It's Not Your Imagination According to a NYT Upshot analysis of Bureau of Transportation Statistics data, airlines strategically add extra time to their flight schedules, effectively "padding" their flight durations. This leads to a higher percentage of flights arriving on time or early even if the actual flight time hasn't significantly changed. This improves airline on-time performance metrics. Jammed Thanksgiving Flights Push U.S. Air Travel to Record The Transportation Security Administration said it screened about 3.09 million people on Sunday, the peak of the busy Thanksgiving travel period. The previous record set in July was 3.01 million travelers. The TSA reports that their 10 busiest days were recorded in 2024. Stowaway caught after getting aboard Delta flight from New York City to Paris The woman, a U.S. resident, boarded a Delta flight from JFK to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and was discovered midair. She had been hiding out in the lavs and the flight attendants noticed the strange behavior. The TSA said the woman passed through a body scanner at JFK, evaded the document and ID check portion, had her bags scanned, proceeded to the gate, and snuck onto the flight. The Delta Paris Stowaway Incident Keeps Getting Stranger - The stowaway was a 57-year-old woman living in the Philadelphia area. She's a Russian national who holds a US Green Card. She requested asylum in Paris, which was rejected. The woman was placed on a return flight but pulled off after a disruptive outburst. Is Delta the Official Airline of Stowaways? - This was not the only stowaway incident involving Delta Air Lines...

There's a lot of BUZZ about CBD, Delta-9 THC Hemp Derived Gummies, Delta-8, & THCV ‘Diet Weed'. Not sure about you, but I could use a better education. I'm aware there are many wellness benefits and many laws regarding all these substances. I'm also aware there are many holistic benefits and since ‘wellness' is a top New Years resolution I decided we could all use some CBD education. Joining me on The Debbie Nigro Show is Primabee CBD Co-Founder Stephen Crane. Stephen is well versed and Primabee is a socially and environmentally responsible company that makes Broad -Spectrum and CBD isolate products that are USA Grown/ Non-GMO, Third Party Lab Tested and Legal in all 50 States. They're also big on education as evidenced by the many blogs on their website Primabee.com. For those reasons I asked them to sponsor this educational show today. If you like anything you learn about today, they're offering 20% off orders over $50 using discount code HERESTHEBUZZ at checkout . Delivered to your door. Always free shipping . So listen in and get educated. ****** It's my ‘wellness' day of the week where the conversation leans to all things wellness. I invited Stephen Crain, Co-Founder of Primabee CBD to join me because he's really well versed in this category. Primabee CBD makes broad spectrum and CBD isolate products that are USA-grown, non-GMO, third party lab tested and legal in all 50 states. I love the legal part. And am fascinated what they can now legally sell online to anyone in the US. Stephen lives out in California. People on the West Coast and people on the East Coast seem to look at these substances differently. As in people out West seem far more aware of these kind of products and more interested in them and more educated about their wellness benefits. Stephen agrees but points out the products are becoming more common and more available in New England and down to the middle Atlantic states and in states like New York where cannabis retail stores just opened and in Connecticut which just opened up their first retail cannabis stores last week. Stephen feels interest is going to turn around a lot in the East. I've gone through all the blogs on the Primabee website and what I really like about their CBD education is that they do speak to how these substances affect different people differently. There have been reports of success from everything with helping with seasonal effective disorder to to weight loss to staying calm. There seem to be all kinds of medicinal things that they can do well for you. The big product that I'm aware Primabee is recently getting a huge reaction to is called PrimaBuzz which the company can sell legally online anywhere in the U.S. I was like you guys sure this is legal? LOL Stephen confimed that PrimaBuzz is a hemp derived Delta 9 THC gummy that's now available for non dispensary purchase. What is this and what does it do I asked ? Stephen explained, Delta 9 THC is the same compound that's found in marijuana but it is derived from industrial hemp and in a much lower concentration than if you were going to go buy it at the dispensary. You still get a light boost free buzz from it, said Stephen, adding but it's not like you're you're going to get zapped out and sent to Mars or anything like that. It's a very pleasant whole body feeling. It's my opinion that most people are a little confused about the difference between Delta 9 THC and Delta 8 THC. These are buzzwords and names that are out there that not many people understand. So what's the difference? Stephen explains, "Delta 8 is an artificially synthesized tetrahydrocannabinol. It's made in the lab after extracting THC from hemp or cannabis and then it's molecularly modified at the lab so it's a not a natural product really, though it has grown in popularity. If you're looking for plant based wellness and looking for a natural organic type feeling then you would you would go for Delta 9. This is all about wellness, so you want to have natural products, not something that's built in a lab like some like some pharmaceutical product.” For education purposes here's how Primabee explains the difference between Delta 8 and Delta 9 on their website blog on the topic. What is Delta-9 THC? Delta 9's full scientific name is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and it is one of several vital cannabinoids that can be found in cannabis plants. Delta 9 THC is very intoxicating due to how particular receptors in our body react to its use. THC is the primary psychoactive ingredient, triggering a reaction at our CB1 receptor. Delta 9 is reported to have a high affinity for the CB1 receptor. What is Delta-8 THC? Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol is a psychotropic compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-8 THC is one of approximately 100 cannabinoids generated naturally by the cannabis plant. However, it is not present in substantial concentrations. As a result, high levels of delta-8 THC are often produced from cannabidiol obtained from hemp. Though delta-8 THC is very similar to delta-9 THC, its molecular structure is slightly different, making it far less potent. One interesting fact about delta-8 researchers discovered that it had great antiemetic qualities and decreased vomiting in children with cancer, which was especially beneficial because of its lower intoxication levels. How do Delta-9 THC and Delta-8 THC compare? While these compounds interact similarly with the body, they are still different. Each influences numerous biological activities such as sleep, mood, hunger, cognitive function, and muscle regeneration via the endocannabinoid system. However, because they are somewhat molecularly different, their effects on the body and how they make you feel vary. The molecular structures of delta-8 THC and delta-9 THC differ just slightly. The double bonds of delta-8 THC are on the eighth carbon atom, while the double bonds of delta-9 THC are on the ninth. Hence the names delta-8 and delta-9 THC. The location of the double bond on the carbon chain dictates how it interacts with CB1 receptors in the central nervous system. When I was first involved getting to understanding the cannabis and CBD industries I had gone around to a lot of convenience stores I noticed were selling CBD and Delta 8 and most had them in little locked cages or boxes right at the front of the counter. I would ask the store owners, if people were buying them and they all always said yes people are buying Delta 8. Delta 8. Delta 8. At that time Delta 8 was illegal in New York and I was getting that answer and was a little shocked. Obviously cannabis and CBD laws keep changing and evolving, and I am aware there are still states where these substances are not legal. The guys at Primabee were clear they were now selling Delta 9 THC ‘legally' across the country online because it's federally permitted if the product is hemp derived and the THC level is less than 0.3% of the overall product weight. Stephen confirmed that the 2018 Farm Bill allowed that any product derived from industrial grown hemp with a THC level of 0.3% or less dry weight is federally legal. The Primabee blogs I was reading describe how Delta 9 and Delta 8 compare. Again it was clear that the molecular structures of Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC differ 'just very slightly'. The double bonds of Delta 8 THC are on the eighth carbon atom, and then the double bonds of the Delta 9 THC are on the ninth. Thats how they got their names. One is legal and one is not. PrimaBuzz gummies - are formulated for adults and seniors seeking, as these guys say 'an edible solution to create a booze free buzz' which I imagine might be a story of interest in 'dry January'. Also they seem to adress and help with sleep, anxiety, pain. Research has shown that these substances can affect certain biological functions like mood, hunger, cognitive function, muscle regeneration all via the endocannabinoid system I've noticed people who love these things really love them, and they have the most amazing things to say about them, but I've also noticed not everybody goes crazy for this stuff because they're nervous they don't understand, and it's because everybody's body is different and so everybody's reaction to these things is different. I'm one of those people who has a stupid reaction to everything so I'm a big baby and always very hesitant to try something new, but I'm aware many folks are getting solid results. I'm also aware that legally a company is not allowed to say these things help in any official way - you can just infer. Stephen says, “Well there are a lot of studies out there and the science is catching up with the cannabinoids since it became legal in 2018. There a lot of studies out there showing that the cannabinoids can help from everything from reyes syndrome that causes seizures iin children, to helping you sleep, to helping you have less soreness after exercise, all kinds of things like that. We try to be very science-based and really orient towards what the current studies are saying. “ Primabee blogs discuss topics like how to use CBD as a natural sleep aid, Is Delta 9 THC better than Delta 8, what's the difference between CBD and Delta etc. I was curious about whats called THCV that's now being called "Diet Weed". Stephen says, "Yes that's a particular THC that has some appetite suppressive properties, and is non-psychoactive and the studies also show that it has a slight energizing property. So it's kind of the opposite of THC9 delta 9 seems the studies show it has a kind of a slight stimulant property to it and appetite suppressive property to it." Then there's the success that Primabee is having with their CBD Dog Chews. Every time I've seen a dog owner who's said my the dog's a little crazy – I say have you thought about CBD? Just because with my little education and from what I've heard back from many who've given it to their pets, it seems pet owners are raving about it. Stephen points out, "Studies show that it helps with separation anxiety just general hyper activity and things like that. As we're talking I'm sitting here with my hyper Irish doodle at my feet totally just chilled out. We went for a long run this morning and he's just kind of relaxing right now waiting for the next adventure.” Primabee has CBD specifically for pets .They have sports cream which I personally use often whenever I have a sports related pain – and they have a recovery cream. Stephen who does Jujitsu says he's sore all the time, so just before he goes there, he rubs a little bit of CBD sports cream on his shoulder or something that hurts and afterwards he uses the CBD recovery cream which is also a cooling cream so it gives a cooling sensation and then the CBD soaks in and does it magic. My takeaway on all these products? Each person has to figure out for themselves if it's good for them or can benefit them in some amazing way. Many people turn to the internet to purchase these products and there are many products and many sellers. I happen to like the way Primabee educates and guides people to understand what product might suit their wellness needs before they buy. Primabee put together a deal for my followers who'd like to try any of the Primabee Products. 20% of all orders over $50 dollars but you have to use the discount code ‘HERESTHEBUZZ' at checkout. Enjoy listening to the whole CBD buzz in this podcast of my live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show with Stephen Crane Co-Founder Primabee CBD.
In this interview, Dr. Douglas Kalman discusses some of the legal and regulatory issues regarding Delta-8 THC. He will contrast the differences between CBD and Delta-8 THC derived from hemp. Is it legal on a federal and or state level? It does seem that FDA is beginning to take some action towards Delta-8 THC. Many people think that anything derived from hemp is now legal because of the 2018 farm bill. Dr. Kalman discusses the distinctions and what consumers need to know. It seems confusing because many make assumptions that are not necessarily true. The post 414 – Is Delta-8 THC a Dietary Supplement? appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

Welcome to a brand new segment on the To Be Blunt podcast!The T(hc) Break is here to accomplish two things:1. Encourage more transparency in the cannabis industry as it relates to HOT TOPICSand 2. Spill some piping hot T(HC) and talk about controversial issues so we can better work towards a solution together, as an industry.I have and always will be here to speak as bluntly as possible, and yes this is still a marketing and business podcast, but I also believe in the power of education, and despite cannabis being around for tens of thousands of years, the legal market as we see it today is just getting ramped up. We no longer just have marijuana and THC, we talk about terpenes, and minor cannabinoids. We've reinvigorated the hemp plant with its multitude of uses and applications. We're beyond just smoking the flower and have seen consumption methods adopted from dissolvable powders to patches. And the language for which we discuss this plant is amateur at best, we are a work in progress.So this segment aims to tackle that, more real time issues and news. Mixed with honest viewpoints and perspectives, not to force "it's my way or the highway," but to create a safe space for ALL OF US, to level up this industry together.Today's episode discusses:Is Delta 8 THC A synthetic?Delta 8 THC is a hot topic here in Texas, and really across the United States. It's gotten a bad reputation for being called a Synthetic, a D9 substitute, and other negative associations. But I have and will always defend all cannabinoids. I believe if it comes from the plant, it plays a role in how we experience the plant. And thanks to research, we are beginning to do the research to better understand these individual components of the cannabis plant.With that said, I think that it is fair to say that yes there is BAD DELTA 8 THC out there, just like there is BAD DELTA 9 THC out there as well. That is the reality. We have a lot of work to do as an industry. But from personal experience, lots of consumers are finding true relief with Delta 8 THC, and I believe that we should be paying attention to that. Paying attention to the pharmaceutical industry who is isolating cannabinoids. And giving these cannabinoids a fair fighting chance before writing them off.Joining me today for the discussion is Chemist Mark Krause, and his son and Hemp business owner and manufacturer Marco Krause. They are based here in Austin, and have become great resources for myself personally. I really have enjoyed getting to learn from Mark and Marco over the years, and decided I would invite them on to have an open and transparent discussion focusing on the chemistry of Delta 8 for the podcast to inspire curiosity and a new perspective. As always, please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts to add.A little more about my guests:Mark Krause is currently the laboratory and technical director for Krause Analytical, LLC.

Vaccine 4 1 1 - News on the search for a Covid 19 Coronavirus Vaccine
This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for July 23rd, 2021. Instead of stories today we'll be answering some questions many people might be having about breakthrough cases. Cases of COVID in those who have been fully vaccinated. Do the vaccines work against Delta? So far, research shows they're holding up well against it. A June study from the U.K. found the Pfizer vaccine is 96% effective against hospitalization from the delta variant after two doses. If the vaccine isn't guaranteed to keep you from getting infected, why get it? Your chances of getting infected are dramatically reduced, and if you do get infected (which is possible), the vaccine should help you keep from getting as sick. How many people who are hospitalized are unvaccinated as opposed to vaccinated? 97% according to the CDC. What would make you more likely to have a breakthrough case that leads to serious illness? If you have health conditions that affect the immune system. Exactly how many breakthrough cases have there been? There's no exact number. They can't count asymptomatic breakthrough cases because those people don't get regular testing. If they have no symptoms, they don't know to get tested. The CDC measures the effectiveness of COVID vaccines the way they do flu shots. Most people who get the flu are never tested or reported. Long-term surveillance, along with calculations to extrapolate the findings, gives a picture of how much virus is out in the community. Why are breakthrough cases going up? Because more people got vaccinated. Math says that even with a 95% efficacy rate, one in 20 vaccinees who are exposed will get the disease. With Delta spreading 2-3 times faster than the original strain — there'll be more cases among everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated. Is Delta causing more breakthrough cases? There's no data yet to show that it is. It's also not known if you can spread the coronavirus if you get a breakthrough infection. In theory, the vaccinated have less virus so they're less likely to transmit. But it's not impossible. In the United States cases were up 180%, deaths are up 30%, and hospitalizations are up 53% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since July 5. There are now 5,109,249 active cases in the United States. The five states with the most new cases: Florida 12,647. California 6,937. Texas 6,340. Missouri 3,346. And Louisiana 2,834. The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Dimmit, TX. Cole, MO. Karnes, TX. Miller, MO. Marion, AR. Douglas, MO. Baxter, AR. Taney, MO. Oregon, MO. And Wright, MO. There have been 610,132 deaths in U.S. recorded as Covid-related. The top 3 vaccinating states by percentage of population that's been fully vaccinated: Vermont at 67.1%, Massachusetts at 63.3%, and Maine unchanged at 62.9%. The bottom 3 vaccinating states are Alabama and Mississippi at 33.9%, and Arkansas at 35.5%. The percentage of the U.S. that's been fully vaccinated is 48.8%. The 5 countries with the largest recent 24-hour increase in the number of fully vaccinated people: Taiwan up 14%. Saudi Arabia 7%. Argentina and Ukraine 4%. And Malaysia and Australia 3%. Globally, cases were up 20% and deaths were up 18% over 14 days, with the 7-day average trending up since June 21. There are 13,507,906 active cases around the world. The five countries with the most new cases: The United States 61,651. Brazil 49,603. Indonesia 49,509. The U.K. 39,906. And India 34,865.

Sherbert Strain Review Cannadave & Groovee review the cannabis strain Sherbert. Sherbert was grown by NOBO and we bought it at their Muskegon location. Sherbert is a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties, it's also known as Sunset Sherbert. This specific strain has a gassy & Limonene terpene profile. Have you tried Sherbert before? If so is it one of your top strains? Cannadave & Groovee talk about what makes Sherbert so unique & does it pass the MiCannaCast Strain Review. Tune in and Find out. Muskegon Cannabis The Westside of Michigan is a hub for cannabis spots. We stopped in at Muskegon and were wowed away by all the cannabis companies out there. It had tons of different shops and we were able to hit a couple of them. The first stop we stopped in was NOBO. NOBO is about the quality of the Flower they produce. We had on Alan Bonsett Owner/Founder of NOBO a brand from Colorado that has entered the Michigan market. We reviewed the Sherbert and the Truffle pig products of NOBO. The overall shop was neat, friendly staff and knowledgeable, they also have deals and grams can cost around 10.40 for one. The Second Shop was Timber Cannabis, a nice spot, and friendly staff was there. They are vertically integrated like NOBO but didn't have any flowers of their own yet. They're currently in the process of growing and harvesting their first batch in the coming months. They based their cannabis on how it made you feel instead of Indica & Sativa. Cannadave ended up getting an 8yth of Michigrown Runtz to try out which was pretty good. The Third shop was Redbud Roots. Very cool-looking shop as well, we didn't get much from this shop. Groovee picked up some Gorilla Glue wax which is reviewed on the CannaCon episode towards the end. See What Groovee thought of the wax! Finally the last stop was Rair, which also was vertical integrated carrying mostly their own in-house product. We picked out a couple of grams of Flower Platinum Garlic & Glue, as well as some Live Rosin of Plantium Garlic. The platinum garlic had a unique taste definitely a spicy & limonene taste. Covert Cups Recall A big recall in Michigan happened the other day to a product we like to eat, which is Covert Cups. They're edibles two pack 50mg a piece comes in a couple of different flavors. The state recalled them over packaging because it didn't match up to the original package. Berg from Medical Mondays had a great interview with Chris from Covert Cups to discuss what truly happened. The company that produced the cups Euclid lost their license temporarily because of the test and not good healthy practices happening inside the facility. The workers licked the spatula, touched their phones, & didn't wear practical clothing inside the facility. This is the same company that was suspended last year for two weeks due to an employee licking tons of pre roll joints during the pandemic. We shall see what happens here in the future and we will keep you updated. Delta 8 Delta 8 is Not getting banned in the State of Michigan. Governor Whitmer came out with a response saying we aren't banning it like we originally thought. The state is taking a different approach to have Delta 8 regulated in the state. This is a great step for our state to lead the way with Delta 8, we actually reviewed the vape oil of Delta 8 before we thought it was going to get banned. The MRA will be regulating the Delta 8 testing it just like the medical and adult-use cannabis gets tested through that program too.

The Ultra-Low-Cost-Carrier model has exploded worldwide. After doing exceedingly well during two previous downturns, 9/11 and the 2008 recession, these carriers are once again gearing up for rapid expansion as we emerge from COVID-19. Frontier is the first passenger carrier to announce hiring during the COVID crisis. Spirit is rumored to start up interviews again soon. Despite this impressive feat, the arrogant attitude towards the ULCC's has continued amongst some pilots even after they've seen explosive growth and contractual gains. We sat down with former Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza to make sense of it all. We talk about winners and losers. Is Delta delusional to think they can be cash neutral in Q2? We discuss timelines for bankruptcies and possible mergers. We learn what's next from a true expert and industry insider who has served as a high-level leader within pretty much every major airline. Listen to this fascinating interview with JetBlue Board Member and Former Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza and Raven's own ULCC Pilot, Jason DuVernay. We hope you enjoy this candid inside perspective and much as we did. Timestamps: [02:18] How has Ben's fascination with strategy and board games affected the way he leads in business? [07:35] Breeze Airlines: How will they disrupt? [14:44] Industry Status: Optimism in quarterly reports, delusional? [24:50] ULCC comparisons [29:37] Q2 Cash neutral, a pipe dream? [35:00] Why haven't we seen much success with ULCC's using wide-body aircraft? [39:15] Passengers who fly ULCC's; cheap or smart? An economics lesson. [42:52] Cares Act 2: Should pilots be excited about their recall? [44:51] "Hope is not a strategy," United's candor. [48:02] CASM: Are ULCC's able to outlast legacy price pressure?
