Here's How Much Protein You Should Be Eating Daily
We all know that protein is essential to our health, but knowing how much to eat can be a bit of a mystery. Recommendations from government agencies are often low, at a level that prevents deficiency, but isn't really high enough for people to thrive. The truth is, protein is essential to the health of your hair, blood, muscles, connective tissues, and much more. How much protein is enough? It depends on your goals and who you ask.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance, or RDA, for protein is only about 10% of the average American's diet. In truth, most of us eat a diet that's about 16% protein, but many experts argue that neither of these amounts is actually high enough. In fact, many believe that eating a diet composed of about 25% protein is a better goal. However, the more important question is one of quality. The general consensus is that it's important to eat high-quality proteins and adjust the amount to meet your particular needs.
- If you're trying to lose weight: Eating more protein, perhaps 25-30% of your calories, can help reduce cravings by giving you a feeling of fullness. Protein can also boost your metabolism, as well as building and maintaining muscle mass, which can not only help you lose weight but prevent you from gaining it in the first place.
- If the goal is to build muscle: There's a reason bodybuilders pack in the protein. Protein is well-known for increasing muscle tissue and strength. Rather than calculating a dietary percentage, though, general wisdom holds that consuming about one gram of protein per pound of body weight should be the goal to build muscle.
- An increase in protein can help certain situations : People who are extremely active or have physically demanding jobs can benefit from more protein, as can people who are recovering from injuries. Extra protein is also good for elderly people because it helps prevent osteoporosis and reduction of muscle mass.
What is considered a high-quality protein? The best protein sources are rich in nutrients but low in saturated fat and carbohydrates. Seafood tops the list, but lean meats, nuts, and legumes are also good options.
Eating a variety of seafood and lean meats is one way to make sure your diet has enough protein. R&R Quality Meats & Seafood have always offered the best meats in a wide variety, and today we have the finest selection of beef, pork, lamb, poultry, seafood, deli meats, cheeses, and more. Committed to customer service, we offer meat cut fresh throughout the day, and work hard to give you what you want when you want it. To learn more about all that R&R Quality Meats & Seafood has to offer, visit our website or call 530-241-7770 today.
Delicious Wine & Seafood Pairings
When you're planning a delicious seafood meal, don't forget to think about wine to complement your perfect recipe. The right wine can enhance your dining, bringing out the flavor of your seafood and making your meal truly memorable. You may have a tried and true favorite, but it's worth considering trying something different if it will truly complement your seafood dish.
- For a mild flavored fish like halibut, try a white to light red wine. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Sémillon are all good choices, and for something more exotic, consider Gewürztraminer, a sweetly aromatic wine.
- Sparkling white wines go well with crab or sushi. Of course, sake is another good option for sushi, and Dungeness crab practically begs for Chardonnay. Caviar, of course, deserves champagne.
- For fresh oysters, consider a white wine, like a Chardonnay or Riesling. You might also try a dry white Burgundy. For clams, a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc is a good choice, while for mussels, you'll enjoy not only Pinot Grigio, but also Verdicchio, Bardolino, or a Sicilian Chiarandà.
- When salmon is on the menu, look for a low tannin wine. Pinot Noir should probably be your top pick, but Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and dry Rosé are also excellent. These are also good with other meaty fish, like Mahi-mahi, Swordfish, Tuna, or Mackerel.
- Dining on Sea Bass, Haddock, Tilapia, or Flounder? It's time for a crisp, clean, Sauvignon Blanc. A few other options include Italian Pinot Grigio or Vermentino, or a Greek or Portuguese white.
- For shrimp and lobster, there are some excellent options. A Brut sparkling wine is a great option for either, or you might try Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. Other wines that pair well with these are Pinot Blanc and Chenin Blanc.
Whichever wine you decide to pair with it, you can trust R&R Quality Meats & Seafood to provide the right seafood, adhering to high standards of quality and offering a wide variety of options. Committed to customer service, we offer seafood that's never frozen, and work hard to give you what you want when you want it. If you're looking for the highest quality seafood, we have everything from Alaskan salmon, Pacific cod, and Hawaiian mahi-mahi, to a variety of shrimp and prawns, and plenty of live shellfish including clams, oysters, and mussels.

1. Re: Small samples: how to identify them?Pablo Saenz de Tejada Mar 22, 2016 3:33 AM (in response to ANTONIO GAZQUEZ)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Hi Antonio,
I guess you have 1 row per respondent and per question right? so you are filtering each sheet by the concrete question you want to analyze / visualize. Normally when I want to see sample sizes, what I do is a count of number of records for the concrete question I want. COUNT([Numer of records]) or if you have a Respondent ID, a count distinct of respondent ID (should be the same if you have only 1 row per respondent). If you include that calculation in the tooltip, it will show you the size of the sample for each mark in the visualization.
Another possibility is also to include a calculation to use it as color for example (or also as an additional label). So for instance you can create a calculation like
COUNT([Number of Records]) <= 30
This will give you a True if the number of records (so, the sample if you have only 1 respondent per row. Again you could use a COUNTD of respondent ID if you have a respondent ID field with a unique identifies per respondent) is less or equal to 30, and a false if it's greater than 30. Then you can use this in color and you will color differently the small samples and big samples.
Additionally, you could create a field like IF COUNT([Number of Records]) <=30 then "Small Sample" ELSE NULL END and use that field in labels in addition to the measure. So it would show in the label the text "Small Sample" in those cases.
I hope you find this useful. Let me know if you need additional information.
2. Re: Small samples: how to identify them?ANTONIO GAZQUEZ Mar 22, 2016 6:52 AM (in response to Pablo Saenz de Tejada)
Hi Pablo!
Thank you for your help! This approach will almost solve my problem. However, I have some other worksheets where I'm not able to show the count. I'll explain:
This situation takes place when I want to visualize in a table different measures, like this one, for example:
As you can see, I have 4 different means from 4 different variables. If I use here count of number of records the result will not show the real count of the variable (count here will be the same for every single variable).
If I calculate the real count of every variable in another table I can see how are different.
Is there any way to visualize in the first table the count for every variable? I can't come up with any idea...
Thank you!
3. Re: Small samples: how to identify them?Jennifer Pattershall-Geide Mar 22, 2016 7:19 AM (in response to ANTONIO GAZQUEZ)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Hi Antonio - I have a couple of techniques for displaying Ns in my survey data. One is to have an "N counter" on the dashboard that's tied to a filter action on my graph, so when someone clicks on a question they get exact number of people who answered that question. For instance, in the two images below, you'll see that the N changes when a different question is selected. Note that the N counter is just a separate worksheet displaying the number of records.
Another possibility is to put the N into the chart/table, such as below:
To use this approach just make sure your count is discrete rather than continuous. Depending on the nature of your data you may need to use an LOD expression (which I have to do to get a total across all answers on Likert scale, rather than counts for each answer separately). The specific equation (to which I credit Steve Wexler) is:
{EXCLUDE [Answer] : SUM([Number of Records)] }
or, if you have pivoted data (as I do):
{EXCLUDE [Answer] : COUNTD([ID] }
I'm sorry I can't share a workbook due to the nature of my data, but if you'd like more details on either of these approaches please let me know.

5. Re: Small samples: how to identify them?ANTONIO GAZQUEZ Mar 22, 2016 10:04 AM (in response to Pablo Saenz de Tejada)
I'm sorry Pablo. I had the same problem. In the original database in Excel, when I have null values I have this: "." It looks like Tableau is not reading this as null value. Normally I don't have my data in Excel, I just did it this time for the example so I didn't notice.
Anyway, please find attached a new workbook, this one is correct. There you'll be able to check what I meant in my previous post.
Thank you again!

Hi Antonio,
sorry, had some busy days. I'll have a look at it as soon as possible.
7. Re: Small samples: how to identify them?ANTONIO GAZQUEZ Apr 12, 2016 2:04 AM (in response to Pablo Saenz de Tejada)
Thank you very much Pablo! Anyway I managed how to solve it with some workarounds. For now, I have something like this:
I have two tables:
- One on the left side, with one weighted measure per row.
- One on the right side, with the count of every measure.
So if you click on the number you will get the table filtered by date on the right.
If you have a better solution please let me know! I'd like to have this information in tooltip directly but it seems to be impossible.
Thank you!

Sanctions should be a reminder to Iran
Neither Iran — nor Turkey — can use the Khashoggi case to position themselves as champions of the truth or as defenders of journalists.
Source: The Arab Weekly
Iranian authorities are bracing for the next wave of US sanctions, which will target their oil exports. "On November 5th, all US sanctions against Iran lifted by the nuclear deal will be back in full force," US President Donald Trump announced at a White House event October 25.
The same day, Trump signed the Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Amendments Act of 2018, which imposes sanctions on the pro-Iran Shia militia.
It has become obvious that, despite all the manoeuvres, Iran will not be able to circumvent US sanctions nor can it protect its proxies from the pressures exerted by the international community.
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) allies announced on October 23 that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and senior members of its al-Quds Force, including commander Major-General Qassem Soleimani, would be designated terrorist actors or supporters of terrorism.
The GCC list of Iranian individuals and organisations suspected of involvement in terrorist activity added nine names. At least three of them are officers accused by the United States in 2011 of involvement in a plot to kill Saudi Arabia's former Ambassador to the United States and current Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir. Not an unusual or unjustified suspicion considering Tehran's long list of assassinations and attempted assassinations of its opponents.
On October 23, the Terrorist Financing Targeting Centre, a US-GCC initiative, imposed sanctions on two other al-Quds Force members for supporting Afghanistan's Taliban.
This new indictment of the IRGC is another blow to Tehran as Hezbollah, its main proxy in Lebanon and Syria, is under scrutiny by the US Congress for drug-related and money-laundering criminal connections and for using civilians as "human shields" in times of conflict.
Iran has never managed to conceal its direct financing and supply of arms to proxies, including Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthis. US broadcaster Fox News disclosed that Tehran is using civilian aircraft to supply Hezbollah with equipment to upgrade its rocket arsenal.
Iran, which persists in deluding itself about leading an "axis of resistance" to the United States and pretends that all its problems stem from interference by the "Great Satan," tries to ignore the reasons for mounting discontent at home.
Tehran was denounced a few days ago by a UN special rapporteur for carrying out death sentences on five minors this year. On October 24, the Tehran prosecutor announced that four Iranian environmental activists were charged with "corruption on Earth." It is one of the most serious charges possible in Iran and is punishable by death.
Another environmentalist, university Professor Kavous Seyed-Emami, 64, died in prison in February. Authorities said he committed suicide.
Tehran has been trying to claim the moral high ground though its denunciation of the West's "double standards" and US "protection" of Saudi Arabia in dealing with the Khashoggi case.
Saudi authorities have committed to getting to the bottom of the case of Saudi reporter Jamal Khashoggi, who disappeared October 2 after entering their consulate in Istanbul. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz described Khashoggi's death as a "heinous crime that cannot be justified."
Even so, the Iranian authorities, who have an abysmal record when it comes to the treatment of journalists, seem to be having a hard time weaning themselves off the Khashoggi crisis. They had hoped it would continue to serve as a convenient diversion from their behaviour at home and abroad.
Iranian Brigadier-General Esmail Kowsari, a senior IRGC officer, claimed the designation of IRGC members in terrorist lists was a ploy by Saudi rulers "to distract the world and the region from the killing of Jamal Khashoggi."
Iran's conspiracy theories will not alter the fact that its repressive actions at home and destructive activities in the region will remain, as they should, at the top of the international community's agenda.
Obviously that includes Iran's mistreatment of its own journalists, who are often at the receiving end of implausible judicial sentences. Reporters without Borders ranks Tehran's regime 164th out of 180 countries on the "World Press Freedom Index."
A lot remains to be done in the region to protect journalists and uphold press freedom, but neither Iran — nor Turkey — can use the Khashoggi case to position themselves as champions of the truth or as defenders of journalists. It is not surprising that the word "hypocrisy" comes to commentators' mind when discussing the two countries' attitude in this case.

In honor of Bagels and Jeans Friday. In which my tiny little company gives me great pleasure by buying bagels and allowing me to wear jeans and sneakers. I actually like going to work on Friday.
- It appears that Roger will pitch for Scranton next. Say hi to Michael Scott for me, Rog!
- This is the coolest wildlife video I've ever seen. It's a bit long, but you definitely learn one thing after a pride of lions has to take on some pissed off water buffaloes and 2 crocodiles. Pimpin' Ain't Easy for Lions.
- In an amazing juxtaposition. We have Da Guvernator and the nice, easy going, lady governor from my home state of CT kicking some administration ass because they are blocking their respective state's from taking on emmissions. So much for "state's rights".
- Here' is a cool combined interview with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelhof and Heroes creator Tim Kring. In it, I learned that they worked together on Crossing Jordan. Crossing Jordan? Seriously? I watched maybe two episodes of that show because of the smokin' hot Jill Hennessy. It sucked, no? Anyway, good interview.
- Torture Movies: I don't get it. This is a weird trend in movies for kids today. Saw 1-N, Hostel (and soon, Hostel II), Turistas, and most recently, Captivity has clogged up my TV with commercials (there are probably others). I don't get what's fun about it.
- Driving my kids to school, it occurred to me that my three year old son sings with my Dad's enthusiasm and skill. Which is to say a ton of the former, not so much of the latter. I missed my Dad's birthday yesterday! Happy Birthday, Dad!
- And because Toast isn't here, the rat bastid, a Poddery Barn.
1) K.D. Lang - "Tears of Love's Recall" Ingenue
I love me some KD. What a voice. Saw her at Radio City with Tony Bennett, two weeks after 9/11. Great show. Strange time in NY.
2) Rooney - "Sorry Sorry" Rooney
Sticky sweet power pop. I am slightly less manly than I was a moment ago for having listened to this song.
3) Mark Mothersbaugh - "Sharp Little Guy" Rushmore
Talk about feeling less manly. Short instrumental that's kinda alt-baroque.
4) White Stripes - "The Hardest Button To Button" Elephant
"Now we're a family
And we're alright now
We got some money and a little place
To fight now"
5) Ben Folds Five - "The Last Polka" Ben Folds Five
"He's a heap of junk that pours from his top drawer
He sometimes likes to spread it out around the floor
It's evidence of what he was like
He likes to remember when"
6) Snow Patrol - "Hands Open" Eyes Open
Their last album, "Final Straw" was really good. This one is merely pretty good.
7) Iron Maiden - "Judas Be My Guide" Fear of the Dark
"Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory
Come home - Meat in a plastic sack"
Please vote against the supplemental, Dems.
8) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - "Complicated Situation" Howl
I recommend this album.
9) Outkast - "Rooster" Speakerboxx
This isn't the Hey Ya half of the duo. This is the other guy.
10) Cracker - "How Can I Live Without You" The Golden Age
"You can still come and bring me those fancy pastries
You can still come and crawl into my bed
You can live your life with whomever you please to
As long as someone takes good care of me"
11) Belle & Sebastian - "If She Wants Me" Dear Catastrophe Waitress
This is "Sunday Morning Coffee and Chillin'" Music.
12) Iron Maiden - "The Fallen Angel" Brave New World
This is NOT "Sunday Morning Coffee and Chillin'" music.
13) Beastie Boys - "Hold It Now, Hit It" Licensed to Ill
"What's the Time? It's time to buy Ale!" Perfect song to end a Friday poddery.

Suzannah Espie and the Last Word
I left the Kustom Pinups Calendar launch at 3.30pm thinking 1&1/2 hours would be enough time to get to Brunswick. Wrong! Due to track works between Flinders St and Southern Cross I was told to get a bus to that station and get on a train...which came straight back to Flinders St. I was then told to get a bus from North Melbourne then hop on one leg for 5km. Bugger it, Taxi!
I arrived a couple of minutes before Suzannah started and took my usual photos of Big Boy Lemonade before the band started its set so he wouldn't get into trouble.
It was a great set, and although there were other bands on afterwards, I didn't feel like staying. I don't usually get a taxi to go to gigs, but I wanted to make it to see Suzannah and it was my birthday.
Large Number 12s
After a relatively normal tram ride and stopping in the city to see if my friend was working (she wasn't in) I decided against going up to see the new Kooky Karaoke at the Terminus as I didn't want to have to get another taxi home.
The Large Number 12s played great as always and Dan Warner and Ian Bland turned up. I did get birthday congratulations from all the band by the end of the night also.
My friend had sent me a message earlier in the day about the gig she was going to, so I didn't stay for long afterwards.
Benny and the Fly By Nighters
Even though I only got to see a couple of songs, it was worth it to see everyone dancing and to see my friend.
Cheers to Rhianna who was working also and another person working behind the bar who bought me a drink.
It had been a long day so I didn't kick on afterwards as I had too much to drink the previous night and have some big weekends coming up soon.

Bankster's NBA 3-Point Play – March 13, 2019
Fanball's NBA 3 Point Play
Powered by Bankster DFS
Did you know that on even a six game NBA slate, there are approximately 250 BILLION lineup combinations you can make? To be able to hit on the 1 lineup out of those combinations is harder than winning the lottery. A reduced player pool, though, can give you a significant advantage by reducing the possible lineup combinations you can make. If we limit our choices to only 5 players per position, you now have 400,000 possible lineup combinations you can make (pricing helps reduce this number even lower). Sure, that's still a lot of lineup choices but it's only .00016% of the total possible lineup combinations everyone else is working with. That is a SIGNIFICANT advantage for you if you're choosing from a strong reduced player pool. That's where we come in to help.
Bankster DFS, The Home of the Reduced Player Pool, has teamed up with Fanball to give you a daily sneak peak of three of the plays we have included in our Bankster DFS reduced player pool. We aren't lineup sellers; we write full articles that explain which players we like, why we like those players, and how we like to build our teams. We are a learning site more than anything, and you can see that in heavy member interaction on our various Slack Chat channels (we have one for every sport that we cover – NBA, AAF, NFL, NHL, MLB, EPL, PGA, MMA, CBB, WWE, sports betting, and Best Ball 10's). You can get the rest of our reduced player pool, our daily articles, our members only slack chat, and Fanball exclusives with a Bankster DFS membership. That membership costs only $2.99/wk and you get everything mentioned above with it; 10% of all membership fees are donated to Donors Choose (a site that funds projects for teachers and their classrooms). You can contact me about membership on Twitter @bankster17 or sign up for service here.
Let's look at the 3 point plays for Wednesday, March 13…
From the Corner: Rudy Gobert (UTA – C – $8,400)
From the mouth of Phil Beneteau (@fantasyphilled), "The Phoenix Suns have been surprising a lot of teams lately. They beat the Warriors in Golden State on Sunday and beat the Milwaukee Bucks less than 10 days ago. They are not getting blown out like the spread suggests. The Jazz did take care of business in their first at home winning 116-88, but Gobert still saw over 32 minutes and dropped 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, and 16 points. He will match those stats tonight as he should continue to own rookie Deandre Ayton with his post game."
From the Wing: Mike Conley (MEM – PG – $7,600)
On a night where people may spend up for the PG position, Conley is sitting in the upper mid-tier and could give you top level production. Over his last eight games, Conley has surpassed 40 fantasy points six times; going over 50 fantasy points in three of those games. Atlanta runs the fastest pace in the league and opposing guards have been dominant against them. The only time these two teams met this year, Conley hit that 40 fantasy point plateau (over 5% higher than his season average). At his price point he's already sitting at 5x if he gets to those 40 points and we look at that as more of a floor than ceiling tonight. Even if you wanted to spend up at PG, you can pair Conley with Steph Curry very comfortably (or Russell Westbrook slightly more uncomfortably).
From Way Downtown: Bruno Caboclo (MEM – SF – $3,000)
From the mouth of Zac Green (@okiecowpoke14), "Bruno started the last game for Memphis, and if he starts tonight this is a plus matchup against a Hawks team that cannot defend anyone. All we need is for him to make a few threes and, boom, 15 points and 5x value. Using him allows you to pay up for studs like Gobert. He is capable of huge games as he had a 35 fantasy point game against the Mavericks" Don't look at what he's done recently as he only just was inserted back into the starting lineup for the Grizzlies. He started on Sunday in a tough matchup against Orlando; as Zac said, tonight's matchup is far easier.
On the Bench (Fade of the Day): Andre Drummond (DET – C – $9,800)
From the mouth of Phil Beneteau (@fantasyphilled), "I'm a Drummond and Pistons guy, but this is just not a good spot for him. He does not play well against Whiteside and the Heat. He's been "hot" (see what I did there) recently but I think he gets cooled off tonight on the road in Miami against another slow paced team. He has averaged just 13.7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 12.3 points in his 3 games against the Heat this season." There are far too many options on this slate (Gobert, Boogie, Capela, Vucevic) to spend all the way up on Drummond in a matchup against a team that runs a pace as slow as molasses. An average game for Drummond this year has been around 45 fantasy points. Against the Heat that number drops all the way down to 36 points per game, a 20% drop in production. I don't care how hot he is, you can't justify spending what Drummond costs when you've got these numbers staring you in the face.
Don't forget that you can access the rest of our Reduced Player Pool as a Bankster DFS member. $2.99 per week gets you access to all the content we produce for all the sports we cover, our members only Slack Chat, and exclusive Fanball bonuses.

This unique image from Queensland Australia is of a river, which in times past flowed over this cave. But with age, the roof of the cave has collapsed and now the river displays a beautiful waterfall entering the cave through the roof. This is truly a scene of natural beauty, which has developed without any intervention from humans. It is a testimony to the power of nature when the effects of time are allowed to sculpt and shape the landscape.

How to make sure your school is eSafe?
Thanks to Amanda Jackson, Inspector Standards and Effectiveness – Computing and eSafety at HES for this blog post on eSafety.
Safer Internet Day, On Tuesday 10
February, is a great opportunity to get everyone in school involved with eSafety. It is not too late if you haven't got anything planned yet, why not try doing an assembly or have a go at one of the lessons? Take a look at the
Safer Internet Day website
for ideas! The resources there are free for you to use so encourage all staff to use them. If you are unable to get things organised for Tuesday 10
February, why not hold your own Safer Internet Day on a different day, all the resources will still be there for you to use. As good as it is to get involved with this fabulous day, the key thing with eSafety is to see it as an all year round activity, not a one off event each year.
So what are the key ingredients for a school that wants to be eSafe?
Pupils should be getting regular, high quality activities around eSafety issues. The new curriculum for computing includes eSafety, for example at KS2 it states they should be able to:
use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact
It is important to state that eSafety should not just be covered within computing, yes it is an obvious place for it, but there are many other times when pupils could discuss eSafety. Where should you go for resources? Have a look at the
matrix grid
that looks at the resources that match all the different areas of eSafety.
Why not get pupils involved in keeping each other safe with a scheme like digital leaders (free) or ecadets (paid service)?
In order for pupils to have high quality activities and discussion regarding eSafety, teachers need to have knowledge and understanding of the topic. If eSafety is your responsibility, make sure that all staff are aware of the risks and dangers of being online. Regular briefings with staff are a good way to do this, why not have a go at some of the online games or activities the pupils are using.
We work hard to keep children and young people safe in school, what can we do to make sure that parents are able to follow the same message? One of the most difficult things is to get parents to come along to information sessions. Here are some ideas to get parents involved:
Try arranging the session at different times of the day, just after they have dropped off their children, just before they pick up or in the evening.
Get children involved in the session, with drama pieces or presentations.
Suggest the parents' association get involved too
theme the event to look at aspects of safety such as gaming (including time limits, age restrictions etc), current issues such as Facebook privacy etc
There are lots of examples online if you want to review your own or draw one up. We recommend the London Grid for Learning documents to our schools; they are freely available for all, even those working outside London. Have a look here –
. One of the key things to remember with your Acceptable Use Policy is that it needs to be signed by ALL staff, not just those who use a computer; it should be anyone who is employed by the school. They represent the school and any inappropriate use of social media could damage the school reputation. Have you also thought about how you get people to sign these? Do you get people to sign the bottom of the sheet and then hand it back? Who now has the copy of the rules that they are to adhere to? Try to make sure what they have agreed to, stays with the user with a tear off slip or another sheet of paper.

Swansea Museum
|Swansea, Wales

|Local history, transportation
|Swansea Museum
The Swansea Museum in Swansea, Wales, UK is the oldest museum in Wales.[1] The building was built for the Royal Institution of South Wales in 1841 in the neo-classical style.
Collections [ edit ]
Main museum [ edit ]
Swansea Museum is the oldest museum in Wales. Completed in 1841, this Grade-2* listed building was commissioned by the Royal Institution of South Wales, a group of art and science enthusiasts. The building was designed to house the RISW's array of collections as well as provide research and learning facilities.
Under threat of closure, the Swansea City Council saved the building and its collections in 1996. Swansea Museum now provides free access to six galleries with a variety of exhibits from an ancient mummy's tomb to temporary exhibitions on current issues and modern interests. The museum benefits from flat access from rear and side with disabled parking spaces at rear, thus allowing full access to all levels and galleries via the lift.
Marina [ edit ]
Access to the maritime section is available in June, July and August. The museum has three boats in its collections:[2]
- Lightship Helwick
- Tug boat Canning
- 1909 Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter Olga
The Tramshed [ edit ]
The Tramshed in the Marina displays memorabilia from the former street trams of Swansea and the Mumbles tram that ran around the edge of the bay from Swansea town centre to Mumbles pier.
Originally part of the former Maritime and Industrial Museum, the Tramshed on the Dylan Thomas Square is now run by Swansea Museum. This conservatory-style gallery displays memorabilia from the street trams of Swansea, including the famous Mumbles train. Large windows illuminate a double-decker tram as well as a reconstruction of the original 1804 horse-drawn Mumbles train, the first passenger railway service in the world.
While the ground floor allows level access, the mezzanine and trams currently do not.[3]
Landore Collections Centre [ edit ]
The Landore Collections Centre is located in the former rolling mills building of the former Hafod/Morfa Copperworks, parts of which date back to the 1830s.[4] For most of its industrial life it was used as a rolling mills but was in use as a warehouse before the Local Authority acquired the site in 1980.
The building provides nearly 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of open-plan storage space for the reserve collections of both Swansea Museum and the former Maritime and Industrial Museum. Side rooms provide office and additional environmentally controlled storage space.
Plans to further develop and regenerate the surrounding area into a focus for Wales' copper history will complement the Collections Centre as a heritage venue.[5]

2018 15" MacBook Pro (RP560X) [8th,6C,H] + GTX 1080 @ 32Gbps-TB3 (ASUS XG Station Pro) + macOS 10.13.6 & Win10 [OliverB] // RX 570 vs GTX 1080 Ti
System specs
-MacBook Pro 15 inch 2018, i7-8850 6-core, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSD
-iGpu Intel UHD Graphics 630
-dGpu AMD Radeon Pro 560X
-External Monitor Samsung S24H85x 2560x1440
-Mac OSX 10.13.6
-Windows 10 Build 1803 Bootcamp
eGPU hardware
Asus XG Station Pro
- paired with EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 (EVGA 11G-P4-6593-KR)
- using 80cm Apple TB3 cable
Sonnet Breakaway Puck
- paired with AMD Radion RX 570
- using 150cm TB3 cable from Asus XG Station Pro
Hardware pictures
It's the first time all 4 TB3 ports of the MacBookPro are being used.
Installation steps
1) Install nVidia Webdrivers (e.g. https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update)
2) Boot into MacOSX with @goalque's EFI Bootloader
3) Hot-plug the Asus XG Station Pro, but do not attach a monitor to it (Important).
4) Hot-plug the Breakaway Puck, you can attach a monitor to it in order to get a second display.
5. Finished
2a) I removed the apple_set_os.efi from the flash drive, because it doesn't any good to this particular MacBookPro model
2b) You can use @mac_editors purge-wrangler instead.
3) If you want to use a monitor attached to the nVidia card
- You must not have a monitor attached to the Breakaway Puck AND
- You must use the following command: "sudo pmset -a gpuswitch 0"
(I strongly recommend to attach the monitor to the Breakaway Puck (or the AMD card in similar setups) for several reasons)
Windows will be handled in the next post.
Luxmark Ball:
Unigine Heaven Preset Extreme:
|internal display
|external display
(The numbers can mislead, this Unigine Heaven is very, very nVidia friendly, in computing and AMD friendly tests the RX570 performs about 50% of the GTX1080Ti).
1. set-eGPU.sh has been using to get the eGPU running on the internal display. There have been two interesting discoveries:
a) Having both eGPUs, set-eGPU.sh will always chose this nVidia card over this AMD card, no matter the order they have been plugged in.
b) With set-eGPU.sh set, any application running on external display attached to the AMD card, still will be accelerated by the nVidia card. This has been a big surprise.
2. Attaching a monitor to the nVidia card yields into losing dGPU acceleration of the internal display. This problem is the opposite to the Windows problem where it's lost with AMD eGPUs. Futher it's not possible to use more than one external display, if one is attached to an nVidia card.
3. By enabling nVidia cards for MacOSX the "Disconnect" Icon is being removed. It's not possible to disconnect nVidia cards. Any attempt results in a system crash.
Installation steps Windows
A. nVidia Card:
0. I started with a quite fresh installation of Windows 10 Buid 1803. I restored a backup, which needed 45 seconds from a NVMe SSD.
1. I hot-plugged my nVidie eGPU. Soon "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" appeared:
2. I waited about 4 minutes until the Geforce card appears in Display adapters. Windows wanted to reboot. I didn't do it.
3. I disabled the yellow banged GTX 1080 Ti device. I didn't reboot, clicked on "no", when Windows was me asking to.
4. I reenabled the GTX1080Ti device. My external monitor lit up.
B. AMD Card:
5. I hot-plugged my AMD card. Again "Microsoft Display Basic Adapter" appeared. I waited. My internal monitor will go black eventually.
6. No reason for panic. I still had an external monitor working. Both AMD cards are yellow banged, one with Error 43, the other with 12:
7. I just disabled the "Radeon Pro 560X" and rebooted.
Note: Still there is the bad taste of disabling the Radeon Pro 560X and it's not possible to re-enable it again, By installing bootcampdrivers the dGPU can be reactivated, if no AMD eGPU present, but all this is far from a fine solution.
Windows Benchmarks:
2. Unigine Heaven Preset Extreme:
|GTX 1080 Ti
|[email protected]RX 570
|[email protected]GTX 1080 Ti
1) For MS Hybrid nVidia install newest nVidia drivers.
2) Ms Hybrid works perfecty with two eGPUs, giving the choice on each display which card to be used. It works in both direction, which is great. Actually this surpassed clearly the MacOSX possibilities.
3) You can attach a display on each card.
4) Unigine Heaven is very "nVidia-friendly"
5) Unigine Heaven scores much higher on Windows than on MacOSX (party because of DirectX11 faster than OpenGL)
6) The loss for rendering on a foreign display is much lower than on MacOSX (High Sierra).
7) Most important: You don't need any hack/tinkering with the system to get both eGPUs running. There is no "punishing of nVidia" or anything similar.
I won't write a own build guide, but it's was to expected that there is no problem the have two AMD eGPUs running at once.
Most interesting is the fact that two different eGPU can be used to accelerate games. Here is copy from my post:
Actually it's quite possible and makes perfact sense to use multiple (e)GPUs in a game. A good example is Ashes of the Singulary, which profits from a multiple GPU setup and not just Crossfire/SLI:
To use it, check "Enable Multiple GPUs" in Video Option:
Ashes of the Singularity. 1440p Preset High.
The results are depending on which is primary display. While the GTX1080Ti as secondary display improves the performances of this RX570 from 37.6 to 55.0 FPS, the RX570 as secondary display is advisable:
|First eGPU
|One eGPUS
|Two eGPUs
When using two cards which are more similar to each other, there is always an improvement. See RX570 and RX580
When testing multiple eGPUs, of course two eGPUs shouldn't be the end of line, so let's see what happens with 3 eGPUs.
Plugging another ASUS XG Station Pro into the right port:
LuxMark uses all three eGPUs and yields a good result with the score of 51976 :
The internal display can be accelerated, too. With @mac_editor's fine software it can be done:
- The Breakaway Puck 570 pairs nicely with two Asus XG Station Pro.
- While the internal GPUs are being throttled under load, this is not the case for the external eGPU.
- set-eGPU prefers nVidia cards.
- Three eGPUs together can power a 15-inch MacBookPro. No additional power cable necessary.
One addition concerning Bootcamp/Windows:
It looks as it is not possible to run 3 eGPUs in Windows, because it's not possible run tun two eGPU on the same Thunderbolt Bus. It only works with max. 2 eGPUs, one for each side (one left, the other right).
Plugging two eGPUs at one Thunderbolt bus yields to the same issues like a Dual-GPU: One of the GPUs gets yellow banged with Error 12, the other won't work correctly either.
@itsage: Have you ever succeed in running two eGPUs at the same Thunderbolt Bus in Bootcamp?
@oliverb I actually never tried two separate eGPUs through on Thunderbolt bus (same side) in Boot Camp. It was due to Windows constant struggle with resource allocation for eGPU. One exception is my AKiTiO Node Duo build with the 2016 15″ MacBook Pro, the two Radeon RX 580 eGPUs did work through a single Thunderbolt 3 connection via one Thunderbolt 3 bus. This was possible through the disablement of both the dGPU PCIe connection, and the other Thunderbolt bus PCIe connection.
@itsage, thank you for this information. With my model (15-inch 2018) I think, I cannot disable the dGPU PCIe connection (or is it possible with losing internal display?).
Perhaps this may be interesting, too: On MacOSX, I cannot use a second nVidia eGPU. Using @mac_editor's purge-wrangle only the first plugged nVidia eGPU (here GTX 780 Ti) will work, the second one (should be GTX 1080 Ti) gets a "NVIDIA Chip Model" without any function. Of course, this is only for scientific purposes
Yes for some reason macOS could only detect one Nvidia eGPU at the front of a Thunderbolt chain. The only instance when I could connect two Nvidia eGPUs was through daisy-chaining them to AMD eGPUs. Here's a test when I got 4 total eGPUs going in macOS.
I made some tests with multiple eGPUs in Bootcamp for this 15-inch MBP 2018.
- Two eGPUs work suprisingly well if they are connected to different Thunderbolt busses (notebook sides). Even more surprising this works very well with two AMD eGPUs.
The dGPU should be disabled (it must be disabled when an AMD eGPU is present).
- Two eGPUs attached to the same notbook side won't work. Which leads automatically to:
- Three or more eGPUs won't work.
In MacOSX there are no such restrictions (but others as the second nVidia eGPU issue).
There is one special case, that actually three GPUs can work together and this is 2 nVidia eGPU with the Radeon dGPU:
But this is not easy to get as you must hotplug the nVidia eGPUs to avoid an black internal screen. Typically the second Hotplug will not succeed.
Breaking news is, that AMD eGPUs can work actually together with the AMD dGPU using Bootcampdrivers:

Marine Career Paper
When the United States decided to fight the Iraqis in Kuwait in the Desert Storm operation of 1991 or intervene in the violence in Somalia in the mid-nineties, the Marine Corps was called upon to execute the missions. While The Marines Corps is the branch of the Navy specializing in amphibious tactics, meaning that it combines land and water maneuvers. With the help of an air support division, Marines are a rapid-response force, able to deploy troops to anywhere on the globe on short notice. The Marines are intended for short-term strikes, leaving the longer missions to the larger and slower-moving Army. Five thousand Marines are stationed on Navy ships around the world, and along with major bases in Camp Pendleton, California, and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, 20,000 Marines live and work in Okinawa, Japan.
Broadly speaking, anyone who wants to be one of "the few, the proud" needs to choose between two career paths: that of an enlisted Marine and that of a commissioned officer. Enlistees make up the majority of the active-duty force of 178,000 men and women, but contrary to common belief, only 15% of them are infantrymen-those who do the sloshing, on-the-ground, in-the-line-of-fire work. The rest work in communications, electronics, intelligence, supply, armor, or other duties. Being one of the Marines' 18,000 officers requires a higher level of education, training, and commitment, but offers greater responsibility and career potential in return.
Many young men and women enlist in the Marine Corps directly after graduating from high school. Anyone 17 years of age or older can join, though 17-year-olds need parental permission. The benefits of enlisting in the Marines include health care, life insurance, 30 days of paid vacation a year, and in many cases, housing and all of the perks of living on a base, including a food commissary and free use of recreation facilities. Another attractive benefit of joining the military is the money available for college. The Montgomery GI Bill, enacted in 1944 to assist veterans of World War II, helps servicemen and women finance their educations, supporting them for up to 36 months in a college or university, trade school, correspondence courses, or flight school. The typical payment is $528 a month, though the amount varies with length of service, and it is good for up to ten years after a Marine ends his or her active duty.
Anyone who is considering enlistment should spend time talking to their local Marine recruiter who can lay out the nuances of the many programs offered. For example, two people can enlist together and be eligible for the "buddy deal," which insures that they will be stationed together and can qualify them for advanced rank and pay. The Quality Enlistment Program offers geographic choice in exchange for a six-year commitment. There is an enlistment option for musicians as well as "delayed entry," usually employed by high school students who wish to postpone the beginning of their active duty until after they graduate. Highly qualified applicants could be candidates for the Enlistment Options Program, which features cash bonuses and accelerated training programs.
When a person enlists directly out of high school, he or she has the rank of private. The first step in an enlisted Marine's career is basic training, better known as boot camp. Recruits spend 12 weeks being called "maggot" in either the Parris Island Recruit Depot in South Carolina or the San Diego Recruit Depot in California. They are up at five every morning for a day of marching drills, combat training, rifle instruction, and education in the history and traditions of the Corps.
With time and good performance, Marines are promoted through corporal, sergeant, master sergeant, and sergeant major levels, and pay is increased accordingly. Enlisted Marines who excel and want to join the officer ranks – a move that earns them the unofficial title of "mustang" – can do so by attending Officer Candidate School alongside of those seeking a commission out of college. A high school diploma or equivalent is required for enlistment in the Marines. Enlistees also must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test, which covers reading, math, science, and mechanics skills. Aside from the academic requirements, enlistees must be United States citizens and meet moral and physical standards. Another option is the ROTC program offered at many colleges.
The Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) was founded in 1926 to train future officers in the armed forces. The program pays for students' college tuition, and they earn their degree while being groomed for their military commission. Marine Corps aspirants participate in Naval ROTC, which is offered at more than 60 colleges and universities in the United States.
The primary benefit of participating in ROTC is the financial assistance: a college student's full tuition, cost of books, and other class fees are covered, and a monthly allowance is typically awarded. Students are responsible only for their own room and board. The requirements for receiving a scholarship specify that a student be more than 17 years old on September 1 of the year he or she enters college and less than 27 upon graduation. Qualified applicants must pass a physical exam and be legally allowed to bear arms in the United States. Academically, applicants need a high school diploma or equivalent, be accepted to a certified NROTC university, and receive a minimum score of 1100 on their SAT or their combined score from English and math section of the ACT must be at least 45. Upon graduating from NROTC, students enter the Marine Corps as second lieutenants. NROTC participants are committed to eight years of service in the Marine Corps, with at least four on active duty.
The ROTC academic curriculum for Marine-option students requires classes in national security policy and the history of American military affairs in addition to the regular academic requirements for the student's degree. Outside of the classroom, students must attend weekly three-hour sessions of drill instruction, inspection, and lectures. Other activities that NROTC midshipmen participate in include military balls, Fleet Week, parents' weekend, community service, and social outings.
The Marine Corps at the United States Naval Academy. Future Marines have the same Academy experience as those who plan on entering the Navy after graduation, but they attend the Corps' Basic School for 26 weeks after graduation to supplement their naval education with training in land navigation, small-unit tactics, weapons, and communications. They enter the Marines as second lieutenants and typically start off as platoon commanders in charge of 35-43 enlisted Marines. The time commitment to the Marines after graduating from the Naval Academy is five years.
Tuition, room and board, and medical and dental insurance are covered for all students, called "midshipmen," at the Academy. The hierarchy of midshipmen is generally structured by class, and first-year students are known as "plebes" rather than freshmen. They go through Plebe Summer before entering, a seven-week ordeal similar to boot camp that is intended to change them from "civilians to midshipmen."
Students at the Naval Academy have a highly regimented lifestyle, with times specified for meals, class, exercise, extra-curricular activities, studying, and sleep. As excellent physical fitness is expected in all midshipmen, everyone is required to participate in. In terms of classes, plebes have their class schedule essentially decided for them, with mandatory courses in calculus, chemistry, U.S. and naval history, naval science, and English/rhetoric. After the first year, students have more choice in their course work, selecting one of 18 majors while fulfilling core requirements in engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. All midshipmen, even humanities majors, graduate with a bachelor's of science degree to reflect the technical training they've completed. Alongside their academic pursuits, students must undergo at-sea training and character education.
Student life at the Academy is governed by a code of conduct called the Honor Concept. It is an agreement among midshipmen based on an idea of doing more than simply abiding by written rules. It encourages fairness and integrity and has no tolerance for lying, cheating, or stealing.
High school students who want to go to the Naval Academy should be sure to have four years of math and English on their transcripts as well as one year each of chemistry and physics, two years of a foreign language, two years of history, and demonstrated computer skills. For the entering class of 2005, 55% scored between 600 and 699 on their SAT verbal, and 58% scored in the same range on their SAT math. Almost all admits rank in the top fifth of their high school class.
