For additional information on warnings and indicators, see Vehicle information display later in this section.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function is turned off. The brake system then operates normally, but without anti-lock assistance. See Brake system in the Starting and driving section.
This light functions for both the parking brake and the foot brake systems.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the light comes on when the parking brake is applied.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level.
1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See Brake fluid in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section of this manual.
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
- Your brake system may not be working properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. If you judge it to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station for repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous.
- Pressing the brake pedal with the engine stopped and/or a low brake fluid level may increase your stopping distance and braking will require greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
- If the brake fluid level is below the MINIMUM or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked at a NISSAN dealer.
If this light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate the charging system is not functioning properly. Turn the engine off and check the generator belt. If the belt is loose, broken, missing, or if the light remains on, see a NISSAN dealer immediately.
- Do not ground electrical accessories directly to the battery terminal. Doing so will bypass the variable control system and the vehicle battery may not charge completely. Refer to Variable voltage control system in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section later in this manual.
- Do not continue driving if the generator belt is loose, broken or missing.
This light warns of low engine oil pressure. If the light flickers or comes on during normal driving, pull off the road in a safe area, stop the engine immediately and call a NISSAN dealer or other authorized repair shop.
The engine oil pressure warning light is not designed to indicate a low oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. See Engine oil in the "Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section of this manual.
Running the engine with the engine oil pressure warning light on could cause serious damage to the engine almost immediately.
Such damage is not covered by warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it is safe to do so.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that monitors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, this light illuminates for about 1 second and turns off.
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
When the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, you should stop and adjust the tire pressure of all 4 tires to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the drivers door opening. The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is adjusted.
After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.
For additional information, see Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Starting and driving section and in the In case of emergency section.
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. The light will remain on after the 1 minute. Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
For additional information, see Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Starting and driving section and Tire pressure in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section in this manual.
- If the light does not illuminate with the ignition switch in the ON position, have the vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
- If the light illuminates while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Driving with under-inflated tires may permanently damage the tires and increase the likelihood of tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the tire pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the drivers door opening to turn the low tire pressure warning light OFF. If the light still comes on while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible.
- When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated, the TPMS will not function and the low tire pressure warning light will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system resetting.
- Replacing tires with those not originally specified by NISSAN could affect the proper operation of the TPMS.
- The TPMS is not a substitute for the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.
- If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less than 16 MPH (25 km/h), the TPMS may not operate correctly.
- Be sure to install the specified size of tires to the 4 wheels correctly.
This light comes on when various vehicle information display warnings appear.
The Intelligent Key warning light warns of a malfunction with the electrical steering lock system (if so equipped) or the Intelligent Key system.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, this light comes on for about 2 seconds and then turns off.
If the light comes on while the engine is stopped, it may not be possible to free the steering lock or to start the engine. If the light comes on while the engine is running, you can drive the vehicle. However, in these cases, contact a NISSAN dealer for repair as soon as possible.
See "NISSAN Intelligent Key" in the "Predriving checks and adjustments" section.
The light and chime remind you to fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the ignition switch is placed in the ON or START position and remains illuminated until the drivers seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds for about 6 seconds unless the drivers seat belt is securely fastened.
The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if the front passengers seat belt is not fastened when the front passengers seat is occupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the system does not activate the warning light for the front passenger.
Refer to Seat belts in the SafetySeats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system section for precautions on seat belt usage.
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON or START position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates for about 7 seconds and then turns off. This means the system is operational.
- The supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds.
- The supplemental air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
- The supplemental air bag warning light does not come on at all.
Unless checked and repaired, the supplemental restraint system (air bag system) and/or the pretensioners may not function properly. For additional details see Supplemental restraint system in the SafetySeats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system section of this manual.
If the supplemental air bag warning light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag systems and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

Q: Using multiple values for iQuery method .css() throws error: 'missing )'. However its not missing Error says I'm missing a parenthesis. However the syntax is identical to w3Schools and Mozilla. .css() works if im only setting one style, but break when setting more than 1.
jQuery

HTML:

   Please select type of container to add
  <select id= "container">
    <option value= "div" > &ltdiv&gt </option>
    <option value= "p"> &ltp&gt </option>
    <option value= "section"> &ltsection&gt </option>

  </select>

  <button id="btn" > Create Container </button>

A: When using .css() you have two options for passing arguments: comma separated strings or Object literal notation
therefore:
.css("background-color", " blue").css("height", "100px");

or rather:
.css({backgroundColor:"blue" , height:"100px"});

Also, instead of using $('select').val(); use a stricter selector like some ID; 'select' could be any select in your page.

jQuery($ => {

  const createElement = () => {

    const tagName = $('#element').val();

    return $(`<${tagName}/>`, {
      appendTo: '#layout',
      text: `This is a ${tagName}`,
      css: {
        backgroundColor: "blue",
        height: "100px"
      },
    });

  }

  $('#create').on('click', createElement);

});

    Please select type of container to add
    <select id="element">
      <option value="div">&ltdiv&gt</option>
      <option value="p">&ltp&gt</option>
      <option value="section">&ltsection&gt</option>
    </select>

  <button id="create">Create Container</button>

A: Multiple .css() properties need to be inside an Object.

$(document).ready(function() {

  // event-handler to create new element
  function createContainer() {

    // variables store values from <select> element
    var elementType = $('select').val();

    // string containing markup for use with .append()
    var elementTypeStr = $(` <${elementType}> This is a ${elementType} </${elementType}> `);
    // this throws error, while setting single style doesn't
    $('#layout_demo').append(elementTypeStr);
    elementTypeStr.css({
      "background-color": " blue",
      "height": "100px"
    });

  } // end createContainer()

  // ---------------------------- event handlers ---------------------

  $('#btn').click(createContainer);
  // button to delete latest element or selected element

}); // end ready

   Please select type of container to add
  <select id="container">
    <option value="div"> &ltdiv&gt </option>
    <option value="p"> &ltp&gt </option>
    <option value="section"> &ltsection&gt </option>

Below are a few testimonials written by some of our contented customers. We know how important it is to always maintain excellent levels of client satisfaction, as that is how we like to expand our client base.
"Throughout the recent hot spell, I was having to send my team home in the afternoons because our office was just too hot and therefore not suitable to work in. This cost me over 60 man hours of work time in total, which is not time I can recover….
I spoke to Jacques after a BNI on Thursday 2nd August and, having been to visit the site and liaised with our roofer to get everything ready, just 1 week later, the guys fitted our new system.
On the day of the installation it was absolutely pouring down – I was quite happy for the work to be completed the following day, but they carried on (they were soaked through after fitting the outside unit) and finished at 10pm, so we were able to start work the next day in a comfortable working environment.
Even though we tried to tidy up, take the rubbish to the dump etc, they would not let us do it and even left the office cleaner than they found it.
"I'd like to compliment of your employees, who put air conditioning system in place. You and your team have provided an excellent service I am talking about all the help throughout the process, to be able to get the right size of the unit, efficient service and polite manner. They have done an amazing job and I am really happy with your service overall.
"I just wanted to take a minute so you know how much we appreciate the outstanding customer service that your staff provided today.
Your employees were just very attentive and helpful. They were knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in helping us with our AC's units rather than just being focused on letting us know these are completely unrepairable and trying to sell something.
I know that you have fitted us in your busy schedule as soon as you could as it was urgent for us to have this looked ASAP at so it does mean a lot you were willing to take that additional work load.
"I asked Jacques to quote for some A/C improvements which were being planned at my offices in Westerham. My landlord at first was shocked by how low JP's quote for the work was compared with 2 others he had received. JP's friendly and professional manner along with his competitive pricing convinced him that he wanted to switch from his regular company.
There is a large project which JP and his company have undertaken for him and they are doing it in stages so as to minimise disruption to a busy office.
This is just a short note to thank you for the swift and efficient way in which you carried out the first phase of the air conditioning upgrading at Falcon House.
"It was a real delight to have Jacques Pretorius of JP Air Conditioning to organise our air conditioning as part of a renovation project at our factory during the early part of March 2014. JP Air Conditioning are one of only a few companies that I hold in this high regard from conception to completion.
The job was on budget, on schedule and followed up afterwards to ensure complete satisfaction.
"Jacques came to my premises to review my existing non-functioning air con. JP gave me the prices of fixing the existing system and a quotation for a new one. The price of the new Mitsubishi system with installation was so reasonable that I decided to cut my losses with the old outdated machine and have a brand new one installed.
JP and his assistant Carlos were fantastic! They were polite, efficient and worked effortlessly around me and my customers and I am delighted to have a brand new and efficient air conditioning system in an environment that can get VERY hot.
"Jacques and his team came to service my air conditioning for the first time this monthly as I signed up their annual maintenance package after experiencing their fantastic and professional services of the installation of the new system last year.
JP Air Conditioning works methodically and discreetly without disturbing the running of my business which is vital.
Jacques and his colleague were very professional, polite, tidy and worked really hard to install the three internal units and huge external controller in just two days.

Life, Resumed.
At 6:15 this morning, after approximately ten hours of a restless dream-filled sleep, I awoke feeling somewhat like myself again.
Thank Gawd!
Whoever coined the phrase "It's just a cold" was a sadist.
It has now been 11 hours since I've last sneezed, or glanced heavenward whilst muttering dramatically, "Okay….it's official. My head is definitely going to explode. Just get it over with…go ahead. Everyone'll survive without me."
It's always surprising to realize that the world does indeed go on, whilst one is wallowing in bodily-secretion-hell. There were 9 new messages on my answering machine and 3 new messages in voicemail, which is the backup to my answering machine. I am unclear of exactly when these messages arrived, as I've yet to reset the machine from our last power outage….so all I got is a robotic male voice announcing "TIME AND DATE NOT SET. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MANUAL FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO SET IT UP AFTER ALL THIS TIME. YOU HUMANS ARE SUCH IDIOTS…"
Well. I never.
I also had 3 email messages from work marked "URGENT"….followed by 2 with the subject line "Never Mind". See? Sometimes it pays to wait it out.
It's comforting to know that my morning dialogue is missed when I occasionally miss a weekday...makes me feel less like I'm talking to myself. Not that I DON'T talk to myself…'cause I do. I can admit that 'cause I'm one of those…creative, artistic types….we DO crazy stuff like that, don'tchaknow.
And speaking of crazy…I went to a book signing over the weekend. Actually, it was right before I became deathly ill….hmmmmm….interesting. Co-incidence? Or possible attempt at eliminating any witnesses to Margarete's past?
But I'm getting ahead of myself here.
First and foremost: Margarete is not crazy. I mean, she's fun-crazy….and she's KABOOM-crazy…but she's not cray-zee.
Second, she wrote a book:
…and not just ANY book, but a THRICE-AWARD-WINNING book. That means she won 3 awards…as in thrice…'cause she's three-times-better than your average author. Hence da thrice.
She had a book signing at Barnes & Noble on Saturday. Yes, BFF-since-kindergarten had a BOOK SIGNING at BARNES & NOBLE on Saturday. I arrived without said book, as she'd already professed her undying friendship, love, admiration and respect in my very own first edition that lives on my living room end table, alongside Clinton Kelly's Freakin' Fabulous…an unrelated, yet equally cherished tome.
Instead, I arrived with a bottle of tastefully-bagged Cab…and two straws.
Appropriate? You betcha.
The book is a must-read….the disease a must-eradicate.
'Nuff said.
I'm off to pen a letter to Oprah.
Very exciting about your friends' book. And I'm glad you're feeling better.
Margarete said...
Cab was perfect...
2 straws - genius!
Oprah....here WE come!
(ready for some couch jumping?)
Go Margarete, go Kathryn, go Oprah!


If there was any one man who articulated the anger, the struggle, and the beliefs of African Americans in the 1960s, that man was Malcolm X. His autobiography is now an established classic of modern America, a book that expresses like none other the crucial truth about our times.
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by history, both the good and the ugly. I first heard the name Malcolm X in elementary school when we were learning "This day in history" and it was February 21st; the day Malcolm X was murdered.
Throughout my educational career history was the class that I felt most inclined to learn, for those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. One thing that angers me to this day is that every year our history teachers would gladly teach us all about "American" history, by that I mean that they went into depth about white immigrant struggles, the industrial revolution and the like yet quickly skimmed over Native American history and African American history within a week, sometimes in a time frame even shorter than that.
"You have a nice poster of Malcolm X on your wall. I heard the brother speak," he replies. "I know where I came from."
Malcolm X was always celebrated on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and I was confused as to why they would say such good things about him if my teacher stated he was a 'bad man'. Later on I came to learn a couple of history teachers I've had over the years were prejudiced and sometimes manipulated history in favor of white people as they taught us. Because Malcolm had been racist during a portion of his life they condemn him. They don't give him credit for becoming a better man and changing his views. However, how many of my teachers told us we should have such love and adoration for our founding fathers and be grateful to them. How many of our founding fathers owned slaves and were openly racist? How many of our founding fathers allowed the terrible act of enslaving human beings, genocide, the stealing of land from the Native Americans, and segregation and discrimination to occur during their presidencies? And yet, we were taught to believe that they were such good men almost to the point of being superhuman.
I have never been one to let people tell me how or what to think. Just as Malcolm so eloquently stated; "Despite my firm convictions, I have been always a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth." I too always research for the truth. Once in a college level history class - imagine! - my teacher denied the genocide against the Native Americans that was done on our very soil and said that Christopher Columbus never did anything wrong and was one of the greatest men to ever live. I'm very slow to anger but that day I was red in the face and my fists were clenched as I and a few of my fellow classmates strongly disagreed with her ignorance in front of the rest of the class. I wanted to rip the textbook she assigned apart, for there are very few things I despise more than people trying to cover up the truth.
I've wanted to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X for so many years but every time I searched for it in shops or at the library I was always short in money or the book had been checked out or destroyed. I just wish I would have read this book sooner, preferably in middle school when I faced a lot of racism being a minority of mixed race as well as being an American Muslim in post 9/11 America. Reading about Malcolm's struggles and his undying determination to fight ignorance would have been great for me to read knowing that I could relate to someone who understood fully what it's like to face racism, bigotry, and blind seething hatred on a daily basis.
Upon recommendation by a human rights and environmental protection blogger that I have grown to respect and adore I decided to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He's always going on and on about how wonderful Malcolm was and I wanted to see for myself what all of the hullabaloo was about.
As Malcolm says halfway through his autobiography you cannot truly understand someone and why they may be the way they are unless you know their entire life's story. Malcolm has been considered a very controversial historical figure in both American and world history.
His life story is one of suffering, recklessness, anger, hatred, self-discovery, awakening, and ultimately enlightenment. He went from dealing drugs and hustling prostitutes to prison to becoming one of the most influential black leaders in African American history. Having only gone up to the 8th grade he explains how he had a "homemade" education in his prison cell and worked hard to become the highly intelligent man that he was before his untimely death. He tells his story with a strong voice and poignant speech. Malcolm always spoke with great passion fueled by his anger at the barbaric conditions of a society controlled by racism. He was known for his shock-factor way of speaking. Reading just how powerful his writing was I wish I could have heard the brother speak in real life.
From the very first sentence I knew that Malcolm's life was worth being documented because as he mentions numerous times throughout the autobiography his life is an example of what the ghetto can do to someone. Malcolm X was a great man and is such a misunderstood historical figure. He made mistakes, trusted the wrong people, and at times in his life had really closed-minded and hateful mentalities. However, Malcolm changed his hateful perspective and was not too proud of a man to admit when he was wrong and apologize sincerely.
This book brought to light so many issues with American society that most like to brush beneath the rug. Things have come so far from where they were in 1950 America, but there are still remnant race issues today. The Autobiography of Malcolm X is now one of my top 5 favorite books, it has inspired me and given me courage. It wasn't mandatory for us to read in school, we were always obligated to read books about white immigrant suffering but any books regarding African American history were "optional" or most often, not even available. I think The Autobiography of Malcolm X should be a mandatory book to read because it perfectly explains the African American struggle that must never be forgotten.
I now understand why the aforementioned human rights blogger always talked so highly of Malcolm, who now I consider one of my role models. Not just because he was a minority, or an American Muslim, but because he was an amazing human being that worked hard to fight the oppression of people, and never stopped bettering himself as a person. His life ended way too soon just as his philosophy was achieving wondrous heights, and it's sad knowing he could have accomplished so much more greatness. But his legacy and words will live on and continue to be an inspiration to all humans who strive for equality for all mankind.

When the Dragon Swallowed the Sun Review
"Once own Nations spirit's gone. That's death, isn't it?"
Although the film gives a fresh perspective on things it does not feel like it's offering any revealing insights into the Tibetan plight as a whole but further punctuating what already exists which is not really a negative it's just that if the points had been made more succinct then the film might have had a bit more ferocity behind it. Bringing the issue back into the Western consciousness is a noble feat and I appreciate how hard it must have been to get footage for this film and I commend Dirk Simon for his willingness to continue for seven years in documenting this project and it's a worthy cause to try and help and spread further light upon. Hopefully the release of the film now will bring the issue back into the Western consciousness as the film is lovingly put together.
It's informative and offers up a thorough look at Tibetan history in order to give a backdrop to what they face in modern times. Although it is pro Tibet it does try to offer a more balanced view or at least give a chance to show a multifaceted view of the situation from several differing opinions. It also manages to show us how the Chinese civilians see Tibet and how propaganda is used to make sure they think that they are genuinely helping Tibetans as you can see how clearly that's been fed into their beliefs when they clash with protestors and show them arguing with each other but not communicating with one another.
That is what the Dalai lama is offering, communication. He is very willing to let the Chinese officials have a word with him in the name of peace but he doesn't wish to resort to any type of violence. He is the most engaging person interviewed in this and seen talking elsewhere as he is a heavily involved in all aspects of the Tibetan movement and his charismatic character comes across well even in the height of seriousness he is able to make a joke. It is the other celebrity endorsements that feel somewhat tagged on to help promote the film in terms of Desmond Tutu and Richard Gere who both appear at a rally for a short minute and don't add too much to the film. It boasts a soundtrack by Phillip Glass, Thom Yorke and Damien Rice which feels invasive and out of place at times but is beautifully crafted music to help bring out the emotion.
This is where the documentary holds most of your attention through this honest way of showing where the free Tibet movement currently is and asking questions such as how? and why? Has it lost momentum and how the new generation should go about re-invigorating it. There are some who believe in the Dalai Lama's peaceful approach but others want a more active fight as they feel that is the way to settle things as well as others who are the sons and daughters of those who chose to live in exile after the Chinese Government claimed Tibet in the 1950's who have grown comfortable in their respective places because as the years pass memories fade and the movement begins to dwindle and Tibet could remain helpless.
When the Dragon Swallowed the Sun has its heart in the right place and starts off as an evocative piece but ultimately ends up as a lacklustre affair as it is void of a coherent narrative structure and as a result lacks a certain direction which can make it feel tedious and repetitive after a while but it should still be viewed because the human atrocities on display should be seen by all.

Two Major Spanish Public Institutions to Research Blockchain for Copyright Management
The Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers (SGAE) and the Madrid School of Telecommunications Engineering (ETSIT-UPM) announced July 26 a research partnership into implementing blockchain for copyright management in the digital era.
The two institutions have reportedly signed a one-year agreement to carry out collaborative research into building a digital processing platform for copyright management that would use blockchain alongside BigData, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). SGAE president José Miguel Fernández Sastrón outlined the partnership:
"The main lines of research will focus on disruptive technologies that address the challenges posed by the volume, diversity and dynamics of change in the use of content in the contemporary digital environment."
The platform will reportedly harness these technologies to help protect authors' musical and audiovisual content in the internet in particular.
The one-year agreement has been signed through the Rogelio Segovia Foundation for the development of telecommunications (Fundetel), and has resulted in the creation of a new SGAE-ETSIT-UPM chair to oversee the joint initiative.
As Cointelegraph reported earlier this week, the government of the autonomous Spanish community of Catalonia has just revealed its own plans for blockchain tech implementation in "all areas" of its public administrative activities by December 2018.
Spain-headquartered Banco Santander has also this month announced the creation of a blockchain research team to look into the technology's potential to innovate securities trading.

Fife man punched pregnant wife then threatened to petrol bomb house
by Fife Reporter · June 7, 2018
A pregnant woman was repeatedly punched by her husband as she lay in bed after he called her a "fat slag".
Peter Conroy, a disqualified motorist, then drove off and later warned his wife that he would return to petrol-bomb the house.
Conroy (29), of Loch Street, Townhill, whose record was described as "unenviable to say the least" by his own solicitor, appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He admitted that on 1st June at his home he assaulted his wife, then pregnant, by repeatedly punching her on the head.
He also admitted that at Loch Street and elsewhere, he drove a car while disqualified.
Conroy further admitted that on 2nd June at Loch Street and elsewhere he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner by threatening to attend at her grandfather's address, repeatedly shouted, swore and threatened to petrol bomb his wife's home. He committed this offence while on bail.
Depute fiscal Dev Kapadia said the couple had been married for two years and Mrs Conroy was 12 weeks pregnant.
He went on, "On the evening of 1st June they were together at home having returned from separate nights out with friends in Edinburgh.
"The accused began to berate his wife and calling her a 'fat slag'. He said he no longer wanted to be with her and she became upset.
"She went to the bedroom and he followed behind her. He then lay down on the bed beside her and continued to call her offensive names.
"The accused then punched his wife on the head three times, leaving her in tears."
Conroy, who suffers from cerebral palsy, then left the house and was seen driving away, even though he is banned.
Police were contacted and Conroy then phoned his wife and threatened to go her grandfather's house causing her alarm, added the depute.
He also threatened to petrol-bomb their house.
Sheriff Robert Dickson told Conroy, "You've been given repeated opportunities in the past. Punching a pregnant woman is totally unacceptable, as is driving while disqualified.
"You then threatened to visit an elderly man and also to petrol-bomb your home where your wife was."
He jailed Conroy for 10 months and banned him from driving for two years.

Odette Wins Battle on Bay Competition
A team of four Odette students took home the first-place prize at this year's 2020 Batttle on Bay Financial Case Competition, organized by students at Ryerson University in Toronto.
The winning team were l-r Nico Fazio, BJ Ivanovski, Kyle Drouillard, and Dylan Maitre. Battle on Bay is one of Canada's longest standing and most respected finance case competitions, and this is the first time the Odette School of Business has placed in the top three. This year's case was on Accenture, a global consulting and outsourcing firm.
The team was tasked with setting a price target on the company using various valuation methods as well as recommending a strategic acquisition.
BJ Ivanovski had also earned the "Best Speaker" award out of 50+ delegates. This award is given to the delegate in which the judges feel embodies outstanding presentation and communication skills.
The competition was structured with two rounds: a prepared case where delegates have a week to analyze a public company and answer questions given to them, and a crisis case where delegates are placed in rooms with little access to resources aside from their initial presentation. In the crisis case round, teams have 90 minutes to create a presentation which answers the questions given. The top six teams from the first round present their crisis case solution to a panel of judges and all other delegates, to compete for the grand prize.
Trust and teamwork played a crucial role in the success of the team.
"Going into this, we knew we had to use our individual strengths and put trust in each other to work as efficiently as possible – especially in the crisis case round." Ivanovski said.
The Odette students competed against 13 teams from schools across Canada, including University of Waterloo, University of Western Ontario, McMaster University, University of Guelph, Dalhousie University, Ryerson University, Mount Royal University, and Bishops University.

Former chairman of UAE's NMC urges administrator to act swiftly, supports investigation
Faisal Belhoul said it remains crucial that the investigation into any and all prior wrongdoings at the company is "fully supported"
The former executive chairman of troubled UAE healthcare firm NMC has urged the administrator to act "swiftly and equitably" to ensure the interest of all the parties involved.
Faisal Belhoul, chairman of Ithmar Capital Partners – which owns a 9 per cent stake in NMC – had previously urged creditors not to put the company into administration.
However, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, which is owed $963m by NMC, pushed for administration with a London Court appointing Alvarez & Marsal as the administrator last week.
Read: NMC heads to administration after bowing to creditor demands
"On 8th April, 2020, in the role of executive chairman, I and the then board agreed to the NMC Health entering administration," Belhoul said in a statement.
"Although putting a company under administration has many downsides, this was the only possible scenario given the circumstances, especially considering the fact that ADCB was willing to rescue the company as a going concern, rather than initiating liquidation procedures.
"In my previous role as executive chairman of NMC, my objective was to ensure that the administration process commenced without resorting to legal battles, which would have been detrimental to all parties – the company, the thousands of healthcare professional it employs and the patients they treat, and ultimately the wider healthcare sector and the UAE," he stated.
Belhoul said his goal in leading the company was to bring "operational and financial stability" and ensure the continuity of healthcare provisions in the UAE, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The former board has now safely handed over the company to the administrator, whom I urge to act swiftly, equitably and in the best interests of all parties," Belhoul said.
"I also reiterate that it remains crucial that the investigation into any and all prior wrongdoings at the company is fully supported and pursued with the relevant authorities, and that all involved parties are held accountable from within or outside the company.
"I will do all in my power to support this process, working with the administration team and other partners," he added.
Once the Arab world's top performing stock, the shares of NMC, founded by Indian entrepreneur BR Shetty, plunged before trading was suspended amid allegations of fraud. Most of NMC's senior management has resigned since it revealed more than $4bn of undisclosed debt. The company was also dropped from the FTSE 100 index.

Robin Thicke's new video for "Back Together" features Nicki Minaj .. I am sure you have all been waiting for its arrival.

We died and wanted to punch things as we watched this video, he is creep as f*ck. It feels like Robin's divorce hit him hard and he has taken it out on our ears. The video is poor attempt to make this dude look relevant, it actually reinforces the creep vibe.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd manager insists he will be successful
Sport News>
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he will be successful at Manchester United and vows not to "fall like a house of cards" after back-to-back defeats.
United are 15th in the Premier League table with only two wins from six matches and are reeling from a 2-1 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League on Wednesday – three days after losing 1-0 to Arsenal.
Those results have brought Solskjaer's position under scrutiny, but United have no plans to replace him despite reports linking former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino with the manager's role at Old Trafford.
Asked if he is certain of being successful at the club, Solskjaer said: "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
"If I don't trust my beliefs and values, my staff's qualities and the quality of my players, who else should?
"I don't look at one or two results and fall like a house of cards. It's a setback, definitely, but I think there's been too much made of not scoring against Arsenal and Chelsea, because there's been more or less nothing in those two games. "It's not long ago that we were the best thing since sliced bread when we beat RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain.
"There's ups and downs in football and that's just the way it has to be and you've got to have that belief in yourself and belief in the players.
"From what I've seen from the boys, they've been very focused since we've come back and are ready to give a response.
"You don't have to be happy to still stay positive. On difficult days in life, you know there will be better ones coming. I know these players well enough and I trust them enough to respond."
United have suffered their worst start to a league season since the David Moyes era and are just four points above the relegation zone at this early stage.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes the game at Goodison Park is Solskjaer's "biggest of his managerial career", but the United boss says pressure is expected when representing the "biggest club in the world".
"I've always had a very good, open, honest and positive dialogue with the club. They've shown strong leadership and I've had good dialogue continually since I came in," Solskjaer added.
"Of course, there's always pressure and expectations on us but I've grown up here and I became a man at Manchester United.
"I've learned how to deal with good and bad times. You're a top coach or manager when you win and you're bad when you lose, because you're not really better than your last game.
"Every game of football becomes history quickly and we've just got to go into Goodison Park in a positive frame of mind.
"You have to be mentally strong. There's demands on a Manchester United player, coach and manager and there's also expectation because we are the best and biggest club in the world.
"You don't expect to have anything but criticism. It's just how you deal with it and how you deal with those setbacks."
"From what I'm being told, Manchester United still see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a long-term project and somebody who should be given the backing and support to do this job. I don't think anything's changed.
"What's their reaction to the last couple of days? I think it's not good. A week ago, we were all saying what an amazing coach and how things have changed under Solskjaer.
"He out-thought RB Leipzig when they won 5-0 at Old Trafford and everything seemed to be changing. The flipside to that is, how on earth did those players beat Leipzig 5-0 and then put in the performances that we've seen over the last couple of games?
"There are major question marks. You saw Solskjaer – he was furious with what happened in Istanbul. He protected his players, didn't criticise them too much. But I think you can see that he's expecting a big turnaround against Everton at the weekend.
"We have been here before but most Manchester United fans would tell you, when he needs a result, he gets one. But going to Everton at the weekend won't be easy. November is a sticky time for managers post Sir Alex Ferguson.
"This time last year, there were the same questions against Solskjaer. The message from United is that they're backing Solskjaer. He is the man for the long-term, but things do need to improve on the pitch.
"Everybody will be looking at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime to see what kind of Manchester United team do turn up. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be leading that team.
"He needs a performance and he also needs a result against Everton."

L'église Sainte-Madeleine est une église catholique située à Péronne, dans le département français de Saône-et-Loire, en France. Elle relève de la paroisse Notre-Dame-des-Coteaux en Mâconnais (qui a son siège à Lugny).

Historique
Une trace de cette église est mentionnée dans un document datant de 938 : ne subsiste de cette époque que la façade occidentale.

Elle a probablement été reconstruite entre 1080 et 1120 (nef, clocher et abside) et d'autres modifications ont été apportées entre le  et le  :
 XVI siècle : construction d'un porche avec auvent sur la façade ouest ;
 1786 : création d'une sacristie ;
 restauration de la charpente ;
 2 prairial an VII (21 mai 1799) : moyennant 900 francs, l'église est vendue à un particulier, à titre de bien national ;
 1824 : l'église est rachetée par quarante-cinq familles de Péronne, avant d'être vendue l'année suivante à la municipalité, dans le but de la rendre communale ;
 1847 : construction du porche et du clocher ;
 1877 : rehaussement du clocher ;
 1931 : réfection de la toiture de la nef (couverte de laves).

L'église fut vendue nationalement le 2 prairial an VII, au sieur Étienne Tête.

Inscrite plusieurs fois au titre des monuments historiques au cours du  (La sculpture romane en 1927 ; Abside en 1946), l'église est inscrite en totalité en 2018.

Description
L'église se compose d'une nef unique, prolongée d'une travée carrée sous le clocher, prolongée elle-même par une abside formant le chœur. La nef est plafonnée et éclairée par quatre fenêtres en plein cintre. L'abside est éclairée par trois baies séparées par des colonnettes.

À l'extérieur, sur la façade sud :
un intéressant linteau de porte – sans doute un réemploi – montre deux animaux sculptés assez grossièrement (des lions ?), se faisant face et séparés par un arbre, d'inspiration orientale ;
un autre linteau représentant un coq (objet de culte celtique ?) ;

Le clocher, carré et massif, inclut trois étages. Il abrite une cloche de 1 035 kg, fondue en 1872 par Burdin Aîné, fondeur à Lyon.

Contre le mur sud de la nef, croix de pierre datée de 1768 (croix de l'ancien cimetière, qui jouxtait jadis l'église et qui fut transféré hors du bourg au XIX siècle).

UNHCR supports 130,000 Iraqis taking the first steps on the road to recovery, thanks to funds from the UK Department for International Development
Baghdad, Iraq - Date: 13 September 2018: UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, completes a year-long series of activities this month, supporting 130,000 vulnerable Iraqis as they take the first steps on the road to recovery, thanks to the generous donation of £9 million from the UK Department for International Development (DFID).
With these funds, UNHCR was able to reach approximately 90,000 people with cash assistance, and support 40,000 people to obtain the legal documents that are essential for them to access social welfare services provided by the Iraqi government.
The recent conflict cast a long shadow across Iraq. As the country begins to recover, the challenges faced by millions of people diversify. Although different to the situation endured during the years of extremist control and conflict, the current problems are no less acute for the people facing them. By promoting self-sufficiency, reducing the burden of debt and encouraging reintegration into existing social mechanisms, programmes like cash assistance and access to legal documentation help to lay the groundwork for longer-term recovery.
"The UK continues to stand by vulnerable Iraqis affected by the devastating conflict with Da'esh," said Mr. Jim Carpy, Head of DFID Iraq. "Through UNHCR's programme, UK aid is providing families displaced by conflict with cash assistance, allowing them to buy food and other essential items, re-build their lives, and ultimately return home when it is safe to do so. Our support to displaced people – including many female-headed households – offers them dignity while empowering them to prioritise their own needs in a flexible and cost-effective way."
"Cash assistance and access to new and replacement documents are crucial for Iraqis making the jump from crisis to recovery," said Mr. Bruno Geddo, UNHCR's Representative in Iraq. "The first step can be the hardest to take, and we must continue to stand by the people of Iraq as they start the long journey to peace and stability. UNHCR is grateful to DFID for its long standing support on cash assistance. At a time when global interest in Iraq is diminishing, I urge key donors to maintain the support they have so generously provided throughout this critical time. There is no quick fix for Iraq, and underfunding could severely impact many vulnerable people still unable to return home in a safe and sustainable way."

Flexible gas lines are used to carry natural gas or liquefied petroleum (LP gas or propane) from a gas main into a home, where the fuel powers appliances. Flexible lines may be used to connect buildings or to connect new appliances to an existing gas system. Different types of flexible gas lines are available for each gas supply project.
Available in coils of up to 1,000 feet or in shorter lengths as connectors with fittings in place, corrugated stainless steel tubing is a popular flexible gas line for indoor and outdoor applications. Stainless tubing is coated with polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride or epoxy to enhance durability.
Flexible copper tubing "snakes" through tight spaces and nontraditional pathways to supply gas appliances through home interiors. It can be bent up to 90 degrees, comes in lengths up to 100 feet and joins with standard fittings. Copper tubing has been used in homes for decades to transport water, air and natural gas.
Available in up to 500-foot lengths and iron and copper pipe size diameters, polyethylene (PE) gas pipe is used to bring natural gas or LP gas to a building. It is made of medium-to-high-density polyethylene, which is a noncorrosive, durable and relatively inexpensive plastic compound. PE gas line is used for exterior underground installation only.

The Australian covered bond market has come a long way in a short space of time. Although the possibility has been discussed for years, its first issuance did not come until late last year. Yet from a standing start, Australia has established itself as a covered bond market to be reckoned with.
It is now easy to forget that until October last year, Australia did not have a covered bond market. Progress had been hampered for years by regulatory concerns, the main one being the impact it would have on the existing senior unsecured market: any claims made on banks by investors in the senior unsecured market are subordinated to covered bond claims in the event of a default.
The Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority also worried about the impact on depositors, with any depositor guarantee scheme sitting awkwardly alongside a thriving covered bond market.
Eventually, however, the need for a covered bond market became irresistible. "APRA had to move because Australian banks had a limited choice when it comes to assets that count as liquid assets under Basel III," said Mauricio Noe, head of senior and covered bonds, EMEA at Deutsche Bank. "The Australian government doesn't issue because they run a surplus, so they needed to give the banks something to invest in."
The regulator's concerns about structural subordination are valid, said Derry Hubbard, head of covered bond origination at BNP Paribas, though ultimately they were neatly resolved in much the same way some other jurisdictions have tackled the issue, via an issuance cap, which for Australia stands at 8% of issuance.
Suncorp joins the party
So far issuance has been dominated by the so-called "big four" Australian banks, though more recently Suncorp, in the second tier of antipodean lenders, has also joined in the party. In the Australian covered bond market's short life, there have been obstacles, including a few significant disappointments that threatened to undermine the appeal of this emerging asset class. The euro crisis has proved a difficult backdrop against which to launch successful deals, especially given the inherently European nature of the covered bond sector.
"The Australian government doesn't issue because they run a surplus, so they needed to give the banks something to invest in"
In October, when the big four banks started launching their transactions, the US dollar market seemed the way to go: "The euro market was experiencing acute volatility at the time relating to the sovereign debt crisis, while dollar pricing looked favourable," said Sean Henderson, head of DCM at HSBC in Australia.
The logic seemed sound enough at the time but in retrospect it was the wrong call. "The US investor base isn't as broad or deep as Europe in the product and so the deals were not without their challenges in execution," said Henderson.
"Some read too much into the outcome of those trades," he said. The banks are sophisticated enough to know one or two tougher trades do not undermine the relevance of the product, and subsequent issuance has demonstrated this point, he added.
Given the fact that it is a young market, it remains to be seen whether the regulator and the public will reach the same conclusion.
Antipodean appeal
Although the quality of the issuer and the cover pool of a specific transaction are important factors in determining the outcome of a covered bond transaction, the principal consideration is the perception of the country from which the issuance is made, said Heiko Langer, head of covered bond research at BNP Paribas.
And Australia looks pretty appealing from an economic perspective right now, especially from the vantage point of an overwhelmingly European investor base. There is a strong link between a covered bond and a sovereign bond from the same country, and in the absence of Australian sovereign paper, covered bonds have become a good way of taking on Australian sovereign risk for international investors.
Yet the Australian covered bond market is driven principally by domestic investors. Australian banks have issued around A$30bn, with about 40% of this denominated in Australian dollars. Those that assumed the Australian covered bond market would be dominated by offshore accounts have been surprised, with domestic investors showing considerable enthusiasm.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia opened the Aussie dollar market and wanted to prove depth was possible from the outset, paying up a bit to do so.
"They may have put a small premium on that trade, but also proved there was A$4bn of demand and 90 potential investors out there, and at the same time borrowed well inside their offshore funding costs," said Henderson. In the end 20% of the CBA deal went offshore, with the deal redefining what the Aussie dollar market could be, paving the way for Westpac to follow, and ultimately Suncorp too.
This added to a strong list of markets available for Australian issuers to tap. The US dollar market still arguably offers the best pricing, but performance throughout the sovereign debt crisis has confirmed that the euro market offers the most efficient execution. For Australian issuers the Aussie dollar offers size, while there are plenty of other markets that can be tapped opportunistically.
These options are great news for issuers that have to contend with the decline of the securitisation market. The repricing of bank risk, in terms of what can be achieved in the secured market relative to the unsecured market, has also reinforced the appeal of the covered bond market for issuers, meaning additional potential cost savings, said Langer. An overhang of government guaranteed Australian bank debt that is coming due is being partially refinanced in the covered bond market, he said.
Riding without stabilisers
So there has been a confluence of factors contributing to the dramatic growth of the covered bond market in Australia. What is notable is that this growth has been achieved without the same regulatory support that is found in many regions: Australian banks cannot use covered bonds in their Basel III liquidity buffers, as some of their peers in other parts of the world will.
There is, however, a growing expectation that other Asian regulators will allow covered bonds to be counted as liquid assets in calculating the liquidity coverage ratio. Australian banks likely to benefit from increased demand from these countries if this proves to be the case.
The omens are good that demand will be considerable and consistent. Investors in Australian covered bonds often ask about the state of the real estate sector in that country, as well as other factors, such as Chinese slow-down and commodity weakness, said Hubbard. Such concerns might have proved to be dissuasive. But investors are quickly satisfied that the covered bonds offer a high degree of safety due to the quality and indexed nature of the pools, said Hubbard.
Crucially, covered bonds represent an increasingly rare opportunity for a Triple A investment, at a time of numerous sovereign downgrades. There is a robust safe haven bid, said Hubbard, with investors flocking to Australian covered bonds to diversify away from European exposure, with confidence high that the asset class will offer capital protection and stability.
"The forthcoming emergence of the New Zealand market will also boost issuance in the sector"
The Australian market therefore has considerable scope to grow from here, said Hubbard. All the big banks now have established covered bond programmes which are likely to be actively used. How much depends on the specifics of the market, for example the price that can be achieved versus unsecured debt and the evolution of the mortgage market in Australia. "The forthcoming emergence of the New Zealand market will also boost issuance in the sector," said Hubbard.
Australian issuance is determined more by market and price stability than investor availability: Australian institutional investors are long cash, and there is not enough FIG issuance in the country to satisfy investor demand for Triple A paper.
Issuance spike
The potential size of the Australian covered bond market, assuming an 8% cap on encumbrance, is about A$100bn–$120bn, but banks will not want to get into a situation where all the refinancing will be due at once, said Henderson.
So issuance is likely to come in at around A$20bn–$25bn per year, or maybe A$5bn–$7bn per bank. Issuance could spike in times of market stress as covered bonds are more effective instrument when funding in times of volatility, though not to the point banks will come close to that 8% barrier, said Henderson.
Covered bonds have been well received by the market and they are a very good weapon to have in the armoury, offering access to a part of the European market which remains open even when other parts are closed.
There are limits to growth potential, however. There are few institutions in Australia with a sufficient mortgage book to consider launching covered bond transactions, with smaller lenders likely to favour the simplicity of an RMBS transaction.
Meanwhile, Aussie issuers also have shrinking funding requirements: a few years ago banks were raising A$35bn–$45bn a year, but that has now shrunk to around A$20bn, with banks using their deposit bases more aggressively than in the past. But this merely suggests investors will be all the more keen to buy up whatever is available.

To view the digital version of this report, please click here.Spanish banks are facing an uncertain future in the covered bond market. Grappling with a capital shortfall anywhere from €62bn to €100bn, the country's banks are now shut out of the covered bond market, their only source of public funding, for the foreseeable future.In spite of the pledging of eurozone bailout funds to address their capital shortfalls, Spanish banks are facing an uncertain future in the covered bond market – their only source of public funding in the recent past.In June, Moody's issued a stern warning to the market that the increase of Cedulas issuance accompanied by a drastic decline in mortgage lending would affect overcollateralisation levels, which would have a negative effect on existing covered bondholders."This issuance surge diminishes the overcollateralisation enjoyed by covered bondholders, a credit negative. The decline in Spanish mortgage lending will further reduce the overcollateralisation," the ratings agency said.Moody's estimates that during the next 18 months there will be an average 30% decline in overcollateralisation.Barclays also took a view that dwindling collateral levels spell bad news for a country that is desperately trying to repair its banking system that was overly exposed to the now crippled real estate sector.Analysts at the UK-headquartered bank noted that the issuance reduces overcollateralisation to the legal minimum of 25% and increases asset encumbrance. "All this is bad news for existing Cedulas holders," they said.The fact that Spanish banks' mortgage lending business has declined means there are fewer mortgages to replenish cover pools to protect bondholders in the event of a bank insolvency.Spanish banks were largely trading through government bonds, which Barclays' analysts said reflected the resilience of the investor base. However, they expect this to change."High spread volatility in Spanish government bond markets, combined with negative rating actions on the sovereign, the senior rating of Spanish banks and, more recently, covered bonds, have started to affect Spanish covered bonds," Barclays said.Hope fadesEarly in the first quarter, market participants were hopeful that a high stockpile of LTRO cash, the introduction of bank reforms in Spain and a tightening of spreads would continue to allow the country's banks to access the covered bond market.For a time they were correct. Spain's banks sold €7bn worth of covered bonds to both domestic and international investors during two months of relatively energetic issuing activity.Santander was the first to take advantage of this growing demand – it broke the seal on the peripheral bond market and sold the first Spanish transaction in more than eight months in February. It priced a €2bn three-year issue at mid-swaps plus 210bp via Barclays, Citigroup, Natixis and Santander.Banco Popular, Bankia and Sabadell followed suit and highlighted just how supportive the country's domestic investor base is. Analysts were convinced that despite ongoing uncertainty in Spain domestic investors would support their financial sector."Despite a noticeable drop in the current assessment score, Italian and Spanish investors still have the biggest confidence in their domestic markets," said Florian Eichert, head of covered bond research at Credit Agricole CIB in April as the market door slammed closed.Using four covered bond deals that priced earlier this year as a sample, international investors accounted for an average of 60% of the distribution, down 13% from the total received from the borrowers in the past 18 months. In the case of BBVA's senior unsecured bond, the international take-up was significantly larger, with more than 72% sold to non-Iberian investors.However, this confidence and initial optimism from domestic investors around Spain's ability to lead its banks out of financial ruin faded fast as those who steered clear of the country's bank credit as they believed

Police say there are daily fights at some schools in Oslo

Posted By: Gerard Taylor 21. September 2017
Police believe the school environment in the capital is more uneasy than before. At one school, there have been fights, daily. A student was attacked with a taser weapon.
On Wednesday last week, a student at Stovner Upper School, threatened with the taser weapon in front of fellow students at Stovner High School, wrote Dagsavisen.
The 16 year old was arrested by the police, and taken in for investigation. Two days earlier, the same student was found with another taser weapon by a teacher. That same week, a pupil shot an air rifle, with small metal pellets, at Ulsrud High School.
'The school start this year has been characterised by several unwanted events, and a more troubled school environment than we've seen before.
Especially in some vulnerable schools we've seen this pattern,' said Jarle Kolstad, leader of the prevention unit at the Manglerud and Stovner police station.
He said his impression is that the extent of the problems are greater than before, including bullying, violence, threats, fights,and drug sales.
'Sex-related issues, and power struggles about who will be the boss in the class have taken a lot of space,' Kolstad said.
Almost two weeks ago there was daily fighting at Stovner Upper School. Among other things, a student was transported for medical attention with a possible broken nose.
'Many people are fearful, and feel directly unsafe in their own workplace,' said a source at Dagsavisen newspaper.
Dagsavisen hadn't succeeded in getting a comment from the principals at Stovner and Ulsrud Upper School.

My friend J. phoned to ask me a computer question but before she could get started I had to tell her about the book I was reading. I was sitting in the sunroom with the doors open, smelling the newly mowed grass and reading Natalie Goldberg's novel Banana Rose (Bantam). "Oh God, how is it?" she wanted to know. "It's good," I said, "really good. Just like her other books. Her words just pull you in." We both laughed then because we had been a bit nervous about this book with the goofy title. Natalie Goldberg has written two great booksabout writing—but could she actually write? Goldberg's story takes place in the 1960s but there is no distance between then and now. The narrator is not talking about how it was back then—she is living the story right now. Banana Rose is a young hippie woman trying to make sense of her life, falling in love, making painful choices, and dealing with the death of her best friend. I couldn't stop reading this book. I held it open in one hand while I brushed my teeth, reading about love and hippies in New Mexico. I read it while I ate a piece of rhubarb pie—the crust was perfect, crumbling in my mouth and letting out the tender sweet flavour of the rhubarb—while angst and alienation unfolded in Minneapolis. I couldn't read it while I was driving my daughter across town, but I was still in the story, still feeling the immediacy of Goldberg's writing. The day looked brighter, the neighbour's lawns looked greener, and I had a big smile on my face. That night, propped up beside my snoring partner, I was back in New Mexico, moving slowly and painfully on. It was the middle of the night when I got to the end of the book, but I turned it over, and started reading it all over again.

Zach Pfeffer, Android Platform Lead at Linaro, talks about (GPU) Binary Blobs and the problems they cause at Embedded Linux Conference 2012.
Binary Blobs Attack!!! Most SoC vendors distribute binary blobs with Linux kernel shims. These binary blobs enable graphics engines, DSPs and other cores on ARM and other architecture SoCs. These binary blobs tend to be tied to specific kernel versions which limits unreadability and hackability and complicates device manufactures, which slows down innovation and the introduction of new and unique computing devices.
Most of the issues at Linaro come from (GPU) Binary blobs, they delay projects and cause projects to cost more as FAE and more engineers must be involved in solving problems.
Blobs are here to stay mostly due to legal reasons (patents).
Binary Blob are usually OS independent, e.g. the same binary is used in Windows and Linux, in order to save development costs and this may cause problems.
He would also consider having an Open Source Lawyer organization to work around legal issues with such open source drivers.
