Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:56:46 GMT

By HALELUYA HADERO and ANNE D’INNOCENZIO (AP Business Writers)NEW YORK (AP) — Haven’t ordered any of your holiday gifts yet?Well, you might find solace in discovering some of America’s biggest retailers are working to increase their shipping speeds to please shoppers expecting faster and faster deliveries.Walmart, Target and Amazon are all-in on the shipping wars, a move retail experts say will help them maintain a competitive edge against low-cost Chinese retailers Shein and Temu. For Walmart and Target, their investments are also aimed at narrowing the gap in delivery speed with Amazon, which has set the standard for fast shipping and remains the king of speed.Amazon packages have been arriving at the doors of Prime customers even faster this year under the company’s new distribution model, which divides the country into eight regions and predominantly ships items from warehouses in those areas.

When Is CBG A Better Choice Than CBD Oil?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:56:46 GMT

View the original article about CBG  at Real Tested CBD.CBD has the most clout in the hemp industry, but searches for “CBD alternatives” have increased. More customers in the hemp community are ready to try a variety of cannabinoids. Although delta-8 products are popular with those who want a psychedelic experience, there are also non-psychoactive hemp cannabinoids that are gaining ground on social media.For instance, more people are asking their local hemp shops whether they have any “CBG near me.” As we’ve covered in previous posts, CBG is a significant cannabinoid that’s the precursor to both CBD and THC. Since CBG-A transforms to other cannabinoids, only about 1 percent of CBG is in most hemp strains. However, now that demand forCBG products is going up, more hemp manufacturers are putting out CBG-rich oils, capsules, and tinctures.But why would anyone buy a CBG extract rather than CBD? Are there any significant differences between CBG vs. CBD that customers should consider?Why ...

Bay Area storms could bring less intensity but more consistency Tuesday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:56:46 GMT

The rain wasn’t expected to let up the day after storms throughout the Bay Area were powerful enough to potentially help knock out power for nearly 20,000 people, though forecasters expected less intense — albeit more consistent precipitation on Tuesday.In an early morning bulletin, the National Weather Service called the rain showers it expects on Tuesday “lingering,” as low-intensity rain was predicted to hang around for much of Tuesday for the entirety of the Bay Area.The 24-hour forecast between 4 a.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday predicted as much as one inch of rain in San Francisco and Half Moon Bay. Inland totals weren’t expected to be quite as high, with forecasts tapping out at one-half of an inch in San Jose and one-quarter of an inch in Concord and Livermore. Chances of thunderstorms, which could carry more precipitation than meteorologists can predict, were marginal according to the NWS.Commuters should still take heed of warnings in regard to we...
