Moreover, hCaMKIIN deactivated MEK/ERK, which is prerequisite to the inhibition of Thr-187 phosphorylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of p27, causing the inhibition of S-phase progression of cell cycle. The findings underscore a link between hCaMKIIN-mediated inhibition of CaMKII activity and p27-dependent pathways in controlling tumor cell growth and cell cycle and imply a potential application of hCaMKIIN in the therapeutics of colon cancers. Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that regulates a broad range of cellular processes, including cell development, proliferation, motility, secretion, and others (1, 2). Members of the Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)3-dependent proteins kinase (CaMK) family members are biochemical decoders of intracellular Ca2+ oscillations (3, 4), among which Mouse monoclonal to OTX2 CaMKII is certainly a ubiquitous serine/threonine proteins kinase that phosphorylates almost 40 different protein, including enzymes, ion stations, kinases, and transcription elements (5, 6). As a result, CaMKII is crucial for most pathological and physiological features of cells, and how exactly to regulate CaMKII activity can be an essential question in neuro-scientific biomedicine. CaMKII inhibitors can stop CaMKII activity by hooking up Ca2+/CaM binding site or impacting its catalytic function. Alisertib inhibition The CaMKII inhibitors found in the previous research had been the synthesized chemical substance reagents such as for example KN-62 (7) and KN-93 (8), or artificial inhibitory peptide such as for example AIP (9). These inhibitors of CaMKII have already been proven to inhibit CaMKII-dependent function in tumor cells, leading to cell development inhibition by impairment of cell routine development or induction of apoptosis (10C13). The effect of CaMKII inhibitors on cell cycle was associated with changed expression levels of cell cycle-related proteins (6, 11). For example, treatment of HeLa cells with KN-93 results in a cell cycle blockade in the G2 phase. Similarly, KN-93 could decrease cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 4 activity by reducing cyclin D1 levels and cdk2 activity by enhancing p27Kip1 (p27) expression, causing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Up to now, three endogenous CaMKII inhibitory proteins have been identified. Two rat brain-derived CaMKII inhibitors rCaMKIIN and rCaMKIIN interact with the activated CaMKII and inhibit CaMKII activity (14, 15). We have identified a human CaMKII inhibitory protein, hCaMKIIN, and shown that it inhibits human colon adenocarcinoma cell growth (16). However, Up to now there is no report about the physiological functions and the underlying mechanisms of endogenous CaMKII inhibitors in cell cycle progression. On the basis of identification of hCaMKIIN (16), here Alisertib inhibition we report the functional characterization of another novel endogenous human CaMKII inhibitory protein, designated as human CaMKII inhibitory protein (hCaMKIIN), and hypothesize that hCaMKIIN has suppressor Alisertib inhibition effects on colon tumorigenesis. We find a unfavorable correlation of hCaMKIIN expression with the severity of human colon adenocarcinoma, and hCaMKIIN can suppress growth of colon adenocarcinoma both and by searching the NCBI data base and amplified by reverse transcription-PCR from bone marrow stromal cells. The His-tagged expression vectors of full-length and domain-truncated mutants of hCaMKIIN (as illustrated in Fig. 1C), including pKIIN, pKIIN1C41, pKIIN1C53, pKIIN1C68, and the FLAG-tagged expression vectors of CaMKII (pFLAG-CaMKII), and CaMKII with H282 mutated to R (H282R) were constructed by PCR cloning and PCR mutation. The hCaMKIIN siRNA-generating plasmid, pI-KIIN, was constructed using the GeneSuppressor system (Imgenex). Vectors were transfected into cells using Lipofectamine2000 reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Unless specified, cells were subjected to analysis 48 h post-transfection. To express GST fusion proteins, the code region of hCaMKIIN and its mutants were cloned in-frame into pGEX-4T3 vector (Amersham Biosciences). Open in a separate window Physique 1.

(The episode starts at Jon's house, where Jon looks at a picture of Liz)
Jon: Gee. I haven't seen Liz in days. (to Garfield) Garfield, you don't look so good today. (Garfield sighs)
Garfield: Here we go again. (cut to Liz's Vet) Would it be easier to buy a dinner?
Jon: Can I help you hold your stethoscope?
Liz: Jon, there's nothing wrong with Garfield.
Garfield: See, she knows!
Liz: Nothing except his weight, of course.
Garfield: What do you know?
Liz: Which reminds me, I better see what he's doing in that department. (carries Garfield) 2 more pounds and we'll need a forklift to do this.
Garfield: Eh, Sarcastic remarks are my job! (they go to the scale)
Liz: You're going to inaugurate my new state-of-the-art animal scale, Garfield. Jon, would you turn the dial to "Portly Pussycat"?
Jon: (turns to dial) "Portly Pussycat" just as you asked! (Garfield was carried and stand on the scale)
Scale: OOOOOOOOOWWWWW! (Garfield gets scared) Get off me, you overweight tub of pasta and goo! (Garfield jumps up)
Garfield: Yikes! That thing talked! And it screamed at me! And it's rude!
Liz: Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a talking scale.
Scale: Come back here, you bucket of lard! I'm wasn't finished with you!
Liz: Garfield's heavier that he thought. It says he needs to lose two pounds right away by the end of the week, if possible.
Jon: And if he doesn't?
Liz: Then I think we have no choice to send him to the Cat Spa.
Garfield: The Cat Spa. That sounds great. Massages, long naps, more massages, more long naps...
Liz: They'll put him on a strict low fat diet.
Garfield: (realizes) Strict low-fat diet?! (he climbs on Jon) This low-fat diet, can I still eat lasagna and pizza and porked fried rice and bacon wrapped with bacon, right?
Liz: Here's the video of the place I had in mind.
Narrator: Welcome to Maggie's Cat Spa. The world's leading health resort for lazy, overweight cats with attitude.
Sarah O'Connor: When we brought Hector to Maggie's Cat Spa, He was eating 12 meals a day.
Old Man: Well, when he got so fat, he had to walk to the living room from the kitchen, He took a cab!
Sarah: But thanks to Maggie's Cat Spa, this will all be hard to show.
Old Man: Well, look at Hector now! Doesn't he look positive and look healthy and alert? (Hector groans, Jon and Garfield are shocked)
Narrator: At Maggie's Cat Spa, your beloved pet will be placed on a strict regalement of exercise and diet. (Hector groans after he eats food, the video ends)
Jon: Garfield can't go to that place!
Garfield: Yeah, Listen to Jon, he's right for a change!
Liz: Either he loses 2 pounds at the end of the week, or it's the Cat Spa for him. (Garfield and Jon get scared and shudder) Here, take the scale home with you so you can monitor his process.
Jon: I'll do my best to send him down. Do you think you can do that, Garfield? (He sees Garfield eat a sandwich) GARFIELD! That's Liz's lunch!
Garfield: Well, watching all that exercise made me...hungry. (he nervously laughs; cut to his house)
Jon: Dinner's ready, Garfield!
Garfield: I want lasagna and ribs and chinese food and chocolate cream pie, and roast beef, and a side of roast beef, and a third helping of my second helpings and... (he sees his dinner is a lettuce leaf) Hey. What's this?
Jon: Enjoy your lettuce leaf, Garfield.
Garfield: (he examines it, tastes it and eats it, but doesn't like it) Gee. I was expecting food. (he looks in the fridge to get food)
Jon: (calling Liz) I put him on that strict diet you recommended, Liz. (he sees Garfield with the leaf covered with food)
Garfield: You know these things aren't half bad when you cover it in whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
Jon: Uh, I'll call you back, Liz. (to Garfield) Let's see where we stand now. (Garfield on the scale)
Scale: Hey, you gained another pound! Nice going, fatso! A few more ounces and you'll be qualified for your own zipcode!
Jon: See, Now you have to lose 3 Pounds!
Garfield: I'll worry about it in the morning. (he goes upstairs)
Jon: I don't know what have to happen to take this seriously. (cut to Garfield in bed, is nighttime)
Garfield: Jon won't send me to that fat cat place. (he begins to sleep) Even if I did, it wouldn't be so bad...wouldn't be so bad...(A cat spa in Garfield's nightmare is shown; everything is black and white but Garfield is still orange though, imprisoned in jail) Let me out! Please! Let me out! I don't belong here! It's all a big mistake, I tell you! I'm not overweight! I just have a big very big of fur!
Hector: I wouldn't do that if I were you. Nurse Psycho doesn't like it when we scream in terror.
Garfield: (terrified) NURSE PSYCHO?!
Hector: You don't wanna know what she did to the last fat, obese cat that complained!
Garfield: What did she do?
Hector: (shivers) Let's put it this way. It was me.
Garfield: No! No! Jon! Would there be someone else compliant! HELP! Wait. I have to get a grip. Nurse Psycho can't possibly be that bad. (She arrives)
Nurse Psycho: WHERE'S THE NEW FAT CAT? (thunders sound are heard)
Garfield: Oh yeah, she can possibly be that bad...
Nurse Psycho: There you are. Have you been screaming in terror?!
Garfield: Oh, me? Ah, no. I was practicing my yodeling. Listen. (yodels, then was carried)
Nurse Psycho: We're going to get you into shape. (cut to cafeteria) First, dinner.
Garfield: Dinner's good.
Nurse Psycho: I hope you like "pea".
Garfield: Peas? Sure, I like peas.
Nurse Psycho: No. Pea. (serves a plate with a single pea) One pea. (Garfield looks at the pea with a glass of water, but only a drop of water)
Garfield: Gee. That's a pretty small pea. (to Audience) Would you all please turn away? I don't wanna cry when my fans are watching.
Nurse Psycho: Eat it!
Garfield: Can I eat half now? And take the rest home in a doggie bag?
Nurse Psycho: EAT IT! You'll start to exercise as soon as you're finished.
Garfield: As soon as I finish it. Ok. Well, here it goes. (he lifts the pea and throws it in his mouth and chews on it) Mmm-mmm.(Nurse Psycho pounds the table with her fist, making Garfield swallowing the pea and belches loudly) Oh, my compliments to the chef!
Nurse Psycho: Now, it's time for your workout.
Garfield: Wait. I need time to digest my huge meal. (smiles, but does gymnastics)
Nurse Psycho: Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. Now repeat for the rest of all eternity.
Garfield: No. I must've lost 2 pounds by now. (he goes to the scale)
Scale: Sorry, Pal. You're still fat.
Garfield: WHAT?! (he was dragged by Nurse Psycho, doing jogs and laps)
Nurse Psycho: FASTER! My grandmother came faster than that.
Garfield: Help! Her grandmother makes me do this to her! I must've lost weight by now. (he goes to the scale again)
Scale: Didn't you hear me, jumbo?! You're still fat. (Garfield gasps, but is dragged by Nurse Psycho, he does pushups)
Nurse Psycho: FASTER!
Garfield: (Groans), Oh boy!
Nurse Psycho: FASTER! (he does it) FASTER! (he gives up) We don't like slackers around here!
Garfield: What am I doing here? Why are you doing this to me?! And why is everything black-and-white?! I must've lost my weight by now! (Garfield goes to the scale once more)
Scale: Guess what, chubby? (Garfield sees his true unveiled form and gasps; beep sound)
Mutant Spider Scale: That's right. You're fatter than ever. Even your flab is fat. (it's voice changes) You're so fat that when you sit around the house! YOU SIT AROUND THE HOUSE!!!
Garfield: Knock off the insults!
Mutant Spider Scale: You're so fat that when you step on a scale, it says one at a time, please. (Garfield closes the doors on him) You're so fat that you need to watch on each wrest one for each time zone! (he appears in front of Garfield; he screams) Don't Be Afraid Garfield. You're among friends now. I fact, ALL your friends ARE HERE! (Garfield looks around, flinchingly)
Garfield: I don't see any friends.
Mutant Spider Scale: Here are your friends, Garfield. (the food comes out of nowhere) Pizza, ice cream, pie, cake, cheese, roast beef and of course, lasagna! They're ALL your friends!
Talking Food: (all together) We're your friends, Garfield!
Garfield: Whoa!! Get away from me! (the food pleas to be Garfield's friend, and the scale maniacally laughs) I have to lose weight! (he backs away from them until he falls down) AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! (Everything turns silent, Garfield wakes up; gasps; is dizzy from his nightmare) I have to lose weight! I have to lose weight!
Jon: I don't know what to do, Liz. I can't get him to exercise! (he sees Garfield jogging with Odie as his coach)
Garfield: 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2...
Liz: Jon? Jon? There something wrong? (he then sees Garfield doing exercises and odie follows him blowing a whistle)
Garfield: I'll do situps after I finish my aerobics!
Jon: Uh, I have to call you back, Liz. I seem to be having hallucinations. (he hangs up, and sees Garfield) Garfield, I'm so impressed! (Odie comes in) I'm sure you lost at least 2 pounds! (Garfield gets on the scale)
Garfield: He better not insult me.
Scale: You still need to lose 2 pounds. (Garfield is shocked by this, the scale laughs, and Garfield loses his mind, realzing it was from his nightmare, who insulted him)
Jon: I can't understand it! You must've lost weight, you must have! (looks) OH! I see what the problem is. I was going to set it on "Portly Pussycat", and by accident, I put it to "Pintsize Parakeet"! (Garfield grimaces this, Jon turns the dials, making sure he lost weight) You're fine! In fact, you didn't have to lose 2 pounds in the first place! (Garfield gets mad at him) But isn't it good to drop a few pounds, Garfield? (He scares Jon) Garfield? Why do you look so mad? Garfield! (He flees) Leave me alone! Don't hurt me! HELP! HELP!
Garfield: I should go after him, but I have some more important things to do. (cut to zoo) Let's see what you weigh, jumbo! (An elephant puts one foot on the scale)
Scale: What are you? An elephant?! You really need to lose weight! You need to lose... (Powering Down).
Garfield: Yeah, I know it's cruel. But there's some things in this world you just can' forgive and making me exercise is most of them. (puts a side glance to the viewers)

|This article is about a/an Worm in Kamen Rider Kabuto.
The Lanpyris Worm (ランピリスワーム Ranpirisu Wāmu) is a Worm capable of emitting plasma from its ball-like right hand that mimicked an officer it had just killed. The Lanpyris Worm goes after a girl named Yuki Tamai who witnessed its mimicry, assuming her form as the police arrive and arrest it with the girl running off.
Ending up in the Shibakouen Station, the fake Yuki is intervened by Maki, convinced that the girl is human. However, Tendo breaks her out and she runs off to accomplish her objective as the real Yuki meets with her date at the amusement park. Assuming its true form, the Lanpyris Worm battles Kabuto over the entire amusement park at super speed before being destroyed by Kabuto's Rider Kick.
Her human mimic of Yuki Tamai is portrayed by Mika Kikuchi, who is famous for her role as Koume "Umeko" Kodou in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger.

Nkana are fighting to reach the semi-finals of the the 2018/19 CAF Confederation Cup as they face CS Sfaxien on Sunday in the quarterfinal decider away in Tunisia.
Kalampa have a narrow 2-1 advantage from the first leg match played in Wusakile, Kitwe last Sunday.
The Nkana technical bench is promising to throw everything at Sfaxien in a bid to storm the last four of the Confederation Cup.
"We are positive that we will come up with a positive result. What is important is for us is qualifying to the semi-finals," Nkana assistant coach Manfred Chabinga said on Saturday in Tunisia.
Chabinga said the absence of key strikers Fred Tshimenga and Walter Bwalya won't hinder Nkana from eliminating Sfaxien.
Bwalya and Tshimenga, who have scored three and four continental goals this season respectively, are missing the crucial match due to injuries.
"We have won matches without Walter or Tshimenga sometimes. It is not about the striking force, it is about how we are going to defend that 2-1 lead," he said.
Nkana must avoid defeat in Sfax to progress.
Sfaxien coach Ruud Krol is banking on the away goal.
"We are happy with the goal we scored. Scoring an away goal is always good," Krol said.
Kickoff is at 18h00 in Sfax.
Nkana Squad
Goalkeepers: Moses Mapulanga, Kelvin Malunga
Defenders: Joseph Musonda, Ben Banh, Musa Mohammed, Hassan Ramadhan, Moses Nyondo, Gift Zulu, Richard Ocran
Midfielders: Shadreck Malambo, Shadreck Musonda, Simon Bwalya, Bwalya Kasonde, Duncan Otieno, Lyson Thole, Obed Masumbuko, Jacob Ngulube, Kelvin Mubanga

That Which Issues Forth: My Love Affair with Juana I
Gabriel Amor is the recipient of a 2016 PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grant for his translation of Spanish poet Ana Arzoumanian's poem cycle, Juana I, based on the queen of Castille and Aragon. Read an excerpt of the translation here.
What I need is a mouth.
Why does she keep insisting on this singular need?
This question consumed me from the moment I first read Ana Arzoumanian's Juana I. I was thrilled, and maybe titillated, by the provocative act of opening a book with an entire page dedicated to one succinct, ambiguous and suggestive phrase.
Lo que yo necesito es una boca.
What I need is a mouth. This defiant declaration, luxuriously draped in ample white space, fueled my desire. I wanted insight into this woman's intimate thoughts. I was curious to know what she would say next. As I read on, I discovered a genre-bending work that signals its obsession with language, subjectivity, and sensuality in the very first line.
Arzoumanian's Juana is impossible to ignore, not least because she is an unreliable, and unknowable, narrator. Intelligent, educated, boundlessly passionate, and overtly sexual, her sanity is repeatedly called into question. Juana I's behavior caused a scandal in sixteenth-century Spain and it would surely make headlines today:
Queen Sleeps with Consort's Corpse!
Crazy for Love or Just Plain Crazy?
Unstable Wench Inherits World Empire!
Our political machinations pale when compared to those that brought down Juana I; incarcerated, humiliated, and manipulated, she was denied the royal power that was rightfully hers. After the premature death of her husband, Philip the Fair, a period of crisis unfolded in Juana's life. This was infamously punctuated by a month-long funeral procession during which she was rumored to open Philip's casket in order to view his corpse and, it was said, to caress it.
I run ropes through the gates of your body.
I clean you. Licking muscle joined to bone joined to skin.
This is the point of departure for Arzoumanian's book, told in a rambling first-person voice that denotes the unraveling of its protagonist's emotional state. And while Juana's voice is at times unsettling in its incoherence, at times lost amid the whispers and intrigue of those around her, it continues on propelled by the need to share her story.
Juana's adversaries were successful in their smear campaign—she has gone down in history as Juana la Loca. But was she mad? Or was she driven to the brink by unfathomable grief and the realization that she'd been betrayed by those dearest to her?
Arzoumanian doesn't provide a definitive answer. I am not mad, her Juana insists intermittently, before returning to a delirious rant that details a litany of erotic acts certain to make her contemporaries question her sanity…and her ability to rule.
Is this self-sabotage? Or is it the acting out of an unhinged psyche?
To brand a queen loca is to deny her not only power but voice; being labeled "mad" invalidates whatever issues from her mouth. Arzoumanian knows this and posthumously grants Juana a singular mouth that will not be silenced, much less ignored.
Gabriel Amor has an MA in English (University of Chicago) and an MFA in Creative Writing in Spanish (New York University). In addition to translating works by Spanish-language authors, Gabriel has published his own poetry (Spanish and English) and performed it in collaboration with other artists. He has also co-produced an Emmy-nominated documentary. Gabriel is currently at work on a novel, written in Spanish and Galician, and concurrently self-translated into English.
This piece is part of PEN's 2016 PEN/Heim Translation Series, which features excerpts and essays from recipients of this year's PEN/Heim Translation Fund Grants.
This translation is available for publication. Publishers and editors who wish to express interest in this project are invited to contact PEN Literary Awards Coordinator Arielle Anema (email@example.com) or Translation Fund Advisory Board Chair Michael F. Moore (email@example.com) for the translator's contact information.

What Is CBD Vape Oil?
Well, to start, CBD vape oil isn't technically an oil. It's simply derived from hemp oil.
A more fitting term would be CBD e-liquid or vape juice.
As a beginner, you need to be clear about the terms not just for your safety but for the effects you'll get from vaping, too.
You see, apart from CBD vape oil, there are also CBD tinctures. These oils are made for oral use and should not be used for vaping because most of them have coconut oil.
In comparison, CBD vape oil has vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. These two are considered sugar alcohols which, when heated, create vapor that allows them to be inhaled.
CBD vape oil, apart from vaping, is also edible.
Now, since there's CBD in the equation, you're probably worried about one thing:
The short answer is no.
Majority of CBD vape oils are made from CBD isolate which means that they have no THC, the main psychoactive compound of cannabis. Other brands, meanwhile, only have trace amounts of it.
Is It Safe?
The risks associated with CBD vape oil is minimal. In fact, for you to experience its minor side effects, you'd need to vape a lot.
And if you do experience slight drowsiness, dry mouth or dizziness, you can just drink some water and take a short break. If those things don't solve the issue, you can try vaping less frequently or you can lower your CBD dosage- we'll talk more about that later.
One of the most important things you need to consider when using a CBD vape product is the ingredients. As mentioned, most CBD vape juices are created by combining CBD oil with a thinning agent which could either be propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.
Now, let's do a quick comparison of the two.
Propylene glycol or PG is a petroleum by-product. It's usually added in food and cosmetic products.
Vegetable glycerin, on the other hand, is derived from vegetables. As a natural substance, it's deemed to be a safer choice than PG.
Even studies point to VG as a better thinning agent.
A 2010 study revealed that propylene glycol in the air is closely linked to respiratory problems. Other studies suggest that it can also release acetaldehyde and formaldehyde when heated to really high temperatures.
Now, if sticking with CBD vape juices that utilize VG as their main thinning agent isn't possible, it's important to find a really good vape pen that won't heat up to extreme temperatures.
Oh, and make sure you aren't allergic to those two chemicals. If you have a sensitivity to PG or VG, you're likely to end up with swelling, hives, and difficulty breathing which is considered a medical emergency.
To make sure you don't experience those negative reactions, use pure CBD vape oil only and check if your provider is reliable and true to its claims.
And if you feel that vaping doesn't work for you or you're not experiencing relief from your condition, it's best to try other CBD forms. Fab CBD, for example, offers oils, creams, and gummies that aren't just effective but reasonably priced, too.
Is CBD Vape Oil Legal?
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, yes.
Hemp and hemp-derived CBD products are considered legal in the country.
However, for your peace of mind and safety, it's best to do your research and know the regulations in your local state and city. Some states have stricter regulations than others.
The Top Benefits of Vaping CBD Oil
As there are tons of CBD products out there, you might be thinking what makes vaping CBD oil better.
It's fast-acting
When you inhale cannabinoids, the effects can start in as fast as 1 to 3 minutes. As for duration, the said effects can last for about 1 to 3 hours.
If you are dealing with an anxiety attack, a fast-acting CBD product such as a CBD vape oil can definitely help.
It offers better dosing accuracy
Compared with other oral CBD products, CBD vape oil can be easily and accurately dosed. This is critical if you are using it for addressing health issues.
It's less toxic
Vaping CBD exposes you to less toxic byproducts as compared with smoking raw flower or even nicotine.
A Recap
Knowing the Right Dosage for You
There are so many factors to consider when determining the right CBD dosage for you. Apart from the symptoms you are trying to treat and your body weight, you also have to consider your tolerance.
Plus, people's endocannabinoid system and metabolism vary, too.
With that, there's really no strict dosage when it comes to CBD. People will experience different results.
In general, however, an average CBD vape cartridge can contain about 100mg of CBD. For single puff, it should deliver 1mg to 2mg of CBD.
You can take in more CBD per puff depending on the device you are using as well as your CBD vape juice's strength.
For you to find the right dosage for you, it's best to start low. If you aren't experiencing the results you want, you can work your way up but make sure that you do it gradually.
And for each time that you increase your dosage, pay closer attention to your symptoms. Once you experience relief and CBD's positive effects, try to stick with it.
Now, if you are clueless about how much vaped CBD you need, consider your condition.
If you are suffering from chronic pain, 2.5mg to 20mg of CBD might work for you. For managing social anxiety, you can start with 40mg of CBD and work your way up to 300mg.
How to Safely and Properly Vape CBD Oil
After finding the best cannabis vape oil, you need to know how to use it properly to experience its maximum benefits. Even if you're using the strongest CBD vape oil, you won't be able to benefit from it if you're using it the wrong way or you're not getting the right dose for your case.
To start, be sure that you've read the user manual that you received with your device. Different vaping tools require different procedures.
If you are using a disposable CBD vape, there's no preparation required and there are no buttons to push. You simply need to inhale.
For refillable vape pens, pods, and cartridges, below are some helpful tips you can use in operating them:
CBD Vape Pen
- Get your CBD e-juice and start filling the tank of your vape pen.
- Prime your coil and wait for about 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to saturate.
- Push the power button to turn the battery on.
- For pens with adjustable airflow, dial your desired setting.
- As you press the button, start inhaling with small puffs.
- Stop and wait for 5 to 10 minutes to check how it's affecting you.
- Take more frequent and larger puffs as you work your dose up.
CBD Oil Cartridge
- Take your cartridge and connect it to your battery.
- If there's a power button on your device, press it 5 times to turn the unit on.
- While pressing the button, begin inhaling small puffs.
- Allow 5 to 10 minutes to pass so you can assess how the CBD is affecting you.
No matter what type you are using, it's important to clean it after each use.
Vaping CBD is one of the fastest ways to experience its benefits. However, for you to actually get relief from your health issues, you need to find the best CBD vape oil.
In our search, we found Hemp Bombs CBD E-Liquid as our top CBD vape oil. Made with CBD isolate without any trace of THC, it can help you in managing your health concerns without having to worry about an upcoming drug test or getting high.
Plus, it offers a lot of options both for flavors and concentrations.
Now, if you are wondering where to buy your CBD vape oil, it's safer if you purchase it directly from the company's site. Although you can get a CBD vape oil through online selling platforms like eBay and Amazon, there's no way for you to check the product's authenticity unless it's already on your hands.
And if you end up with a fake one, that's just a waste of both time and money.

While new world wines were once considered inferior when likened to their old world cousins, advances in wine production have led to a global winemaking renaissance — with Australia flying the flag for the new world thanks to the variety and depth of its produce.
The growth in popularity of Australian wine is something of a success story. Unlike Europe, whose winemaking heritage dates back over 1,000 years, Australia has had just 200 years to work on, and ultimately perfect, its native wine production.
Today, Australia's vineyards produce over a hundred different varieties of wine, and its produce can be enjoyed in as many countries. Indeed, the country's wine has proved so enduringly popular, the UK now imports more wine from Australia than it does from France — a fact which further highlights the nose, depth and delicious taste of Australia's signature vintages.
If you've a penchant for Australian wine and are keen to discover more about its winemaking offering, here we present the ultimate guide to Australia wine.
The History & Origins of Australian Wine
Given that Australia has no native grape varieties from which to produce wine, the history of its viticulture is both unique and fascinating. In the 18th century, when the First Fleet arrived in Australasia, they brought with them grape vines from the old world. These became Australia's first wine-producing vines, and prompted the very start of the country's love affair with winemaking.
Despite these advances, the majority of these imported vines reaped a poor harvest, and it wasn't until James Busby, a renowned horticulturalist, turned his attention to wine production that Australian viticulture really found its feet.
In 1831, Busby travelled to Europe in search of grapevines that would be suitable for prolonged growth and wine production in Australia's relatively dry and sandy soils. Busby and his team collected over 600 varieties from across the continent, though only 362 ultimately survived the return journey back to Australia.
Upon returning to Sydney, the vines were planted in the prestigious Botanical Gardens of Sydney, where they flourished under the watchful eye of Busby and his fellow horticulturalists. Once the vines had developed to full maturity, cuts were taken from a number of different plants and distributed across New South Wales, Southern Australia and Victoria — giving rise to Australia's earliest independent vineyards and wineries.
In the wake of Busby's mission to put Australian wine on the map, vineyards began popping up across Southern Australian, with the Wyndham Estate in the prestigious Hunter Valley becoming the biggest and most successful of them all. By the 1850s, Australia had begun exporting wine to Europe and beyond, and the rest, as they say, is history.
To discover more about the heritage of Australian wine, check out our in-depth guide on a history of Australia's wine industry.
Australia's Wine Industry in Numbers
To give you an idea of the scale of Australia's present day wine industry, here we look at the industry in numbers — from the acreage of its vineyards to the amount of wine produced a year.
- 400,000 acres of vines in Australia, producing 1.1 million tonnes of grapes a year
- On average, Australia produces over 1 billion litres of wine a year
- Australia is home to over 1,200 wineries
- Yet 20 of the largest vineyards produce 90% of the nation's total wine
- Around sixty distinct wine-producing regions exist across Australia
- Australia grows some of the oldest grape vines in the world, some of which date back to the 1840s
- Over 200 different grape vines commercially produced in Australia
- In 2016, Australia exported wine to 123 countries, to the tune of nearly £2bn
The Major Wine Regions and their Grape Varieties
While Australia is home to dozens of unique wine-producing regions, a handful are more highly regarded than the rest. Here, we take a tour of five of the country's most prestigious winemaking regions.
Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley is one of the oldest and most renowned of all Australia's vineyards, as well as one of the largest. Covering some 25,600 acres, Barossa benefits from a Mediterranean climate that makes it perfect for producing very ripe grapes, a linchpin of Australia's early fortified wine industry. The region differs from other wine-producing areas because, rather than being influenced by the British, it was Germanic settlers who first began making wine here in the late 18th century.
Barossa has become synonymous for producing old vine Shiraz wines, which are characterised by their full-body and intense aroma. Other grapes prominently grown in the region include Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Mourvedre and Semillon.
Major vineyards in the Barossa Valley include Penfolds Grange, Orlando Wines, Wolf Blass and Peter Lehmann.
Hunter Valley
As one of the earliest regions to see wine produced on a large scale, the Hunter Valley has prevailed as a major wine region since the 1850s, placing it among the most distinguished of all Australian wine regions. The Hunter Valley has a Mediterranean to sub-tropical climate, making it one of the hottest and wettest wine-producing areas in Australia, and is renowned for producing grapes that are highly ripened.
One of the signature wines of the Hunter Valley is the Hunter Valley Semillon, which has become a trademark wine of the valley since it was first produced here in the 1830s. Semillon grapes have been grown in the valley for nearly 200 years, and have been used to produce a huge variety of different wines, including Hunter Valley Riesling, Hock, Rhine Gold, White Burgundy, Chablis and Shepherd's Riesling.
Other grape varieties commonly found in the Hunter Valley include Chardonnay, Verdelho, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Prominent vineyards in the region include Hollydene, Audrey Wilkinson and Lake's Folly.
Clare Valley
Lying just north of Adelaide, the Clare Valley was one of the regions of South Australia to receive vine cuttings from Busby in the 1840s, making it one of the oldest wine regions in Australia. The Clare Valley region covers 13,190 acres, and is home to at least 200 growers, some of which cultivate wine on a non-commercial basis. With its continental climate, the Clare Valley is considered a moderately cool wine-growing region, and this shows in its most prevalent grape varieties, which include white grapes like Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, and red grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo and Grenache.
Some of the biggest and most reputable wineries of the Clare Valley include Knappstein, Jim Barry and Eldredge.
Coonawarra has emerged as one of the most successful and fruitful wine regions of South Australia, and played a pivotal role (alongside other regions like the Clare and Hunter valleys) in moving Australia's wine industry away from fortified wines to focus on conventional table wines. The region lies on Australia's Lime Stone Coast, 230 miles from Adelaide, and benefits from a continental maritime climate not too dissimilar from that of Bordeaux, France. Coonawarra is home to over 130 vineyards, and produces around 23,480 tonnes of grapes a year.
Of all the wines produced in Coonawarra, Cabernet Sauvignon has become iconic of the region. This is thought to be down to the ideal growing conditions offered by the region's 'terra rossa' soil, as well as its mild and average-wet climate.
Some of the most prominent wineries in Coonawarra include Balnaves, Banks Thargo and the Jack Estate.
Margaret River
Responsible for putting Western Australia on the map as a successful wine-producing region, the Margaret River is home to some of Australia's most successful boutique-size vineyards and wineries, and is growing in popularity thanks to changes in climate and a burgeoning interest in wines produced by independent growers.
What sets the Margaret River apart from other Australian wine regions is its climate, which is strongly maritime-influenced. It also has the lowest mean temperature of any Australian region (7.5°C), and the lowest level of average yearly rainfall — making it a unique area on Australia's viticulture map.
Despite this unique climate, the Margaret River produces a range of different wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Merlot. Some of the most popular vineyards in the region include Ashbrook Estate, Brookland Valley and Sandalford Wines.

From the stage, we tell our stories of the human condition. Performers. Directors. Design. Stage management. Sets. Each element contributes to the theatre's ability to communicate empathy, power, change, growth and joy. Reaching these transcendent moments takes more than aspiration; it takes work. Anderson's Bachelor of Arts in Theatre will transform you into a well-rounded theatre artist whose skill set ranges from design and analysis to acting and writing. You have the freedom to shape your electives around your interests, too. This freedom creates a tailored education that propels you into a full-time theatre career or graduate school.
Program Overview
Your journey through Anderson's theatre program starts with a pre-requisite audition, then progresses through four years of challenging, inspiring coursework taught by professors with extensive professional experience. The following three courses reflect the depth of learning you'll receive at AU:
Auditions Course prepares you to excel at auditions through specific techniques.
Theatre History walks you through the dialogue between history and the arts, starting with the development of theatre in the Grecian world and ending with modern times.
Script and Character Analysis refines your sense of genre and style as you read through the standard canon of plays. You'll discover which characteristics make up a certain genre, including character development and plot motivation.
The main audition day for all new theatre majors is a fall masterclass. Auditions take place on other days during the fall semester, too. Schedules are available from the theatre department.
Actors are required to do two contrasting monologues no longer than two minutes in combined length. Musical theatre performers are required to do one monologue and 16 measures of two contrasting songs. Musical theatre auditions may require dancing, too.
Career Outlook
The theatre program's emphasis on creating a well-rounded theatre artist prepares you to excel in any number of positions. The BA in Theatre will prepare you for positions in design, lighting, directing, stage management and arts administration. Salaries in these positions vary, depending on the theatre company. Entry-level arts administrators earn around $30,000 on average, but they can make up to about $150,000 in top-flight theatres. Stage managers can earn $2,400 a week in a Broadway show. The position you choose, the theatre in which you work, and union contracts will often dictate your salary. And, if you want to further your theatre studies, your degree is the perfect foundation for a graduate program.

Paul Sweeting is the new 11T man at the Shires Removals Group.
Since 1974 when Paul Sweeting started a small van and man delivery company, delivering items of furniture for Woolworths in Wakefield, he has always been looking for novel ways of attracting new business.
Over the last six months Paul has been very busy visiting DVLA number plate auctions collecting a wide variety of personalised registration numbers for his fleet of removal vehicles.
The ones which first caught his eyes were MOV 11T and MOV 111T, very appropriate for removal vans. These were followed by GET 11T, GET 111 T then TRY 11T, JRY 111T, ERN 11T, and ERN 111T.
Once he had caught the bug he decided to change the whole fleet of removal vehicles to make them ageless. Several other plates were forthcoming some with a more novelty value HAD 11T, JAK 11T, JAP 111T, KAJ 11T, JOG 111T, BOX 111T, and RUN 11T .
Another plate caught his eye for his daughter who is a very important horticulturist, this was POT 11T and was swiftly followed POT 111T. Not to be left out was his youngest daughter Lesley-Anne, who at 30 years of age got a special birthday present of LES30
For Paul, being the Managing Director, it was obvious that he should have OWN 11T and his son, being a co-director, have OWN 111T.
After revamping the fleet and now making them totally ageless he can now look forward to semi retirement and his forthcoming wedding to Lynne in August. Their wedding car will be Lynne's Mercedes which strangely enough has the number plate K1SSX. How appropriate!
The Shires Removal Group is now in safe hands with his son and daughter taking over the reins and still going from strength to strength. Since moving to a new site of 3.5 acres, the company offers over 1,200 storage containers, with 20 various removal vehicles. The site also has full servicing facilities, with a well equipped four- bay garage with service pits and 14 ton ramps and undertakes inspections and servicing for other local transport contractors.
The company has built its own specialised removal vans which are able to carry up to nine storage containers. Since 1989 it has also offered full bodybuilding facilities to other removal companies who require the bespoke service including full renovations, painting, and lettering .

What is the purpose of a copy constructor?

I want to know the purpose of using copy constructor. An example would be beneficial.
copy constructor is a constructor function with the same name as the class and used to make deep copy objects.
Copy Constructor in C++ is used to copy one object of a class to another object.
It is implicitly invoked when we pass an object as a parameter from one function to another because on doing so instead of its reference, the object's copy gets passed to the called function.
Hence any change in the called function on the copied object will not be reflected by the original object.
Syntax to create/override copy constructor:
TestClass (const TestClass &source): myVariable{source.myVariable}{
cout << "Copy constructor called" << endl;

Library cuts are a low blow
Library cuts of 18 percent valued at more than $5 million announced in the 2018-19 New South Wales (NSW) Budget have been criticised by Wagga Wagga City Council deputy mayor Councillor Dallas Tout.
President of NSW Public Libraries Association, which represents a network of 368 public libraries across the State, Cr Tout said that these new cuts constituted a major blow to library services that were highly valued by local communities.
New South Wales Local Government Association (LGNSW) President, Councillor Linda Scott, said the Budget was a big let-down for local government with little focus on community infrastructure and local government reform.
Cr Scott said the NSW Government swapped funding for local infrastructure and services for a handful of short-term sweeteners in its so-called 'people's budget'.
Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council Mayor, Abb McAlister, said, "These cuts raise significant concerns, the impact of these cuts will mean the loss of services to vulnerable populations in our community.
"Libraries are the cornerstones to a community, they bring people together, offer a variety of services and are valuable resources for our communities."
"The funding cuts could see the reduction of opening hours, cuts to programs that the community love, like the popular children's story times. Reductions in staff numbers, and the services they offer," Mayor McAlister said.
Cessnock City Mayor, Bob Pynsent, concurred saying he was disappointed by the Government's decision which is a major blow for every community and their residents.
"As our communities grow the need for improved library services increases.
"The importance of libraries needs to be recognised and we need to be investing in these spaces that provide an overwhelming positive benefit to the entire community."

The thing about Dancing With the Stars is that, no matter who ends up on the bottom – and who at the tippy top -- of the leader board at the end of the performance shows, you really never know which contestant will be deprived of his or her mirror-ball-trophy dreams on results night and sent packing.
After Monday night's show a full 16 points separated the J.R. Martinez and partner Karina Smirnoff, who had earned two perfect scores and ended the night with 60 out of 60 points, and Nancy Grace and her long-suffering partner, Tristan MacManus, who had only 44 points rattling around their pockets like so much loose change. Somewhere in between lurked Ricki Lake and Derek Hough; Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke; and Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Yet truly, at the beginning of Tuesday night's results show, it seemed like it could have been anyone's game ...
Had Grace's remarkably devoted fans gotten out the votes to save her? Would Martinez's voting bloc deem him to be safe and slack off, putting him in jeopardy? And what about the others?
After a show in which the hilarious DanceCenter guys (Kenny Mayne, Jerry Rice and Len Goodman) made us chuckle and guffaw despite the tension, and everyone from Andrea Bocelli to Flo Rida to Jordin Sparks to Cirque du Soleil and (if my eyes weren't mistaken) the one-legged ghost of Michael Jackson performed, we got our answer …
Yes! Goodman had been right after all. Grace's time at the ball had, indeed, come to an end. And Kardashian, whom the DanceCenter guys quipped had lasted on the show longer than his sister Kim's marriage, would stick around to dance another day, competing with Martinez, Lake, and Solo in next week's semifinals.
To be fair, Grace took the news with a certain amount of … well … grace. She thanked her dance partner. She thanked her family. She thanked the DWTS cast and crew. She even thanked the fans who'd kept her around way longer than anyone had imagined.
Nicely handled departure, Nancy. I'm sure those cute twins will be happy to have you back home.
Are you sad to see Nancy Grace go?

1. Oracle Interview Questions
3. Oracle Success Stories
3. Engineering at Oracle
4. Career Levels and Compensation
Great teams and people. Work-life balance seems to vary by team. Mine is great, others not so much. So if you are considering working here, do ask your hiring manager about that. Great pay and benefits. Challenging problems (I work in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) and great opportunity for growth. Performance feedback is given often on my team. Strategic vision is often poorly communicated. Hearing about it once or twice a year is not enough.
Please ensure you read the disclaimer on the previous page reading the accuracy and sourcing of these problems.
This information was sourced from reviews originally posted on Glassdoor.
It's an amazing team with good communication and teamwork. Everyone works hard and does extra on bigger projects and attack projects as a team. Another pro is that Oracle is one of the bigger companies around the world, so it will look good on your resume for your next or future job. It is a great company to work at if you are joining as your 2nd or 3rd job in your career so that you are decently compensated already. Another good thing is that Oracle has the "unlimited PTO" as a benefit for salary employees, but it depends on your immediate manager to approve or not. My manager was amazing at allowing me to have time off when I needed.
My manager and team were absolutely the most skilled set of automation specialists across Oracle. It was a pleasure working with them and the atmosphere was truly outstanding. I was skilled enough to work in fields outside the scope of my original job title. Although my abilities were recognized, all my manager's requests for promotions within my part of the organizations where declined repeatedly. Stick with your priorities and see them through until your team have enough time to complete them and see them succeed. Do not continue to provide priorities that did not meet the companies long term goals. This accumulates to a complete waste of time and your developers will lack a sense of accomplishment.
Oracle is a low-stress environment with some incredibly brilliant people if you dig around for them. Corporate policies tend to be antiquated and slow to adapt, but they do adapt. Unrealistic college hiring standards and weak raises with dry promotions create a revolving door for top engineers, while low performers are just endlessly "reorganized" instead of being fired, continuously diluting the talent. Make more of an effort to retain your talent by providing reasonable bonuses and raises. Once these high performers leave, they're not coming back.
Solid lock on DBMS market which is not growing and now subject to competition from NoSQL offerings. Company allows to work from home. This is the best benefit. Total comp is below average. Employees are considered dispensable and there is minimal effort to invest in employees. Depending on which group you end up in you might end up in a very niche area that makes it hard to find new work.

I love the internet.
And also I love Fridays. So! There's that. And tacos.
Even with my, ahem, alternative schedule (in which I usually work Saturdays and Sundays, like this weekend), Fridays just have such PROMISE to them, don't they? Love. What are you doing this weekend? I have yoga related things ALL day today, tomorrow, and for part of the day Sunday, so I'm half excited half hoping my back doesn't crap out on me again and leave me crippled on Monday.
Back to the interwebz, though. I'm ALWAYS looking for new things to read and new ways to share this silly site with other people, so that's where you'll come in in a minute. Before that, though, here are some of my favorite places on the internet, places that I visit almost every day.
- The Pioneer Woman and Tasty Kitchen. Duh. Me and every other girl blogger, right? I started blogging because of this woman, and now obviously I'm trying to figure out how to make my ramblings into a high-paying empire. Clearly.
- How Sweet It Is. Fully obsessed, want to be friends, want her life.
- I actually think I'm the last person ever to get my news from Yahoo, when it's not coming from the CNN app on my phone. I know, dumb, but I like the OMG section for trashy celeb gossip and the Shine section for food + lifestyle stuff. So, there.
- The Feminist Breeder. LOVE this page. Gina's writing and honesty are great, and a few eff words never hurt anyone, right?
- I love sharing my food posts at 4littlefergusons and Foodgawker and am looking for some new places to do this. Sharing is caring, all that. Where should I be putting my stuff?
- For giggles, Buzzfeed, Text From Dog, and any selection of random slideshows that you guys tell me about on Facebook. Tell me more – I love to laugh.
- For healthy stuff, Eat 80/20 is fabulous, especially with my work with obese patients. LOVE this blog. I think sometimes I accidentally eat 20/80, so working on that.
So what else? There are a few other sites that I'm a sometimes hitter-upper, but these are my daily bread kinda stuff.
I want more. Introduce me to your favs. Also, suggestions for sharing our site with others? I feel a need for even more people to be subjected to my oversharing.
Have a GREAT weekend, friends. You deserve it. I'm going to call in sick to everything and just troll the internet for 3 days. Starting now. TELL ME WHAT TO TROLL.

Seattle's best neighborhoods for families
A community ranking site weighs in on Seattle's family-frienly 'hoods.
Seattle's famous for being home to more dogs than kids, but there are family-friendly areas of the city, as well.
(And who's to say the pooch isn't family?)
Community ranking site Niche has weighed in on Seattle's best neighborhoods for families and we give you their top 25.
Niche accounted for a neighborhood's crime rate, access to libraries, day cares and schools, and how good of a a place it is to buy a home, among several other factors.
Some of the neighborhoods may not be familiar to you -- Niche evaluated micro-neighborhoods that might more commonly be known as just a section of a larger neighborhood. You probably know Loyal Heights as just a part of Ballard, or places like Gatewood and North Admiral as West Seattle.
If you're looking for a top-notch family-friendly neighborhood according to Niche, you're going to need a lot of money to buy property in those areas. Apparently swanky equals family-friendly. You'll see.
Check out Niche's results in the gallery.
