In my case, when I did lose a drive a couple months after building a 4 drive RAID 10 in DU. You can kinda get DU to build you a RAID 10, but I tried that once, and will not try it again. Honestly, if you are doing RAID 0 or RAID 1, it doesn't really matter too much. using SoftRAID.Īttached: AJA, BlackMagic and Terminal dd command displays/outputs for using Apple’s DU for RAID-0. I guess I will use the same testing procedure for the Sonnet/Samsung RAID-0 comparison and I suspect there will little variance using the Apple’s DU vs. This limited testing showed me there was little performance difference using DU or SoftRAID for RAID-0. So the dd command was showing slightly better write & read rates compared to AJA & BlackMagic. This was done such that the kernel File buffer cache was being cleared using ’sudo purge’ between runs to avoid reading from the RAM file cache. I ran a serious of dd writes & reads using different transfer block sizes from 512 bytes up to 262144 bytes, and for file sizes ranging from 10.5 MB up to 5.37 GB and the best write rate was some 583 MB/s and for reads the best was 510 MB/s. No matter, the take-away was there was little difference between using DU vs. The BlackMagic rates for writes were quite bad but the reads were close to what AJA displayed (does BlackMagic avoid using the kernel file buffer cache?). The AJA data rates came out to be around 518 MB/s for writes and a bit less at 490 MB/s for reads, using 1GB file sizes. Using AJA and BlackMagic I found little difference between using DU and SoftRAID. ![]() In each case I set the RAID-0 transfer block size to 128Kb. The TB4m was directly attached to the MBP using Apple's USB-C-to-TB2 adapter.Īfter configuring these 4x BarraCuda drives as RAID-0 using both DU and SoftRAID I used AJA, BlackMagic Disk Test and the Terminal command dd to establish some data rates for each. I ran the tests under Catalina 10.15.3 (Build 19D49f) on my late 2016 15" rMBP13,3. The 5TB disks were freshly erased and formatted as HFS+. With this unclear issue of which is best, DU or SoftRAID, I’ve spent a limited amount of time to see just what the differences are configuring RAID-0 on a set of 4x 5TB 2.5” Seagate BarraCuda 5400 RPM spinning disks in an OWC Thunderbolt 2 mini 4 enclosure (TB4m). I’m unclear what the basis is for this claimed 85%. In some articles I’ve read there’s mention that SoftRAID offers as much as 85% better RAID-0 performance than for DU’s RAID-0. SoftRAID for configuring RAID-0 for our MP7,1’s internal/external units in particular our Sonnet PCIe card with its 4x Samsung SSD/Flash blades. Today, I’m wrestling with the use of DU vs. The prospect of configuring RAID-5 using SoftRAID appealed to me for protecting against a single drive failure. I’ve been using Apple’s Disk Utility (DU) for ages and purchased a SoftRAID full license in Dec 2015 to handle RAID sets beyond what DU offered. Shall I run the diskwarrior again? If this takes a long time (I have 40tb) would it be more beneficial to replace the dead drive instead, as a rebuild will take less time (therefore less time on the predicted drive fail)? Or shall I give up and take this to a data recovery service? I worry about the time, as my drive was copying off files fine before I started the validation.Subject: Pros & Cons using Apple’s Disk Utility vs. I tested with another computer and cable and it didn't disconnect, so I suspect the cable/ and or laptop. It seemed like the raid was the cause, so I stopped diskwarrior then tested my second raid (thetas healthy) with the same laptop and cable, and it was doing this as well. I rang support line, and they said to run disk warrior, but when I started this during the step 5- looking for directories, the raid turned on and off a couple of time randomly. One drive has failed, and the second drive has predicted failure. You can let the validate complete, but do not do anything else.ĭid you indicate you do not see your files/folders when you open the volume? ![]() (you must have had some event which remounted the volume, usually a restart) ![]() The error is a Finder error, saying the volume directory was damaged, macOS attempted to auto mount it, and it is mounted read only. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Aluminum parabolic reflector![]() Very easy to transport, compatible with ALL Telinga handles and models. Foldable V2 Dish - The V2 version of the famous foldable Telinga parabolic dish. Effectively designed to prevent wind turbulence inside the dish. Hi-Wind Cover - A large durable fleece windshield which offers extra wind protection for all Telinga dishes and models. ![]() Includes: Soft Case - To carry one complete Telinga foldable parabolic dish. Since you can access both the microphone holder and dish from behind the setup you may place a miniature microphone or even two, one inside the Zeppelin holder and another mounted to the edge of the dish. The most effective way to use a range of different microphones - switched in seconds, on location without using any necessary tools. The Telinga Universal MK2 kit is a complete parabolic dish system for your own microphones, easily mounted in the included Zeppelin holder with the mic facing the dish (cardioids & omnis) or outwards of the dish (omni mics only). ![]() but that's just me.Telinga Microphones Universal Parabolic Reflector MK2 Kit If I had the budget for a Telinga, I would seriously consider a Marantz 660 + Sennheiser ME67/K6 combination. It rarely gets used: I can ask around to see if anyone thought it was useful or not. We have a mount somewhere in a cupboard in the lab. I do absolutely nothing to minimize handling noise other than stand still. I have broken a Telinga parabola (I still shudder): it was easier than I thought. I think that simply because of their form, they are more field durable than the Telingas. I'm unaware of any problems with any of them yet. My pair have been taken to Madeira and the Azores in cool, wet (but rarely p***ing rain) conditions dragged around the forests etc. Most have been abused by masters and undergraduate students, in Holland, often in wet conditions. We have around 5-6 k6/ME67 combinations in the lab, from 2-5 years old. I can do a test recording for you if you like, but I honestly find this difficult to answer. ![]() I also have lousy recordings from within a fir plantation in a breeze at no more than 15m. In perfect conditions (a bird at the top of the hedge on a beautiful cool early morning miles away from any traffic), I've made a nice recording from. I never know exactly how to answer this because conditions matter so much more than equipment, in my experience. More about the microphones: effective range. They can be had for around $450 in the States (you also have to shell out for a 1GB compact flash card). They are fantastic little machines, and contra what I thought, they also have the 2sec pre-record function too. Wrt recorders: we just got the smaller Marantz recorders today (pmd-660). I'm a lousy birdwatcher, but I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any crossbills I'm afraid not: nearly all my fieldwork in recent years has been on the Atlantic Islands (Azores, Madeira, Canaries). I think you can buy shotgun style microphones quite reasonably too, since several manufacturers make them (caveat: I've only ever used Sennheiser, but they are pretty expensive - my set up costs about $400). I think that Telingas may possibly provide you with a louder recording than a good shotgun microphone, but to be honest, I've found the recording quality of the various set-ups I've used indistinguishable (however, I work mostly on chaffinches, which sing quite loudly!). You can buy these fabric sheets that you pull across the front of the parabola, but if it was a bit breezy, I often found that this cover would bang into the microphone (horrible noise), and the cover made the whole apparatis catch in the wind, and move around (more noise). Shotguns are much less obtrusive.ģ) I have always found controlling wind noise on parabolas more difficult than with shotguns. If you ever want to take the parabola on a fieldtrip, it can be a real pain, and I even had a Telinga parabola cracked on one journey.Ģ) More importantly, when you turn around and wave something that large at a bird, it is more likely (in my subjective opinion) to shut-up. Reflector, Light Parabolic Reflector, Radar Tow Target, Type A - 1 ( Spherical ) 40826 Reflector, Taxi Strip and Runway, Type B - 1 ( Supersedes. They are a pain to carry around, and get caught up on branches all the time. To be quite honest, I prefer the shotgun style microphones. I have been lucky enough to use Telinga parabolas and top-of-the-line and middle-of-the-line Sennheiser shotgun microphones at work to record birds. This fact was demonstrated by Ley et al, 9 who showed that the gut microbiota of their study’s mice were closely related to that of their mothers, implicating kinship as a factor in the determination of the composition of the gut microbiota. 8 It is believed that the initial gut colonization is instrumental in shaping the composition of the adult’s gut microbiota. ![]() 7ĭuring the first year of life, the composition of the gut microbiota is relatively simple and shows wide interindividual variations. Infants who were delivered through cesarean section showed reduced microbial numbers in the gut at 1 month when compared with those who were delivered vaginally, although these differences do not remain detectable at 6 months of age. This process influences the development of an infant’s intestinal microbiota, which show similarities to the vaginal microbiota of his or her mother. As a neonate passes through the birth canal, he or she is exposed to the microbial population of the mother’s vagina. The infant’s intestines are believed to be sterile or contain a very low level of microbes at birth, 6 but the GIT is quickly colonized during and after delivery. Microbial colonization of the human gut begins at birth. In the first part of this review, we evaluate our evolving knowledge of the development, complexity, and functionality of the healthy gut microbiota, and the ways in which the microbial community is perturbed in dysbiotic disease states the second part of this review covers the role of interventions that have been shown to modulate and stabilize the gut microbiota and also to restore it to its healthy composition from the dysbiotic states seen in IBS, IBD, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atopy. Imbalance of the normal gut microbiota have been linked with gastrointestinal conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and wider systemic manifestations of disease such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and atopy. The human gut microbiome and its role in both health and disease has been the subject of extensive research, establishing its involvement in human metabolism, nutrition, physiology, and immune function. These human digestive-tract associated microbes are referred to as the gut microbiome. I am NOT looking forward to that, and the opportunity for errors gets much larger.The bacterial cells harbored within the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) outnumber the host’s cells by a factor of 10 and the genes encoded by the bacteria resident within the GIT outnumber their host’s genes by more than 100 times. Which would mean periodically having to delete a 30 GB brain, and then restore a 30 GB Brain. That wouldn't be possible if having to restore from a compressed backup. Periodically we simply synchronize FROM the hard drive to the second TeamBrain computer, and get all the thought icons back. We're using TeamBrain, and TeamBrain doesn't actually sync correctly between computers (in our case thought icons usually disappear along the way). With TB8 we use Foldermatch to synchronize TO a hard-drive the relevant directories to keep the backup up to date, and it does a very good job.Ģ. With a 30+ GB brain, doing a full back-up is, I suspect, a painstaking process (I'm not in TB9, so I don't know). Is it now impossible to back up TB9 via any kind of "copy this directory" command, as we could with TB8? Here's why that matters to me:ġ. ![]() Recent postings by Harlan remind me of something that came up a while back.

11/22/2023 0 Comments Baby sunscreen recallExperts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention share that benzene can greatly damage your immune system over time by triggering white blood cell irregularity or anemia. Scientists have long discerned that repeated benzene exposure can be damaging to your health. Rather, experts in the field have indicated that benzene in sunscreen may simply be a byproduct of the production and manufacturing process. It's unclear how benzene ended up being traced back to sunscreens, including Coppertone's products, given that it's not an active ingredient in the production process. Johnson & Johnson, Aveno and Neutrogena issued recalls earlier this year after independent testing found benzene in over 50 different products. Good Housekeeping previously explored how benzene, a flammable, colorless chemical that has a slight sweet perfume, ended up in a slew of popular sunscreens. In a statement to the FDA, Coppertone officials have indicated that they haven't received "any reports of adverse events related to this recall" prior to when the recall had launched, a similar precaution that other beauty and skincare brands took earlier this year. Customers can also contact 1-88 with questions or concerns during weekday business hours. The brand is directing any impacted customers over to a special website to request a refund for any of the five implicated products.

According to the announcement, the sunscreen in question was made on a range of dates between January 10 and June 15 the products were also later distributed in a timely fashion, meaning consumers likely purchased them earlier this year.

Finish eating three hours before you go to bed. When you're standing, or even sitting, gravity alone helps keeps acid in the stomach, where it belongs. Drink flat water instead of sparkling water. They make you burp, which sends acid into the esophagus. If you eat any of these foods regularly, you might try eliminating them to see if doing so controls your reflux, and then try adding them back one by one. We've evolved from the days when you couldn't eat anything.īut there are still some foods that are more likely than others to trigger reflux, including: People with acid reflux were once instructed to eliminate all but the blandest foods from their diets. If it fits into your schedule, you may want to try what is sometimes called "grazing" - eating small meals more frequently rather than three large meals daily.

However, many people can improve their symptoms of GERD through self-care and lifestyle changes. In some cases, you might need medicines or surgery. If not treated, GERD can lead to more serious health problems.

Acid reflux can cause sore throats and hoarseness, and may literally leave a bad taste in your mouth. The medical term for this process is gastroesophageal reflux the backward flow of acid is called acid reflux. That's the muscle that controls the passage between the esophagus and stomach, and when it doesn't close completely, stomach acid and food flow back into the esophagus. But if you've had these symptoms for a while, they might be caused not by a virus but by a valve - your lower esophageal sphincter.
