Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 16:24:27 GMT
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent issue, impacting an estimated 30 million men in the United States according to the Urology Care Foundation. While medical interventions and lifestyle modifications are commonly used to address ED, an increasing number of individuals are seeking alternatives and more natural remedies to improve their sexual health. One such natural compound is cannabidiol (CBD).What is CBD Oil?CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that can be found in both cannabis and hemp plants. CBD is one of over 120 compounds found in these plants, known as cannabinoids. Many people use CBD for things like stress relief, pain management and improved sleep.Unlike delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another well-known cannabinoid, CBD does not induce intoxicating effects or a “high.” Instead, it communicates with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors present throughout the body that regulates various physiological processes like our moods,...7 incredible Bay Area things to do this weekend, June 9-11

By SETH BORENSTEIN and ISABELLA O’MALLEY | Associated PressAn early bird El Nino has officially formed, likely to be strong, warp weather worldwide and give an already warming Earth an extra kick of natural heat, meteorologists announced.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Thursday issued an El Nino advisory, announcing the arrival of the climatic condition. It may not quite be like the others.It formed a month or two earlier than most El Ninos do, which “gives it room to grow,” and there’s a 56% chance it will be considered strong and a 25% chance it reaches supersized levels, said climate scientist Michelle L’Heureux, head of NOAA’s El Nino/La Nina forecast office.“If this El Nino tips into the largest class of events … it will be the shortest recurrence time in the historical record,” said Kim Cobb, a climate scientist at Brown University. Such a short gap between El Ninos leaves communities with less time to recover from damages to infrastructure, agriculture, an...Quick Cook: Blueberry Ginger Bran Muffins start your morning deliciously

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 16:24:27 GMT
SANTA CLARA — The first competition 49ers quarterback Trey Lance needed to win during this offseason wasn’t against Sam Darnold or Brock Purdy, but against his own body.He had to rid himself of the funky mechanics that developed in the year-plus he spent overcompensating for an injured index finger on his throwing hand, an injury he sustained during the preseason of his rookie year in 2021.He had to shorten his throwing motion to rediscover a quicker release he had worked hard to master during his time at North Dakota State, where he set an NCAA record for most passing attempts (287) without an interception during the 2019 season.And he had to recover from a fractured fibula and ligament damage in his right ankle, which grew irritated after surgery last September and, three months later, required a second operation to remove protective hardware and free the ankle to begin healing on its own.After clearing all these obstacles, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft has found himself ...Imagining a Disneyland-style monorail for the Santa Cruz Mountains: Roadshow
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 16:24:27 GMT
Q: I still envision a Disneyland-like elevated monorail through the Santa Cruz Mountains from wherever the most parking is available, or a light rail station, like in Los Gatos or Campbell, right off 17, to Santa Cruz Boardwalk parking lots. Great for commuters and day trippers. Stations at Scotts Valley and maybe near the summit, too. What a beautiful ride among the trees.M. LahannA: I can imagine taking a beautiful ride such as you describe through the Santa Cruz Mountains. And it’s fun to dream. When various light rail ideas have been looked at before, though not this route, and not monorail, there were not enough projected riders in off-peak hours to warrant the cost of the projects.Q: I see signs on Interstate 680 about lanes being closed soon. What are they doing?AnonymousA: Caltrans will close southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton between Sunol Boulevard and Koopman Road from 10 p.m, Friday, June 9 until 4 a.m., Monday, June 12.The closure is being done so that a port...Air India passengers welcomed home at SFO after flight diverted to Russia

Ryan Hunter-Reay will return to the IndyCar Series as Conor Daly’s replacement at Ed Carpenter Racing, the team announced Thursday. Daly was let go a day earlier in what team owner Carpenter called one of the most difficult decisions of his tenure running the organization. He cited performance issues for the split with Daly, who was ranked 20th in the standings with a season-best finish of eighth in the Indianapolis 500. Hunter-Reay was out of IndyCar last season but returned this year for the Indy 500 and finished 11th. He will make his debut in the No. 20 Chevrolet next weekend at Road America.“I was surprised when I got the call from Ed. He described how frustrated he was that his team has not been able to realize its potential despite their efforts, investments, as well as technical and personnel changes over the past few years and asked for my help,” Hunter-Reay said. “Ed and I are very close friends and have been for a long time.
