“Distilling” The Difference — CBD Distillate vs CBD Isolate

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:58:34 GMT

There’s no such thing as “just CBD oil.” Every CBD extract on today’s market goes through a slightly different refining process. For this reason, manufacturers have developed labels to describe the concentration of their hemp products.In previous posts, Real Tested CBD has gone through the unique features of full-spectrum and broad-spectrum goods. However, you may have also run across “distillate” and “isolate” during your CBD shopping experience. While these words rhyme, they don’t refer to the same product. To make an informed purchase, customers should have a basic understanding of the distinctions between these extracts.CBD Distillate vs. Isolate — What’s The Key Feature That Separates These Extracts?Without getting too complex, distillate is simply a less-refined version of CBD isolate. In fact, manufacturers have to put CBD isolate through a distillation process before using additional purification techniques.This doesn’t mean CBD distillate is “dirty,” it just means that ther...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:58:34 GMT

SAN JOSE — There will be more eyes than usual on San Jose State’s football team for its home opener.A week after trailing No. 6 USC by just a touchdown at halftime in an eventual season-opening 56-28 loss in L.A., the Spartans will face another ranked opponent in No. 16 Oregon State. If that’s not enough, the game will be broadcast on CBS — San Jose State’s first regular-season game on the prestigious network in four decades — as part of a rare college football Sunday doubleheader.SJSU head coach Brent Brennan said it’s another challenge for his young team.“The difficulty is that you’re playing two really good teams right off the bat and you don’t know who you are as a football team yet,” Brennan said. “We’re still getting new players acclimated and into the fold and adjusted to the scheme. We’re playing some really young players and some guys in some different spots.”“I also think it’s an awesome opportunity … This group that’s coming...

Gordon Biersch’s Dan Gordon being honored by History San Jose

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:58:34 GMT

History Park in San Jose is set to be transformed into a beer garden for one night this fall as Gordon Biersch co-founder Dan Gordon is honored at History San Jose’s annual fundraiser in October.Now, maybe beer isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of San Jose, but History San Jose CEO Bill Schroh says brewing is a key part of the valley’s story.“People forget that before we were known as Silicon Valley we were known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight, one of the premier farming regions in the world. Two of the crops that were grown were hops and barley, which we all know go into the brewing of beer,” Schroh said, noting that there once were at least six major breweries in the valley.Gordon, Schroh said, “not only keeps this tradition alive but also is an important contributor to the gastronomic and brewing arts in San Jose.”Today, the county’s biggest brewer is Gordon Biersch, which Gordon co-founded with Dean Biersch ...

49ers’ Purdy, Steelers’ Pickett draw high praise from analysts ahead of opening showdown

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:58:34 GMT

Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason are of the belief that Brock Purdy can take the extra step and lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2023.But Purdy and his surgically repaired right elbow will have a big test on Sept. 10 when the 49ers visit the Pittsburgh Steelers for their NFL season opener.Purdy’s rise was one of the NFL’s biggest storylines last season as he went from the final pick in the NFL Draft – seventh round, No. 262 overall – to a surprise star over the last six regular season games and two playoff games before being injured against the Philadelphia Eagles.The out-of-nowhere tale helped to obscure the performance of the first of nine quarterbacks taken in the draft. Kenny Pickett was taken No. 20 in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, went 7-5 as a starter and by most accounts has blossomed in the leadup to Year 2 as the successor to Ben Roethlisberger.Pickett, who also went to college at Pittsburgh, passed for 2,404 yards, completing 245 of 389 passes with seven tou...

The Nobel Foundation reversed its decision to invite ambassadors from authoritarian states involved in the war in Ukraine to its annual awards ceremony following condemnation from Kyiv and other European capitals.In a statement on Saturday, the Swedish trust acknowledged that its policy to invite ambassadors from all countries “in accordance with previous practice” had “provoked strong reactions.”In the face of growing condemnation, including from the government of Sweden, the organizers will “choose to repeat last year’s exception to regular practice — that is, to not invite the ambassadors of Russia, Belarus and Iran to the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm.” However, it added, their invitation to a parallel ceremony in Oslo still stands.Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said this week that he was “greatly surprised” to see Moscow’s envoy invited to the awards, and that he would not have made the same decision.

US Republican senator praises UK Labour’s ‘Reaganesque’ economic plans

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:58:34 GMT

The U.K.’s Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has won plaudits from an unlikely source for taking a tough line on taxation after she pledged that the Labour Party would not introduce a wealth tax if it forms a government following the next British election.U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, said in a post on social media on Friday that America’s Democratic Party should “wake up and take a cue” from Reeves.“She is for wealth creation. She feels u don’t tax ur way out [of economic problems]. U grow ur way out,” he wrote, adding that the British opposition’s policies are “very Reaganesque.”In an interview with the Telegraph last weekend, Reeves ruled out introducing a levy on accumulated wealth or owned properties despite calls from some on the left of the party to back more radical solutions to the cost of living crisis.She also confirmed a decision to shelve plans to raise the top rate of personal income tax from ...

(CNN) — In what has become an unexpected annual tradition for a coastal city in Maine, gigantic inflatable ducks are once again floating in Belfast Harbor, and for the third year running, the mystery of how they got there has yet to be solved.The massive yellow ducks first appeared in the summer of 2021, when a single yellow duck with the word “joy” written on it appeared over the harbor for a few weeks, according to Scott Smith, operations manager for the Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce.The duck’s debut drew attention from astonished locals and visitors, and even garnered national attention, Smith told CNN.“It was great just to have something fun, charming and simple that really brought a lot of happy feelings and positive energy,” he said.Last October, the original duck was replaced by an even larger version with the words “greater joy” written across its front, photos from the Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce showed.This year, an inflatable family of three has waddled into ...
