CBD Celebrity Scams Strike Again — Reba McEntire Is Fighting Back Against Nature’s One CBD Gummies Just because some celebrities openly promote CBD supplements doesn’t mean everyone in Hollywood is “hot for hemp.” Unfortunately, since CBD has so much “cachet” in the entertainment industry, scammers have taken advantage of this cannabinoid’s popularity. There have been dozens of fake celebrity endorsements for CBD brands and products.Recently, a company called Nature’s One CBD published dozens of ads claiming country star Reba McEntire endorsed their products. However, according to official reports, McEntire has never associated her name with CBD oils, capsules, or gummies. Until Reba McEntire says otherwise, customers should avoid any hemp products that seem to have her seal of approval.Reba McEntire Hits Back Against Hemp CBD ScammersIn a recent Twitter post, McEntire warned her fanbase to be cautious of any products that appeared to have her endorsement. The singer specifically called out “CBD gummies” as supplements to watch out for. McEntire says she will only announce partne...

Dalby on Jacob Banks

Dalby on Jacob Banks Dalby on Jacob Banks: Atlanta-based indie-pop artist Dalby told us about her Jacob Banks experience. Dalby: My favorite concert that I’ve ever been to has got to be Jacob Banks’s Lies About the War tour at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta. Jacob Banks is an artist that my dad and I have grown to love and listen to for the past six years or so. His voice is incredible and his songs are so full of hurt and love which really made my dad and I want to see him live. We bought tickets to his show before it was postponed to a much later date, which we were bummed about but we were excited to go when the time finally came.The show ended up being in October of 2022 and it was truly a surreal concert experience. Everybody was so kind and everybody was feeling the music on such a deep level. Jacob sounded even better than he does on recording, which is crazy to me, and his voice is so unique and soulful. The energy was immaculate and the band sounded great, and I think he is an artist that shou...

The Return of Giorgio’s Disco

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 13:17:52 GMT

The Return of Giorgio’s Disco Nightlife really is back and for those of us who like to paint the town, May is so abundant, the FOMO is getting very real. This weekend marks drag’s biggest gathering, a major music festival and the return of club legend Bryan Rabin’s much-missed Giorgio’s dance party. Back for a limited engagement at Grandmaster Recorders (the former recording studio where everyone from David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix to  Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age have laid down hits) the dance floor decadence should be full tilt.  Formerly at the now-shuttered Standard Hotel’s Mmhmmm nightclub, the disco wonderland was inspired by Giorgio Moroder, the famed Italian producer responsible for the synthy/sexy vibe and escapism of ’70s and ’80s club and movie music. With the recent release of Spinning Gold (about Casablanca Records) and a new Donna Summer doc coming, this hot spot’s return is well-timed, but then again, the kind glamour and groove that makes Rabin’s clubs hits (Cherry, hi...

The Linda Lindas Conquered L.A., then Coachella. Next– the World!  The Linda Lindas Conquered L.A., then Coachella: If Coachella 2023’s lineup made a lot of music fans feel like they were out of touch in terms of what “the kids are listening to these days,” it also offered an easy way to discover precisely that via a user-friendly YouTube livestream of the festival. Sure, people of all ages still endured the expansive music fest, but many who might not have otherwise opened their minds to the new music lineup were able to do so from the comfort of their couches. L.A.’s youthful viral sensations the Linda Lindas surely won over their share of new fans, young and old, last month.During their broadcasted Saturday, April 15 set, they encountered persistent sound problems (the mics repeatedly went out). But the technical difficulties led the girls – guitarist Bela Salazar (18), bassist Eloise Wong (15), guitarist Lucia de la Garza (16) and drummer Mila de la Garza (12) — to make the show an interactive exchange with fans that was inspiring and exh...

Saratoga awards $5,400 in grants for community events Saratoga’s city council awarded $5,400 in grants to four community events at its May 3 meeting, but one councilmember questioned the compliance of one group’s application.The funds, which will go toward putting on the Dragon Boat Festival, the Blossom Festival, the Mural Mural on the Wall painting event and a community art contest, come out of an $8,000 budget for community event grants.The city started awarding these grants in 2013 as a way to incentivize volunteer-run events that enrich the community and celebrate Saratoga.Councilmember Chuck Page said the council should not have awarded $500 to a Girl Scout troop to make and pass out paper flowers at the Blossom Festival, as the troop isn’t running the event.’“We’re giving money for a group to participate in an event,” Page said. “I’m actually surprised that other groups haven’t picked up on this and asked for money to have a booth at another person’s event.”The Blossom Festival is an annual event run by the Saratoga ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a stunning breakthrough on fusion energy

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a stunning breakthrough on fusion energy By Bill Weir | CNN Chief Climate CorrespondentAfter generations of trying to produce the power of a star on Earth, a successful nuclear fusion ignition happened in the middle of a December night and was over in 20-billionths of a second.That’s more than 100 billion times shorter than the Wright Brothers’ first, 12-second flight — but a brief, shining moment that could have even bigger implications for humanity.But while the science teams at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are still buzzing over their Wright-Brothers moment, we only remember that name because their third flight stayed in the sky for 39 minutes.RELATED: How Livermore scientists produced fusion breakthrough by recreating the power of the sunThe nuclear fusion reaction must be repeated, extended and scaled before the comparison sticks. And the race is on to make it work.“But that’s what makes it so exciting, right?” lead scientist Tammy Ma told CNN. “The potential is so great f...

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 13:17:52 GMT

Ukraine says it has retaken territory near embattled eastern city of Bakhmut KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian military commanders said Friday that their troops had recaptured more territory from Russian forces at the scene of the war’s longest and bloodiest battle, for the eastern city of Bakhmut, but it wasn’t clear if this marked the start of Kyiv’s long-expected counteroffensive. Russia’s Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said Kyiv had stepped up attacks north of the region.The 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) of territory retaken by Ukrainian forces south of Bakhmut this week represented a significant gain and will protect an important supply chain, according to commanders of Ukraine’s 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, a special forces unit that led the attack.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he met with the top military commanders Friday, noting that he heard a report from Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi whose forces “stopped the enemy and even pushed him back in some directions.”In a statement on Telegram on Friday, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar con...
