1. Centre seeks debate in SC on J&K special status
In news:
- The Centre has asked the Supreme Court to debate on the special status granted to the State of Jammu and Kashmir, saying it was both a sensitive and constitutional matter.
- Public Interest Litigation : a PIL plea filed by a Delhi-based NGO, We the Citizens, contending that the J&K government, given the State’s special autonomous status under Articles 35A and 370, was discriminatory against non-residents as far as government jobs and real estate purchases were concerned.
- J and K government response:
- The State government argued that its special status was sourced from the 1954 Presidential Order, which gave special rights to the State’s permanent residents.
- The hearing comes in the backdrop of an earlier Jammu and Kashmir High Court, which ruled that Article 370 assumed a place of permanence in the Constitution and the feature was beyond amendment, repeal or abrogation.
- The court said Article 35A gave “protection” to existing laws in force in the State.
2. Sports Ministry lays ground for making online betting legal
Context:
- The Sports Ministry has begun the groundwork to frame a legislation to legalise online sports betting in India
- The Sports Ministry is also likely to seek assistance from its counterparts in the UK, where gambling is legal
- Sports Secretary Injeti Srinivas, who is currently in England, is likely to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in which online sports betting will be one of the key points
Betting in India
- Betting is seen as a sensitive socio-political issue. More so in sports because of the match-fixing and spot-fixing controversies.
- The issue of legalising betting gathered momentum when former Chief Justice of India R M Lodha recommended that betting should be legalised in cricket
- Illegal betting market in India is worth $150 billion, or roughly Rs 9.6 lakh crore.
- Most of it is via local bookmakers and unregulated offshore websites.
- At present, betting is legal only on horse racing, and it is taxed at 28 per cent under GST.
Advantages of legalising betting in India?
- It can address the issue of poor funding for sports at central and state level by making online betting legal.
- The possibility of diverting a sizeable part of the revenue generated from betting towards the ministry’s programmes is also being deliberated.
- It can be beneficial to the economy as well as sports overall.
3. Centre’s proposal to states: Enact your own Aadhaar Acts too
Context:
- Central government has floated the idea of state governments enacting their own “State Aadhaar Act”, on the lines of the central Act passed by Parliament last year.
Background
- The central Act makes Aadhaar mandatory for any “subsidy, benefit or service” for which the expenditure is borne fully or shared partially by the Consolidated Fund of India.
- This means that every welfare subsidy or benefit, from fully-funded or centrally-sponsored schemes (where states share part of the fiscal burden), is conditional on verification through Aadhaar.
Why state Aadhaar Act?
- Several state governments have their own subsidies or benefit schemes, where the burden is defrayed out of their Consolidated Fund
- Consequently, the central Aadhaar Act cannot provide legal basis for making Aadhaar mandatory for such schemes.
- However, a State Aadhaar Act, as suggested by the Cabinet Secretariat, could provide legal basis for making it mandatory for state-funded welfare schemes
Other concerns
- But the Centre’s suggestion could prove tricky as the enactment of a state legislation is the prerogative of the state legislatures.
- Also, it impinges on the state government’s autonomy to set up a mechanism for expenditure from the state exchequer.
4. Home to dilute new property destruction Bill, exclude political leaders
Context:
- Union Home Ministry is reworking the proposed Prevention of Destruction of Public Property (PDPP) Amendment Bill to exclude provisions that hold leaders of political parties responsible for such damage,
- The move runs contrary to the ministry’s stand in 2015, when it had argued for severe measures to hold leaders of political parties accountable for damage to public property caused during bandhs, protests and demonstrations called by them. It had also pushed for the parties to pay the market value of property destroyed by their supporters.
- According to the National Crime Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu (1,671), Uttar Pradesh (1,131) and Haryana (529) recorded the highest number of cases under the PDPP Act in 2015.
Reasons behind making changes in the proposed bill?
- Law enforcement agencies expressed the fear that the amended law may be misused to frame Opposition leaders who call for bandhs, by inciting violence and damaging property.
- It can be used to send their political opponents behind bars.
- Plan to emphasise on improving the quality of evidence, which will require police officers to record on video all protests, hartal or bandhs,
- The soft copies of video evidence will be deposited by the officer in charge at the local police station with the sub-divisional magistrate or executive magistrate who will hand it over to the investigating officer.
- The Bill may also include a provision to make such offences non-bailable unless “there are reasonable grounds to believe that (the accused) is not guilty”.
- However, the provision to include “damage to private properties” is likely to be dropped in the reworked Bill, since they are covered under different insurance schemes.
Supreme Court’s findings
- In 2007, the Supreme Court had asked the government to bring amendments to the PDPP Act.
- While appointing a committee to examine the law, the apex court had observed in 2009: “In almost all such cases, top leaders of such organisations who really instigate such direct actions will keep themselves in the background, and only the ordinary or common members or grassroot-level followers directly participate, and they alone would be vulnerable to prosecution proceedings.”

1. China holds military drill near Arunachal border, ‘enemy’ aircraft the target
In news:
- China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has held “live-fire drills” in Tibet, close to the India’s border in Arunachal, to practice quick movement of troops and destroy enemy aircraft.
- The drill is being seen as a message to the Indian government and military, as China claims large parts of Arunachal, India’s easternmost state, as southern Tibet.
- The drill was held in the Tibet Autonomous Region in the middle and lower reaches of Yarlung Zangbo river, which is located in the upper stream of the Brahmaputra river which flows through China, India and Bangladesh.
- The Yarlung Zangbo enters India through Arunachal where it is called Siang before it becomes the Brahmaputra in Assam. China has been building dams over it, causing concern in India that it could affect the flow of the Brahmaputra.
In news:
- Britain claims a thousand Indians overstay their visa in Britain every year, and the two countries are working together to improve the process for returning those who remain in Britain illegally, and can be successfully identified as Indian.
- Home Affairs remains one of the most sensitive areas of bilateral relations, with Britain repeatedly raising the issue of overstaying Indians, and India pointing to the process and cost of obtaining visa for its citizens as issues that stood in the way of improving relations in a number of areas.
1. Industrial policy, clusters for manufacturing on anvil
Context: The process for formulation of a new industrial policy has been initiated and consultations are being held with stakeholders.
In news:
- Manufacturing clusters: The government is preparing a national plan for manufacturing clusters with an aim to bring about convergence in development of industrial areas by central and state governments.
2. When too much is too little
In News:
Food wastage in India
- Food wastage means, Food is lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from initial agricultural production to final household consumption. The losses, represent “a waste of resources used in production such as land, water, energy and inputs, increasing the green gas emissions in vain”.
- According FAO, “One third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally, which amounts to about 1.3 billion tons per year.
- India ranked 97th among 118 countries in the Global Hunger Index for 2016
- According to one estimate, 21 million tonnes of wheat are wasted in India every year
Reasons behind food-wastage?
- It can be linked to people’s behaviour.
- Absence of an effective distribution mechanism and legal framework.
- Due to food’s perishability.
- Poor supply-chain management, results in significant wastage, both at pre- and post-harvest stages
- A recent study by the IIM, Calcutta, revealed that only 10% of food is covered by cold storage facilities in India
Food wastage has multiple socio-economic and environmental impacts.
Social
- Wastage of food is not less than a social delinquency.
- Though hunger cannot be tackled directly by preventing food wastage, food that is wasted in our country can feed many hungry people.
Environmental
- The increasing wastage results in land degradation by about 45%, mainly due to deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, and excessive groundwater extraction.
- The energy spent over wasted food results in 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide production every year.
- Decay also leads to harmful emission of other gases in the atmosphere; for instance, decaying of rice produces methane.
- Food waste emissions have a major impact on climate change and result in greater carbon footprint
Economic
- Wastage results in national economic loss.
- Monetary value of the loss in terms of wastage, accounts to ₹58,000 crore every year–The CSR Journal.
Initiatives in India?
- There are many civil society, private sector and community initiatives aimed at distributing food among the poor.
- National Food Security Act, 2013 securing availability of food grains for two-thirds of the 1.3 billion population.
- India Food Banking Network (IFBN),promoting the concept of collaborative consumption with support from the private sector and civil society organisations.
- Such initiatives, creating networks and channels of distribution between those who have surplus food and those who are in need of them, are necessary.
Global best practices:
- 1996 Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act in the U.S, encourage donation of food and grocery products that meet quality and labelling standards
- France, first country in the world to ban supermarkets from destroying unsold food, forcing them instead to donate it to charities or food banks or send it to the farmers to be used as fertilisers in crop production.
Way forward?
- Devise a national-level strategy to combat the problem so that surplus of food can be turned into an advantage instead of resulting in wastage.
- The government can create a time-bound task force under Niti Aayog, with experts from different sectors, to frame a national policy to address the issue, which can recommend the legal framework to support initiatives to reduce food loss and waste.
- Hunger and food wastage are two sides of the coin. The cycle of hunger cannot be broken without channelising the wasted food to help the needy.

Multiple display devices (digital flat panels, CRTs, and TVs) can display the contents of a single X screen in any arbitrary configuration. Configuring multiple display devices on a single X screen has several distinct advantages over other techniques (such as Xinerama):
A single X screen is used. The NVIDIA driver conceals all information about multiple display devices from the X server; as far as X is concerned, there is only one screen.
Both display devices share one frame buffer. Thus, all the functionality present on a single display (e.g., accelerated OpenGL) is available with multiple display devices.
No additional overhead is needed to emulate having a single desktop.
If you are interested in using each display device as a separate X screen, see Chapter 14, Configuring Multiple X Screens on One Card.
When the NVIDIA X driver starts, by default it will enable as many display devices as are connected and as the GPU supports driving simultaneously. Most NVIDIA GPUs based on the Kepler architecture, or newer, support driving up to four display devices simultaneously. Most NVIDIA GPUs older than Kepler support driving up to two display devices simultaneously.
If multiple X screens are configured on the GPU, the NVIDIA X driver will attempt to reserve display devices and GPU resources for those other X screens (honoring the "UseDisplayDevice" and "MetaModes" X configuration options of each X screen) and then allocate all remaining resources to the first X screen configured on the GPU.
There are several X configuration options that influence how multiple display devices are used by an X screen:
Option "MetaModes" "<list of MetaModes>" Option "HorizSync" "<hsync range(s)>" Option "VertRefresh" "<vrefresh range(s)>" Option "MetaModeOrientation" "<relationship of head 1 to head 0>" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "<list of connected display devices>"
See detailed descriptions of each option below.
With these options, you can specify a semicolon-separated list of frequency ranges, each optionally prepended with a display device name. In addition, if SLI Mosaic mode is enabled, a GPU specifier can be used. For example:
Option "HorizSync" "CRT-0: 50-110; DFP-0: 40-70" Option "VertRefresh" "CRT-0: 60-120; GPU-0.DFP-0: 60"
See Appendix C, Display Device Names on Display Device Names for more information.
These options are normally not needed: by default, the NVIDIA X driver retrieves the valid frequency ranges from the display device's EDID (see the UseEdidFreqs option). The "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" options override any frequency ranges retrieved from the EDID.
MetaModes are "containers" that store information about what mode should be used on each display device.
Multiple MetaModes list the combinations of modes and the sequence in which they should be used. In MetaMode syntax, modes within a MetaMode are comma separated, and multiple MetaModes are separated by semicolons. For example:
"<mode name 0>, <mode name 1>; <mode name 2>, <mode name 3>"
Where <mode name 0> is the name of the mode to be used on display device 0 concurrently with <mode name 1> used on display device 1. A mode switch will then cause <mode name 2> to be used on display device 0 and <mode name 3> to be used on display device 1. Here is an example MetaMode:
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768"
If you want a display device to not be active for a certain MetaMode, you can use the mode name "NULL", or simply omit the mode name entirely:
"1600x1200, NULL; NULL, 1024x768"
or
"1600x1200; , 1024x768"
Optionally, mode names can be followed by offset information to control the positioning of the display devices within the virtual screen space; e.g.,
"1600x1200 +0+0, 1024x768 +1600+0; ..."
Offset descriptions follow the conventions used in the X "-geometry" command line option; i.e., both positive and negative offsets are valid, though negative offsets are only allowed when a virtual screen size is explicitly given in the X config file.
When no offsets are given for a MetaMode, the offsets will be computed following the value of the MetaModeOrientation option (see below). Note that if offsets are given for any one of the modes in a single MetaMode, then offsets will be expected for all modes within that single MetaMode; in such a case offsets will be assumed to be +0+0 when not given.
When not explicitly given, the virtual screen size will be computed as the bounding box of all MetaMode bounding boxes. MetaModes with a bounding box larger than an explicitly given virtual screen size will be discarded.
A MetaMode string can be further modified with a "Panning Domain" specification; e.g.,
"1024x768 @1600x1200, 800x600 @1600x1200"
A panning domain is the area in which a display device's viewport will be panned to follow the mouse. Panning actually happens on two levels with MetaModes: first, an individual display device's viewport will be panned within its panning domain, as long as the viewport is contained by the bounding box of the MetaMode. Once the mouse leaves the bounding box of the MetaMode, the entire MetaMode (i.e., all display devices) will be panned to follow the mouse within the virtual screen, unless the "PanAllDisplays" X configuration option is disabled. Note that individual display devices' panning domains default to being clamped to the position of the display devices' viewports, thus the default behavior is just that viewports remain "locked" together and only perform the second type of panning.
The most beneficial use of panning domains is probably to eliminate dead areas -- regions of the virtual screen that are inaccessible due to display devices with different resolutions. For example:
"1600x1200, 1024x768"
produces an inaccessible region below the 1024x768 display. Specifying a panning domain for the second display device:
"1600x1200, 1024x768 @1024x1200"
provides access to that dead area by allowing you to pan the 1024x768 viewport up and down in the 1024x1200 panning domain.
Offsets can be used in conjunction with panning domains to position the panning domains in the virtual screen space (note that the offset describes the panning domain, and only affects the viewport in that the viewport must be contained within the panning domain). For example, the following describes two modes, each with a panning domain width of 1900 pixels, and the second display is positioned below the first:
"1600x1200 @1900x1200 +0+0, 1024x768 @1900x768 +0+1200"
Because it is often unclear which mode within a MetaMode will be used on each display device, mode descriptions within a MetaMode can be prepended with a display device name. For example:
"CRT-0: 1600x1200, DFP-0: 1024x768"
If no MetaMode string is specified, then the X driver uses the modes listed in the relevant "Display" subsection, attempting to place matching modes on each display device.
Each mode of the MetaMode may also have extra attributes associated with it, specified as a comma-separated list of token=value pairs inside curly brackets. The value for each token can optionally be enclosed in parentheses, to prevent commas within the value from being interpreted as token=value pair separators. Currently, the only token that requires a parentheses-enclosed value is "Transform".
The possible tokens within the curly bracket list are:
"Stereo": possible values are "PassiveLeft" or "PassiveRight". When used in conjunction with stereo mode "4", this allows each display to be configured independently to show any stereo eye. For example:
"CRT-0: 1600x1200 +0+0 { Stereo = PassiveLeft }, CRT-1: 1600x1200 +1600+0 { Stereo=PassiveRight }"
If the X screen is not configured for stereo mode "4", these options are ignored. See the Stereo X configuration option for more details about stereo configurations.
"Rotation": this rotates the content of an individual display device. Possible values are "0" (with synonyms "no", "off" and "normal"), "90" (with synonyms "left" and "CCW"), "180" (with synonyms "invert" and "inverted") and "270" (with synonyms "right" and "CW"). For example:
"DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select { Rotation=left }, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select { Rotation=right }"
Independent rotation configurability of each display device is also possible through RandR. See Chapter 15, Support for the X Resize and Rotate Extension for details.
"Reflection": this reflects the content of an individual display device about either the X axis, the Y axis, or both the X and Y axes. Possible values are "X", "Y" and "XY". For example:
"DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select { Reflection=X }, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select"
Independent reflection configurability of each display device is also possible through RandR. See Chapter 15, Support for the X Resize and Rotate Extension for details.
"Transform": this is a 3x3 matrix of floating point values that defines a transformation from the ViewPortOut for a display device to a region within the X screen. This is equivalent to the transformation matrix specified through the RandR 1.3 RRSetCrtcTransform request. As in RandR, the transform is applied before any specified rotation and reflection values to compute the complete transform.
The 3x3 matrix is represented in the MetaMode syntax as a comma-separated list of nine floating point values, stored in row-major order. This is the same as the value passed to the xrandr(1) '--transform' command line option.
Note that the transform value must be enclosed in parentheses, so that the commas separating the nine floating point values are interpreted correctly.
For example:
"DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select { Transform=(43.864288330078125, 21.333328247070312, -16384, 0, 43.864288330078125, 0, 0, 0.0321197509765625, 19.190628051757812) }"
"PixelShiftMode": This allows a display to be configured in pixel shift mode, in which a display overlays multiple downscaled images to simulate a higher effective resolution. This is used in certain JVC e-shift projectors. All pixel shift modes require a Quadro Kepler or later GPU. Possible values are "4kTopLeft", "4kBottomRight", and "8k".
In 4K pixel shift mode, two cloned displays are configured in pixel shift mode, and either display is configured to display either the top left or bottom right pixels of every pixel quad. Note that the mode timings used by each display are one quarter of the resolution read from the X screen and one quarter of the effective resolution displayed (e.g., "1920x1080" rather than "3840x2160").
For example, here is the configuration of a 4K pixel shift mode, with an effective desktop resolution of 3840x2160:
"DFP-0: 1920x1080 +0+0 { PixelShiftMode = 4kTopLeft, ViewPortIn = 3840x2160 }, DFP-1: 1920x1080 +0+0 { PixelShiftMode = 4kBottomRight, ViewPortIn = 3840x2160 }"
In 8K pixel shift mode, the image is downscaled from the ViewPortIn resolution to the mode timing resolution, to produce two different images: one for the top left pixel of every pixel quad and one for the bottom right of every pixel quad. The display alternates between the two images each vblank. This requires a Quadro graphics card with a 3-pin DIN stereo connector.
For example, here is the configuration for an 8K pixel shift mode, with an effective desktop resolution and refresh rate of 8192x4800 @30Hz, split across 4 1024x2400@60Hz displays. Note that the panning offsets of each display are in X screen (ViewPortIn) coordinates:
"DFP-0: 1024x2400 +0+0 { PixelShiftMode=8k, ViewPortIn = 2048x4800 }, DFP-1: 1024x2400 +2048+0 { PixelShiftMode=8k, ViewPortIn = 2048x4800 }, DFP-2: 1024x2400 +4096+0 { PixelShiftMode=8k, ViewPortIn = 2048x4800 }, DFP-4: 1024x2400 +6144+0 { PixelShiftMode=8k, ViewPortIn = 2048x4800 }"
In both examples above, the ViewPortIn is provided here for illustrative purposes only. When PixelShiftMode is used, the ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut are always inferred from the mode timings: the ViewPortOut will match the mode timing resolution, which is half the intended resolution. The ViewPortIn will be twice the ViewPortOut, in order to achieve the pixel shift effect.
"ViewPortOut": this specifies the region within the mode sent to the display device that will display pixels from the X screen. The region of the mode outside the ViewPortOut will contain black. The format is "WIDTH x HEIGHT +X +Y".
This is useful, for example, for configuring overscan compensation. E.g., if the mode sent to the display device is 1920x1080, to configure a 10 pixel border on all four sides:
"DFP-0: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1900x1060+10+10 }"
Or, to only display an image in the lower right quarter of the 1920x1080 mode:
"DFP-0: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=960x540+960+540 }"
When not specified, the ViewPortOut defaults to the size of the mode.
"ViewPortIn": this defines the size of the region of the X screen which will be displayed within the ViewPortOut. The format is "WIDTH x HEIGHT".
ViewPortIn is useful for configuring scaling between the X screen and the display device. For example, to display an 800x600 region from the X screen on a 1920x1200 mode:
"DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=800x600 }"
Or, to display a 2560x1600 region from the X screen on a 1920x1200 mode:
"DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=2560x1600 }"
Or, in conjunction with ViewPortOut, to scale an 800x600 region of the X screen within a 1920x1200 mode while preserving the aspect ratio:
"DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=800x600, ViewPortOut=1600x1200+160+0 }"
Scaling from ViewPortIn to ViewPortOut is also expressible through the "Transform" attribute. In fact, ViewPortIn is just a shortcut for populating the transformation matrix. If both ViewPortIn and Transform are specified in the MetaMode for a display device, ViewPortIn is ignored.
ViewPortIn is also ignored if PixelShiftMode is enabled, as PixelShiftMode implies a transformation of double width and height.
"PanningTrackingArea": this defines the region of the MetaMode inside which cursor movement will influence panning of the display device. The format is "WIDTH x HEIGHT + X + Y", to describe the size and offset of the region within the X screen. E.g.,
"DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0 { PanningTrackingArea = 1920x1200 +0+0 }"
If not specified in the MetaMode, this will default to the entire X screen. If the PanAllDisplays X configuration option is explicitly set to False, then PanningTrackingArea will default to the panning domain of the display device.
This is equivalent to the panning tracking_area region in the RRSetPanning RandR 1.3 protocol request.
"PanningBorder": this defines the distances from the edges of the ViewPortIn that will activate panning if the pointer hits them. If the borders are 0, the display device will pan when the pointer hits the edge of the ViewPortIn (the default). If the borders are positive, the display device will pan when the pointer gets close to the edge of the ViewPortIn. If the borders are negative, the display device will pan when the pointer is beyond the edge of the ViewPortIn.
The format is "LeftBorder/TopBorder/RightBorder/BottomBorder". E.g.,
"DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0 { PanningBorder = 10/10/10/10 }"
This is equivalent to the panning border in the RRSetPanning RandR 1.3 protocol request.
"ForceCompositionPipeline": possible values are "On" or "Off". The NVIDIA X driver can use a composition pipeline to apply X screen transformations and rotations. "ForceCompositionPipeline" can be used to force the use of this pipeline, even when no transformations or rotations are applied to the screen.
"ForceFullCompositionPipeline": possible values are "On" or "Off". This option implicitly enables "ForceCompositionPipeline" and additionally makes use of the composition pipeline to apply ViewPortOut scaling.
"WarpMesh", "BlendTexture", "OffsetTexture": these string
attributes control the operation of Warp and Blend, an advanced
transformation feature available on select NVIDIA Quadro GPUs. Warp
and Blend can adjust a display's geometry (warp) with a greater
level of control than a simple matrix transformation: for example,
to facilitate projecting an image onto a non-planar surface, and
its intensity (blend) per pixel: for example, to seamlessly combine
images from multiple overlapping projectors into a single large
image. Each of the "WarpMesh", "BlendTexture", and "OffsetTexture"
MetaMode tokens can be set to the name of a pixmap which has
already been bound to a name via the XNVCtrlBindWarpPixmapName()
NV_CONTROL call. See the nv-control-warpblend
sample application
distributed with the nvidia-settings source code for a more
detailed description of the functionality of each of these pixmaps,
how to lay data out into the pixmaps, and an example implementation
of an X application that loads and binds pixmaps so that they are
ready to use in a MetaMode.
If driving the current mode in the RGB 4:4:4 color space would require a pixel clock that exceeds the display's or GPU's capabilities, and the display and GPU are capable of driving that mode in the YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, then the color space will be overridden to YCbCr 4:2:0. In this case, if a Turing or earlier GPU is in use, or if a DisplayPort display device is in use regardless of GPU, then Warp and Blend will be disabled.
Warp and Blend is not yet supported with the GLX_NV_swap_group OpenGL extension.
"BlendOrder": Controls the order of warping and blending when using Warp and Blend. By default, warping is performed first, followed by blending; setting the "BlendOrder" MetaMode token to "BlendAfterWarp" will reverse the default order.
"ResamplingMethod": Controls the filtering method used to smooth the display image when scaling screen transformations (such as a WarpMesh or scaling ViewPortOut) are in use. Possible values are "Bilinear" (default), "BicubicTriangular", "BicubicBellShaped", "BicubicBspline", "BicubicAdaptiveTriangular", "BicubicAdaptiveBellShaped", "BicubicAdaptiveBspline", and "Nearest".
Bicubic resampling is only available on NVIDIA Quadro GPUs. If a mode requiring a YCbCr 4:2:0 color space is in use on a DisplayPort display device or a Turing or earlier GPU, then bicubic resampling is unavailable. Bicubic resampling is not supported with the GLX_NV_swap_group OpenGL extension.
"AllowGSYNC" or "AllowGSYNCCompatible": Controls whether capable monitors are put into G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible mode or left in continuous refresh mode.
By default, G-SYNC monitors are put into G-SYNC mode when a mode is set, and transition into and out of variable refresh mode seamlessly. However, this prevents certain other features, such as Ultra Low Motion Blur and Frame Lock, from working. Set this to "Off" to use continuous refresh rates that are compatible with these features.
In addition, G-SYNC Compatible monitors are supported via DisplayPort on Pascal and newer GPUs, and via HDMI on Turing and newer GPUs. Supported monitors will enable variable refresh mode by default. This behavior may be overridden by setting the AllowGSYNCCompatible=Off MetaMode attribute. Pascal GPUs only support G-SYNC Compatible monitors in systems containing no more than one monitor in variable refresh mode. Monitors that have not been validated as G-SYNC Compatible have G-SYNC Compatible mode disabled by default, and can be forced into G-SYNC Compatible mode by setting the AllowGSYNCCompatible=On MetaMode attribute. A list of supported G-SYNC and G-SYNC Compatible monitors can be found at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/
Note: Vulkan direct-to-display applications may allow or disallow G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible at modeset time using the VKDirectGSYNCAllowed and VKDirectGSYNCCompatibleAllowed environment variables. VKDirectGSYNCAllowed is set to true by default (allowing VRR on all G-SYNC monitors) and VKDirectGSYNCCompatibleAllowed may be set to 0 (disallowing VRR on all G-SYNC Compatible monitors), 1 (default, allowing VRR only on monitors validated as G-SYNC Compatible), or 2 (allowing VRR regardless of whether a monitor has been validated as G-SYNC Compatible).
"VRRMinRefreshRate": Overrides a G-SYNC Compatible monitor's minimum refresh rate. Some monitors that have not been validated as G-SYNC Compatible may flicker when applications are swapping close to the monitor's minimum refresh rate, and this MetaMode flag may be used to compensate for this. This MetaMode flag has no effect on G-SYNC monitors.
Note that the current MetaMode can also be configured through the NV-CONTROL X extension and the nvidia-settings utility. For example:
nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=800x600, ViewPortOut=1600x1200+160+0 }"
This option controls the positioning of the display devices within the virtual X screen, when offsets are not explicitly given in the MetaModes. The possible values are:
"RightOf" (the default) "LeftOf" "Above" "Below" "SamePositionAs"
When "SamePositionAs" is specified, all display devices will be assigned an offset of 0,0. For backwards compatibility, "Clone" is a synonym for "SamePositionAs".
Because it is often unclear which display device relates to which, MetaModeOrientation can be confusing. You can further clarify the MetaModeOrientation with display device names to indicate which display device is positioned relative to which display device. For example:
"CRT-0 LeftOf DFP-0"
With this option you can override what the NVIDIA kernel module detects is connected to your graphics card. This may be useful, for example, if any of your display devices do not support detection using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols. Valid values are a comma-separated list of display device names; for example:
"CRT-0, CRT-1" "CRT" "CRT-1, DFP-0"
WARNING: this option overrides what display devices are detected by the NVIDIA kernel module, and is very seldom needed. You really only need this if a display device is not detected, either because it does not provide DDC information, or because it is on the other side of a KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switch. In most other cases, it is best not to specify this option.
Just as in all X config entries, spaces are ignored and all entries are case insensitive.
12.1. Frequently Asked TwinView Questions |
|
|
Nothing gets displayed on my second monitor; what is wrong? |
|
|
Monitors that do not support monitor detection using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols (this includes most older monitors) are not detectable by your NVIDIA card. You need to explicitly tell the NVIDIA X driver what you have connected using the "ConnectedMonitor" option; e.g., Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, CRT" |
|
|
Will window managers be able to appropriately place windows (e.g., avoiding placing windows across both display devices, or in inaccessible regions of the virtual desktop)? |
|
|
Yes. Window managers can query the layout of display devices through either RandR 1.2 or Xinerama. The NVIDIA X driver provides a Xinerama extension that X clients (such as window managers) can use to discover the current layout of display devices. Note that the Xinerama protocol provides no way to notify clients when a configuration change occurs, so if you modeswitch to a different MetaMode, your window manager may still think you have the previous configuration. Using RandR 1.2, or the Xinerama extension in conjunction with the XF86VidMode extension to get modeswitch events, window managers should be able to determine the display device configuration at any given time. Unfortunately, the data provided by XineramaQueryScreens() appears to confuse some window managers; to work around such broken window managers, you can disable communication of the display device layout with the nvidiaXineramaInfo X configuration option. The order that display devices are reported in via the NVIDIA Xinerama information can be configured with the nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder X configuration option. Be aware that the NVIDIA driver cannot provide the Xinerama extension if the X server's own Xinerama extension is being used. Explicitly specifying Xinerama in the X config file or on the X server commandline will prohibit NVIDIA's Xinerama extension from installing, so make sure that the X server's log file does not contain: (++) Xinerama: enabled if you want the NVIDIA driver to be able to provide the Xinerama extension while in TwinView. Another solution is to use panning domains to eliminate inaccessible regions of the virtual screen (see the MetaMode description above). A third solution is to use two separate X screens, rather than use TwinView. See Chapter 14, Configuring Multiple X Screens on One Card. |
|
|
How are virtual screen dimensions determined in TwinView? |
|
|
After all requested modes have been validated, and the offsets for each MetaMode's viewports have been computed, the NVIDIA driver computes the bounding box of the panning domains for each MetaMode. The maximum bounding box width and height is then found. Note that one side effect of this is that the virtual width and virtual height may come from different MetaModes. Given the following MetaMode string: "1600x1200,NULL; 1024x768+0+0, 1024x768+0+768" the resulting virtual screen size will be 1600 x 1536. |
|
|
Can I play full screen games across both display devices? |
|
|
Yes. While the details of configuration will vary from game to game, the basic idea is that a MetaMode presents X with a mode whose resolution is the bounding box of the viewports for that MetaMode. For example, the following: Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768; 800x600,800x600" Option "MetaModeOrientation" "RightOf" produce two modes: one whose resolution is 2048x768, and another whose resolution is 1600x600. Games such as Quake 3 Arena use the VidMode extension to discover the resolutions of the modes currently available. To configure Quake 3 Arena to use the above MetaMode string, add the following to your q3config.cfg file: seta r_customaspect "1" seta r_customheight "600" seta r_customwidth "1600" seta r_fullscreen "1" seta r_mode "-1" Note that, given the above configuration, there is no mode with a resolution of 800x600 (remember that the MetaMode "800x600, 800x600" has a resolution of 1600x600"), so if you change Quake 3 Arena to use a resolution of 800x600, it will display in the lower left corner of your screen, with the rest of the screen grayed out. To have single head modes available as well, an appropriate MetaMode string might be something like: "800x600,800x600; 1024x768,NULL; 800x600,NULL; 640x480,NULL" More precise configuration information for specific games is beyond the scope of this document, but the above examples coupled with numerous online sources should be enough to point you in the right direction. |

Contains classes and interfaces implementing fundamental computational geometry algorithms.
There are many approaches to dealing with the problem of robustness in geometrical computation. Not surprisingly, most robust algorithms are substantially more complex and less performant than the non-robust versions. Fortunately, JTS is sensitive to robustness problems in only a few key functions (such as line intersection and the point-in-polygon test). There are efficient robust algorithms available for these functions, and these algorithms are implemented in JTS.
The obvious naive algorithm for intersection detection (comparing every segment with every other) has unacceptably slow performance. There is a large literature of faster algorithms for intersection detection. Unfortunately, many of them involve substantial code complexity. JTS tries to balance code simplicity with performance gains. It uses some simple techniques to produce substantial performance gains for common types of input data.

Overal, the MET office weather reports have been mostly correct. Throughout the week, the temperature recorded has been 2-4 °C colder than forecasted, likely
because of a microclimate (this could be partly as my garden slopes away from the sun), with the main exception of the 18th. This was when I had forgotten to
take measurements until I was just going to bed. The likely reason for the temperature being above that forecasted by 5 degrees, therefore, is that the
thermometre did not have time to adapt to the temperature outside. Another noticeable difference is that the chance of precipitation, as a percentage, did
not actually forecast how much precipitation there was. As an example, on the 14th there was a 90% chance of precipitation, but there was not actually any
precipitation. Similarly, on the 18th there was just a 5% chance of precipitation, yet there was 5mm of rain. This could be because the rain gauge measured
the rain of the past 24 hours, so perhaps a more detailed experiment would be needed, averaging the chances of precipitation from 24 hours ago. There was also
not always clouds which generally cause precipitation when there was a high level of precipitation, so it would be good to measure the clouds of the whole day.
The cloud and the wind's directions were not always matching. Sometimes there was no wind at ground level, but a lot of wind at cloud level, and sometimes
there were 8 oktas of stratus or nimbostratus clouds and it is not possible to see the direction of travel. On the days where both the directions of the wind
and clouds were both possible to see, there was the same wind direction (though other recordings I have taken previously say otherwise, probably due to wind
swirling around houses). When there was no wind at ground level, it was probably because of houses and fences acting as windbreaks. The cloud cover was
extremely variable, changing frm 1 okta to 8 in a single day between my measurements on the 18th and 19th. This may have been caused by the stonger winds on
that day, however in the time between my measurements on the 17th to 18th, there were lighter winds, yet it still changed from 8 oktas to 1.

It is a good way of approaching conversation, but we both found it a bit much to formally enforce it. Giving someone your full attention when they are speaking seems less a matter of 'mindfulness' and more a matter of politeness.
Number 2, where you do less than you can and meditate for less time than it takes for me to get bored. For me this means I will meditate for <5 mins at a time, at least once a day.
I found the concept of walking as a form of meditation interesting. Particularly when paired with the 'Joyful Meditation'idea. I will be sure to practise this as often as possible, particularly with the weather getting warmer and the beach a short walk down the road.

Conor O'Shea resigns as Italy head coach and is linked with RFU role
The Italian Rugby Federation have accepted the resignation of head coach Conor O'Shea.
O'Shea had a contract until May next year but has left the role he took up in 2016.
It is being reported that the Irishman is expected to take up a role with the English RFU.
Sources in Italy believe this is the reason for his departure.
Italy say they are looking for a new coach to lead them through next year's Six Nations.
O'Conor's last match in charge was the World Cup Pool B match against South Africa which Italy lost 49-3.
They had to beat New Zealand in their final Pool game to reach the quarter-finals, but the game was cancelled because of Typhoon Hagibis.


MORTAL KOMBAT A film review by Ed Powell Copyright 1995 Ed Powell
I'll be honest ... I was truly surprised with this movie. I thought that it was going to be a film filled with fighting and special effects ... and no plot. There was plenty of fighting and special effects, but there *was* a story behind all of it. MORTAL KOMBAT is one of the better action films I have seen this summer.
The story is basically a "good versus evil" structure, where the best fighters of Earth compete in a tournament that takes place once a generation. If the forces of evil win this tournament ten times in a row, they will take over the Earth. And they're one win away from winning.
The movie was written well, considering that all the writers had to go on was a video game (or three). There were some bits that could have used some refining, and the character of Sonja was poorly developed. However, drama and comedy (yes, there were great comedic moments in the movie), while seeming prefabricated, were well worked into the story.
I suppose the martial artistry counts towards acting, so I'll say that the acting in the film was above average. All the moves looked realistic and quite painful on screen. But if you take out the martial arts, most of the actors could take a refresher course in acting. Christopher Lambert, however, did play the part of Rayden (Lord of Lightning, the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" of this film) quite well.
The sets and props of the film were excellent. As of this moment, I am not sure if the Temple of Light (in China, according to the movie) was real or computer-generated. If it was real, it is a magnificent work of architecture and design. If it was computer-generated, it was well rendered and integrated with real scenery.
Speaking of computer-generation, the visual effects were above
average.  Still, the effects are close to the
sophistication of BATMAN FOREVER (take that for what it's worth.
Dave Anderson knows how to direct an action film, and MORTAL KOMBAT proves it. Pans, zooms, and other fancy camera moves were used to good effect, and simple shots were used when it was all that was needed.
Is MORTAL KOMBAT something that you can take your Nintendo/Sega "Mortal Kombat"-playing seven year old to? My opinion: no. While the gratuitous blood-and-gore was kept down to a minimum, there are several disturbing shots and ideas that go with the film. The PG-13 rating should be taken seriously.
I really can't do a review of the music ... there wasn't very
much. What music there was, was your generic dance track with the
words "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!" screamed in every once in a while. And to
think that some people actually like that kind of music....
Overall, this is a great fight film. If you are willing to see around the few noticeable flaws, that is. If you have a desire to see people get hit, smacked, punched in the groin, and otherwise hurt, this is the film for you.
Produced by Lawrence Kasanoff, directed by Paul Anderson. A New Line Cinema release.

App used to showcase personnel Web development projects
The goal was to create a flexible website to showcase my current and future Web development projects.
5 months
As my skills improve I needed the ability to easily add and list skills as they moved from beginning to End. To do this I created this site to show case the end result. My biggest problem was dealing with my prefectionist nature, I had to learn to relax and let the development flow out. Initially I was using the landing page background for all of the subsequent pages. During a review, I realized that while I like the landing page background, words on the subsequent pages were unreadable.

I live in AJ's podcast for your Monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the Joneses.
Hello Mr. Jones.
Mrs. Jones.
How are you?
You know how I am.
How are you?
I'm 100 episodes old, baby.
Yeah, baby.
Yes, you are.
How ridiculous is that?
It's kind of shocking.
Why is it shocking?
Well, I think I've said this before,
but I wasn't really sure what we were going to say for 10 episodes.
And now we're at 100.
It is funny that whole thing, isn't it?
Yeah.
Everybody's been saying to me, what are you going to do for your 100th episode?
And the truth is, we're not going to do much.
No, it's going to be kind of a normal episode.
Maybe we could give away something.
Yeah, not because we're not excited.
Yeah.
But because I got sick.
Yes.

You got sick again.
I know.
I was so bummed by that.
I was so I felt assured that since I'd already been sick, I would not catch whatever you had.
Yeah, but I had something completely different from you.
Yes.
And so my body decided to collect it as well.
So as you know, our whole family was sick.
Everybody was sick except for me, Mr.
Brilliant Immune System, which I was actually really surprised that you had
made it without getting sick.
Right.
And then come Tuesday of this week, while everybody else has finished their antibiotics,
everybody else is fine.
I come down with what I think is strep throat.
I mean, it's not a bad guess.
Everybody else is being antibiotics for strep and other things.
So I go to the doctor Wednesday morning and say, oh, my family's been sick.

And they said, no, you don't have strep.
You just have a dreaded lergie, a viral throat infection.
So I said, what can I take for that?
They were like nothing.
I was like, awesome.
So I tried to fight it and then it knocked me out for two days.
Yeah.
And then it took me out as well.
You bounced back a little faster than me.
I did.
Well, I didn't have a choice.
I had three children.
Right.
I didn't have a choice either.
But I mean, I sound, do I sound congested to you?
I feel a little congested.
OK, I think it's doing wonders for my radio voice.
Yes, it's very manly.
But also I went away on the weekend.
I was teaching in Georgia.
I went and did a prophetic conference, which was tremendous fun
at Covenant Life Warship Center in Chicago.
Chicago.
Yep, never been there before.
And you're sure that's how we pronounce it?
I checked.
OK, because I've been mispronouncing it all weekend.
Have you been adding an N?
I have yeah, I took a manga.
They got no N, no Nonga.
Okay.
So Pastor Jamie and darling Chan, they're lovely church, lovely staff, lovely people had a great time.
Stayed overnight, spoke Sunday morning and just drove back to Tennessee a few hours ago.
And they sent you home with Tim Hortons.
They did.
They're Canadians.
Yes, I know.
So I very much appreciated that.
My Canadian had a little happy dance.
are welcome gift or my welcome gift were these matching aprons.
Yes, me and MJ have got matching Star Wars aprons.
I'm Han Solo and he's BB eight.
He's so excited about that.
He didn't take it off.
He just wore it with a diaper for the rest of the day.
And then you and the girls got some matching embroidered ones.
Yes.
So all that to say, we got super sick.
The whole idea of doing, yeah, here's something fun.
We're going to do for a hundred is going to have to be push pause on until
Our pace slows down which you should do after next week. Can I tell you something funny about the aprons?
Please do so, you know how I'm I'm not great at telling you like gifts
That I would like like thinking up things. I have to really think right so we were we were in the
We're at the Franklin Festival this weekend. I took the kids to the Franklin Festival with Cindy right and
It was really super hot super crowded and the kids didn't want to stay so we did our typical Jones things
where we drive in, park, and leave within an hour.
Perfect.
But I saw this apron stand and I looked at the apron and I was like, "Gosh, you know
what?
I really love like a girly apron."
And I saw these really pretty apron.
And I remember thinking if Alan was here, I would ask him if I can buy this really pretty
apron.
But he wasn't.
And so I moved on.
And then also on the weekend I was in Target and I saw these, you know, adult coloring
books.
So I really like doing anything artistic and that's sort of like a wind down kind of thing,
like coloring things in.
But usually the pictures aren't, sometimes they're not great.
And so I sort of looked at them and thought, "Ah, one day I'll look into getting one and
see if I can find one with, you know, images that are okay or whatever. Anyway, so you come back
from Chickamauga and ta-da! Not only an embroidered girly apron, but an adult coloring book and
like 74 pencil crayons. So I'm super stoked and it just felt like the Lord had paid attention to
to the musings of my heart.
And even though they weren't like,
"Oh, I'm just dying to have that,"
but like, "Oh, I'd love to have that at some point."
Those were the two things this weekend
that I had sort of paused momentarily in my heart about
and you came home with both of them.
- He's good like that.
- He is good like that.
- It's also funny that they had me
into teaching a prophetic weekend
when clearly they're very prophetic
to know that that's the gifts of my wife's heart.
- Right.
- Tell me where you're dressed,
because we have just come home from the staff honor dinner that the students put on for the staff of the school.
No, talk to me about that.
I guess they did it for the first time last year.
And it's just all the students get together and they plan this entire event that is just to honor all of the staff of the school for,
I guess for working for a year, I mean, you know, for pouring into them. It's awesome.
It is shocking the level of effort and excellence that they go to.

-Yes, and you walk in and they've transformed an otherwise all-purpose utility room into
this beautiful, even dining room.

-Yes, and there's burlap and play settings and art hang on the wall and a menu and...
-Individual teacups picked for each person.
-Somebody's gone ahead and not just bought food but made it from scratch.
- Yeah. - You have your own server
the whole evening and it's just one lavish affair
where you're like, "Guys, come on."
- It's amazing.
- And then the night giving you prophetic words
and little gifts and you're like,
"Come on in here." - Oh, and you're in all that kind of,
yeah, amazing little paintings.
And everything was done in trios for the food.
So we had like a trio appetizer and then trio tacos,
but like think upgraded, gorgeous, gourmet tacos.
Gordon Ramsey would say very elevated tacos, elevated tacos, and then a trio of desserts
and sweet bets even made us paleo versions of desserts.
Right.
They'd taken into consideration everybody's various food allergies and stuff.
So it was, it was so lovely.
It was really lovely.
All right.
Our main topic for this evening.
Yes.
I was thinking about this.
I was thinking, you know, what are we going to talk about for a hundredth episode?
I actually wanted to talk about the joy of starting small.
Okay. There's a verse in scripture that everyone knows is Zacharya four verse 10 says,
do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. And
I think the reason it says do not despise these small beginnings is because as humans,
we hate starting small because usually we're inspired by something big. We see
something that other people are doing and it inspires us towards greatness.
but what we fail to take into consideration is the thing that we've seen that's inspired us,
has been matured over many years. So we start out something small and we're like, we suck at this.
And it's actually all part of the way God intended it. He actually delights and weakness,
he delights and coming alongside you and saying, hey, I could help with that. So we're inspired by
something big, but we're forced to start with something small. But you think everything in nature
start to something small, even if it's a redwood or an adult. They all start as something small.
And if they don't start as something small, they actually can't, they can't properly grow.
But it's unique to everybody. It doesn't matter if you're quote-unquote,
a creative or not. We're surrounded by people who are highly creative. We're also surrounded
by people who are highly entrepreneurial, business people. And it's funny because when we compare,
Let's say we start something, I don't know, we start a blog or we start a company or we start
trying to write a song. When we compare with what we have versus what we want to have, ironically,
we get discouraged by our perceived lack instead of our actual progress.  It's nothing like what I want it to be," rather than saying,
"That's amazing. Half an hour ago, I didn't have this and now I do." So why is that? Why are we so
So Ben on discouraging ourselves.
I don't know.
I guess I think I definitely fall into that trap.
You do?
And I do.
I think even with the Ben book, I just felt like, oh, if I'd asked someone so to do it,
it would be so much better or whatever.
And you want it to be what it isn't yet.
Right.
That makes sense.
But ironically, I found certainly in my own life that oftentimes we're more content with
having nothing and the longing for something than having something small that shows how
far we have yet to go.
Isn't that weird?
So we're more like, "Oh, I wish I was creative."
And we're content to just stop there rather than saying, "I'm going to be creative and
pull out a pad."
- Present for creativity, yeah.
pull out a pad and pen and draw something because then we're actually reminded how far we've
got to go. But ironically, we're actually further than we were when we said, Oh, I'm not creative.
It's actually the Lord thinks differently. It says in that verse that the Lord rejoices to see the
work begin. So the reason for that is I've learned that God can do something with little, but nothing
with lack. Right. That's a good point.
So most of our problems in life stem from despising the little thinking it's
lack and actually not giving it to God to grow it.
Right. And what I've learned about God is he loves to come alongside us with
whatever we have.
Right. And he says to the disciples, Hey, you feed them.
He's going to see what they're going to do with it.
And they're like, Are you kidding me?
Like there's no way we can do this.
And so he finds the smallest child.
I'm not sure if it's a small child. He finds a small boy with small resources and the Lord's
like, I can do more with this than with your panicking. But often we excuse ourselves from
progressing with anything because we're more comfortable in our lack than with our little.
Yeah, I think that's really good, babe. Think about the parable of the talents. You know,
when the master gives five talents to one and three talents to another and one talent and says,
go off and do something with it. And what's funny is the guy who got one did nothing and
ended up getting nothing. And he was thinking, well, I thought you'd be mad. So I hit it. And
that's what we do all the time. Like, I wonder if the guy with one talent was like, well, if I had
five, I could do something, but I only have one and I can do nothing. And you know, gosh,
if I had five, I could afford to lose some of them. But I only have one. What if I lose that? I've
I've lost everything.
But here's the thing, we often think it has to do
with the amount that we start with,
but it really doesn't because the guys who had the five
and the three talents, they could have had the same fear.
They could have been thinking, oh man,
if I blow this, like I'm gonna lose five of them,
at least that guy only has one.
The thing is they risked something.
And I think in our culture and our community,
we've prioritized perfection over risking.
- I think that's exactly it.
I think perfectionism is what plays into the whole thing.
And I think we have a fear of what other people think
or what we're gonna think of ourselves
or maybe even what God thinks or whatever.
And it absolutely freezes us into doing nothing.
- Well, there's also that fear that we're being fraudulent
because when we start something,
we feel like we're faking something.
So think about it.
Think about your New Year's resolution
and you're going to the gym.
As soon as you walk into the gym
you've never been in a gym before.
You feel like you don't fit in.
Everybody knows I've never been here before.

I feel like I don't fit in.

So you have to overcome that fear.
I remember when we started podcasting, I was on a conversation with
somebody and they're like, Oh, what do you do?

And I started saying, I'm a podcaster, but felt like a fraud.
Because I'm like, well, how many podcasts do you have to produce before you
I'm a podcast official podcast.

I get, I mean, I guess like there's some magic number in our head that tells us once
we've crossed that threshold will be legit.
And until then, we're just a fake.
Right.
But I don't think that's true.
I think, you know, I've been to somebody this weekend and they were saying they really
want to write a blog post, but posting the first post feels so lame because it's now
it's out there and everybody can see your first effort, but you also have this huge pressure of,
if I don't post something soon, then it looks like I've quit and so we panic.
And we compare ourselves to the people who've been doing it for years and we're like,
"Oh, but we're not like the people who inspire us. They've got tons, but they actually only have
tons because they started with one." Right. Everybody starts with one.
So that's the thing.  Again, I guess I would compare a lot of things to parenting because
that's a lot of what we do. But parenting, everything moves slow and it grows slow and you have no
choice, but actually in the end, you're happy that it went that way because there was time
to grow it correctly.
Correctly.
You don't get the luxury of waiting till you know how to parent before you get a baby.
Right.
No.

Right.
And the next one comes and they're different from the first one.
You're like, "You're kidding me?
Is this sick joke?
What is going on here?"
Yeah.
And then number three, exactly the same.
there's things that are similar, but there's also lots of stuff that's still a learning curve.
Well, I think talking about the learning curve, one of the things I love about starting small,
because we start a couple of ventures. You've written a couple of books, we start podcasting,
we're stepping out into a few other things, all of which requires forces you to start small.
And I actually love the learning curve that comes with that. I love the rapid increase in
and understanding.
And here's a little trick I've learned
to trick myself into enjoying starting small.
And it's something that Holy Spirit told me years ago,
'cause I realized I only ever did things
I knew I could excel at.
Which means you're gonna have a pretty limited skill set.
If you only are ever gonna try things
you're already good at, then you're never gonna grow.
But I remember freaking out in teacher training school.
You know, I was learning to be a school teacher.
And I was freaking out thinking,
"Lord, I don't know how to do this."
And he was like, "Good job, you're in school then, huh?"
like, "What do you mean?" He said, "You're in teacher training school. The fact that you're
being trained means you don't already know how to do it. So give yourself a break." And I was like,
"Actually, that's magical thinking. So, you know, I'm learning to do this, which means I get grace
learning how to do something. I love the rapid increase in understanding that comes when you learn
something new." Yeah. And it's fun. I mean, I think once you realize that you can do it or that
that you're learning to do it,
and you're becoming competent at it,
then you start to gain confidence,
and it starts to be added to your tool belt kind of thing,
but it's the starting of something that's tricky.
- We've got some friends that Zai says,
that they're total geniuses.
Tiffany, you probably would have seen
on the internet on Instagram.
She does all the amazing Bible journaling artwork
that you've seen.
She's one of Zondervan's artists.
She was involved in the new Bible project,
the journaling Bible thing. She's just this creative genius.
Yes, she's so gifted.
Her husband is this, I don't know, he's this eclectic collection of genius business marketing.
He's just a super sharp guy, incredibly smart, hardworking people. He told me something a few
weeks ago that's really changed my way of thinking on this topic. He said, it's actually
really good to iterate in public. Previously, I thought that you can put something out there
till it's polished and finished. Which actually is a good excuse for perfectionism.
Yeah, again, back to that again.
Back to that whole thing, which is basically fear. He was like, no, no, don't be afraid to put out
something that isn't yet perfect. Put it out. Then tweak it, edit it, adjust it, change it.
Let other people watch you evolve what you're doing in public because you build
empathy with your audience. They see you having the same sort of struggles and process and
it's inspiring. That's how you build a fan base. I was like, man, that freed me up so much.
Because I think part of the killer to getting stuff done is we want it just so. We want it just
right. You don't have to worry about that. People would rather have something than nothing.
I think it's funny too, because if you think about us as people when we teach and stuff,
we're happy to be vulnerable, but it feels like it's a different thing to put out something that you know isn't where you want it to be.
And it's a visual representation of that.
So with regards to episode 100, here we are recording it.
We're now sitting in a purpose-built studio for podcasting.
Yes.
That's bizarre for me.
But it is.
There's a whole story in and of itself of how we ended up with this, which we'll have to tell at some point.
But we've got sound-insulating panels on the wall. We've got a purpose-built table with countersink
booms and shock-mounted microphones. We've got headphones to listen to all our recording levels.
And over in the corner there, there's an edit station with monitors and more headphones and
hundreds of dollars worth of software. But if we waited until we had all that stuff before
recording a podcast, we never have started. No. What do we start with? Two cheap microphones
and two mic stands. Well, what we started with was we borrowed all the equipment from Blake.
So Blake lent us some microphones, lent us some, you know, music stands and we tried it and we
didn't have any software to edit either. He edited it all for us. Thank you, Blake. We knew nothing,
but magical things happen when you start small. Yeah. And I've just seen time and time again that
that the Lord will come and breathe on something, but he'll wait while you have nothing.
So my encouragement dear listener is what have you been waiting until you're better at?
Because forget waiting.
Just start now.

So our encouragement to you this week is record that song.
that blog, write that book, start a business, ask that girl out.
Like whatever, don't let starting small put you off because there's tremendous joy in
starting small.
We did.
We loved making every episode, even the episodes where we forgot to hit record and then we
had to re-record it.
Even most recently, the episodes where all our equipment fails and I'm in tears thinking
what's going on because you're learning something from everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It has been really super fun.
And if you'd asked me before we started, I wouldn't have thought that I would really
enjoy it.
I was just like, "Okay, if you want to try it, let's try it."
Again, thinking we probably wouldn't do more than 10 episodes.
And here we are, 100 in.
Right.
And actually, I really love it.
And we want to thank all our listeners for that.
I mean, honestly, without you guys, there's no point in doing this.
And we love getting encouragement from you, from around the world.
We love getting emails.
We love getting feedback.
And so thank you so much.
you, like I said, there's no point in your encouragement for the last 100 episodes is super encouraging.
In many ways, we're just getting started. 100 episodes isn't that much. Some of the podcasts
I'm listening to are, I've got way more than that. Anyway, I want to encourage you, go do something
brilliant and do it by starting small. There's two resources I want to point you to. The first
First is an article I wrote a while back called 'Practice the Now'.
It's a short read, it'll take you maybe three minutes and hopefully it's going to inspire
you that you don't need the things you think you need to get started, just get started
now.
Practice the Now.
The second thing is a brilliant video that Jesse Earley got me into when I preached a
couple of months ago on creativity.
It's so succinctly describes a problem that we all face when we start producing new content.
It's brilliant.
It'll be super encouraging to you again.
It's three or four minutes long.
It's well worth your time.
Check the show notes for both of those.
To find the show notes for any episode that you're listening to, just go to allen and
ag.com/whatever number of the episode you're listening to in this case, it's 100.
So allenag.com/100.
If you'd like to send us any feedback or reach out to us at all, we'd love you to go ahead
and head over to alanahj.com/ask.
And we promise you between now and next episode,
we're gonna think of something special
to mark this amazing occasion
so long as we don't get sick.
So thanks for tuning in.
Once again, have an incredible week.
âTMª Faith, life, communication âTMª
âTMª Talk goes and video games âTMª
âTMª Pale you donuts and the kindness of God âTMª
But things we deal with every day

Campaign highlights: Johnson plans Queen’s Speech before Christmas
Labour pledged to take on ‘dodgy’ landlords.
Boris Johnson has proposed a pre-Christmas Queen’s Speech if the Tories are returned to power at the General Election.
Meanwhile, former prime minister Tony Blair warned both the Conservatives and Labour pose a risk to the UK, and Labour unveiled a charter of renters’ rights.
Here are some of the highlights of Monday’s campaign trail:
– Boris Johnson plans a pre-Christmas Queen’s Speech to bring back his Brexit legislation
Downing Street proposed that the state opening of Parliament would go ahead with “reduced ceremonial elements” if the Conservatives win a majority.
Mr Johnson would call for a Queen’s Speech to take place on December 19 if he remains Prime Minister after the election, under plans to bring his Brexit deal back before Christmas.
The proposed date would fall on the day the monarch usually departs for her festive break at Sandringham.
– Tony Blair has said Labour and Tory majorities are a risk to the UK
The former Labour prime minister said a Labour majority government, as well as a Tory majority government, “pose a risk” to the UK.
In a speech in London, Mr Blair stressed that both the Conservatives’ pledge to end the UK’s transition period after Brexit at the end of 2020 with or without a deal and Labour’s spending plans posed a “risk”.
– The Tories’ election manifesto promises on the NHS are facing scrutiny
The veracity of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s General Election manifesto promises have been called into question, with Labour saying the nursing figure was disingenuous when it included 19,000 nurses who the Tories wanted to retrain, and another 12,000 from overseas.
Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan said a “misreading” of the Tory manifesto may have resulted in people thinking they are pledging 50,000 “new” nurses if they win the General Election.
Her comments came just moments after Health Secretary Matt Hancock insisted there will indeed be 50,000 more nurses and 40 new hospitals under a Conservative government.
– There is less than 36 hours left to register to vote in the General Election
A last-minute surge in people registering to vote is expected ahead of the deadline on Tuesday night.
Nearly three million people have applied to register to vote in the past month, according to Government figures. Applications can be submitted until 11.59pm on November 26.
– Labour vows to hand power back to tenants with a charter of renters’ rights
Labour has pledged to take on “dodgy” landlords and introduce a charter of renters’ rights. The party proposes a new national “property MOT” to deal with what they say is the problem of squalid private rental housing.
Under the plans, there would be a legal requirement for landlords to complete an independent annual inspection to ensure homes are up to scratch, and if landlords let out sub-standard properties or flout the rules they will face fines of up to £100,000 and forced repayment of rent to tenants.
Trend of the day
Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan got in a slightly surreal debate on Good Morning Britain, with the presenters challenging the Tories’ pledge to ensure 50,000 more nurses in the NHS.
