Luggage is very important when you are about to travel. Without proper luggage, your trip or travel would be comfortable. It is important to take the bags according to your days. Yes, when you are about to go for a couple of days then you have preferred a bag for that purpose. When you are about to go for a month out then you can take a trolley which is very comfortable to carry out. When you are going out overnight then you should prefer something right for a one night travel. Yes for this purpose you can use overnight bags which are very essential. In this article, you would get some ideas about the overnight bags which are also called duffle bag
Trendy Bags of 2020:
People have a crush on bags and they use to take them according to the place. When they use to go to markets they prefer one kind of bag and when they go out for parties they prefer one kind of bag. The actual trend of 2020 is that people are not using a single bag for all-purpose. They love to change their bags so often. They are interested to take one bag for night outs, or long trips. They prefer buying bags very immensely and love to choose them by visiting so many websites. Nowadays people are also interested in getting bags online as they could see plenty of collections among them and enjoy buying them.
If you get a trolley or a suitcase for a night out it would not be that fair. Yes. When you take these huge bags with you for one night out it makes you feel inconvenient to take the huge luggage all over the night. It makes you feel discomfort and your total concentration would be on the bags alone. It is always advisable to prefer the correct bag by keeping in mind the travel time. Even a bag can make your trip pleasant. It does matter. When you fear an uncomfortable dress you would be very disturbed. The same would be the case of the bags too.
Important Features:
When you shop for a bag you would be very conscious about the style and also with what kind you need to buy. The best thing is that when you do not have a proper bag then your mind would not be ready to travel. Before buying a bag you should be careful with such features. The first thing you should do is that the bags should be waterproofed one. The second thing is that it should be properly zipped and the last thing is that it should have a shoe compartment separately. When it is for official purpose then you should see whether it has a laptop compartment.
The reason for choosing waterproof bags is that when you are out in rainy time, the things inside your bags would be prevented. So it is important to prefer such bags with much clarity. You can also see the reviews of such bags and can decide it buys or not. You should not be in a hurry in preferring overnight bags.

I am from the pink ribbons,
the hot delicious coffee.
I am from the back deck.
I am from the purple roses,
the beautiful blue lake.
I am from the traditional everyday home-cooked meals
and the stubbornness that runs in my blood.
My parents are the first daughter and the last son
So I am from the respect your elders and don't talk to strangers.
Still, I am from a less than pious family.
I am from the blue waters and spicy shrimp and greens —–
I am from Casper the ghost and winter —o.k.
Summer trips to the beach.
I am from the black long box containing childhood pictures of my family and good memories.

Libraries at University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Assessment of Professionals' Outlook on the Application of Electronic Security Systems in Select University Libraries of Northern India
Date of this Version
Winter 12-12-2018
Gupta, Parul and Margam Madhusudhan. Assessment of Professionals' Outlook on the Application of Electronic Security Systems in Select University Libraries of Northern India.
In a digital era, library professionals are not only responsible for efficient transaction services but also act as custodian of material in all forms. With the constraints of funding, more and more librarians are relying on different technological advances such as Electronic Security Systems (ESSs) to bring security to library material, building, and premises. The present paper uses survey methodology to assess their perception of library professionals of select libraries of Northern India on different ESSs such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Closed-circuit television (CCTV), Biometric and Burglar system and its applications, benefits, and problems. The work highlighted that most of the libraries are using technology such as RFID, or Electro-Magnetic (EM) Tags and surveillance system than Biometric and Burglar for the security of library materials. The study raises awareness of the importance of ESSs for the betterment of the libraries and emphasizes the need to implement such security systems.

SBI Card has recently launched the SBI Card Pay service that enables customers to create a virtual card on their mobile phone for their physical Visa SBI credit card. The customers can now simply tap their mobile phone on a Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled point of sale (POS) terminal to make payments. Besides SBI Card app, the service is powered by Comviva's HCE Module from its mobiquity® Banking suite, that leverages host card emulation (HCE) technology and tokenisation to deliver swift, seamless, secure and convenient contactless mobile payments to customers.
To avail of the SBI Card Pay service, customers with an Android smartphone (housing Android OS KitKat version 4.4 and above) have to register their Visa SBI credit card on the SBI Card mobile application. This creates a virtual version of the physical card. Thereafter, customers can make payments at merchants by unlocking their mobile phone screen using fingerprints, the screen lock facility or an MPIN and tapping the phone at an NFC POS. This simple 'tap and pay' process has made contactless mobile payments swifter and more seamless for customers. fintech news
Hardayal Prasad, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, SBI Card, said, "SBI Card Pay is leveraging next-gen technologies like HCE to deliver faster, secure and more convenient contactless mobile payments to our consumers, redefining their payment experience. This new service will accelerate the growth of contactless mobile payments in India and make the country digitally empowered in the field of payments technology."
Srinivas Nidugondi, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mobile Financial Solutions, Comviva, said, "With the growing NFC POS infrastructure in India and mobile phones becoming de facto wallets for consumers, we expect 'tap and pay' to become the future of contactless payments in India. We are happy to say that Comviva is supporting SBI Cards to make this future possible through its mobiquity® Banking suite. The suite leverages HCE and tokenisation for seamless and secure contactless mobile payments and to bring the payment experience in India on par with the developed world."
Security has remained a priority, whilst launching this service. The SBI Card Pay service uses tokenisation to convert a customer's card information into a device-specific digital token. Hence, while executing a transaction, a digital token is shared and the customer's actual card information is never revealed to the merchant, thus securing the transaction. In case the customer's mobile device is misplaced, details of the card remain secure, as it is stored as digital tokens.
Moreover, customer convenience remains paramount. The service is a part of the SBI Card mobile application, which is a one-stop shop for managing credit card account, as well as making payments. Customers do not need to download any additional mobile application for this service.

The Slender-Fingered Cats of BubastisXanna Eve Chown
It wasn't true that you could see the Cats from space. It was impossible, a ridiculous idea that wouldn't stand up to even the slightest examination.
And yet there were people on Bubastis who believed it...
Most archaeologists – including Professor Bernice Summerfield – know only two facts about Bubastis: one is that its cheerless swamps are home to five giant stone Cats, whose ancient origins are shrouded in mystery; the other that it has more bugs and beetles than anyone should ever have to deal with.
So when Bernice, Ruth and Jack arrive on the planet to search for a missing girl, they are unprepared for what they will find. Like the insectoid villagers with a decidedly squeamish attitude to mammals. Or the archaeological expedition made up of over-sexed students. Or the alarmingly unprofessional Neon Tsara...
To make matters worse, Jack suddenly finds himself on the wrong side of the law and Ruth has brain-ache from ingesting forbidden historical knowledge. Worse still, Bernice has promised to write a book of poetry that's due to be published in a week... and she can't think of anything to rhyme with 'Bubastis.'

Dear Barry,
When we purchased our home, the home inspection report listed the furnace as "serviceable." After moving in, we had problems with heating, so we called a heating contractor. He said we have a Premier furnace that was recalled because of major safety problems. So now we have to buy a new furnace. Our Realtor says the home inspector is responsible. But the home inspector says he can't be expected to know about every product that's been recalled. Is the home inspector liable for having approved the furnace or are we stuck with the expense ourselves? –Jessica
Dear Jessica,
Home inspectors, in most cases, are not liable for product recall notices. But the Premier furnace matter is not a typical recall. It is probably the most widely publicized, most well-known recall to occur in many years. It has been a frequent subject of discussion among home inspectors — and even among Realtors — since 1999, and has been the topic of seminars, trade journals and even newspaper articles.
It would be difficult for a home inspector to have missed the issue, unless he were new to the inspection business. For a qualified home inspector, failure to recognize a Premier furnace as a potential safety hazard constitutes professional negligence.
It should be noted, however, that not all Premier furnaces are subject to the recall. This applies only to models equipped with nox rods in the burner chambers. These fixtures can be identified by the "x" at the end of the model number. On the other hand, Premier models that are not subject to the recall often have problems with the venting of combustion exhaust. A home inspector who carefully examines furnaces while they are in operation would notice this.
Your home inspector should reconsider the matter of his liability and let this be a professional learning experience.
Dear Barry,
I have several questions involving garage firewalls. What materials should be used to finish a garage firewall? What type of entry door is required in a firewall between a garage and a house? Why are no penalties imposed on home inspectors who fail to report firewall violations? And finally, are sellers required to disclose firewall violations in a garage? –Deb
Dear Deb,
A garage firewall is commonly covered with 5/8-inch fire-rated drywall, with all seams taped. Wall penetrations such as ducts must be made of metal. A door through a firewall can be a solid-core slab door with a minimum thickness of 1 3/8 inches; it can be a sheet metal door; or it can be a 20-minute fire-rated panel door. A fire door must also be self-closing, typically accomplished with a spring hinge.
Failure of a home inspector to disclose a substandard firewall or fire door is often a matter of professional negligence. A common exception would be a firewall that has 1/2-inch drywall only. Unless the edges of the drywall are exposed, it is not always possible to determine the thickness of the material.
Sellers are required to disclose defects of which they are aware. Most sellers, however, have no knowledge of firewall requirements and would be unaware of related violations.

Here's what I'm reading about today in the world of travel:
Cheap Flights of the Day: Cheap Flights to Europe from NYC with many cities below $500. $400 fares to Paris on Norwegian (which really isn't too horrible of a low-cost carrier).
In Case You Missed It: Learn about how to earn more miles.
And, Disney changes FastPass+ (for the better).
The AAdvantage shopping portal seems to be shaping up as a nice way to earn bonus miles on hotel bookings. Just yesterday I noted that it was possible to earn 2 AAdvantage miles per dollar if you clicked through their portal before booking directly with Hilton. Again, One Mile at a Time has more info that Hilton isn't the only hotel chain that you can earn bonus miles with. IHG and Choice are on the list now as well. It looks like these rates might not be eligible with corporate codes, but bookings made directly through the hotel's website using these links should qualify for elite benefits. I like that hotels are trying to innovate to drive more direct bookings.
If any of you watch my Instagram feed you won't find too much in the way of healthy food. My wife, on the other hand, is healthy enough for an entire family. She's got a guest post on Le Chic Geek that covers some gluten-free items which I didn't find truly horrible. My kids loved them, which is probably the best part since they were healthy.
Why, oh why, are the airlines hiring employees to help out TSA? Sure, it's a good short-term fix. But, I'd want some assurance that the TSA is going to fix things before I start subsidizing them even more. Should the TSA just step aside?
It looks like a lawsuit by two SPG hotels to block the Marriott/SPG merger is moving forward. I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago and it still has me puzzled. It seems unlikely these would be the only two hotels with a clause like this in their franchise agreements. And yet, they're the only two named in the suit. I'm also a little surprised there isn't a clause related to potential mergers that would give relief to SPG and Marriott against such lawsuits.
I still don't see any way the merger is slowed down by this but these two hotels are likely proceeding in the hopes of nullifying their franchise agreements or earning concessions from Marriott.
Norwegian launches service between Las Vegas and London. I'd be interested to try their premium product on a long route (though hopefully coming back to the US as opposed to a redeye). The reviews are decent. I flew them in economy last year and my only real complaint was slow internet, which is hard to complain about since it's free.

New rules for baby-product makers
WASHINGTON - The government is requiring the manufacturers of products for infants and toddlers to create programs for keeping in touch with people who own cribs, strollers, changing tables and other items.
Under the new rule, manufacturers will have to provide postage-paid registration forms with every infant and toddler product and then keep records of those who register. Each product will also have to feature in a permanent way the manufacturer's name and contact information, along with the product's model name, number and date of manufacture.
The requirements will improve the speed of distributing information about product recalls, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. Its officials unanimously approved the new rule last week.
The requirements apply to 18 categories of products: full-size cribs and nonfull-size cribs; toddler beds; high chairs, booster chairs, and hook-on chairs; bath seats; gates and other enclosures for confining a child; play yards; stationary activity centers; infant carriers; strollers; walkers; swings; bassinets and cradles; children's folding chairs; changing tables; infant bouncers; infant bathtubs; portable toddler bed rails; and infant slings.
The agency expects the new rule to be published in the Federal Register next week, likely on Tuesday. The rules will go into effect for 12 of the product categories 180 days after publication. The rules will go into effect one year after publication for the remaining six categories: children's folding chairs, changing tables, infant bouncers, infant bathtubs, portable toddler bed rails and infant slings.

We Have To Tell TSA Screeners About All Prescription Drugs? No. No. No.
One line. That's all it took to almost blow up the Internet Thursday.
A TSA spokesman admitted Thursday that one incorrect directive about traveling with prescription medications caused a stir around the Interwebs and on cable news.
That one line led a "news" blog to blow out a misleading headline that then almost became what passes for fact on the Internet today.
It began with a video posted Wednesday on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration YouTube channel. In the video, FDA officials discuss traveling with prescription medications.
In it, FDA health promotion officer Lindsay Davison talks about TSA regulations regarding prescription drugs.
"Passengers should inform [TSA] officers of medications and separate them from other belongings before screening begins," Davison says in the video.
Davison was actually quoting from a page on the TSA site called "What To Expect If A Passenger Needs Medication," last revised on April 24, 2014.
Notice the first line of the second paragraph in the below photo.
Was a government agency really saying that we need to point out all prescription drugs at TSA checkpoints?
Longer lines were about to morph into epic traffic jams.
The posting of this video led a "news" site to post a "story" with the headline, "FDA WARNS TRAVELERS TO TELL TSA ABOUT ANY PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THEY HAVE."
Their search optimization experts then went to work, as the story then got posted on six different sites, all with the same headline, all pointing back to the original link, where this "news" site edits down the four-minute video into the most incendiary 55 seconds.
Well played, SEO experts. Your crafty work caught the attention of FOX TV producers.
Soon, TravelPulse founder and CEO Mark Murphy was being asked to come on air to discuss this major shift in TSA policy.
Only one problem: there's no new policy, no major shift.
When we called the TSA about this FDA video and the web posts about it, they were caught off guard. A TSA spokesman said Thursday that there is no new policy here and said there is no need for passengers to alert TSA screeners about prescription medications, unless it is a liquid that exceeds 3.4 ounces, an already established policy.
Further, TSA screeners are not and will not be asking you to show them all your prescription drugs.
Good news, for sure.
That spokesman then pointed me to an official TSA blog post from Sept. 24, 2013 titled "Traveling with Medication."
That post makes no mention of alerting TSA screeners that you're carrying medications and/or separating out the medications before screening.
So what changed from September 2013 to April 2014 that then caused the FDA to quote the TSA in their new video, making it seem like there's a new policy?
Nothing, according to the TSA. It was a screw-up. That one line inadvertently got added to the wrong official post. The TSA official said it would be changed on the website ASAP.
But that one line about showing your drugs to screeners and separating your drugs from the rest of your baggage was included in an official FDA video. And that video then got blown up into sensationalist web headlines and almost led to a major cable newser reporting this new policy.
We've reached out to the FDA as to whether they'll pull down that video. No word yet.
Something tells me the TSA may be hiring a new proofreader.
UPDATE, 7:10 p.m. EST: The TSA has amended the page in question, making it abundantly clear that travelers need only alert TSA screeners when carrying prescription medicine in liquid form more than 3.4 ounces.

UPDATE: Pedestrian killed on I-95
Savannah Morning News
A pedestrian was killed Thursday evening when the person was struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 95 in Pooler.
Georgia State Patrol troopers were investigating the about 6:20 p.m. wreck on I-95 southbound beneath the Quacco Road overpass.
GSP officials did not have any additional information late Thursday about the incident that closed one lane and slowed traffic in the area for several hours.

You know, there is something very exciting about having booked a play several weeks in advance. You do look forward to it. It wasn't a very special night out for us. We didn't dress up, do a fancy dinner, or anything like that. In the end, we were rushing to get from Richmond into the City, and we had the quickest dinner ever before rushing off to the theatre. Nonetheless, it was still a treat, and when we finally sat in our seat, I was very glad to have been so organised and booked these really great seats.
The Theatre Royal Haymarket is a really lovely theatre. I was amazed at the intricate design of the theatre and its ornate carvings. We were seated in Row J, which on the map of seats looked really far away. But we were no more than 5 metres from the stage. Spitting distance really. Oh, to spit at Jean-Luc Picard. Hubby and I had no idea what we were in for. Apparently, this play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett has been read by everyone else in the world, except us. We've had missed responses, like "oh, it's absolutely wonderful" and "it's post-modern play on blah-blah-blah". (Really, the blah-blah-blah is where I tune out.) Okay, I'm really shallow. All I wanted to see was Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart in action. To be honest, no one could tell us what the play was about. Most people didn't understand it (and said so), or said it was a play about nothing, it was boring, it was 2 tramps and a tree etc. I really liked the one about it being a play about nothing. It reminded me of Seinfeld, and I did so enjoy Seinfeld.
So, we have very little expectation.
The set. The set for a stage with one tree was done really well. It was a tree growing in the middle of some old building ruins. And with lighting, it made for an interesting scene. Much better than the one I had imagined in my head.
Could I explain to you what the first half was about? Not really. Truly, it was a bunch of people talking about nothing. But you know, it's not an unfamiliar conversation. And did I get bored at some point? You betcha. The couple on either side of us clearly thought so, coz they did not come back after the first half. Or maybe it was us. See, I think the whole point is that we were meant to get quite bored. We think our conversation is interesting, but quite frankly we can get very boring. We are definitely not as interesting as we think we are. So the people who left missed that, I think. And also, they missed the second half, which I think was much better than the first because it started to pull the play together.
So what is it about? I think it can be anything you want it to be. Gogo and Didi could represent mankind, sitting around talking about nothing and waiting for life to happen. They do nothing, and when they decide to do something, they take ages actually deciding to do it. In fact, the conversation was as mundane as two drunks talking about philosophy etc. Was Didi neurotic? Probably. He sees a child that I think Gogo doesn't. But yet in his own way, Didi finds something to stay positive and Gogo is a real grump. Anyway, the play is a whole stream of consciousness conversation, and quite frankly, the conversation is meaningless. But that, I think, is the whole point.
And what of the actors? They are so very, very good. And to me, they made the play even more interesting. Not done well, I can really see the play being terribly boring. Ian McKellan is superb as the tramp. He had all the twitches and movement of an old man. He looked smelly. I would've given him a wide berth in the street. Patrick Stewart was very good too. But there's something in his voice that still reminded me of Jean-Luc Picard. I half expected the holodeck game to end, and him to be back in his uniform on the Starship Enterprise. Ian McKellan, by comparison, did not remind me of any of the characters he had played before – not Gandalf, and not Magneto. But after a while, you stop thinking about them and the previous parts that they played, and they were just two trampy characters on stage with not much to live for, but for each other.
And this is one of the great things of being in London – it is that you can access plays performed by fabulous actors such as these, and say that you've been in the same room as them, albeit with a thousand other people, but in the same room nonetheless. That's quite cool, really.

New Toyota Prius Super GT contender revealed
The apr Racing squad will field two brand new Toyota GR Prius PHVs in Super GT's GT300 division after revealing the hybrid-powered car at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
apr first brought the Prius to Super GT in 2012 and has continued to run the car with various hybrid systems since then, most recently with a supercapacitor.
After some early reliability troubles, apr successfully transformed the car into a regular championship contender, finishing second in the standings twice during the last four years.
However, with the Prius' mid-engine layout outlawed for 2019, the team was forced to design an all-new car to stay in the category.
The new generation Prius, which complies with the front-engine layout requirement, was first seen at Fuji Speedway in December and was officially unveiled by apr on Friday.
The car will run on a Lexus RC F GT3-sourced 5.4-litre V8 engine, mated to the same supercapacitor used in the previous generation Prius.
The new engine replaces the old 3.4-litre V8 motor that was derived from older Toyota Super Formula and Lexus GT500 cars.
As far as the driver line-up is concerned, Yuki Nakayama will leave Team UpGarage to join Koki Saga in the Bridgestone-shod #31 Prius.
Hiroaki Nagai will continue to drive the #31 car that will run on Yokohama tyres and will be paired alongside Manabu Orido.
The announcement means Kohei Hirate will leave apr Racing after just one season, lending credence to reports he is set to join Nissan's GT500 roster.

Expanded Honda GT300 field
Honda will have an expanded presence in the GT300 class this year, with three teams fielding NSX GT3s on the grid.
Team UpGarage and ARTA will switch to Honda machinery, joining Drago Corse. There is no confirmation if CarGuy Racing will stay in the category, with an official press release stating its "continued participation is under consideration".
As far as the drivers are concerned, Takashi Kobayashi will stay with UpGarage and team up with Kosuuke Matsuura, who returns to GT300 category for the first time since 2012.
F2 racer Nirei Fukuzumi will make his Super GT debut with ARTA, joining veteran racer and team boss Shinichi Takagi, while Drago Corse will field an unchanged line-up of former GT500 champion Ryo Michigami and Hiroki Otsu.
Elsewhere, Leon Racing confirmed that it will continue to run Haruki Kurosawa and Naoya Gamou for a fifth consecutive season following their championship success last year at the wheel of a Mercedes AMG GT3.
Cars Tokai Dream28, which runs a Lotus Evora MC, has also decided to retain both Kazuho Takahashi and Hiroki Katoh. The two drivers have been racing for the squad since 2006.
Several teams also revealed liveries for the upcoming season, including Mercedes squad GoodSmile Racing with Team Ukyo, which runs the colours of vocaloid and anime star Hatsune Miku.

A few months ago, I wrote about the sexual revolution that needs to happen, but won't. Partly because the more powerful can, and often do, elicit grudging "consent" from the less powerful, seeing mutual consent as the sole moral criterion for sexual interactions is problematic. That's one of the sexual revolution's unwanted progeny. We need a richer understanding of freedom and human relatedness than American individualism now allows. That would be a great sexual revolution.
But the consent problem is only one of the old revolution's troublesome progeny. The brood is so big that we need to be asking some fundamental questions about the progenitor itself.
Earlier this month Mary Eberstadt, senior researcher at the Faith and Reason Institute and author of Adam and Eve After the Pill and How the West Really Lost God, reminded students at the University of Notre Dame of truths about the sexual revolution that too few are ready to acknowledge: "The most globally reviled and widely misunderstood document of the last half century is also the most prophetic and explanatory of our time."
That document was a papal encyclical: Humanae Vitae by Paul VI. What occasioned it was the mass marketing of the recently invented birth-control pill. Against the recommendation of a recently appointed papal commission, the document reaffirmed the ban on contraception that the Catholic Church has upheld for as long as we have records, and which the rest of the Christian world also upheld until the Anglican Communion's 1930 Lambeth Conference.
So, what is the legacy of Humanae Vitae?
Well, Eberstadt notes that every one of the document's doleful predictions about the social and political consequences of widespread contraception have proven correct. And then some.
For instance, one argument for contraception was, and in some quarters still is, that making it cheap and easy to obtain would reduce abortion and out-of-wedlock births. Of course, the opposite has happened—as Paul VI predicted. Another argument was, and still is, that cheap and easy contraception would empower women by freeing them to make sexual choices without fear of unwanted pregnancy. To be sure, that is sometimes the case. But it is not reliably the case; otherwise, abortion and out-of-wedlock births would not have increased, partly as a result of contraceptive failure.
And what about women's empowerment, anyway? Paul VI also predicted that men would be more inclined to treat women with disrespect if they could have sex without, as it were, "consequences." Can anyone seriously argue that women today are less often treated as sexual objects by men than they were 50 or 100 years ago? Quite the contrary. Encouraged by contraception, as well as by cheap and easy access to online porn, men today treat women as sexual objects at least as often as they ever did.
While studies and stats are understandably lacking, it's plausible to believe that the problem today is worse than ever. And Eberstadt explained why.
"While women may appear freer, [Eberstadt] said, contraception has diminished men's sense of responsibility for pregnancy, and therefore eroded their sense of responsibility toward pregnant women. "By making the birth of the child the physical choice of the mother, the sexual revolution has made marriage and child support a social choice of the father," she said, citing analysis by George Akerlof, Janet Yellen, and Michael Katz."
When men's sense of responsibility for pregnancy diminishes, so that they feel little inclination to marry the mothers of the babies they beget, not only are women more inclined to abort, men are more inclined to believe they are entitled to sex without consequences. We can thank cheap and widely available contraception for that. Indeed, from the standpoint of Supreme-Court decisions, the "rights" to contraception and abortion go hand-in-hand. In practical terms they have to, because contraception is not totally reliable and abortion is needed as a backup—if not always from the women's standpoint, then quite often from the man's. That's why many women who abort are pressured to do so by the fathers.
Humanae Vitae also predicted that some governments would actually coerce people into contracepting and aborting. Soon after HV was published, the Chinese government did just that with its "one-child-per-family" policy—ended only last year, because of its disastrous demographic consequences. And if you don't think that nice, forward-thinking Western nations could condone such policies, think again. Much-needed aid to poor African nations is sometimes conditioned on their accepting widespread distribution of free contraceptives.
Pope Francis has called that "ideological colonialism."
In the same vein, Eberstadt cited Obainuju Ekaocha, a Nigerian-born author, who responded to a contraceptive initiative by billionaire Melinda Gates in an open letter.
"I see this $4.6 billion buying us misery," Ekaocha wrote. "I see it buying us unfaithful husbands. I see it buying us streets devoid of innocent chatter of children…. I see it buying us a retirement without the tender loving care of our children."
That's pretty much what we're seeing in much of the developed world.
Of course all these problems don't prove HV's central point, which was that contraception is "intrinsically evil." But they are inductively useful evidence that seeking sexual pleasure while taking steps to suppress the main biological purpose of sex is somehow disordered.
Unfortunately, the people who most need to hear the bad news about this fallout from the sexual revolution are those least disposed to do so. How bad must things get before people start rethinking the revolution?

I must have sat there in our driveway that night for a good half hour before mustering up enough courage to move my body out of the car and up the walkway that would lead to our living room where I knew my husband would be waiting up for me.
Just like I had imagined, and much to my disappointment, there he was, faithfully waiting up for me.
The scene of walking into our home that night is forever imprinted upon my memory. I will never forget how beautiful he was. A gentle smile came across his face when I walked into the room; which just seemed only to make everything much worse than it already was. I didn't want him to be happy with me or to show me the love I didn't deserve. In fact, it would have been easier if he hated me and was a horrible husband. I just wanted to sneak into bed alone and let him live apart from me. I knew what I was doing and that I wasn't planning on giving it up, but I also knew he didn't deserve my betrayal the same way I knew I didn't deserve his love.
I felt dirty, ashamed, and like a total fraud. In fact, nothing about my life made sense or was clear anymore and I began to become disillusioned to truth and wonder if any of the good my husband and I had together had ever been real to begin with.
Truthfully, I desperately wanted to wish away the good as though it would better excuse my choices to destroy what we had together if nothing had ever truly been good to begin with.
I mean, why would I willingly choose ruin everything if my marriage was mostly good?
For the first time, I actually began to wish I could come up with some awful truth about the state of our marriage or the man I was married to that would make my fleshly indulgence a bit more palatable to my own conscience, and to the rest of the world.
But in the end, even in all of it's imperfection, I knew that I could not blame our marriage or my husband for my choices.
While it is true he had been working a lot, so often I felt more like a single mom than a married woman, even then I knew that would never hold up in the grand scheme of things. How many faithful spouses could say the exact same? How many single and married women alike would give their right arm for what I have?
Then there was his pornography addiction we had struggled and worked through time and again for years earlier in our marriage that maybe a part of me was still a little resentful over, but I had forgiven him. Even then I wasn't naive enough to believe that any marriage is perfect or never goes through dry spells, or that any imperfection is a legitimate excuse to wholly betray the man I loved; the man I had promised my heart and my faithfulness to some nine years ago.
On the other hand, the other side, the much less logical part of me wasn't so sure I was ready to out myself and end it all; because after all, it is wholly true that there is pleasure in sin… for a season. I would be lying if I didn't admit that so much of me was enjoying the intoxicating emotional high of the new love and lust (mostly lust) of a secret affair. Truth, it was overwhelming and empowering – intoxicatingly so. Like living in another dimension of another world, in someone else's story that wasn't your own, an escape from the reality of the real world, with all of its pressures and struggles. As awful as I felt about it all, I wasn't exactly ready to just give that up.
So on this night, and others to follow, I went to bed with my husband, as if everything was exactly as it should be, and loved him. I never stopped loving him, not even for a moment. Even in the midst of my ridiculousness. And as much as I might have wanted to or wished I could, I never blamed him for my actions, or anyone for that matter.
{The unbearable weight of my sin would eventually fall squarely on my own shoulders for a time. But not today.}
I was fully aware of what I was doing and fully aware of the consequences that could follow. But for now, I decided not to care. I was having far too much fun "making myself happy" to call the whole thing off, confess, and come clean.
The days that followed that first night continued in an obsessive whirlwind of endless texts, phone chats, plans for secret getaways, and plans of a future together which included discussions of us both walking away from our present reality for a new life with one another. It would be simple, we would both leave our spouses and raise our children together in a new place, with a new life. Easy right?
People in the midst of affairs and fleshly pleasure (emotional or otherwise) don't stop to contemplate the inevitable devastation to come. Nor do they realize that in the end, no one gets out happy.
But even then, I was at least acutely aware of how ridiculous the entire thing was. But I was plain tired of not being ridiculous. Truth is, I was tired. I just wanted a divorce from reality. I wanted to know what it felt like to not always "do the right thing," I wanted a vacation from the role of responsible wife and mom who held it all together, to have a little fun – to enjoy being young and beautiful and passionately wanted by someone who didn't have to want me, but did anyways.
{I've spent the past five years since the affair analyzing and picking apart the details of my story and my actions only to admit, there is no sense to made of sin other than this truth}:
I just wanted what I wanted.
And for a time, I sincerely didn't care about whatever wreckage it would create, the hearts it would break, or the pain we would all endure. I did not care.
I wanted what I wanted. I wanted to be selfish, indulgent, and reckless because I had darn well earned the right to have a little fun and make. myself. happy. for once.
Such is the natural state of every single human heart apart from truth.
I could never speak for others, but I do know that the major problem for me in living like I was was this, I was never my own, my life was not my own. I had already been won over by love and bought with a price. If I chose to run from that forever I would eventually lose the very thing I had convinced myself I was trying desperately to save – myself and my freedom.
Still, for now I was both hiding and running.
Hiding from the truth inside that chased me down like a wave chasing the inevitable shoreline. Running, full force ahead into a dark world of my own making. A dark world that would threaten to change everything, to destroy everything, forever.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? ~Psalm 139:3-7

So a few things have changed since the last time I updated this blog. In fact, the day after my last post (June 29th, 2012) I found out I was pregnant! After 4 years of struggling with infertility, it was an amazing moment. That positive pregnancy test came after our 3rd cycle of shots in the stomach, every other day visits to the clinic that was 2 hours away, followed up with an IUI, and yes - it was all worth it.
This is when Mommy and Clarabelle Hope got to see each other for the first time. She is beautiful.
Here we are during last year's harvest. This was actually on my birthday, June 30th.
At our wonderful friends' wedding (the Cantillon's). Both Mark and I were honored to stand up as part of the wedding party.
Showing off her masterful skill of quickly and quietly climbing everything. We have now resorted to only using folding chairs in the kitchen so we can fold them up after we're done eating.
There are hundreds of other pictures I want to share to document how adorable and rambunctious and sweet my little girl is....but I just want this to be an update of the past 2 years! Another exciting, scary, and long awaited thing is that we have moved to the farm. You might have noticed in the above picture that the dining room looks very different than the previous pictures I have shared of our house. Our house in town, that I absolutely love, is for sale. It was our first home, I spent hours-days-weeks updating and painting and decorating so that it felt like "us" when you walked in. The farmhouse we have moved into was Mark's grandparents. And if you have ever moved into a family member's previous home, you know the difficulties and emotions that come with it. But there are many wonderful things about being able to live on the farm-being out in the country, so close for Mark, it really will be wonderful. Yep I now truly get to experience everything that goes along with being a farmer's wife, including the "trips to town" I remember from growing up - where those 10-12minute drives into town seem like such a chore, and any chance you are in a town with a Wal-Mart or equivalent store requires a stop because who knows when the next time you'll be there will be.
And so....such is life. The Minutes that are purely Miranda's are few and far between. But life has become much more enjoyable and meaningful in the hectic moments. And I hope to keep updating and documenting all of my minutes.

The moment Kim "Reignover" Yeu-jin signed his immediate future to Team Liquid, it seemed inevitable that a host of other big name players would follow the NA LCS MVP in a bid to form a potentially World Championship-worthy roster. Rather it is last season's relegation strugglers Phoenix1 who have faired best in the offseason, dramatically improving their season's chances with two major Korean imports.
Phoenix1 are set to announce the addition of former H2K-Gaming Mid Laner Yoo "Ryu" Sang-ook and former KT Rolster AD Carry No "Arrow" Dong-hyeon to their formidable 2017 Spring Split roster. The team have significantly upgraded their squad after sitting at the foot of the NA LCS for the majority of the Summer Split.
P1 have now opted to remove the inconsistent Brandon "Mash" Phan, having already brought in former Immortals Support Adrian "Adrian" Ma into the bot lane who will now duo with Arrow. Rookie Mid Laner Choi "Pirean" Jun-will remain as a sub, though Ryu will undoubtedly start for the LCS Championship hopefuls.
Phoenix1 have re-signed impressive Jungle rookie Rami "Inori" Charagh, also retaining Top Laner Derek "zig" Shao in what forms a prominently solid roster in an offseason full of uncertainty. Though the talent pool is limited, Zig and Inori have grown tremendously over the past year and are some of the best talent NA has to offer. Adrian – despite his marijuana issue – has already proven his worth in the NA LCS, whilst the additions of Arrow and Ryu will add a critical element of Korean quality.
With a potent roster all sealed for the Spring Split, Phoenix1 should be targetting a top 3 finish in the NA LCS – they've certainly performed far better than Team Liquid in their offseason dealings…
From a rumoured carry trio of Reignover + Song "Smeb" Kyung-ho and Eugene "Pobelter" Park to a confirmed combination of Samson "Lourlo" Jackson and Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer… that's quite a fall from grace.
Team Liquid's bolstered finances have been well-publicised over the course of 2016, with cash rich sponsorships flying in from a number of directions including Monster Energy, Razer and PokerStars.com. The organisation were linked with nearly every highly valued free agent in the professional scene, with many expecting the team to acquire some heavy talent in the offseason.
In reality, Team Liquid have little to show for all the rumours and cash-rich investors. Instead, the team will promote two of its former Team Liquid Academy lineup to its main roster: Mid Laner Goldenglue and the re-introduction of 2013 World Champion AD carry Chae "Piglet" Gwang-jin. Top Laner Samson "Lourlo" Jackson and Support Matthew "Matt" Elento will remain with the starting squad.
It's hardly the roster Team Liquid fans will have hoping for.
With Chae "Piglet" Gwang-jin stepping back up to the main roster alongside Reignover in the Jungle, TL have filled both of their import slots with Korean talent. The move will force former Mid Laner Kim "FeniX" Jae-hun to pursue his future elsewhere.
Team Liquid's roster is solid, but it's a fairly anti-climatic lineup given all the rumours surrounding the team in the offseason – Phoenix1 have stolen the limelight ahead of the 2017 Spring Split.

- We were out of bed in plenty of time this morning but we didn't really account for us having to leave about 20 minutes early to get Robby to church in time to practice passing out the Lord's Supper. Robby called out that we had only 20 minutes left and we still had to eat breakfast, dress Whitman and I had 3 girls hair to brush. Robby threw doughnuts at everyone while I yanked out hair while brushing it. (Actually, I only had 2 girls' hair to put up because Reagan wanted to wear her hair down this morning-she probably hasn't worn her hair down in months!)
- Robby was able to sit with us during big church but he had to sneak off to hand out the Lord's Supper upstairs This was fine but goodness gracious my arms just weren't long enough-Anderson and Graham are my only ones to partake of the Lord's Supper and they were swishing the grape juice so much that I thought it was going to fly out of their cup and stain the people's shirts in front of us and I tell you I thought I was going to have to do the heimlich on Graham after he had the cracker.
- This was our last week in our Sunday school classes. The kids will have all new teachers and we will have a whole class of new 3rd graders. Graham will be in our class this year which means that Anderson will not be. Though I do have a strong suspicion that Robby will be spending a good deal of time looking across the hall at Anderson to check on his behavior!
- We had lunch at Grannymom's house today and we were able to celebrate Jenna's birthday. Grannymom made Jenna's favorite meal-roast, potatoes and carrots. Some of my crew had been asking for cooked carrots but I didn't get a chance to see if they actually ate any or if they were all talk (Keaton has been saying that she wants to try salad for months now but whenever she gets the opportunity, she says that she will try it next time.)
- Today, Robby looked back at the blog and saw that the kids lost their kindles last year when we celebrated Jenna's birthday and again this year, they ended up losing their ipads. My 3 big ones had the most difficulty ever getting in the car and buckling up this morning-Graham was climbing in the back doors, others were locking the doors and I was about to loose my mind. They ended up loosing their ipads for the afternoon and were told they had to fold the laundry and then they had to choice to go to bed for an hour and a half or to do school work for an hour. They all picked school work so I spent my afternoon groggily checking papers.
- After everyone was released from the work, they spent what was left of the afternoon watching tv, playing their ipads and the xbox. Campbell even spent some of her time doing more school work. Robby heated up supper and then we had the laziest Sunday evening ever-we didn't do a thing. Whitman, Campbell and Keaton played some games, the little girls made some bracelets, the boys watched some Olympics and most folks played the xbox some.
- It was nearly 9 when we did put everyone to bed. We had become slackers on reading our Bibles story so tonight we started back. The only difference this time was that Whitman sat down cooperatively with us and listened (mostly) to everything. I guess that baby is growing up...some, he still wets his pants though!

Flynn Gave Info on Attempts to Obstruct Mueller Probe
Former U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn gave Special Counsel Robert Mueller information about multiple attempts by people to obstruct the Russia investigation, according to court documents made public on Thursday.
The attempts to obstruct Mueller's probe were made by people associated with the administration of President Donald Trump or with Congress, according to the filings, which were unsealed at prosecutors' request.
Flynn "informed the government of multiple instances, both before and after his guilty plea, where either he or his attorneys received communications from persons connected to the Administration or Congress that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation,"Mueller wrote in a memo originally submitted under seal ahead of Flynn's planned sentencing on Dec. 18, 2018.
"The defendant even provided a voicemail recording of one such communication. In some instances, the SCO was unaware of the outreach until being alerted to it by the defendant," he wrote, using the acronym for the Special Counsel's Office.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about his December 2016 conversations with Sergei Kislyak, then Russia's ambassador in Washington, about U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow by the administration of Trump's Democratic predecessor Barack Obama. The conversations took place between Trump's November election victory and his inauguration in January 2017.
Flynn had been scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 18 but the judge fiercely criticized the retired U.S. Army lieutenant general for his actions and delayed his sentencing until after he has finished helping prosecutors with other probes.
Mueller has asked for the judge not to sentence Flynn to prison given his substantial cooperation.
Flynn is still cooperating with prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia against his former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian, who was indicted on allegations of unregistered lobbying on behalf of Turkey. Rafiekian has pleaded not guilty and will take his case to trial scheduled to begin in July.
Mueller completed his investigation in March. While he did not find that there was a conspiracy between Moscow and the Trump campaign to influence the 2016 election, his report describes multiple actions Trump took to try to impede the investigation but stopped short of declaring the president had committed a crime.
The new disclosures in the Flynn case come with Democrats divided over how to react to the Mueller report. While some are calling for impeachment proceedings, others believe it could backfire politically and are backing continued investigations into other matters.

Quote:They are also noted to be very well equipped in order to feed the large centaur babies.
MattII said:A pretty good faction overall, but...
Satyr/Satyr Bowman - this name makes little sense, the base unit has a bow as well. Perhaps swap the abilities (make 'rain of arrows' the base ability and 'no melee penalty' the upgrade one), and change the upgrade name to Satyr Ranger.
Boar - the lineup lacks any creature with really tanky abilities, so maybe this is the place for them. Drop 'unfettered', and replace it with 'infinite retaliation'. Oh, and maybe swap it with the Centaur.
Centaur/Centaur Marauder - feels slightly too high to me, so swap it with the boar. Also, is the bow in the picture going to be used.
Chimera - Doesn't quite fit IMO, maybe could be replace with Lamasu?
kiryu133 said:
The Boar and Auroch are conceptually very similar and seem to inhabit the same role. I would propose changing one of them. Secondly, the Chimera seems somewhat random here and I can't help but feel there are better fitting creatures not to mention it's ability is underwhelming. You can do a whole lot better than a "fire-breath". I can also see how it does fit in, being a mix of different creatures but the lore description don't fit the rest of the presentation.
Mediczero said:Hmm, good point about the satyr, I'll follow it. Maybe a different name than ranger.
Quote:The problem I found with centaur in many of the past heroes games (I-V) is that the centaur was too low tier. I mean, it's a man with the behind of a horse, it must could do better than tier 1. I like it in tier 4, and this is to stronger male variant so it shouldn't be less that the boar.
Quote:The chimera stays for now, unless you can come up with something better than a lamasu (how the **** that fits more is beyond me)
MattII said:I chose the Lamasu because I felt that the Chimera was a bit typhonic for a faction that seems to have an otherwise fairly neutral (on the good-vs-evil scale) feel to it.
Minastir said:The only thing I don't like (just like my predecessors) is having both Boar and Auroch in the same line-up, they are both quiet similar in terms of visuals and play style (oh by the way, onlt beastMan only have upgrades ? because only Satyr, Harpy and Centaur have upgrades the rest of them doesn't).
ANcientDRuids said:Beastman faction is a great idea. In my "next possible iteration of heroes game" I imagined it as one of the 5 factions, along Humans, Wood-dwellers (Elves and magic creatures), Undead and Summons (Academy's Genies and Phoenixes, but also demons).
I love everything about totems.
However, placing Thunderbirds, boars and aurochs in the line-up is, in my opinion, a huge waste. Why use beasts in a beastmen faction? Leave them to be pets or workforce and let the real warriors wage wars. Bulky Bearmen, Minotaurs and Wolfmen, swift Dearmen, Jackalmen and Tigermen or venomous Lizardmen, Antmen and Scorpiomen. I'd also move Chimera to be the champion. Then again, it could be more humanoid. Breath of Fire 3 design would make a beautiful inspiration.
In my vision, beastmen are savage natives. They are innately powerful, but constantly fight for territory with other 'clans' (species). That's why they're being constantly pushed back by other factions. It would take a smart and powerful leader for them to unite.

ANcientDRuids said:I know. That's also what makes them great antagonists or just enemies, instead of Orcs and Demons, which are so, so overused in Fantasy.

Another example:
A family friend sends you an e-mail with the subject "Look how ridiculous you look in this video", and it has an attachment that's called crazy_party.wmv.exe. Regardless of whether you went to a crazy party recently or not, you don't want to open this attachment. Instead, contact the family friend first. Have them verify that they sent you an e-mail with a video. More often than not, you will find that your family friend did not send you a video, and that their computer is infected with a virus that is trying to spread to all their contacts.
Additionally, the name of the file (crazy_party.wmv.exe) has .exe as the file extension. When .exe is at the end of a file, that file is a program, and not a video. So, if you receive an e-mail, and the file says .exe at the end of it, remember that file is a program, and not a video, or picture, or document.
Another good practice to follow:
If you feel you need to see the contents of an attachment and cannot verify it with the sender, then don't open the attachment. Instead, save the attachment to your desktop, and then scan the attachment with your anti-virus program. If your anti-virus program says it's clean, then you are most likely safe to open the attachment.
Check Your Address Bar
Make sure that you're at the site you think you're at. If you're suspicious that you are at a malicious website, shopping online, checking web based e-mail, or doing online banking, then check your address bar and make sure that you're at the website you think you're at. Often times malicious websites will attempt to look like legitimate websites, and many times they look pretty convincing, but if you check the address bar you can usually see whether the site is legitimate or not.
For Example:
If you're shopping at Amazon.com, when you look at your address bar, you'll see something that looks like this:
You'll notice that at the beginning of the address, it shows http://www.amazon.com/ This is an indicator that you are at the Amazon website because amazon.com appears as the actual .com address that you have visited.
Now take a look at this address:
You'll notice in this address that http://www.amazon.xdealsx.com/ appears at the beginning of the address. In this case, you are not actually at amazon.com. Instead you are at xdealsx.com which is not amazon.com, and in this example xdealsx.com would be a malicious website trying to hijack your amazon.com account.
As a note, xdealsx.com is not a real website as of this writing. We only used that name as an example of what a malicious link in your address bar could look like. So, if you're doing any business online, please check your address bar as a way to verify that you're at the site that you believe you should be at. It's one more way that you can reduce the risk of an infection, or identity theft.

For Maureen Green (née Brown), 35, the New York City Marathon has always been magical. The Staten Island native grew up watching the elite runners break the tape on TV. When she began running in high school, she envisioned flying over the five boroughs herself someday.
In 2009, she finished her first 26.2 in New York City. Then in 2017, she had her first baby, a girl, the night before the marathon kicked off.
"We had picked a boy's name, but we hadn't settled on a girl's name," Green told Runner's World. "Then the next morning, when Shalane Flanagan won the race, my friends started texting me, 'You should name her Shalane!' We considered it, but we worried that having that name would put too much pressure on her. So we went with Amelia instead."
As a lifetime runner, Green always thought of herself as healthy and fit, and she didn't consider that her health might one day be in jeopardy. When she first discovered a lump on her breast in August 2018, when she was 34, she figured it was nothing to worry about. She didn't have a family history of breast cancer, she said.
"I went in to see the doctor about it, and they gave me an ultrasound and mammogram," Green said. "There were six spots that showed up on the screening, so the doctors said they needed to analyse them. Six days later, they called me back in with bad news: I had breast cancer. I was completely shocked."
Green didn't take much time to dwell on the news, though. "I needed an action plan so I didn't just sit and think about being a cancer patient," she said. Her doctors swiftly mapped out a 14-month intensive treatment plan that included fertility treatment—chemotherapy can damage reproductive cells, so Green froze her eggs—a bilateral mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
With a plan in place, Green took out her calendar and counted the months until she would be finished with treatment. Her final immunotherapy session was planned for the end of October 2019, just a few days before the NYC Marathon.
"I decided then and there that I'd sign up for the marathon," she said. "At the time, it felt like it would be impossible to do after all the treatments and surgeries. But I figured I might as well try. I had to have a goal to get me through that year."
During five months of chemotherapy that spanned from last winter to spring, Green said it was difficult to run, but she made a point to go out for a few miles two or three times per week. Even though she felt weak, she often brought Amelia along with her for support.
"It's hard to run with a stroller when you're not feeling great," she said. "I had a few bad days, but more good days."
She had a bilateral mastectomy in March, then started radiation treatment in May. In June, she began training for New York City, which she planned to run as part of Fred's Team, a charity that raises money for cancer research. Unlike the other marathons she trained for in the past, for this one, she didn't put pressure on herself to nail certain splits or hit a specific mileage goal.
"I'm typically not easy on myself when it comes to training," she said. "But this time, I was kinder to myself. Instead of trying to run 50 miles a week and do a 23-mile long run, I ran 35 to 40 miles per week and my longest run was 18 miles."
With the exception of long runs, Green pushed her daughter in the stroller throughout her buildup. Before she began ramping up her mileage, she asked her doctors whether they'd advise marathon training during cancer treatment.
"My oncologist couldn't believe I could do it, but she encouraged me to run if I felt good doing it," she said. "There are a lot of studies out there that show that working out is helpful in treatment, as long as you don't do too much. My doctor said that I shouldn't be surprised if running didn't feel like it used to."
Though she wasn't as fast as before, the simple act of running boosted Green's spirits.
"There were times when I was just so tired and I didn't want to get out the door," she said. "But I told myself, 'You're here, you're running, you're moving.' I was happy to still be able to do it."
About a week before the marathon on November 3, Green went in for her final treatment. Earlier this year, she received the great news that she responded positively to chemotherapy and was cancer-free. The race was a celebration of beating cancer—and a chance to enjoy the sport and the city that supported her through her lowest moments. Green finished New York City in 4:11:43, nearly an hour faster than she expected.
"It was the best race I've ever had," said Green. "It was slower than my other marathons, but I wanted it to be fun. I'm normally serious in races, but this time I wrote my name on my shirt, high-fived people, and stopped and said thank you to my friends cheering."

We've been tracking an issue with GeForce GTX 970 memory use for a little while now, most notably via this thread in our forums. Some GeForce GTX 970 owners have noticed unusual behavior from these cards compared to the GTX 980. Specifically, the GTX 970 sometimes appears to allocate less than its full 4GB of memory in cases where the GTX 980 does. Also, when asked to go beyond 3.5GB using a directed test, GTX 970 memory bandwidth appears to drop. We even discussed the issue on the Alt+Tab Show last night.
Nvidia has been looking into the issue and has now issued the following statement:
The GeForce GTX 970 is equipped with 4GB of dedicated graphics memory. However the 970 has a different configuration of SMs than the 980, and fewer crossbar resources to the memory system. To optimally manage memory traffic in this configuration, we segment graphics memory into a 3.5GB section and a 0.5GB section. The GPU has higher priority access to the 3.5GB section. When a game needs less than 3.5GB of video memory per draw command then it will only access the first partition, and 3rd party applications that measure memory usage will report 3.5GB of memory in use on GTX 970, but may report more for GTX 980 if there is more memory used by other commands. When a game requires more than 3.5GB of memory then we use both segments.
We understand there have been some questions about how the GTX 970 will perform when it accesses the 0.5GB memory segment. The best way to test that is to look at game performance. Compare a GTX 980 to a 970 on a game that uses less than 3.5GB. Then turn up the settings so the game needs more than 3.5GB and compare 980 and 970 performance again.
Here's an example of some performance data:
Shadows of Mordor
<3.5GB setting = 2688×1512 Very High
>3.5GB setting = 3456×1944
55fps (-24%)
45fps (-25%)
Battlefield 4
<3.5GB setting = 3840×2160 2xMSAA
>3.5GB setting = 3840×2160 135% res
19fps (-47%)
15fps (-50%)
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
<3.5GB setting = 3840×2160 FSMAA T2x, Supersampling off
>3.5GB setting = 3840×2160 FSMAA T2x, Supersampling on
48fps (-41%)
40fps (-44%)
On GTX 980, Shadows of Mordor drops about 24% on GTX 980 and 25% on GTX 970, a 1% difference. On Battlefield 4, the drop is 47% on GTX 980 and 50% on GTX 970, a 3% difference. On CoD: AW, the drop is 41% on GTX 980 and 44% on GTX 970, a 3% difference. As you can see, there is very little change in the performance of the GTX 970 relative to GTX 980 on these games when it is using the 0.5GB segment.
Interesting. We explored a similar datapath issue related to the GTX 970's disabled SMs in this blog post. In that case, we looked at why the GTX 970 can't make full use of its 64 ROP partitions at once when drawing pixels. Sounds to me like this issue is pretty closely related.
Beyond satisfying our curiosity, though, I'm not sure what else to make of this information. Like the ROP issue, this limitation is already baked into the GTX 970's measured performance. Perhaps folks will find some instances where the GTX 970's memory allocation limits affect performance more dramatically than in Nvidia's examples above. If so, maybe we should worry about this limitation. If not, well, then it's all kind of academic.
Update: Nvidia Senior VP of Hardware Engineering Jonah Alben shared more information with us on how the GTX 970's unusual memory config works and how it affects performance. The chip is working as intended, he said, but Nvidia "screwed up" communicating the GPU's specifications to reviewers.

LG G4 Brown Leather
Ok, just thought i should make a small post on the new Brown Lg G4 i just got after i did get bad feelings on the Black one.
And the Brown does feel like i thought the "Leather" should feel like on the G4, even smells kind of Leather(ish)..:)
So guess they did what Samsung did on the Note 4 on Black and white, white was like full plastic and Black did feel more soft. And if you ask me i did like the Black Note4 more than white , and i did have both.
And got a few mail from folks if i had the brown g4 in my hands and if that had the same feeling as the black, i did not when i write about the black…but now i have. 🙂
So gonna use the g4 for a while and see how it works as a daily driver, did not like it from start on the black one but maybe we just did not "Click" right from the start..who knows..
And will write a new post later on my thoughts about Ui, Battery, Camera and so on when i have use it for a while.
And right now i use my s6 as my daily phone so will compare it to the s6, and guess that is the 2 phones folks sit and look at this days.
One thing i will have fun with is try out the camera when i am out in the dirt/forest with my ATV, see if it can make better pictures or not than my s6. 🙂
