I am also considering a bootable RAID card for my Mac Pro. Are there any out there that are highly regarded among the competition without costing more than they're really worth? Like Raptors with hard drives?

The card in my link uses the SiL reference chip, and seeing as how SiL provides drivers on their site, it should work. The only question is wether you can boot or not with it. It's $30, so I'm ordering one to try.

I haven't seen a Mac Pro in person yet, but judging by the pictures, I'd say that given the way the hard drive bays are set up there would be no viable way to use those bays for a RAID array.

Click to expand...

That was my impression, too. The SATA connections are built into the drive bays; there's no way to route them to a different controller. I'd love to be wrong, though... A RAID5 setup in there would be fantastic.

Lesson: Understanding RAID and its benefits for primary through high school students

Introduction:
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology used to store data on multiple disks, providing increased performance, reliability, and capacity. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of RAID, how they work, and their benefits.

Section 1: What is RAID?
RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to work as a single storage device. It combines the storage space of multiple disks and distributes the data evenly across them. This improves the performance of the system, as the data can be accessed faster and more efficiently.

Section 2: Types of RAID
There are several types of RAID, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The most common types are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6.

- RAID 0: This type of RAID stripes data across multiple disks. It provides the highest performance, as it writes data simultaneously to all disks. However, if one disk fails, all data is lost.

- RAID 1: Also known as mirrored RAID, this type of RAID writes the same data to two or more disks. If one disk fails, the data is still available on the other disk(s). It provides high reliability but at the cost of half the storage capacity.

- RAID 5: This type of RAID uses parity to distribute data across multiple disks. Parity is a mathematical algorithm that calculates the differences between data blocks. If one disk fails, the data can be reconstructed from the remaining disks using the parity information. RAID 5 provides both high performance and high reliability, but at the cost of some storage capacity.

- RAID 6: This type of RAID is similar to RAID 5, but it uses two parity calculations instead of one. This provides additional protection against disk failures and can handle up to two disk failures without losing data.

Section 3: Benefits of RAID
The benefits of RAID include improved performance, increased reliability, and greater storage capacity. By combining the storage space of multiple disks, RAID can provide faster access to data and prevent data loss due to disk failures.

Section 4: Practical Examples
Let's consider a scenario where a business needs to store large amounts of data. They could use RAID 5 or RAID 6 to increase the reliability of their data storage while still having access to high performance. For example, they could use four hard drives in a RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration to create a single storage device with a total capacity of 8 terabytes. If one disk fails, the data can still be accessed from the remaining disks, and the system can continue to function without interruption.

Conclusion:
In summary, RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to work as a single storage device, providing increased performance, reliability, and capacity. By understanding the different types of RAID and their benefits, we can make informed decisions about how to best utilize this technology in our personal and professional lives.

The present invention relates to sprayers, and in particular to portable sprayers for spraying fluids.
Portable sprayers have been used to spray stains, sealants or protective coatings on decks, fences, brick walls, concrete walks, or other wood and masonry objects. Portable sprayers have also been used to spray acids, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, degreasers, disinfectants, water proofing, carpet treatments, cleaners, sealers, curing compounds, form release agents, germicides, herbicides, insect control fluids, or any other fluid one would desire to spray onto an object.
Heretofore, portable sprayers have typically included a tank or container for holding the fluids, a pump in the container for pressurizing the fluids in the container and a spraying gun for spraying the fluids onto a predetermined object. The containers of the portable sprayers usually included a top opening wherein the fluids are added to the containers by pouring fluids from commercial containers into the containers. Water is thereafter usually mixed with the fluids from the commercial containers to dilute the fluids according to the chemical manufacturer""s instructions. The containers have typically been translucent and included graduations marked on an exterior surface of the containers for properly measuring the fluids from the commercial containers as they were poured into the container of the sprayer. However, determining the level of fluid within the sprayers by looking at the level of fluid in the translucent containers can be difficult, especially if the containers are darkly colored. Additionally, knowing the level of fluid within the sprayers can allow users of the sprayers to determine if they have enough fluid within the sprayers to complete their present spraying task or whether more fluid needs to be added to the sprayers, thereby saving time for the user if no more fluid is need. Furthermore, less fluid will be wasted if the user of the sprayer can determine that enough fluid is already in the sprayer.
Accordingly, a practical, inexpensive level indication system solving the aforementioned disadvantages and having the aforementioned advantages is desired.
The sprayer of the present invention includes sprayer container, the sprayer container having at least a portion thereof including thermochromic color-changing properties for indicating and determining the amount of fluid in the sprayer container by a color change line located at a transition line between the fluid and gas within the sprayer container. Therefore, a top area of the sprayer container having an interior surface adjacent the gas is of a first color and a bottom area of the sprayer container having an interior surface adjacent the fluid is of a second color.
These and other features, advantages, and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.

August 13

All day we rode across Wyoming. The weather was perfect, and we all enjoyed the day. We had expected the day to drag on, but the scenery was great, lots of wild life and road kill to see, and a great sunset.

At sunset the boys stopped at sunset to take a special picture for their mom. I promised not to post it, so you’ll have to come over to the house to see it when we get back. The moon rose as the sun went down. After dark, we stopped at a very small town, and checked into a hotel that looked straight out of a B horror movie. Memorable.

August 14

We crossed the boarder into Colorado. We dodged rain storms all day, and the radar weather app once again was very helpful. We stopped at Independence Rock again, and climbed to the top just like thousands of west-bound travelers have done for thousands of years.

Here’s one for Emily:

To get around a storm, we took a less-traveled route through northern Colorado. From Craig CO we took the 64 west to the 139 south. These 150 miles of riding was the best motorcycle riding of the trip, and some of the best I’ve ever seen.

Sam having a good time:

Along the way, we took a break at at a reservoir and checked out the dam.

Tonight as we got to the hotel in Green River Utah, it started raining as the sun went down, creating a perfect rainbow.

August 16 – We got on the I-70 today. The I-70 is one of the most spectacular inter-state highways in the USA, and a must-see for everyone. It passes through southern Utah, and then connects with the I15, which takes us down to Las Vegas.

I’m getting quite good at taking pictures while doing 80mph. Here’s a couple of the boys taken in Utah where they don’t have helmet laws. At least one of them kept their helmet on.

We turned southbound down the 15, and got into Saint George for dinner. It was 110 and Chris’s bike was acting up in town becuase of the heat, so we decided to wait till sunset to leave, so the air would be cooler. We had a drink with my good friend and old boss Joe Banos.

The I15 out of Saint George is also beautiful. The boys enjoyed it, and I had a hard time keeping up becuase I have 170lbs of stuff on my bike, and the box with the musket is not very aerodynamic. 50% of the time, this is my view of the guys.

The night-ride into Vegas is one of my all-time favorite. The desert is warm, wind calm, little traffic, and stars in the sky. Its one of the few times I turn on music. When we got into Las Vegas, we decided to ride down the strip to the hotel. Little did I know, it is VERY busy this time of year in Vegas, and the traffic was stop-and-crawl, and the air 105 degrees.

I don’t have a picture of the next activity, but you’ll have to visualize this one for yourself… We’re riding very slowly down the Las Vegas strip to get to our hotel. Traffic is jammed, and we’re only moving one block every 5 minutes. Its 105 degrees out. Then, Chris’s bike over-heats and dies. It isn’t going anywhere, and a hundred cars are backed up behind us. Horns honking; tourists laughing. I realize he’s stuck, so I park my bike on the pedestian-packed sidewalk and run back to him. I begin pushing his dead Harley down Las Vegas Blvd while Chris steers through traffic. We do this for a couple hundred yards till we get to Ceasar’s Forum where we can pull off the road. All safe.

{Insert picture of exhaused dad}

That was one of those priceless moments that only air-cooled Harley riders appreciate. Had we been on a Honda, we’d have missed this father-son moment that we’ll cherish forever.

The next morning, we rode out to Las Vegas Extream Sky Diving at the Jean Airport and all three of us did a tandem sky-dive. Las Vegas Extream is an outfit Andy P. recommended we try. They were great and we all had a good time doing our first sky dive. It was from 15,000 feet and we all got to jump together. Sam went out the door first and Chris second, so I got to see both go all the way down. Cool. In fact, we all were suprised how easy it is. The roller-coasters at Cedar Point were much scarier.

After another afternoon nap, we hit the strip on foot. The boys were like a kid in a candy store.

Somehow they think they’ll get 5 lbs of M&M candy acrosss the 110 degree desert tomorrow as we go back to San Diego.

I let them run loose in the arcades, and I sat down at Diablos and had a margarita. That was one fine margarita.

Its been a great trip, and thanks for following along with us. We’re home tomorrow afternoon.

Q:

Why the result of two different queries have different UI in phpMyadmin?

I have two queries which have identical output (however they doesn't have identical order). But the result of those two queries have different design. Here is two screenshot of them:
Query1:

Query2:

As you see second query has some tools (edit, delete, copy) for each row. Why the first query doesn't has?

EDIT: Here is those two queries:
Query1:
(SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
 FROM notifications n
 WHERE id_user = 123 AND seen IS NULL
)UNION
(SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
 FROM notifications n
 WHERE id_user = 123 AND seen IS NOT NULL
 LIMIT 2
)UNION
(SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
 FROM notifications n
 WHERE id_user =  123
 ORDER BY (seen IS NULL) desc, time_stamp desc
 LIMIT 15
)
ORDER BY (seen IS NULL) desc, time_stamp desc;

Query2:
SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`
FROM (SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`, @`unread` := @`unread` + 1
      FROM `notifications`, (SELECT @`unread` := 0) `unr`
      WHERE `id_user` = 123 AND `seen` IS NULL
      UNION ALL
      SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`, @`read` := @`read` + 1
      FROM `notifications`, (SELECT @`read` := 0) `r`
      WHERE `id_user` = 123 AND `seen` IS NOT NULL
            AND (
                 @`read` < (15 - @`unread`) OR
                 ((15 - @`unread`) < 0 AND @`read` < 2)
            )
) `source`

A:

I think that if the system detects that there is only one table, lends you to edit. In your first query is a JOIN of three tables (even being the same table) but the second query gets data directly from one table (that is the result of a join but at the end is for mysql like one table)
It's curious but it seems that works this way
:)

Lesson: Introduction to SQL Queries

### Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn about SQL queries and how they can be used to retrieve information from a database. We will also explore the differences between two different queries and why their results may appear differently in phpMyadmin.

### Section 1: What are SQL Queries?
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language used to communicate with databases. It allows users to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from a database. A query is a statement that is sent to the database to perform one of these actions.

### Section 2: Different Types of SQL Queries
There are several types of SQL queries, including:

1. SELECT - used to retrieve data from a table
2. INSERT - used to add new data to a table
3. UPDATE - used to modify existing data in a table
4. DELETE - used to remove data from a table

Each type of query serves a specific purpose and is used in different situations.

### Section 3: Why do the results of two different queries look different in phpMyadmin?
The results of two different queries may look different in phpMyadmin due to the way the data is presented. This can happen if the queries return data in a different order or if they use different functions to filter or sort the data. Additionally, some queries may include additional tools such as edit, delete, and copy, which can change the appearance of the results.

### Section 4: How can I create my own SQL queries?
To create your own SQL queries, you will need to understand the syntax and structure of SQL statements. This includes knowing how to use keywords, operators, and functions to retrieve the information you need. You can also use SQL tools to help you write and test your queries.

### Section 5: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at the two queries provided in the question:

Query 1:
```
SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
FROM notifications n
WHERE id_user = 123 AND seen IS NULL
)UNION
(SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
 FROM notifications n
 WHERE id_user = 123 AND seen IS NOT NULL
 LIMIT 2
)UNION
(SELECT id, event, seen, time_stamp
 FROM notifications n
 WHERE id_user =  123
 ORDER BY (seen IS NULL) desc, time_stamp desc
 LIMIT 15
)
ORDER BY (seen IS NULL) desc, time_stamp desc;
```

Query 2:
```
SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`
FROM (SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`, @`unread` := @`unread` + 1
      FROM `notifications`, (SELECT @`unread` := 0) `unr`
      WHERE `id_user` = 123 AND `seen` IS NULL
      UNION ALL
      SELECT `id`, `event`, `seen`, `time_stamp`, @`read` := @`read` + 1
      FROM `notifications`, (SELECT @`r
```

As we can see, both queries are selecting data from the same table and filtering by the same user ID. However, the results are different due to the order in which the data is returned and the functions used. In Query 1, the data is ordered by the "seen" column and the "time_stamp" column, while in Query 2, the data is simply ordered by the number of unread notifications. Additionally, Query 2 includes a counter for the number of unread notifications, which is not present in Query 1.

### Section 6: Conclusion
In conclusion, SQL queries are an essential tool for retrieving information from a database. By understanding the syntax and structure of SQL statements, we can create our own queries to find the information we need. However, the results of two different queries may look different in phpMyadmin due to the way the data is presented. By analyzing the queries provided in the question, we can see how small changes in the syntax can lead to different results.

Lesson:
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of critical thinking and its application in various scenarios. We will also explore the concept of missing persons and the procedures involved in finding them.
Section 1: Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the process of analyzing information and ideas objectively and evaluating them based on evidence and logic. It involves questioning assumptions, examining evidence, and considering alternative explanations.
Why is critical thinking important?
Critical thinking is essential in today's world where information is abundant but not always accurate. By learning to think critically, we can evaluate information and make informed decisions based on evidence rather than emotion or personal beliefs.
What are the steps involved in critical thinking?
The steps involved in critical thinking are:
1. Identifying the problem or question
2. Gathering information
3. Analyzing the information
4. Evaluating the evidence
5. Drawing conclusions
6. Communicating the results
Example:
Suppose you read an article that claims to have discovered a cure for cancer. As a critical thinker, you would ask questions such as:
1. Who wrote the article?
2. What is their expertise in the field of cancer research?
3. Where was the study conducted?
4. How many people were involved in the study?
5. What was the result of the study?
6. Was the study published in a reputable scientific journal?
By asking these questions, you can evaluate the credibility of the article and decide whether to believe it or not.
Section 2: Missing Persons
Missing persons are individuals who cannot be found by their loved ones or the authorities. When a person goes missing, it can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for their family and friends.
What procedures are followed when a person goes missing?
When a person goes missing, the authorities are notified, and a search is initiated. The police, along with other emergency services, work together to find the missing person. They may use various methods such as search dogs, helicopters, and drones to locate the missing person.
What can I do if someone I know goes missing?
If someone you know goes missing, you should report it to the authorities immediately. You can also spread the word on social media and other platforms to increase awareness. Additionally, you can offer support to the family and friends of the missing person.
Example:
Suppose a friend of yours goes missing. You can help by:
1. Reporting the missing person to the authorities
2. Spreading the word on social media and other platforms
3. Offering emotional support to the family and friends of the missing person
4. Participating in search efforts if necessary
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the importance of critical thinking and its application in various scenarios. We also explored the concept of missing persons and the procedures involved in finding them. By understanding these concepts, we can make informed decisions and provide support to those in need.

Lesson: Introduction to Interior Design

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. It involves creating a functional and visually appealing space by considering the principles of design, color theory, furniture arrangement, and accessorizing.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
Let's consider a bedroom as an example. The first step in interior design is to determine the function of the room. Is it a sleeping area or a multipurpose room? Once we know the function, we can start planning the layout of the room. We need to decide where the bed will go, what kind of furniture we will use, and how we will arrange them to create a flow. We also need to consider the color scheme, the type of lighting, and the textures and materials used in the room.

For instance, let's say we have a small bedroom with a queen-sized bed. To make the most out of the limited space, we can place a tallboy dresser next to the bed instead of a bulky nightstand. We can also add a mirror to the dresser to create an illusion of more space. We can choose a monochromatic color scheme with shades of gray and white to create a calming atmosphere. Finally, we can add a statement piece of art above the headboard to add some personality to the room.

## Section 3: Critical Thinking and Discussions
Interior design is not just about making a room look pretty. It involves problem-solving, creativity, and attention to detail. A good interior designer needs to consider the client's lifestyle, preferences, and budget while creating a design that is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and safe.

For example, if we are designing a bedroom for an elderly person, we need to consider if the color scheme is too dark or too bright, if there are any safety hazards, and if there is enough space to move around easily. We also need to take into account the person's mobility and accessibility needs.

## Glossary:
- Principles of design: The fundamental rules of composition that govern the arrangement of elements in a design.
- Color theory: The study of how colors interact with each other and how they can be combined to create harmonious schemes.
- Furniture arrangement: The process of placing furniture in a room to create a balanced and functional layout.
- Accessorizing: The process of adding decorative items to a room to create visual interest and personality.

## Conclusion:
Interior design is an exciting field that allows us to express our creativity and make a difference in people's lives. By understanding the principles of design, color theory, and furniture arrangement, we can create functional and visually appealing spaces that meet the needs of the people using them.

Lesson: Introduction to Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

**Objective:** This lesson will introduce students to the concept of medical malpractice lawsuits, explain the legal process involved, and provide examples of cases where patients have filed suits against healthcare providers.

**Glossary:**
- Medical malpractice: Negligence by a healthcare professional that causes harm to a patient.
- Tort: A wrongful act that results in harm to another person or property.
- Damages: Compensation awarded to an injured party as a result of a tort.
- Standard of care: The level of care that a reasonable healthcare provider would provide under similar circumstances.
- Burden of proof: The obligation to prove a claim or allegation.

**Section 1: Introduction to Medical Malpractice Lawsuits**

Medical malpractice lawsuits are legal actions brought by patients who have been harmed by the negligence of a healthcare provider. These lawsuits seek to hold the provider accountable for their actions and to obtain compensation for the damages caused.

**Section 2: Understanding Medical Malpractice Lawsuits**

To succeed in a medical malpractice lawsuit, a patient must prove that the healthcare provider breached the standard of care owed to them and that this breach caused their injuries. The standard of care varies depending on the circumstances of each case, but it generally refers to the level of care that a reasonable healthcare provider would provide under similar circumstances.

Patients must also prove that they suffered damages as a result of the provider's negligence. Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

**Section 3: Examples of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits**

One example of a medical malpractice lawsuit is a case where a patient was improperly treated for diabetes while serving time in prison. The patient filed a lawsuit against the state of New Hampshire, claiming that he suffered vision damage as a result of the negligent treatment.

Another example is a case where a woman gave birth to a child with severe brain damage due to oxygen deprivation during delivery. The mother filed a lawsuit against the hospital and the doctor, alleging that they failed to monitor the baby's heart rate properly and failed to perform an emergency cesarean section when it was necessary.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

Medical malpractice lawsuits can be complex and challenging to navigate. However, they serve an important purpose in holding healthcare providers accountable for their actions and ensuring that patients receive the quality of care that they deserve. By understanding the legal process involved in these lawsuits, students can gain valuable insights into the legal system and the importance of seeking justice for those who have been harmed.


text: Like a stud. Most Helpful Girl. Seems a touch feminine.43|11|0. @FrankReynolds Stylistically, it appears for my tastes feminine. I grew up seeing women get diamond studs on their noses, so my mind is going to go to "feminine", if you're all for removing gender labels from everything do you, but I am of the opinion that things can indeed look feminine and masculine. It'd be no different than putting a bow in your hair.. I'm not saying don't do it, if you wanna do it then by all means, stud your nose and wear bows, I won't judge you, but if somebody asks me how it looks I am going to say: It looks feminine.. Most Helpful Guy. Definitely. Get a stud like this girl. Would look great man, trust me.00|00|0.

Lesson:
Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the concept of gender labels and how they are used to describe things or activities. We will also explore how these labels can influence our perception of people or things.
Section 1: Understanding Gender Labels
What are gender labels?
Gender labels are words or phrases that are used to describe something as masculine or feminine. These labels are often used to categorize things or activities based on their perceived appropriateness for men or women.
Why do we use gender labels?
Gender labels are often used to make sense of the world around us. They help us to understand and organize the things we see and experience. However, these labels can also be limiting and can create stereotypes that can be harmful to individuals or groups.
Section 2: Exploring the Impact of Gender Labels
How do gender labels influence our perceptions?
Gender labels can influence our perceptions of people or things in a number of ways. For example, if we see a person wearing clothing typically associated with the opposite gender, we may assume that they are transgender or non-binary. Similarly, if we see an activity that is typically associated with one gender, we may assume that it is not appropriate for another gender.
Are gender labels always accurate?
No, gender labels are not always accurate. People are complex and multifaceted, and their gender identity may not always align with traditional gender roles. Additionally, some activities or things may not fit neatly into either the masculine or feminine category.
Section 3: Applying Critical Thinking Skills
How can we challenge gender labels?
We can challenge gender labels by questioning the assumptions that underlie them. We can ask ourselves if there are other ways to categorize things or activities that do not rely on outdated or limiting stereotypes. We can also seek out diverse perspectives and experiences that challenge our own assumptions.
Conclusion
In this lesson, we have explored the concept of gender labels and how they can influence our perceptions. We have also learned how to challenge these labels by applying critical thinking skills. By questioning the assumptions that underlie these labels, we can work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
