophysical Institute’s all-sky camera and shared...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

A massive housing project in the hills southwest of Pittsburg got the City Council’s nod of approval despite some opposition from residents, conservationists and environmentalists.Monday’s 4-0 vote – with Councilman Juan Banales recusing himself – came after the Planning Commission agreed in mid-February not to recommend the project and developer Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders appealed that decision.Two decades in the making, the Faria/Southwest Hills Annexation Project proposes to build 1,500 homes mostly clustered in the valleys in the southwest Pittsburg hills, just out of the city’s limits and overlooking the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.This week’s approvals included a green light for the housing project’s master plan, an amendment to the city’s general plan and pre-zoning designations, and a development agreement with Faria Land Investors, a Seeno/Discovery Builders associate.“We’ve negotiated this over many years,” Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders told t...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

Washington-Fremont 8, American 6Washington-Fremont remained one of the hottest teams in Bay Area baseball as it extended its winning streak to five games with a victory over American. Washington (10-5) had ended last week with a 6-2 victory over WCAL powerhouse St. Francis. That winning run seemed to be in jeopardy after the American (5-10) scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning following one run by Washington. Freshman Micah Boo singled in one run with the bases loaded, junior Calen Morgan walked in another, Carson Rice singled in one and Kent Abe drove in two on a line drive into center. That 5-1 lead lasted until the top of the third, when Washington scored seven runs to take a lead it would never relinquish. Sophomore Ezekiel Venn Porter went 1 for 2, scored two runs, and had two RBIs. Senior Noah Morton had two hits and one RBI, and senior Narayan Venkataramana batted 2 for 4 and drove in one run.Washington pitcher Maxwell Paek starred in relief as he threw 3.2 scor...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

Johnson & Johnson beat first-quarter expectations, as growth in cancer treatments and the health care giant’s home market helped counter another revenue hit from the strong dollar.The health care giant booked a $68 million loss on a one-time charge in the quarter related to its baby powder, and revenue grew more than 5% to $24.75 billion, which was better than anticipated. Sales in pharmaceuticals, the company’s largest business, grew 4% in the quarter. The bulk of that revenue came from immunology and cancer treatments. Those includes two long-standing top sellers, the blood cancer treatment Darzalex and Stelara, which treats psoriasis and other inflammatory disorders.Aside from prescription drugs, Johnson & Johnson also sells medical devices, including products for knee and hip replacements. Sales in that segment grew more than 7% to $7.5 billion in the quarter. Chief Financial Officer Joe Wolk said surgical procedures “seem to have hit much more of a steady cadence”...

Bank of America profits grow 15%, avoids industry crisis

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:57 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America said its profits grew 15% last quarter, the latest of the big banks to do exceptionally well this earnings season as investors and consumers flock to Wall Street for safety after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The nation’s second-largest bank by assets posted a profit of $8.2 billion, up from $7.1 billion in the same period a year earlier. On a per-share basis, BofA earnings rose to 94 cents from 80 cents. The results beat analysts’ expectations. Like its major competitors, BofA has benefitted from wealthy clients, businesses and other customers running to the bank as a place of safety after last month’s bank failures. The nation’s biggest banks are seen as having an implicit government backstop, due to their “too big to fail” status among the country’s financial institutions. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank added customers in its business and consumer banking businesses. While deposits ac...
