Abstract: A potted plant turntable including a base and a rotating dish. The rotating dish supports a potted plant which may be rotated with the dish to allow more even exposure of the plant to sunlight. The dish rests on a bearing collar of the base and may be manually rotated or driven by a motor. Drainage holes are spaced from the center of the dish and for many embodiments spaced radially inwardly from an outer edge.

Abstract: A trellis has a first ring circumnavigating a container, such as a level of pockets of a vertical gardening system. The first ring can be connected with arms to the container and one or more second rings can extend upwardly from an uppermost first ring to connect to second ring(s) which can extend above the first rings, possibly parallel thereto, and extend the second rings above the first rings and container.

Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for utilizing the two-part nature of HDFS protocol communications received in a non-native HDFS environment to use discriminative information learned in the NameNode request to make the client experience more efficient. NameNode requests can be received by any node among a cluster of nodes. It can be appreciated that in some non-native HDFS, clients can communicate with any nodes among a cluster to perform transactions and need not first communicate with a NameNode. Thus, upon receiving a NameNode request, the non-native HDFS Cluster of Nodes can prefetch data necessary from stable storage to cache memory for efficient reads and/or writes, allocate space on disk for writes, assign the client to communicate with a specific node among the cluster of nodes based on available cluster resources, etc. In this sense, a more efficient client experience can be offered for HDFS clients within a non-native HDFS environment.

Abstract: The application relates to methods of treatment and treatment regimens for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and the conditions, manifestations, and diseases caused by AATD, by the administration of one or more expression-inhibiting oligomeric compounds having a nucleobase sequence complementary to a coding sequence in the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT or AAT) gene that inhibits the expression of the AAT gene, in combination with one or more autophagy enhancing agents that enhance and/or induce the endogenous autophagy mechanism to facilitate and encourage clearance of polymerized mutant AAT protein accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes.
