Broncos fans could have two chances to spy Taylor Swift in October

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:40:06 GMT

The hottest thing in football right now is actually pop music.Since singer Taylor Swift first made an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 24, her suspected relationship with tight end Travis Kelce has been the most talked about storyline in the NFL. She reappeared in box seats over the weekend with several famous friends such as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for Sunday Night Football when the Chiefs took on the New York Jets.The Swift effect is in full force, sending Kelce jersey sales skyrocketing and attracting more women to the game. Sunday Night Football viewership among girls ages 12 to 17 was up significantly (53%), according to NBC, as was viewership among women ages 18 to 24 (up 24%) and women older than 35 (up 34%).A Taylor Swift appearance could bolster the Denver Broncos’ so-far lackluster season. While it’s unclear if the reigning queen of pop music will attend any more NFL games, local Broncos fans and Swifties will have two chances to possibly catch her...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:40:06 GMT

Denver-based Spruce Power Holding Corp., which converts commercial trucks into hybrid vehicles, exaggerated revenue projections and misled investors as part of its public offering nearly three years ago, according to charges filed against the company last week by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Spruce Power, previously known as XL Fleet before changing its name last November, went public in December 2020 through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company or SPAC.XL Fleet, in its public filings ahead of the merger, claimed it had a 12-month pipeline of $220 million in sales and projected $1.4 billion in sales three years out, estimates the SEC called “misleading.”The SEC alleged the future sale estimates consisted almost entirely of speculative opportunities, including sales to potential customers the company had little or no contact with, customers XL Fleet couldn’t legally sell its products to and stale prospects. The SEC also said the company...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:40:06 GMT

Read the original article about the Terpene Limone here.Although cannabinoids are endlessly fascinating, they aren’t the only compounds in the hemp plant. Indeed, if it weren’t for chemicals known as “terpenes,” hemp strains wouldn’t have any distinctive aromas. While terpenes aren’t unique to cannabis, they play a significant role in determining a strain’s effects and taste.If you’ve purchased high-quality hemp flowers, vape carts, or CBD prerolls, you’ve probably run across the terpene “limonene” in lab reports. Along with myrcene and beta-caryophyllene, limonene is considered a “primary terpene” because it appears in many hemp strains.So, what does a high limonene concentration mean? How does this terpene affect a hemp product, and is it the best choice for your CBD goals?How Does Limonene Influence CBD Hemp Flowers?You don’t have to be a chemistry professor to guess what limonene smells like. True to its name, limonene is the primary terpene in citrus peels. Aside from lemons, y...

IDRISS D is a Lunatic 2: Drum & bass artist IDRISS D has been DJing since 1998 when he was living in Algeria, playing with K7 decks and a Pitch Amatoriale Control.“My first record release was out in 2007, and I was putting all my focus and passion into music since day 1,” he says. “I remember I used to play tracks from Larry Levan and Funky K7 when others were playing DJ Bobo. At the time it was a passion but when I started to get releases and shows which actually paid me (the first was in 2002) then I realised this could be something I can actually eat and live off.”Today, IDRISS D says that he essentially plays electronic music, in venues of all sizes, “as well as minimal and electronica, with drum and bass influence,” he says. “Sometimes it’s trippy and sometimes it’s more than big banger track.”His latest release is Lunatic 2.“I started to work on the release in March 2023,” he says. “Lunatic 2 is the fo...

Delivery delays impact availability of new COVID-19 boosters at Bay Area pharmacies

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:40:06 GMT

Three weeks after the federal government approved the latest COVID-19 vaccine, the rollout has been rocky.Even as the number of cases climb, delayed vaccine deliveries are being reported by CVS, Walgreens, Kaiser, long-term care facilities and other providers, causing consumers to wait for appointments.“There are supply issues,” said Los Altos geriatric specialist Dr. Mehrdad Ayati. “We have a backorder situation.”For patients under age 12, the vaccine is not available yet. Manufacturers and distributors got out the adult vaccines first, CDC director Mandy Cohen told reporters last week. Pediatric vaccines require different dose sizes and packaging.The CDC recommended on Sept. 12 that everyone ages 6 months and older get an updated vaccine, after the shots were cleared by the Food and Drug Administration.The reformulated shot, developed by Pfizer and Moderna, can better help fight off infection because it is designed to protect against the variant XBB.1.5, a recent desce...

By Jocelyn Solis-Moreira | CNNMarianne had a phone call she would never forget. Her daughter’s preschool called and asked her to pick up her child because she had lice.As someone who had never dealt with lice growing up and whose older daughter had sailed through childhood without the problem either, she was not too sure she’d find. (Marianne didn’t want to use her last name to protect her family’s privacy.)At first glance, 4-year-old Anna looked fine — save for the occasional itch. It wasn’t until one of the school staff parted her hair that Marianne noticed the pesky critters nested in her daughter’s hair. For the next few weeks, Marianne tried all kinds of treatments, only for the lice to keep coming back.“I couldn’t emotionally deal with my disgust at the entire situation,” she said. “I wanted to burn my house down.”Any parent dealing with head lice can probably relate to this situation. These parasitic insects burrow deeply to the root of hair and suck the blood from people’s s...
