Meet Sagely Naturals, the Largest Female Founded CBD Company on the Market
Sagely Naturals employs PhD chemists to create their proprietary medicinal products, like their best selling Relief and Recovery Cream or their Tranquility Roll-On. They were shocked by how unappealing the CBD products were to them. “Maybe even the most alarming impression we had prior to launch was that the products all contained really high amounts of THC,” Behrens said. It seemed to us that there was a huge opportunity to create products that really highlighted CBD instead of THC. “I see a big trend of adding CBD to cosmetics—like CBD in mascara or CBD in hair products—but I don’t understand the necessity of these types of products,” Behrens said.

Man killed in Hawaii shark attack, witness says skin 'just torn off'
A man from California died after an apparent shark attack in Hawaii on Saturday, officials said. The 65-year-old man was pulled ashore with injuries that were "traumatic, life-threatening" and consistent with a shark attack, fire officials told KHON2. Saturday's attack was the sixth shark attack in Hawaii so far this year, according to Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources. Officials have not said what type of shark was involved in the attack, but shark expert Michael Domier told KHON2 a tiger shark could be to blame. "There's certainly great tiger shark habitat on Maui, a lot of shallow water, but a lot of people in the water, too."

Why Debt Isn't Killing Netflix Any Time Soon
Netflix detractors often cite the debt the company has accumulated as a key reason the company isn't well-positioned for long-term success. Assuming Netflix content continues to attract more subscribers, all should be well and good. Netflix's Capital EfficiencyNetflix's debt to equity ratio has been increasing since 2015, reaching 1.81 in Q1 of 2019. The capital Netflix is willing to spend on content compared to its competitors will not only accelerate but also widen the moat Netflix is building. This is why Netflix's business model can't be replicated by other media companies vying for a bite of SVOD.

The Buffs ‘Destiny 2’ Needs For Season Of Opulence
Destiny 2 BungieBungie has already hit us with the bad news when it comes to sandbox changes in Season of Opulence, a series of nerfs to the most popular exotics in the game. One thing I’m not going to do is go through every single underused or underpowered exotic that needs a buff. Destiny 2 BungieScoutsBungie has already buffed scouts a couple of times, and yet they are still not where they need to be. To compete against both them and pulse rifles, scouts need to be improved even further. This needs some major buffs or a total rework.

Trump climbs into a sumo ring to present a 60-pound ‘President’s Cup’ in highlight of Japan trip
Finally, after a full day of matches, perhaps the biggest star of all — weighing in at 243 pounds, according to his most recent physical — climbed into the sumo ring. President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s wife, Akie Abe, watch a sumo battle during the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo on Sunday. Instead, Trump entered the sumo ring after donning slippers — no shoes are allowed in the dohyo — and read from a scroll, the “certificate of commemoration” in honor of the 25-year-old victor, Asanoyama. “In honor of your outstanding achievement as sumo grand champion, I hereby award you the President’s Cup,” Trump said. There was also concern the president’s entourage and large security detail would take away seats from Japanese sumo fans.

Opinion | Nancy Pelosi and Fakebook’s Dirty Tricks
The Chewbacca mom video is sure fun, and so are New York Times articles, because classy journalism looks good on the platform. But the toxic stew of propaganda and fake news that is allowed to pour into the public river without filters? We had been talking about the vile Alex Jones, whom Mr. Zuckerberg had declined to remove from Facebook despite his having violated many of its policies. I find that deeply offensive,” Mr. Zuckerberg said. I just think, as abhorrent as some of those examples are, I think the reality is also that I get things wrong when I speak publicly.

Joining biking trails and bringing money to New England
Looking to give an economic boost to rural parts of New England, one group is turning to mountain bikers for help. The new initiative called the Borderlands covers 250 miles of trails in seven areas of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire, and also takes riders to Quebec. The seven bike organizations behind the trails say mountain bikers will get to see a diverse picture of New England, passing through forests and berms, over bridges, through idyllic villages, and past a few craft breweries. The trails in Quebec take riders through 14,000 acres of conserved land and are a short drive to Montreal. "We're super stoked and excited about it," Jim Tasse, assistant director of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and an avid mountain bike rider.

Discipline or treatment? Schools rethinking vaping response
But Manka began thinking about it more as an addiction problem, and less of a behavior issue, after seeing the two players from another school vaping near their bus. "It broke my heart," said Manka, whose school is now exploring how to offer cessation programs for students caught vaping or with vaping paraphernalia. Schools elsewhere have been wrestling with how to balance discipline with prevention and treatment in their response to the soaring numbers of vaping students. Last year, one in five U.S. high school students reported vaping the previous month, according to a CDC survey . Dr. J. Craig Allen, medical director at Rushford, a mental health treatment center in Meriden, said suspending teens for vaping may be counterproductive.

A different Oregon unfolds in the wild, wild East
We chose the small plane, so we parked our car at a Cessna hangar in Enterprise. The pilot loaded our bags atop rolls of sod and kegs of beer, which he would drop at the ranch along with us. Without much ado, we took off, bounding over imposing ridges. After we landed on a small grass airstrip, a tractor took us to the main house.

On a trip to Guatemala with my toddler, her grandparents' fears give way to fun
I had half-expected them to pepper me with recommendations on whom to visit and where to go. Before calling them, I had prepared myself to temper their expectations. The worst-case scenario I had envisioned was persuading my father that we couldn’t possibly visit all his family in Jalapa, about a three-hour drive from Guatemala City, during our week’s stay.

MIT Scientist’s Biotech Research Is Called Into Question
A prominent MIT researcher is defending himself and his team’s research against an accusation that they misled the scientific community about the discovery of two drugs in development, including a treatment for the flu virus that has attracted federal funding. The influenza and Zika treatments under scrutiny were described in research conducted by Dr. Ram Sasisekharan and a team at his bioengineering lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and developed at companies he co-founded.

Corruption case against USC’s Tony Bland shows what government had — and didn’t
Two months later, FBI agents arrested Bland, then USC's associate head coach, and nine other men after a two-year probe into college basketball corruption. During a televised news conference, Joon Kim, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, warned would-be cheaters that "we have your playbook" and suggested they come clean because "it's better for you to be calling us than for us to be calling you." Subpoenas were issued to major universities, big-name coaches and shoe companies. Coaches not publicly linked to the probe retained lawyers. They wondered where the FBI would strike next.
