title: Joining the dots for lung cancer patients

text:
When Advanced Practice Nurse Lim Wen Ting saw the photograph of her patient in his living room with his pet dog by his side and looking happy despite having two tubes draining fluid out of his lungs, she knew she had done the right thing.
The patient suffered from stage four lung cancer and was always breathless, panicky and anxious in the ward. He wanted to fight the disease but was too weak for further treatment. Wen Ting spent a long time helping him come to terms with his condition. When he asked to go home, she worked with the palliative and hospice home care teams to arrange his discharge from the hospital.
Lung SDDC: A multi-disciplinary team approach
Helping lung cancer patients manage their end-of-life journey is only one part of what Wen Ting does as part of her duties in the SingHealth Duke-NUS Lung Centre (Lung SDDC).
One of seven SingHealth Duke-NUS Disease Centres, the Lung SDDC is a model of care using a team approach to patient management. Patients with complex lung cancer usually need different outpatient consultations, diagnostic scans, biopsies and treatments at multiple subspecialties at the Singapore General Hospital, National Cancer Centre Singapore and National Heart Centre Singapore. It is a complicated journey for patients to understand and navigate on their own.
"Some patients want to fight the disease until their last breath, while others accept their illness and want to spend their remaining time with their family."
The Lung SDDC attempts to link up the journey in the back end. Cardiothoracic surgeons, respiratory medicine physicians, pathologists, oncologists and radiologists that make up the Lung Cancer Tumour Board review these patients early, even before their diagnosis is confirmed.
If needed, different diagnostic tests are scheduled concurrently and their results presented to the Tumour Board for a coordinated decision. This way, less time is wasted, patients make fewer trips to the hospital and start their treatment earlier.
What is Wen Ting’s role?
To close the loop between physicians and patients, Wen Ting was roped in to the Lung SDDC in October 2016 to assist patients and provide reassurance.
She attends the weekly Tumour Board meeting and learns the conditions and plans for these patients. This allows her to start familiarising herself with these patients at an early stage of their healthcare journey.
“Sometimes I need to contact the patient after a meeting to inform them of changes or help them make appointments. Because our contact start early in the patients’ care journey, I can build rapport with them,” she shared. If patients are subsequently warded, they will have a familiar name to look for.
Above: A multi-disciplinary team meet at the SDDC's Tumour Board to discuss and recommend treatment processes for their patients.
“When patients are recommended tests or treatment by their doctors, they usually have a lot of questions on their mind but may not voice them out. This is where I offer my help,” she added.
Wen Ting spends a lot of time getting to know each patient, understanding their expectations and needs, explaining the plans to them, and helping them address their concerns and fears. Besides the doctors, she works with other healthcare professionals, patients’ family members and social workers to meet the patients’ needs.
Thinking back to the patients she had managed under the Lung SDDC, Wen Ting, who has served thirteen years as an oncology nurse, concluded,
“Some patients want to fight the disease until their last breath, while others accept their illness and want to spend their remaining time with their family. Regardless of their decision, I feel content to have made their healthcare journey less stressful and more comfortable.”

Justice for All, a pro-life group that considers all abortions “” selfishness fueled by ignorance,”” caused quite a stir on campus this week when it erected giant posters of aborted fetuses on the UA Mall to create a “”dialogue”” about the abortion debate. While the group’s dedication to real dialogue is questionable (one wonders how they would respond to giant posters depicting the horrors of women who attempt abortions themselves with clothes hangers, as many had to resort to before Roe v. Wade), the shocking displays at least spurred debate on a campus that has seen little contention since the peculiar preaching of “”Brother Jed.”” For raising the level of public discourse, even if it was decidedly one-sided, the Justice for All display gets an Incomplete.
The political world breathed a collective sigh of relief Wednesday when Sen. John Kerry announced that he would not run for president in 2008. Why the Massachusetts senator thought he even deserved a second chance is still unknown, but Kerry’s latest decision at least spares us from having to tell him he doesn’t (again). For now, Kerry seems content to drearily walk the halls of the Senate, out of harm’s way (and, hopefully, where he can’t do much harm). For that, he deserves the thanks of the American people, and a very grateful Pass.
Just as you don’t win flies with vinegar, one would think that you don’t win ticket buyers with obnoxious spamming (even if it is part of a new “”blitz marketing strategy””). For people who haven’t checked their e-mail in the last week, the Zona Zoo Crew rankled students over the weekend when it sent 13 e-mails to Zona Zoo pass holders, worried for some reason that students wouldn’t buy tickets to one of the most highly anticipated games of the season. To make matters worse, the Crew apologized without apologizing Wednesday, saying that the flurry of emails was directly responsible for the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill game selling out. For apparently missing the obvious correlation between sellouts and, well, the prospect of a good game, the e-mail-happy Zona Zoo Crew gets a Fail.
The term “”winter break”” is something of a misnomer here in the Old Pueblo, where average temperatures during the winter months rarely dip low enough to warrant real winter-wear. So it was hardly surprising that the brief flurry of snow over the weekend was met with such glee – it was, after all, something of a novelty. For giving UA students something to smile (and call home) about, Tucson’s dusting of snow gets an enthusiastic Pass.

title: Wildflower wednesday downy skullcap

text:
Our WW star is a lovely member of the mint/Lamiaceae family. You can see it cuddling with Echinacea purpurea in the above photo. While it has many of the characteristics of mints, I've never found it to be an aggressive spreader. That's disappointing. I wish it would seed about and add its lovely lavender to the shadier parts of the garden.
Scutellaria incana does have characteristic mint family square stems and opposite leaves. The stems are covered with fine white hairs, thus downy in the common name. It starts blooming in July in my mid south zone 7a garden/habitat. I don't usually remember to deadhead (I don't want to risk losing the seedheads), but, I have read that it will often rebloom. In the wild it's seen in open
woods, slopes and along streams. Well drained soil, either moist or dry, seems to be its preferred growing condition, but it does tolerate sandy, clay, and poor soils. Once established it's tolerant of heat and drought. Which makes this gardener very happy, since we usually have a long hot, dry summer.
fused upper petals form the hood of monkshood |
The numerous blooms are held in racemes at both the top of the stems and in the upper axils. Flowers are the perfect size for bumbles and small bees (which climb into the flower looking for nectar and pollen). The lavender-blue flowers have white markings on the lower petals and the two upper petals are fused together to form a hood or cap, thus the common name skullcap.
If you're looking for it on a woodland walk watch for the opposite leaves that are mat green, edged with rounded teeth. The leaves are not tiny at 4-1/2 to five inches in length by about two inches
in width. Don't forget to look for the white hairs on the square stems. If it's in flower the fabulous hooded flowers will be easy to spot.
aren't they fabulous |
After bloom the cool and decorative seedheads will grab your attention. "In fact, it is the interesting, curved structure of the seed capsule that gives this species the name Scutellaria, which is derived from the Latin word scutella, meaning "saucer or shallow dish." Additionally, the common name "skullcap" comes from the resemblance of the calyx to a miniature helmet or cap." (source)
Good companion plants in my garden/habitat are Echinacea purpurea, almost any of the ex-Asters, Blephilia ciliata, Spigelia marilandica, and native ferns. It's happy underneath Hydrangea arborescens species and cultivars.
You might consider planting it with Coreopsis, Rudbeckia hirta and Asclepia tuberosa for a brilliant display. The bees will be ecstatic. You will, too.
I love everything about this plant. It's easy to
grow, the long bloom time, the incredibly pretty lavender hooded flowers
and the developing seedheads. It's charming. The only problem is that
it's not sold in most nurseries. You can find it on line or at a native plant nursery near you. If you're in middle Tennessee call GroWild Native Plant Nursery to see if it's available.
Reasons to search it out
- It thrives in a range of soil types and light levels
- Hardy to zone 5
- Reliable bloomer and should rebloom if dead headed
- Long lived
- Great looking flowers that attract bumbles and smaller bees
- Super cool seedpods
- Seems disease resistant
Thank you for stopping by and welcome to Clay and Limestone's Wildflower Wednesday
celebration. WW is about sharing and celebrating wildflowers from all
over this great big, beautiful world. Join us on the fourth Wednesday
of each month. Remember, it doesn't matter if they are in bloom or not;
and, it doesn't matter if we all share the same plants. It's all about
celebrating wildflowers. Please leave a link when you comment I am not using Mr. Linky at this time.

Movies Came Out In (1975)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – A masterpiece about a rebel that self checks into an insane asylum and tries to instill life/living into the patients. One of my favorites, and I love the book too.
Barry Lyndon – Ok, a Stanley Kubrick film that wasn’t completely weird/bizarre. The biggest beef that I had with the film was the length, clocking in at over 3 hours. It could have easily just been 2 hours. In fact, I could probably edit it in iMovie and lose none of the meaning/plot. It was pretty good/interesting, the scenery/costumes were pretty cool, and the music was decent as well. The plot involves an Irishman, of no stature, marrying an English widow and essentially taking over his place in society.
Dog Day Afternoon – Never one of my favorite films. Seems way longer than 2 hours. Just didn’t enjoy it. The plot sounds pretty interesting in that it’s a bank robbery turned into a hostage situation, but it doesn’t live up to the expectations in my opinion.
Jaws – I still have trouble swimming in the water thanks to this film. Yet, I still watch it multiple times a year. I find it a very compelling story (a shark terrorizes a New England sea town) and some great acting. Hard to explain but it’s one of my faves despite scaring the crap out of me.
Nashville – Gosh this was a strange movie. I never heard of it before my movie quest. It was super long (almost 3 hours), but a lot of that was just the actors/artists singing country songs. The political angle was interesting because the candidate had a lot of views which would be popular by today’s standards (even though the film is 40+ old). I didn’t hate the movie, but I didn’t love it either. The plot involves several storylines but mainly around a political convention which exposes some scandals and lies. Would I recommend watching it? Probably not.

title: Boston marathon bomber ordered to return 1400 coronavirus relief payment to victims for restitution

text:
Federal officials in Massachusetts have called for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to hand over the $1,400 COVID relief money and any other funds in his inmate trust account, to be put toward the more than $101 million he owes his victims.The motion, filed Wednesday by Acting U.S.Attorney Nathaniel R.Mendell for the District of Massachusetts, urges the court to allow the Bureau of Prisons to move all funds from Tsarnaev’s inmate trust account “as payment towards his outstanding criminal monetary penalties, including unpaid special assessment and restitution,” court records state.But records show Tsarnaev, who is currently being held at a maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado, has received over $21,000 since his time as an inmate.Some deposits were made by the Office of Federal Defenders of New York – which put in $11,230 from May 2016 to June 2021; by 35 individuals, including three people from New Jersey, Indiana and Maryland; and the United States government, which sent him a $1,400 COVID relief payment on June 22, 2021, the motion states.Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was sentenced to death in 2015 for the deadly 2013 attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.(FBI via Getty Images) Following his 2015 trial, Tsarnaev was ordered to pay $101,126,627 in criminal restitution and an additional $3,000 fee.As of Wednesday, he had paid only $2,202.03, which went toward the fee – and not toward the victims – in accordance with federal statutes, the document states.
Tsarnaev was convicted of 30 charges related to the 2013 bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
The blast killed three people and hurt over 260 others.Seventeen of the injured people lost at least one limb in the attack.Tsarnaev and his brother then led police on a multi-day chase, during which time Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier was shot and killed.Tsarnaev’s brother, Tamerlan, also died.Despite that records show Tsarnaev’s deposits were collectively worth $21,071.60, only about $3,885.06 remained in his inmate trust account as of Dec.

Most of mechanisms at the origin of cracking in concrete occur in the cement paste. Its microstructure evolves rapidly at early-age with the formation of hydration products, the decrease of the total porosity, the reduction of the pores size and the increasing of the tortuosity. The development of mechanical properties, the time-dependent behavior and the transport properties of concrete rely directly on the evolution of the cement paste microstructure. The objectives of this GP are to discuss the most relevant ways of modelling the microstructure development of cement pastes, report recent advances and make comparative reviews of models.
The large variety of cement, additions, etc. as well as the cost and time/devices required to the realization of experiments renders difficult to optimize the concrete mix regarding specifications (material properties, impact on global warming). Virtual testing is an interesting alternative. Starting from the description of the cement paste microstructure (GP2.a), upscaling of material properties must be undertaken up to the concrete scale. The objectives of this GP are to discuss the most relevant ways to deal with virtual testing, report recent advances and make comparative reviews of numerical strategies (analytical homogenization, finite element calculations, etc.).
The prediction of cracking in reinforced concrete structures depends not only on the material properties of concrete but also on the mechanical boundary conditions, climate conditions and geometry. Macroscopic models capable of describing time-dependent behavior, transport phenomena and cracking are thus required. This is important in order to optimize the materials and construction techniques and to interpret data in monitored structure in a relevant way. These types of multi-physics macroscopic models may be suitable for use in structural design offices (e.g. embedded into finite element software packages). The objectives of this GP are to discuss the most relevant ways to deal with macroscopic modelling, report recent advances and make comparative reviews of modelling strategies (balance equations, mechanics and thermodynamics of porous media, simplified approach, etc.).
Many degradation mechanisms are associated with the movement of ions through concrete. Therefore modelling of transport processes is essential to determine appropriate service-life of concrete structures. The anticipated outcome of this GP is to establish a recommendation for appropriate models for predicting transport properties of concrete and modelling approaches to simulate chloride transport through concrete. The specific goals of this GP are:
(a) establishing link between models at different scales starting from scale of cement paste microstructure (GP2.a) to determine the transport properties of concrete in conjunction to work of GP2.b;
(b) Using this links between microstructure and properties of concrete to simulate the chloride transport in concreto;
(c) testing predictability of different models for simulating lab scale and field scale chloride transport experiments.
A fundamental tool for assisting development, understanding and comparison of both micro-scale and macro-scale models mentioned in the aforementioned GPs are benchmarking tests. It will be possible to evaluate the relative performance of numerical simulation approaches and software (including research and commercial applications) applied to selected real examples of material and structural behavior. Both blind and subsequent non-blind stage of benchmarking have to be included, in relation to the round-robin testing realized in the WG1. The objectives of this GP are to develop relevant strategies for establishment of benchmark studies and compare/analyze the results of different participants in order to propose validation tests and recommendations.

title: Why have we published guidelines for osint

text:
As mentioned by Colette Cuijpers: “the fact that data are openly available does not mean that they can be processed without regard to legal and ethical standards. Put in other words, the mere fact that data are publicly available does not imply an absence of restrictions to researching them”
By Alexandre, EU DisinfoLab, 20 March 2023
With a constantly developing OSINT community and the lack of common standards among them, it has become increasingly clear to the authors of this document that it is time to create a framework comprising conceptions, methodologies, and good practices of how best to carry out their public-facing OSINT work.
With the support of an EU project aiming to establish a European Fact-Checking Standard Network (EFCSN), this group of public-interest-oriented OSINT practitioners established a working group to research and develop this set of Guidelines.
It is indeed impossible for a small group of practitioners to direct that all OSINT work, whether public or private, should adhere to these Guidelines. However, we do think the ethical framework and resources we have put together can assist to improve all types of OSINT methodologies, as we designed them to design an ethical framework for such activities.
These Guidelines have been produced by organisations conducting open source intelligence (OSINT)-based research for public interest in Europe. The organisations having participated in the redaction of those Guidelines are EU DisinfoLab, CheckFirst, Centre for Information Resilience, DFR Lab, Open Facto, OSINTCurious, and Logically.
We acknowledge that we do not represent the entire OSINT community nor the entire industry, but we hope to contribute to the growing literature in this field based on our organisations’ vast collective experience. These Guidelines apply to those engaged in public-facing OSINT work, which means investigative outcomes being displayed to a wide audience.
The objective of these Guidelines is not to propose a unilateral approach on how to conduct OSINT research and investigations, but rather to support organisations working in the public interest and outlining a common ethical framework for them to adopt or adapt based on their requirements.
These Guidelines are complementary to the local laws and regulations applicable to organisations.
We hope these Guidelines will launch a continuous and lively discussion on best practices and ethics in the OSINT community. We look forward to seeing the diverse community of stakeholders doing OSINT work to use these Guidelines and propose additional approaches on how we could all be doing better.

If you are dealing with cancer, I know exactly what to do.
I have thirty years of experience with thousands of success stories. My successes were reported in many media outlets; in addition, medical professors and doctors also benefit from my services.
My unique capabilities, as well as the energetic systems I have developed over many years can help you too.
Are you suffering from oncological problem?
Is your body struggling to recover?
It is a sign that the energetic fields in your body are blocked.
For years, Oren Zarif proved that as the energy blockades open, the body begins to create a healing process and returns to its strength. Thousands of patients testify about that. Many of those patients had suffered from oncological problems.
Therefore, it is important to open the body's blocked energy field channels for those patients who suffer from oncological problems. Only then, the body can cope with the existing problems and create a self-healing process.
With the unique method developed by Zarif over many years, and with his amazing capabilities, Zarif helped countless patients worldwide that had suffered from oncological problems
For 30 years Oren Zarif helped patients and sufferers around the globe who suffered from numerous and complicated problems
Oren Zarif became famous in all media channels in the country and worldwide throughout 30 years, among those channels: Sky News network, National Geographic and Fox network
If you are dealing with any kind of oncological condition, you have no reason to lose hope.
Leave your details here, and I will get back to you personally.
My treatment system receives custom approval procedures, and is delivered to each patient, anywhere around the globe.
The treatment is based on a completely energetic process, and is intended FOR EXTERNALUSE ONLY.
The reason that oncological conditions develop in the body stems from blockages in energetic channels, areas and conductors of the body.
Over many years, I have left even the most respected doctors, professors and scientists amazed, in front of my many successes with the most complicated
oncological cases from around the world.
My successes had been reported through several worldwide media channels.


title: Thai airways restructuring reaches 2024

text:
Thai Airways International (THAI) is aiming to finally emerge from its restructuring process later in 2024. This announcement comes after years of financial struggles triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite some ongoing challenges, THAI remains optimistic about its future. The restructuring process began in 2020 when the pandemic crippled air travel, causing a dramatic decline in revenue and a surge in debt.
THAI was forced to file for bankruptcy protection and undertook a comprehensive restructuring program to improve its financial health. This program involved a range of measures, including debt reduction, cost-cutting initiatives, and potentially route network adjustments. The goal was to streamline operations and create a more sustainable business model for the long term.
While THAI reported a net profit in 2023, its first in several years, the most recent quarter (Q1 2024) presented a mixed picture. The airline remained profitable, but profits were significantly lower compared to the same period in 2023. This decline is attributed to rising operating costs and a decrease in restructuring gains. Despite these hurdles, THAI maintains its focus on returning to a positive trading position. A key element of this strategy is a potential stock market relisting, seen as crucial for future growth and potentially attracting new investment.
The aviation industry's overall recovery is another positive factor for THAI. As passenger demand continues to climb, THAI hopes to capitalize on this trend and solidify its position as a leading carrier in the region. However, challenges remain. THAI must effectively manage ongoing costs and navigate a competitive aviation landscape. The airline's success hinges on its ability to leverage its restructuring efforts, optimize its operations, and capitalize on the rebounding travel market.


title: Urgent query writing an essay that gets things done

text:
Today, urgent essays really are a popular topic for each and every student’s head, because the just do my essay promo code exam results are about the 1 hand there’s not any space for delays and on the other hand it is at times tough to write essays in just a week. Thus, students may require urgent essays to manage their workload.
Every assignment assignment is the motive for this special urgency of documents. Some pupils find barbarous essays since their assignments are due in a couple weeks, but some pupils find urgent essays since they have something to incorporate in their papers, and they’ve not the time to complete them. All they should do would be to take one or two hours or so to research the topic and write a composition.
However, the main issue with essays is that they do not come when you would like them . You will believe that you need urgent essays to catch along with your assignment. However, that is not the only reason you feel that way. Even in case you believe that way, you still need to select the essential steps to improve your essay writing skills.
Urgent essays, as I have previously mentioned, are something which pupils use to satisfy their deadlines. But, there are different reasons why students prefer these. The very first reason is that you’re just asked to write two documents instead of a single. This means that you won’t have to waste time writing a very lengthy and dull essay, you can get it done within a couple weeks, so that there is less anxiety and you won’t overlook what you ought to write.
Another reason students enjoy urgent essays is they can now concentrate on what you really want to do. The primary benefit of this strategy is that you have the opportunity to let yourself enjoy what it is you’re doing, even if you are aware which you’re writing a paper. However, as a student it is very crucial that you stay focused on your homework.
An easy method to produce your urgent essays more meaningful would be to be more creative in their articles. It’s important that you consider that good essays should be written based on sound facts. Students should make certain that they have a strategy for the essay. As a matter of fact, this is essential since students usually do not have time to think about their programs.
Because essays are supposed to focus on difficult topics, it’s quite important that they are composed in a way people will get a clear picture about what the subject is about. One of the most usual strategies to create your urgent essays more effective is to include a summary at the end of the essay. Using this method, students will be able to learn a lot about the subject and they’ll remember your subject even after they are done reading your composition.
As a final note, you must remember that writing essays requires time and your personal level of fluency and writing skills will influence the amount of issue of your essay. Therefore, ensure you look closely at your own level of fluency and don’t become frustrated and toss into your essay due to your lack of writing abilities. Just try to follow essay mama discount code along with my recommendations and you will have a lot of excellent essays.

title: 9 tips for preparing a fabulous flower bed by steve asbell

text:
Dust off your vases, pitchers and mugs — your home will be overflowing with fresh-cut blooms in no time.
Have you ever ended up with a bed of dead flowers, mountains of mulch and a whopping garden center receipt? Let’s do something about that, shall we?
Get your gardening groove back with these nine tips.
1. Start with a clean slate
There are two kinds of flower beds: those that have been well-prepared and those that are covered in weeds.
Give your unplanted bed the once-over. Does it get enough sunlight? Does water tend to collect there? Have you removed all weeds, roots and rocks so your plants will thrive? It’s a lot easier to fix these problems now than it is once you’ve planted the flowers and laid the mulch.
2. Start seeds
Start a flower bed from seed to save money, raise unusual varieties and enjoy the satisfaction of having grown a whole garden from a handful of tiny seeds.
Since some seeds transplant poorly, check the packet and make sure you don’t have to sow directly in the ground. Start seeds in trays, pots or coir pots, using a seedling mixture, place them in a sunny spot, and transplant as soon as they have developed sturdy stems.
3. Prepare nursery plants
Nursery-grown bedding plants give you instant gratification, but the short time between purchase and planting is crucial to their survival.
Pack them closely in your car to avoid damage, and take them home immediately so that they don’t fry in your car during other errands.
Water nursery plants as soon as you get home, as often as necessary after that, and a few hours before planting to help their fragile roots survive the trauma of transplanting.
4. Get the winning edge
Even the most carefully planned border can look sloppy without a clearly defined edge. Avoid those inexpensive and quickly deteriorating edges made of plastic, and choose a more natural and long-lasting alternative.
The cheapest solution is to make a shallow trench around the bed with your spade and maintain it throughout the season. For something more refined and permanent, set an edge of brick, concrete or stone in leveling sand. The initial cost may be higher, but they will save you a lot of work and make mowing easier.
5. Plan for the seasons
Choose annuals if you plan on replacing them in a season or two, and plant perennials if you’d like them to last longer. Plant evergreen shrubs or ornamental grasses to provide structure and year-round interest.
Also consider the plant’s eventual height. Plant low-growing flowers (usually annuals) at the front of the bed where you can easily view them and replace them at the end of their season.
6. Give them space
Follow the guidelines on the seed packet or plant tag as closely as possible. An often overlooked factor is the amount of space to leave around each plant so they have room to grow. To cover a lot of ground quickly, choose spreading varieties like Superbells and climbing nasturtiums.
7. Dig the perfect hole
Dig each plant’s hole to be twice as wide as the original pot so the roots will have plenty of room to grow. To give them an even better head start, make a little trench around the inside of the hole so the roots will spread down and out.
This step isn’t necessary for annuals, since they won’t be around long enough to enjoy their strong root systems, but it is helpful if you have clay soil.
8. Plant it right
When planting transplants and nursery plants, always place them so that their crowns (where the plant meets the soil) are level with the soil in the bed. If the crown is above the soil level, the plant may dry out when soil washes away from the roots. If planted too low, soil will settle around the crown and rot the plant.
Push the soil around the transplant and firmly tamp it in place with a trowel so no gaps are left between the roots.
9. Mulch mindfully
Mulch is essential for conserving moisture and preventing weeds, but one inch is all you need. Established garden beds don’t even need mulch because the plants themselves are capable of protecting the soil.
Avoid landscaping fabric, since it actually keeps moisture from percolating into the soil. Instead, lay down sheets of newspaper before mulching.
Mulches vary by region, but whichever kind you use, follow this one rule: Don’t ever pile it up against the plants. They’ll rot in no time, and you’ll soon have nothing more than an ugly bed of mulch in their place.

What if My Child Refuses Parenting Time with My Ex-Spouse?
If you are a parent who is divorced or legally separated, you are likely familiar with the court-approved parental responsibilities you and your ex may have spent hours trying to resolve. A parenting plan is a legal document that outlines child-related issues such as with whom your child will live, who has decision-making authority regarding issues such as children's education and medical care, and more. Unfortunately, your child may not be too happy about the decisions made during your divorce, and they may state that they do not wish to spend parenting time (visitation) with your ex-spouse. However, even if your child is reluctant to spend time with his or her other parent, you will be required to follow the parenting time schedule set down in the parenting plan, and you may face penalties for failing to fulfill the court's orders.
The Reasons Behind the Refusal
Understanding why your child does not want to visit the other parent is the first step in addressing the issue. During this time, it is important to keep these tips in mind:
Listen and respect your child’s thoughts and feelings.
Do not use their emotions against them.
Avoid making derogatory comments about your child’s other parent.
After your child has expressed his or her feelings, you may want to look at your own behavior. Have you been bad-mouthing the other parent in front of your child? Do you get agitated prior to the other parent’s visitation time? It can be possible that your behavior has played a role in your child's attitudes toward spending time with the other parent. You will want to encourage your child to have a positive relationship with both parents, and you can help them understand that spending time with his or her other parent can be beneficial. Let your child know that you are supportive of him or her spending time with your ex-spouse.
Your Legal Obligation
Under Illinois' divorce laws, each parent must follow the parenting time orders defined in their divorce decree. Whether your child’s resistance to visitation is brand-new or has been an ongoing issue for quite some time, it is important to keep your child’s other parent in the loop. In some cases, you may need to review and modify your current parenting plan. Allow your child to have a say as long as he or she is able to express himself or herself and mature enough to participate in making important decisions.
In addition, if there are any issues that affect your child's safety, these must be addressed. If the other parent is doing something that is truly harmful to your child, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, contact law enforcement immediately. You will not face penalties for disobeying your parenting time order if you have physical evidence to support the claim that your child may suffer harm during visitation with the other parent. You should be sure to work with an attorney to bring these matters before the court and ask for a modification of your parenting time agreement to protect your children's best interests.
Contact a Wheaton Family Law Attorney
In Illinois divorce cases, one parent is typically awarded the majority of the parenting time. In certain scenarios, a child may refuse to spend time with his or her other parent for various reasons. If you are unsure how to proceed in this type of case, contact a knowledgeable DuPage County parenting time lawyer from A. Traub and Associates, and we will explain your rights and options and help you resolve any child custody disputes. Call us today at 630-426-0196 to schedule a private consultation.

title: Dental implants

text:
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist - a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!
Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years. On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
Reasons for dental implants:
Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
Restore a patient’s confident smile.
Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
Restore or enhance facial tissues.
Support a bridge or denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
What does getting dental implants involve?
The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.
X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.
After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.
If you have questions about dental implants or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact our office.


title: Berenberg launches first real estate private debt fund

text:
Germany's oldest private bank Berenberg is launching its first real estate private debt fund, joining a list of alternative financiers moving into the space traditionally occupied by the classical real estate financing banks.
This fund is primarily aimed at professional and semi-professional investors, with the Hamburg-based Berenberg partnering up with Universal-Investment Luxembourg as alternative investment fund manager.
The fund should enable investors to make broadly diversified investments in senior secured real estate financing, by covering under-exploited financing niches and deals with more complex structures. Subscriptions will start from a mid-single-digit million amount.
Strongly in focus will be land acquisitions, project developments, and existing, interim or leasehold financing of residential and commercial properties. Lending will be on the basis of first-ranking collateral, with low to moderate loan-to-value ratios in the established European markets.
Dieter Duncker, Berenberg's head of real estate finance, said investors would benefit from the bank's extensive experience in the sector. "By exploiting financing niches, assisting with complex financing structures and drawing on our experience in real estate finance, investors can achieve attractive returns while maintaining a conservative risk profile", he said.
His colleague Lars Hagemann, head of structured finance at the bank, added: "The optimal dovetailing of our real estate and structuring expertise will help in implementing innovative new approaches such as the introduction of super senior loans in real estate financing. Berenberg has already successfully established this loan structure for corporate financing."
The new debt fund complements a range of closed-end debt funds launched since 2016, by which Berenberg extends direct loans in the area of corporate financing, ship mortgage loans and financing for renewable energy and infrastructure products.

Ballet is a very enriching experience for mind, body and spirit and it trains them to work in harmony. While the music takes you into an emotional dimension, allowing you to explore your expressive side, the brain is trained to concentrate and take instructions to execute steps to music.
This improves your concentration, memory and confidence. Rigorous ballet technique improves your posture and balance, making the muscles leaner, strengthening the feet and core muscles and building stamina, while making you more flexible and graceful.
For me, as a teacher, it is a joy to help people discover their abilities and realize their potential as dancers, whether they are beginners or advanced students. My classes aim to inspire ballet lovers to experience for themselves the joy of dance in an encouraging and friendly environment, with the invaluable inspiration of live piano music.
I was born and educated in Italy, where I trained in Ballet and Contemporary Dance at Teatro Nuovo di Torino with Carla Perotti, Renata Justino and Susanna Campo.
I performed and choreographed, participating in various Dance Festivals, including Vignale Danza and Torino Danza. In 1997, I moved to London and I continued my ballet training with Anna Du Boisson, Mark Silver and Roger Tully. I qualified as a professional ballet teacher at the Royal Academy of Dance, studying with Holly Price. Alongside my independent adult ballet classes in Notting Hill, I teach for the English National Ballet School and the Viviana Durante Company. I am also a guest teacher in various dance schools in Italy. I study Duncan Dance for my personal development, which is a great source of inspiration in my classes.
Working with excellent musicians brings to life the dancing experience and creates an exciting atmosphere in class. In my teaching, I give absolute priority to musicality, therefore I love working with a team of very experienced and inspiring musicians, such as Javier Ferrero, Igor Mukhortov, Graeme Thewlis, Morgan Hayes, Andy Wass and Ben Socrates.
During the year, I organise master classes with very experienced guest teachers to give my students the opportunity to explore different styles of teaching and choreographing. I also organise regular residences in Italy.
All ballet classes are one and a half hours long and are divided in 3 parts:
10 minutes Duncan-inspired warm up to release tension
50 minutes thorough barre work
30 minutes centre practice
A slow pace class, focused on the foundation of classical ballet technique, ideal for absolute beginners or people with very little ballet experience.
This class is ideal for people with some knowledge of ballet/contemporary dance or people who want to reconnect with dance.
A more challenging class with barre work and centre practice which require strength and solid foundations of classical ballet technique.
Ballet-based training technique designed to strengthen the body and improve flexibility. Ideal for dance lovers at every level and to recover from injuries.
Private lessons and creative workshops by arrangement.
Alessandra's ballet classes are a highlight of my week. They have taught me discipline, self-expression and poise - all of which strengthen other aspects of my life.
Cynthia Scoville,Art Education Officer
A ballet class with Alessandra is pure joy! Your only focus during her class is following her beautiful, sometimes challenging movements and choreography to the gorgeous live piano music - body and brain simultaneously engaged. You leave her class feeling exhilarated, physically and spiritually.
Judi Robison,Art Historian
Alessandra's classes are a delight. She is the most wonderful teacher who takes a real interest in each of her students and delights in their progress at whatever level. Her teaching is very professional and, with the excellent live music, her classes are both instructive and hugely enjoyable.
Alessandra's classes are a true gem for beginners as well as returning dancers. She is lovely, professional and her passion for ballet is simply infectious.

Beatrix Potter: Drawn to nature
The Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A) in London is the world’s largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.27 million objects. It was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The museum is situated in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in an area known as ‘Albertopolis’ because of its association with Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial and the Royal Albert Hall.

The V&A have been delivering landmark temporary exhibitions for many years and I have had the privilege of viewing some incredible shows in their galleries including the record-breaking Alexander McQueen in 2015 and DIOR in 2019. Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature is currently on display in The Porter Gallery. This exhibition, perfect for all the family, is no exception and bares all the hallmarks of the V&A’s incredible attention to detail and customer experience focus, including immersive film, interactive exhibits, and feature rooms.
“Beatrix Potter was a ‘town mouse’ longing to be a ‘country mouse’. Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature invites visitors to follow her journey from Victorian London to the Lake District fells. Many will be familiar with the extraordinary legacy of Potter’s storybooks, but in this exhibition, they will discover how her talent at making her characters real emerged from a long-standing curiosity for the small details of nature, which could have led her down a different career path. We hope to inspire the next generation of artists and storytellers, but also natural scientists, conservationists, and farmers. Potter’s story shows that through talent, passion and perseverance, life can take unexpected twists and turns and great things can grow from inconsequential beginnings.” – Annemarie Bilclough, Frederick

The exhibition brings together two of the world’s largest Beatrix Potter collections, held by the V&A and the National Trust, to tell her life story. It includes rarely seen objects, including personal letters written throughout Potter’s life, alongside family photographs, early sketchbooks, manuscripts, and scientific drawings.
Artworks from some of her most famous storybooks, including The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck feature alongside objects, and sketches of the real-life animals, places, art, and literature that inspired them. I found viewing these artworks particularly poignant, as they took me back to an earlier time in my life. Images so familiar from the covers of the books we all had as children and the prints you often see decorating children’s nurseries.
The exhibition also explores Beatrix Potter’s passion for animals and the natural world, including her study of fungi and the legacy of her conservation work in the Lake District. Across four sections, the exhibition follows her journey from London to the Lake District, where she eventually settled. The first section, Town and Country, provides a backdrop to her childhood in South Kensington in London; Under the Microscope highlights her interest in natural science; and A Natural Storyteller reveals her almost accidental journey to becoming a best-selling author; finally, Living Nature follows her to the Lake District and celebrates her profound impact on the natural landscape.

“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with the V&A to shine a light on the full life and legacy of a remarkable, multifaceted woman. The National Trust is proud to care for the items and places which were special to Beatrix. From Hill Top, her traditional Lake District farmhouse filled with trinkets and furniture and still presented as it was in Beatrix’s lifetime, to the vast Monk Coniston estate and fourteen traditional Lakeland farms with their flocks of Herdwick sheep. Thanks to her pioneering conservation efforts and generous bequest of her homes, farms, and land to the National Trust, we’re able to continue her legacy caring for the landscape, traditions and Lakeland way of life that inspired Beatrix so they can continue to inspire others.” – Helen Antrobus, Assistant National Curator at the National Trust.
The exhibition, in The Porter Gallery, is open now and runs until 8 January 2023. I highly recommend you visit. You won’t be disappointed.

title: Nra endorses sean parnell for governor of alaska

text:
Fairfax, Va. – On behalf of our five million members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse Sean Parnell for reelection as Governor of Alaska.
Based on his leadership on Second Amendment issues, Parnell has earned an “A+” rating from the NRA-PVF in the 2014 general election. An “A+” is the highest possible rating and is reserved for elected officials with an excellent public record on critical NRA issues who have also made a vigorous effort to promote and defend the Second Amendment.
“As Governor, Sean Parnell has made it a top priority to protect and promote the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Alaskans,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF. “He signed a bill into law legislation expanding the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves in any place they have a legal right to be. Gov. Parnell is a strong defender of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Parnell also signed a bill into law improving the rights of carry permit holders in Alaska and has long supported hunting as a valuable tool for wildlife management and conservation. Additionally, he rejects expanded licensing and registration schemes and so-called “universal” background checks, which require federal government approval for transferring firearms between life-long friends and family members.
“We can count on Sean Parnell to stand up for our constitutional freedoms in Alaska,” added Cox. “On behalf of the NRA’s five million members, I want to thank Sean for his steadfast support of the Second Amendment and urge all NRA members, gun owners and sportsmen in Alaska to vote Sean Parnell for Governor on November 4.”
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. More than five million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services. Be sure to follow the NRA on Facebook at NRA on Facebook and Twitter @NRA.

Following-up to the earlier story about the failure of the first incarnation of the new site, it’s time to reflect on venturing back to a non-Apple Unix for the first time in a few years. I needed to leave OSX Server, so what to do? I could have just re-formatted the G4 Cube and installed plain Jane OSX. But before I rushed off to do so, I did a quick inventory of machines in the house.
Uhhhh … I need to simplify a bit. This is getting to be too much. Plus, the extra cash couldn’t hurt. The PIII was easily the least valuable of the Unix-capable machines. Well, maybe the 6300CD could be made to run a Unix, but please, no. The PIII it is. It seemed to make sense to use that and sell something else (more here).
I certainly had choice when thinking about X86-compatible Unix-like OSes. I’m most familiar with BSD, both because of my experience with one kind or another over the years and because of Apple’s use of BSD subsystem components in OSX. I had used OpenBSD for a firewall I built for Gobe Software back in 2001 (OBSD 2.8, I believe) and have always been attracted to the project’s overriding emphasis on security. I’d wager this is what draws most people to OBSD over other Unices. It seemed a logical choice.
If you have experience with Unix, I can strongly recommend you look at OpenBSD. Straightforward to install and set-up, great ports and packages collections and plenty of documentation. I’m surprised by its peppiness on the PIII, even doing all its internal encryption.
Some things that might take you unaware:
- Locations (e.g. there is no /etc/httpd). RTFM.
- chroot’ed apache. RTFM.
- Almost everything in a more secured mode. RTFM.
- The usual Unix platform eccentricities. RTFM.
Don’t get me wrong, this OS is rock solid thus far and has behaved 100% according to what I have asked it to do. It’s just learning the different dialect that can throw you. It’s thrown me at times. Oops.
I must admit it feels good to come back to a straight-ahead CLI interface with a server running Unix. Aqua may be nice and pretty and all, but I kinda felt a little dirty with a Dock and bouncy mp3 player icons on my server. It just seems, well, wrong. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned and not keeping up with today’s kids, but VT100 is good enough for a daemon box, goldurnit. It’s not some “I 4M 1337!” dickpull, it’s just this sense when I manipulate the server entirely from the commnd line that all is right with the world. I guess you have to be really nerdy to understand. Or something.
If you’re a Unix wonk, play with OpenBSD. It’s a fun experience, and one I’m only just beginning to realize I’ve missed. If you’re not so Unix savvy, start playing in OSX’s Terminal before you dive in. The water is clean, but chilly.

The Dangers of Not Caring for your Implants
If you were lucky enough to be a candidate for dental implants when you needed to replace your missing teeth, you have the benefit of having functional and beautiful teeth that mimic your natural teeth. Dental implants make it easy to eat, smile and talk with ease. They do not pose the threats that dentures pose, such as slipping while talking or eating or making embarrassing clicking noises.
They also allow you to eat whatever you want without worry about knocking them loose. One thing that many overlook, however, is the risk of not caring for your implants. Just because they are not "real" teeth does not mean that you cannot suffer damage as a result of not caring for them.
Infections can OccurThe benefit of dental implants is being able to have a root on the artificial tooth. The problem is, however, that infections can still occur in your gum tissue, which lies underneath the dental restoration. Whether you have implant supported dentures or a dental crown, there is still the risk of infection occurring underneath the restoration. The most common reason this occurs is because patients do not properly brush the areas where the implants lie. Instead, they assume because they are not real that infection will not occur. When food debris, bacteria, and tartar get stuck in the crevices of the restoration, infection occurs, which can knock an implant loose.
Implants can FailIn general, implants are a successful treatment, but if you have the bad habit of smoking, they can fail. There are many reasons that smoking is bad for your implants. On one hand, it makes it very difficult for your implants to even take in the first place. This is due to the inflammation that smoking causes to the gum tissue, making it very hard for the implant to fuse to the jawbone.
Because smoking makes it much harder for your soft tissues to heal after the surgery, it can make the implants fail before they ever had a chance to help you. If you are able to successfully obtain implants, starting to smoke after they are complete puts you at risk for disease and infection which can render the implants a failure.
How to Prevent Problems with your ImplantsThe best way to ensure that your implants stay strong and intact is to take care of them with regular brushing and flossing on a daily basis. In addition, you need to consider your diet. Your gum and bone tissue still needs adequate nutrients in order to stay strong. Think of the food that you consume and make sure that you brush your teeth as soon as you can after eating. In addition, coming in for regular checkups is crucial.
This is a step that many people avoid since they assume that they do not need a cleaning or check-up since their teeth are not real. In reality, a check-up is even more important for those with dental implants because of the risk of infection. If we notice an infection starting, we will help you to eliminate the infection and get back on the road to overall dental health.
If you have dental implants, we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep them clean. This means brushing, flossing, and eating a proper diet. If you are concerned about the integrity of your implants, talk to our office about what you can do to fix the situation. Your dental implants are meant to last for the duration of your life, but just like your natural teeth, if you do not care for them, they will not last!

title: Pumpkin scissors anime first impressions

text:
Pumpkin Scissors brings two of my favorite things together. 1: Pumpkins. 2: Scissors. Actually, this combination is about as bad as Nuts & Gum. But how does the anime fare?
So Pumpkin Scissors takes place three years after the ceasefire of a huge war. Since there’s so many soldiers that have been trained to fight, and no war to use their skills, the soldiers resorted to becoming thugs. It’s the Pumpkin Scissors’ job to take out these bullies and keep peace in the country.
The first thing I thought about when I heard about the plot is how this relates to my Political Science class I’m taking. We were studying how privateers eventually became pirates after the war had ended. And how terrorists are sort of related, except not really. Anyway, getting back to the anime review…
Oland is an ex-soldier who’s living off of pure asparagus. This town is also home to a bunch of renegade tank thugs codenamed Grauwolf. Luckily for the town, Pumpkin Scissors is on the case! When Alice and friends show up, they rush into town and demand that the tank guys stop terrorizing it. The tank guys respond by shooting a blank into the town. But it’s not really a blank, it’s a chemical round!
The good news is that there’s an antidote. The Pumpkin Scissors and Oland team up to beat the Grauwolf gang! Apparently, Oland is from the special anti-tank division (how convenient!) and has a blue lantern that makes him go into berserk super saiyan mode… Oland makes short order of the tank and is invited to join the Pumpkin Scissors brigade!
So this anime appears to be your average special forces war story. I’m guessing there’ll be a few episodes that are mission by mission, and then a final arc leading up to some grand finale. The characters seem interesting, though Oland looks like he’ll be the generic tough guy with a mysterious past. I like Alice, and the meganekko onna no ko with the dog is pretty cute too.
The animation quality is good, though I did notice the occasional bad CG with the tank. It’s done by Gonzo, I believe, so good animation is to be expected.
The OP reminds me of a .hack OP or something. I’m not too big of a fan. The ED is really really cute. Even the ED sequence with the dog delivering his message and checking out a French poodle is cute! It’s pretty awesome.
I really don’t have much time to watch anime this semester, so I’ll probably stick with the obvious wins. Pumpkin Scissors seems like a fairly solid anime, but there’s nothing that makes it seem more than above average.

title: How to load vinyl into silhouette cameo

text:
The best way to load vinyl or a cutting mat into a Silhouette cutting machine is to use both hands to ensure it loads - and then cuts - straight.
This was much more challenging to do prior to the still little known mat sensor on the Silhouette CAMEO 4, CAMEO 4 Plus, and CAMEO 4 Pro. Using this relatively new feature you can more easily load the mat and/or materials into the Silhouette CAMEO 4 machines so they cut straight! Read on for how...
Here's how the mat sensor basically works: The sensor is the small square found in front of the left roller on all of the Silhouette CAMEO 4 machines.
When you press the load button on the control panel it will flash and give you 5-7 seconds ...
...so you can hold the mat or material with the edge to the rollers (covering the mat sensor) using both hands, the sensor will then detect the mat or material, and then the rollers will feed in the material.
The reason this is important is because it allows you to use both hands - one on each side of your material - to hold the material straight and even as it's loaded.
When the mat loading sensor feature is not used you are forced into basically one of two situation:
- Try to hold the mat and material up to the rollers then stretch your pinky to the load button (not really possible to reach when using the CAMEO Plus or Pro
- Hold the mat with just one hand while you use the other to press the Load button
Both of these loading "techniques" risk the mat being loaded unevenly with one side, edge, or corner being loaded before the other and/or the left edge of the mat being loaded too far to the left or right.
When this happens the mat is loaded unevenly, therefore feeding through the rollers unevenly as it cuts, and ultimately risking coming out from under either of the rollers.
So to load vinyl into the Silhouette CAMEO 4 so it cuts straight...press the Load button FIRST then hold your mat or material up to the rollers with both hands and let the rollers feed it in evenly.
If you continue to find your right roller is coming off the edge of your mat or material, pull it in towards the center so even if the material slips slightly as it's cutting, the roller will continue to hold the material in place rather than slipping off the right edge.

This documentation is for a prior release of Kinetica. For the latest documentation, click here.
What is Kinetica?
Kinetica is a database, purpose built for real-time analytics at scale. Kinetica leverages vectorized memory-first architecture with kernels that have been custom built for over a decade to deliver blistering performance at scale on significantly less infrastructure than traditional data warehouses. Using a highly-distributed, lockless design, Kinetica enables simultaneous ingestion and analysis with integrated geospatial, graph, SQL, and AI/ML capabilities. With out of the box connectors for ingest and egress, native language bindings and a rich API ecosystem, developers can leverage the tools that they are comfortable and familiar with to build and deploy advanced analytical applications. With the rapid emergence of IoT applications and the exponential explosion of data volumes, architecture teams across every industry are searching for a more cost effective and performant means to manage and analyze that data - we suggest you start with Kinetica!
What type of data can be stored?
From a user's perspective, data in Kinetica is organized in a manner similar to a standard relational database management system (RDBMS). A Kinetica database consists of tables, each contained by a schema. The available column types include the standard base types (int, long, float, double, string, & bytes), as well as numerous sub-types supporting date/time, geospatial, and other data forms. The native API interface to the system is that of an object-based datastore, with each object corresponding to a row in a table.
What operations are provided?
Kinetica provides basic functionality to create tables, add rows, read rows, and delete rows. What really separates Kinetica is its specialized filtering and visualization functions. These functions can be performed through our native API or our ODBC/JDBC connectors, which are SQL-92, SQL-99, & SQL:2003 compatible. This allows users to integrate Kinetica with third-party GUIs and developers to quickly integrate existing code with Kinetica.
How it works
Kinetica has a distributed architecture that has been designed for data processing at scale. A standard cluster consists of identical nodes run on commodity hardware. A single node is chosen to be the head aggregation node.
Kinetica is designed to be highly scalable. A cluster can be scaled up at any time to increase storage capacity and processing power, with near-linear scale processing improvements for most operations. Sharding of data can be done automatically, or specified and optimized by the user.
Kinetica also connects seamlessly to a variety of other data processing and analytical frameworks, including Apache Spark, Storm, and NiFi.
Host management services allow the cluster to be brought up & down and to have its status monitored from a single node. Cluster management utilities allow all nodes to be upgraded, modified, & maintained from one location.

Introduction to Bepotastine and Sinusitis
As someone who has suffered from sinusitis, I understand how frustrating and painful it can be. The constant pressure, headaches, and congestion can be unbearable. That's why I was excited to come across a potential new treatment option called Bepotastine. In this article, I'll explore what Bepotastine is, how it works, and whether it's a viable treatment option for sinusitis.
Understanding Sinusitis: Symptoms and Causes
Before diving into the treatment options, it's important to understand sinusitis and its symptoms. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled cavities in the skull. This inflammation can lead to a variety of symptoms, including facial pain, pressure, congestion, headaches, and even fever. Sinusitis can be caused by a number of factors, such as allergies, viral infections, or bacterial infections. It's essential to identify the cause of your sinusitis in order to effectively treat it.
What is Bepotastine?
Bepotastine is an antihistamine drug that is commonly used to treat allergic conditions, such as hay fever, itching, and watery eyes. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance that is released in response to an allergen and causes inflammation. By inhibiting the action of histamine, Bepotastine can help to reduce inflammation and relieve allergy symptoms. This has led to the question of whether Bepotastine could be a viable treatment option for sinusitis as well.
How Bepotastine Works to Reduce Inflammation
As mentioned earlier, Bepotastine works by blocking the effects of histamine. This is important because histamine plays a significant role in the inflammation process. When histamine is released in response to an allergen or infection, it causes blood vessels to dilate and leak fluid into the surrounding tissue. This leads to swelling, redness, and itching. By blocking the action of histamine, Bepotastine can help to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with sinusitis.
Bepotastine for Allergic Sinusitis
While Bepotastine has not been specifically approved for the treatment of sinusitis, it may be effective for those whose sinusitis is caused by allergies. Since Bepotastine is an antihistamine, it can help to reduce the inflammation caused by an allergic reaction. This may be particularly helpful for people who suffer from seasonal allergies or are prone to sinusitis due to allergies. If you suspect that your sinusitis is caused by allergies, it's worth discussing Bepotastine with your doctor as a potential treatment option.
Potential Side Effects of Bepotastine
As with any medication, there are potential side effects associated with Bepotastine. Some common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue. These side effects are generally mild and may not be a concern for most people. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider. Additionally, Bepotastine may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking certain medications, so it's essential to discuss your medical history with your doctor before starting treatment.
Alternative Treatment Options for Sinusitis
If Bepotastine is not a suitable option for you, there are other treatment options available for sinusitis. Depending on the cause of your sinusitis, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications, such as decongestants, pain relievers, or antibiotics. In some cases, your doctor may also recommend using a saline nasal spray or a nasal corticosteroid to help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. It's essential to work with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
Conclusion: Is Bepotastine a Viable Treatment Option for Sinusitis?
Overall, Bepotastine may be a viable treatment option for sinusitis, particularly for those whose sinusitis is caused by allergies. Its antihistamine properties can help to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. However, it's important to discuss your symptoms and medical history with your healthcare provider before starting treatment with Bepotastine. They can help to determine if Bepotastine is the right option for you or if another treatment may be more appropriate. Remember, it's essential to find the right treatment plan for your specific needs in order to effectively manage your sinusitis and find relief from its painful symptoms.
