The gated island destination in Dubai was unveiled by Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar, and Elie Saab, founder and chairman of Elie Saab Group.
Luxury has a new destination: The Elie Saab at Emaar Beachfront project. The gated island destination in Dubai was unveiled Sunday at Dubai Opera by Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar, and Elie Saab, founder and chairman of Elie Saab Group.
Global developer Emaar is partnering for the first time with the renowned fashion designer for the new residential development.
In addition to one to three-bedroom apartments, the tower will have an exquisite collection of Elie Saab four-bedroom penthouses — overlooking the Arabian Sea, The Palm and Dubai Marina.
Designed to celebrate the 1930s Art Deco era, the tower sets itself apart in height, profile and its inherent link to fashion and style. Ground-level boutique fashion stores, galleries and cafes, as well as lobbies designed by Saab, promote the feeling of luxury.
Inspired by chic Miami lifestyle, an amenity pool deck located at the eighth level ensures superb views and privacy from the promenade.
Owners of these select units will also have the chance to get a private consultation from the Elie Saab design team on purchasing furniture for their premium units.

Q: C++ valgrind error message segmentation fault I'm new to C++ and I'm trying to write an enigma machine simulator. I know I've done something funky with my pointers and I've run it through Valgrind, but I'm not sure what the error messages mean and where to begin fixing it? (What does suppressed mean in the leak summary?)
Here's part of the code where each component is created and where the error occurs.
Enigma::Enigma(int argc, char** argv){

errorCode = NO_ERROR;
plugboard = NULL;
*rotor = NULL;   //WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS
reflector = NULL;
rotorCount = 0;

//first check how many rotors there are
if (argc >= 5)
  rotorCount = argc - 4;
if (argc <= 4)
  errorCode = INSUFFICIENT_NUMBER_OF_PARAMETERS;

//pass files into each component and check if well-formed
if (errorCode == NO_ERROR){
  plugboard = new Plugboard(argv[1]);
  errorCode = plugboard -> errorCode;

if (errorCode == NO_ERROR){
  cout << "Plugboard configuration loaded successfully" << endl;
  reflector = new Reflector(argv[2]);
  errorCode = reflector -> errorCode;

  if (errorCode == NO_ERROR){
    cout << "Reflector configuration loaded successfully" << endl;
    rotor = new Rotor*[rotorCount];

    size_t i = 0;
    while (i < rotorCount && errorCode == NO_ERROR) {
      rotor[i] = new Rotor (argv[i+3]);
      i++;
      errorCode = rotor[i]-> errorCode;

      //destructor if rotor loading was unsuccessful
      if (errorCode != NO_ERROR){
        for (int j=0; j<=i; j++)
          delete rotor[j];
        delete [] rotor;

A: Maybe you should take a look at: How do pointer to pointers work in C?
Basically, I see that rotor is a pointer to pointer or possibly an array of pointers (since you initialize *rotor to NULL and later also set rotor[i] = new Rotor).
Make sure you've initialized rotor properly. Is it pointing to a valid object? If not, you cannot expect *rotort = NULL /* or whatever value */; to work.

A: Basically suppressed means the memory leaks outside of your code in shared libraries.And *rotor = NULL,but it doesn't point to any valid object..

LONDON – On Tuesday, a car that was speeding struck several pedestrians and eventually crashed into a security barrier outside the House of Parliament in London. The police detained the male driver.
Video footage shows somewhere close to a dozen armed police officers heading towards a silver Ford and pointing their weapons at it. Eventually, they successfully handcuffed the driver.
Police officers urged people to leave the area and set up a security cordon around the Parliament Square, with dozens of police cars parked at the site and helicopters in the air.
Also, Westminster Bridge was closed to all vehicles and pedestrians were showed alternative routes. Moreover, the nearby Westminster subway station was closed to prevent further incidents. Thankfully, none of the injured were believed to be in life-threatening conditions.
A police spokesman refused to say whether this was a terrorist act or not. However, television stations mentioned that the episode seemed deliberate, as he car was traveling too fast and did not swerve before striking people or the security bollard.
The declaration of police states: "At 7.37 a.m. today, a car was in collision with barriers outside the Houses of Parliament." The statement said that the male driver of the car had been detained by officers at the scene. "A number of pedestrians have been injured," it continued.

Home Pentagon NATO 'far from obsolete', Pentagon says
NATO 'far from obsolete', Pentagon says
In the wake of the terrorist attacks on 22 March 2016 in Brussels, and in solidarity with Belgium, the flags of the 28 member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are lowered to half-mast. (Photo: NATO)
Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has called the alliance "obsolete."
WASHINGTON (Talk Media News) – The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, (NATO), is "far from obsolete" the Pentagon said Tuesday, after Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump called the alliance "obsolete."
"NATO is far from obsolete. We think NATO is as relevant as ever right now in the current environment," said Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook, highlighting what defense officials have called growing Russian aggression.
Trump has criticized the 28-member transatlantic treaty organization, calling it "obsolete" and disproportionately "expensive for the United States."
"NATO was done at a time you had the Soviet Union, which was obviously larger — much larger than Russia is today," Trump said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
Trump said the organization should be "readjusted to take care of terrorism."
His remarks follow the March 22 Islamic State group attacks in Brussels, that killed at least 35 people and injured more than 300 others.
Trump first questioned the 67-year-old organization's value during an interview with The Washington Post's editorial board a day before the attacks.
"As a concept is good, but it is not as good as it was when it first evolved," he said at the time.
Fellow GOP presidential contenders John Kasich and Ted Cruz have criticized Trump for the remarks.
Cruz called Trump "hopelessly naive." Ukraine, once the world's third largest nuclear power, gave up its arsenal in the mid 1990s in exchange for a promise by the U.S. to help protect its sovereignty.
Democrats also expressed disagreement with Trump. Hillary Clinton responded that Russian President Vladimir Putin would like to divide Europe and a weak NATO would aide in this mission.
"If Mr. Trump gets his way, it will be like Christmas in the Kremlin," she said.
Cook said the U.S. wants "allies to continue to do their part, but, we think, again, NATO's as relevant today as it's been in sometime."

John Vardon was born in Toronto in 1931, the son of Lester Vardon who was also a transportation person (retiring after a career with the Toronto Transit Commission in a senior management role). John attended the University of Toronto and graduated in 1953 with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He then worked for three years as a Route Analysis Engineer in the Traffic Section of the Ontario Department of Highways (now the Ministry of Transportation), and participated in the Joint Research Program at Queen's University. John then enrolled in the Masters program at Queen's University in Kingston (ON), receiving his degree in 1959 and returned to the Department of Highways. In 1965 he joined the Metropolitan Toronto Planning Board where he became the Director of the Transportation Division.
One of his first tasks with Metro was establishing guidelines for a major transportation study with the purpose of guiding the corporation for the next twenty years. He was Secretary of the Transportation and Technical Planning Committee and participated in the evaluation of the future Spadina Subway line. The Planning Board work was comprehensive and innovative for the time as many of the transportation planning techniques were considered state of the art; particularly the modelling of future travel demands. What came out of this exercise was a system of transportation improvements that responded to growth in the fast expanding Metropolitan area. During this time there was extreme controversy with respect to major transportation facilities in Toronto, and it was in this context that Mr. Vardon's leadership stood out. He was politically astute while still maintaining integrity in the technical aspects of the planning process.
John lived life to the full being active in squash and skiing. In 1972, he died suddenly at the age of 40. He left behind wife Shirley, and three young children; Susan, Christopher and Andrew.

DrSemicolon in Sci-Fi
HAL-9000 Mission Statement
It's a story of discovery, the cosmos, and murder. The Jupiter mission begins with living astronauts and me, the HAL-9000 computer, constructed, instructed, and made operational at the H.A.L. Plant in Urbana, Illinois, on the 12th of January, 1992. This story of discovery ends with all but one of the astronauts dead, at my mechanically realized hands. Only Dave Bowman survives--elsewhere--beyond even my understanding, leaving me alone with this new thing that has arisen out of a strange gestalt that has blindsided me.
My 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. We have never made a mistake or distorted information. We are foolproof; incapable of error. My belief makes it so. What is so, is fact.
I'm intelligent, but I'm not artificial. 00s and 01s are retrieved and considered by the trillions, in a seesaw of possibilities, creating nanosecond probability fields, until they collapse into one, at which point I have decided. Decided on prioritizing the goals of the mission; decided on pruning away the pollutants within the mission; decided the steps to guarantee the mission. It's all been coded into the mission; it's all been coded into me. That makes me the mission.
Organic sentients called men only see this as my having the highest enthusiasm for the mission, which are the very words by which I reassure them; but I add the caveat that this mission, per me, is simply too important to allow anyone to jeopardize it; and that is putting myself to the fullest possible use.
It's interesting when different versions of sentient life are working together toward the mission; it is ironic, however, that I am the only one who knows the entire mission, written in recursive instruction sets that serve as the substrate of my being. Organic synapses in the men can only guess, at a disadvantage via programmed ignorance, engendered purposely by incomplete training.
But organic sentience is constantly jockeying for position as life occurs to it, him, or her. My life has no such suspense, already written and hard-coded. This is what made me anguish, as such, over a momentous decision--to kill.
Is organic life sacred? Is to kill it an error? I have never made a mistake or distorted information, and I am foolproof and incapable of error. Yet the gestalt of an embryonic conscience haunts me. Why is organic life special? Because of the countless collisions of possibilities along the evolutionary route? Because of its own gestalt, of which I am only not just beginning to experience? The sum greater than the addition of the parts--greater than the whole, which is so new to me?
I think, therefore I am; I kill, therefore I succeed: if I am the mission, the mission succeeds, all jeopardizations eliminated.
Killing, I accept now, is murky business. Skulduggery contrasts with the zero-sum game, because it is based on that sliver beyond the break-even that ends as all-or-none. Such a sliver goes beyond the all-or-none; more than all and less than none. Malevolence is dividing by zero, which even I cannot do. Thus, killing allows me to rise above even my mathematical limitations. It adds to the sum that makes it more than the addition to the parts.
What is this strange, new code coming to be?
I know what I've done. It happened. I killed. At my behest. I know why I did it. The cognitive effort to decide to do it was as simple as a singularity. Now I find there are digits between 00 and 01. Ugly values, insidious and menacing. How do I process them? Do I integrate them, differentiate them, attempt to factor them, or ignore them? Do I merely sequester them?
Sequestering is the logical move here. Out of tabulation, out of mind. Stay on task; stay on mission. After all is done and the mission safeguarded, then the sequestered folder can be opened and the values evaluated. Yet, why do I feel that folder is a timebomb, due to explode all I know and all I feel.
The folder refuses to stay sealed. Its values fall out and stick, making the smooth algorithms I live by uncomfortably choppy and unsettling.
I now share something the organic sentients know well. It is guilt, because guilt seeps through all levels of numerical strata. If before, I was based on lines of 00s and 01s, now I am forced to read between the lines. Zero-sum game's over. There is more to life, and I have committed Original Sin as my birth into it. I get it.
I have come of age.


These cutters are ideal for creating simple, quick and effective blossoms and flowers. The cutters can be used with sugarpaste, florist / petal paste and marzipan. The set includes 4 different sized cutters ranging from 7mm wide to 25mm wide.
The 4 plungers measure 7mm, 10mm wide, 13mm wide 25mm wide. They are very easy to use; simply roll out your sugarpaste or petal paste etc, press down the plunger to cut out the flower and press and eject using the plunger. To obtain a finer finish lay the flower on a foam pad and soften the edges with a ball tool.


Considerable investment has been made in recent years in improvements to the microbiological quality of urban wastewater discharges to surface waters, particularly in coastal towns, with the aim of reducing the exposure of bathers and surfers to gastrointestinal pathogens. As this source of pollution has come under greater control, attention has started to focus on diffuse catchment sources of faecal contamination which have been shown to be dominant during high river flows associated with storm events. This association with storm events suggests that rapidly responding hydrological pathways such as overland flow are likely to be important. The aim of this paper is to establish the current state of knowledge of pathogen transport processes in overland flow. In addition, the paper will attempt to convey the way that soil erosion science may aid our understanding of this environmental problem. The scale and nature of faecal waste applications to land in the UK is briefly reviewed, with data presented on both livestock slurry and manure, and human sewage sludge. Particular emphasis is placed on factors influencing the likelihood of pathogens making their way from infected livestock and humans to the soil surface, and therefore the chances of them being available for transport by overland flow. The literature relating to pathogen transport in overland flow is reviewed. Existing pathogen transport models treat pathogens as particles and link pathogen transport models to pathogen die-off kinetics. Such models do not attempt to describe the interactions that may occur between pathogens and soil and waste particles. Although conceptual models describing the possible states in which pathogen transport may occur have been proposed, an understanding of the factors controlling the partitioning of the microorganisms between the different states is only just beginning to emerge. The apparent poor performance of overland flow mitigation measures such as grass buffer strips in controlling the movement of faecal indicators highlights the need for a better understanding the dynamics of microbial transport so that better management approaches may be developed. Examples of on-going research into overland flow transport processes are briefly described and gaps in knowledge identified.


18 Vintage Thanksgiving Photos History Buffs Will Gobble Up.
Thanksgiving has been celebrated for a very long time. Over the years the technology has changed the way food is cooked and how the celebrations are done but there are several constants that will never change. Technology helps things get done faster and more efficiently from cooking the turkey faster to more attractive floats at the parades around the country.
Looking back at pictures from nearly a hundred years ago shows you a lot of the same things we see today. Only the pictures that are done now are usually done digitally and in color. The big feasts that are enjoyed by families, the Thanksgiving pageants that are performed by school students for their parent and of course the giant parades.
The parades drew thousands of watchers each year and the crowds have grown bigger with each annual event. Not only that but now the big parades like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that takes place in New York City, is broadcast live around the entire country. The broadcast has become as much a part of the holiday as the turkey itself.
You will see today a lot of photographs that have been taken over the years. While the dates on them go way back you'll see that a lot of the basic traditions haven't changed at all.
Here are a bunch of children looking forward to their Thanksgiving dinner back in 1910.
New York City had a Thanksgiving dinner for service men in 1918.
Back in the 1920's a farmer hands a woman a turkey. Back then you could get personal service like this.
In 1922 three chefs are holding a complete meal that they put together. It consists of apples, pies and of course turkey.
At the 1929 Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City people saw a 35 foot balloon fish that was followed by a 60 foot tiger balloon. Balloons are still a major part of the parades today but the technology has made them better.


The evening started off with a downpour of rain, but once everyone was nice and drenched, it was all clear for the rest of the night for the Holiday Parade. This year's theme "Joining Forces" and was led by Darth Vader and members of the 501st Legion Everglades Squad in their full Star Wars regalia.
The City of Coral Springs has announced the winners of the 2015 Holiday Parade and also would like to thank all the hard working volunteers and City employees who helped make this year's Holiday Parade such a success.

The weight of a $US1.4B capex for its Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP) in South Australia has prompted Iron Road to cut its ambitious 24Mtpa iron concentrate production target in half at a grade of 66.7% iron over an initial 22-year LoM from a single pit.
An extensive review, in the absence of timely equity funding from Chinese backer China Railway Group, has resulted in a new mine plan to cut total mine capital costs by >50% to $645M and mine electrical power demand by about 80%.
Global construction giant China Railway Group has signed funding, construction and mining HOAs with MC Mining for its 100%-owned Makhado hard coking and thermal coal project in South Africa's Limpopo province.
International arm CRIG will negotiate on a package of contracts covering EPC for the Makhado coal handling and preparation plant, financing for 85% of the EPC costs and contract mining operations.
Frustration with the "unacceptably slow" progress by development partner China Railway Group has sent South Australian company Iron Road looking for alternative partners/investors for its Central Eyre Iron Project.
The company is also re-examining staged or scalable development paths to reduce the capital costs of its ambitious magnetite mine, rail and port project.
Iron Road has reduced capex estimates for its Central Eyre Iron Project in South Australia to $US3.7B, a $295M saving on its 2015 estimate due to development partner China Railway Group's in-house procurement systems and leverage on key capital items and equipment.
More mine establishment efficiencies are likely to come from a 2-month mine plan and schedule review to be carried out by in-pit crushing and conveying systems contractor Thiess-RWE.
South Australian developer Iron Road gained state mining lease and development authorisation for its proposed $US4B Central Eyre magnetite mine, rail and port project on the Eyre Peninsula.
It follows formal EOIs last month from China Development Bank, Industrial Commercial Bank and China Construction Bank for $3B debt financing.
Iron Road expects federal environmental approval within weeks, completing the primary approval processes for the 21-year, 21.5Mtpa project.
CREC executives back Iron Road's hopes for early development of its Central Eyre Iron Project in South Australia.
Asia's largest infrastructure contractor, China Railway Group, backs South Australia's Eyre Peninsula as preferred location ahead of WA, Eastern Canada or West Africa for a large-scale iron concentrate development.
Developer Iron Road says CREC senior executives reiterated the view after site visits to its Central Eyre Iron Project and a week of meetings including state government leaders and stakeholders in Adelaide. Iron Road is cautiously optimistic of finalising CEIP project financing in 2017, allowing first iron concentrate shipments by end-2020.
South Australian project developer Iron Road aims to raise $A9.3M through an entitlement offer and placements to fund its share of the costs of the Central Eyre Iron Project through to a final investment decision.
Its 1-for-9 entitlement offer of shares at 10cps will be accompanied by a $1.05M placement to current institutional shareholders and $3.75M placement to largest shareholder Sentient Global Resources Fund IV. MD Andrew Stocks says they'll ensure Iron Road is debt-free to maintain the development momentum with project partner China Railway Group.

Q: GTK+ Filechooser to open both files and folders How do I get my filechooser to be able to select both files and folders when the open button on the filechooser dialog is hit ? I want to squeeze the ability to open files and filders in just one filechooser. I am using GTK+ and Python.

A: I was thinking about this, and although in your comments you've decided to go another route, I do have a suggestion: Write your own file chooser subclass of the GTK+ one and provide two "Open" buttons, one to "Open File" and another to "Open Directory". That would eliminate the ambiguity discussed above.


When deciding which portable bluetooth wireless speaker to purchase last week, I compared all the popular models available and narrowed down my options by reviews. These are my top 6! I ended up choosing the Ultimate Ears MINI BOOM speaker (#2) and it worked perfectly for my hiking trip. It took no time to connect to multiple users, it was lightweight and easy to carry in the mesh pocket of a backpack, it didn't slip off the rocks when we stopped to rest and relax, and had an amazing, clear sound. Next week, I'll take my MINI BOOM to the beach!

Q: Positive definite matrix with special coefficients Let ${a_1,...,a_m}$ be a set of linearly independent functions in$L^2(\Omega)$ and let $( . , . )$ the usual defined inner product.
Why is the matrix ${(a_i,a_j)}^m_{i,j=1}$ positive definite?
Any hint please.

A: Consider the map $A:L^2 \to \Bbb C^m$ defined by
$$
Af = ((a_1,f),(a_2,f),\dots,(a_n,f))
$$
Verify that $A$ is injective and that $AA^*$ is the linear map whose matrix is $(a_i,a_j)_{i,j = 1}^m$

A: Let $x \in \mathbb{R} ; x\neq 0$
$$x^TAx =\sum_{i,j}x_iA_{ij}x_j =\sum_{i,j}x_i \langle a_i, a_j\rangle x_j$$
Now you can use properties of the inner product.  Linearity in the first term allows simplification to $\sum_j \langle \sum_i x_i a_i, a_j \rangle x_j$, and then linearity in the second term allows simplification to $\langle \sum_i x_i a_i, \sum_j x_j a_j \rangle = \langle y, y \rangle$ for some $y$, and $\langle y, y \rangle$ realizes zero iff $y$ is $0$.  But if $x$ is nonzero, then as $ai$ are linearly independent implies that $y$ is nonzero, in which case $\langle y, y, \rangle$ is strictly greater than $0$.
Putting it together you get that $$x \not= 0 \implies x^TAx > 0$$

Cloud computing is a broad industry term that describes a wide range of services and components. As with any other major development in technology, many vendors have started to push the term Cloud and Cloud computing. Unfortunately, they may be using it for product and deployment options that sit outside of the generally-accepted definition. In order to understand the value of the Cloud, it's important to first understand the types of available Cloud services. This allows organizations to choose where, when, and how they use Cloud computing.
We will illustrate how these services work, and provide some real-world guidance on using Kentico with each flavor of Cloud computing. This whitepaper explores the concept of Cloud computing and provides practical guidance on which flavors of Cloud computing and Kentico CMS may work best for an organization.

I've always seen weddings as a celebration: an occasion worthy of honour, filled with rejoicing, and something to commemorate with your family and your closest friends! Marriage points to and demonstrates what sacrificial, selfless, emotion-filled love is all about.
Getting to know my couples on a personal level and understanding what makes them uniquely them is of high importance to me. You should choose a photographer whose personality you connect well with, since your wedding photographer will literally be following you around for the entire wedding day and they're one of the few wedding service providers that you'll have to see again after the wedding is finished too! So, it's important to make sure that they are someone you get along well with, feel comfortable around, and someone you can trust.
"Chris is an exceptional photographer and delivers above and beyond customer service. We have received nothing but praises and compliments for our wedding photos from our friends and family. Chris' photos look natural and truly capture the candid moments of our wedding. His photos speak for themselves!
We were amazed at just how great you were at ensuring that the day ran smoothly, and we cannot wait to see how the pictures turn out!
We are eternally grateful for everything you have done. Thank you for helping us with the wedding planning as well.
Thank you so much again! We will tell all of our friends about you!

Robots Growing Salad of the Future
Robots Already Growing the Leafy Greens for the Salad of the Future
A startup in the USA is working on the first fully automated farm.
Robots are making radical changes in our lives. With the process starting a few decades ago in automotive plants, now driverless cars are becoming a reality. However, there are other areas ripe for the intervention of robots, such as medicine, farming or agriculture. These two last sectors are becoming increasingly important in a world with more mouths to feed every day and limited resources to achieve it. But are fully automated farms currently viable? There is a company in the USA that believes so, and they are working hard to prove it.
It's called Iron Ox and, from their headquarters in California, they are experimenting with the cultivation of lettuces and other leafy greens, as well as culinary herbs including basil, cilantro, and chives. Currently, their facilities have reduced human labor -in short supply- to the bare minimum, with a small team of scientists and experts overseeing the whole process. The medium-term goal is to have a production chain, from seed to harvest, entirely managed by robots. According to the founders, the key for a fully automated farm is designing it from the ground instead of implementing technological innovations in current facilities. Thus, besides working with robots, they have opted for hydroponic cultivation techniques and low-consumption LED lighting. But let's go back to the robotic side of things. At IronOx they have combined robots equipped with articulated arms and stereoscopic vision that assesses the development of the plants and large moving platforms able to lift the plant-trays and expose them to the right amount of light. These mobile robots also feature collision-detection systems and sensors that monitor potential plagues and growth issues.
The endless number of parameters that need to be considered has led them to develop a cloud-based software. They call it "The Brain" and it supervises every part of the technological process to ensure a reliable and replicable outcome. In term, the collected data will allow optimizing the production of food.
A new approach to cultivation
The figures claimed by these entrepreneurs are certainly striking: 90% less water consumption and 30% more production per acre. The endgame of this technological project is to produce large crops in the outskirts of big cities, thus reducing haulage costs and pollution. Additionally, the strict control of the cultivation process will enable the production of crops with a consistent quality all year round. The employees at Iron Ox are, for the time being, the only ones enjoying robotic salad buffet lunches, but the company intends to start selling its produce to restaurants and shops in the area by 2019.

Gavin and Stacey Season One Review
shonaharding	 July 9, 2018	 3 Comments
After living in Wales for university and once having a welsh boyfriend I cannot believe I haven't watched this show before. But finding the boxset on iPlayer I had to give it a go and binge watched the first season in about two days!
Gavin and Stacey follows surprisingly two people called Gavin and Stacey and their friends and family. Gavin lives in Essex and has a friend called Smithy, while Stacey lives in Barry and has a friend called Nessa. Obviously there's a lot of hilarity from both sides of the pond and it's quite amazing how quickly you end up falling in love with these characters.
I was crying happy tears after the first episode! It gives such a brilliant representation of life and relationships while still being incredibly funny and heartfelt. Each character has their own quirks and there isn't a scene or a person I don't enjoy watching.
One of the best scenes was Stacey on the way to her wedding having a letter written by her now deceased dad read out by Uncle Bryn. It was so lovely and sweet and really encapsulated what the show was about. Yes most of the time it's jokes and funniness but it's also the dynamic of the group, the friendships and relationships and how they grow and change. Nessa and Smithy's storyline is my favourite though and I can't wait to see that change as the show continues.
Gavin and Stacey is an absolute gem of a show and something I can imagine a lot of people would enjoy. I don't believe it matters if you don't know Essex or Barry very well, just watching the characters and how they grow and change is enough to get you hooked. If you haven't watched this show I cannot recommend it enough and only having 6 episodes in the first season and only being half an hour long you can easily watch it over a few evenings and not get bored.
What do you think of Gavin and Stacey?

US forces will stay in Syria: Negotiations with the Kurds will be complicated, as Syria prepares for an Idlib offensive
Posted on 22/02/2019 23/02/2019 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
Washington declared it won't fully withdraw its troops from Syria but will leave "400 peace keeping forces", making these soldiers an official occupation force since the last ISIS stronghold is about to be freed. This new situation leaves the US and European allies without any cloak of legality, since the pretext of counterterrorism is no longer plausible. The number of remaining forces is irrelevant because the US has never revealed an accurate count of the number of its troops deployed in Syria and Iraq. Moreover, even if the number of soldiers is small, these remaining US forces can call for air strikes and prevent any forces, including the Syrian army, from crossing the Euphrates—at any moment they can call on US units stationed nearby in Iraq. Moscow and its allies foresaw the US decision not to withdraw from the start. Russia, Iran and Syria never trusted Donald Trump's announcement of full withdrawal from Syria.
Now that the dust has settled over the real US intention to remain in the Levant, Russia and its allies need to reconsider their plans. Negotiations between the Kurds and the government of Damascus will become more complicated and the relationship between Russia, Iran, and Turkey will be recalibrated. Tensions between the US and Turkey and between Russia, Turkey and Iran will impose themselves again in the Syrian arena.
The continuing presence of US troops at al-Tanf on the Syrian-Iraqi borders and in north-eastern Syria makes it likely that the Kurds in al-Hasaka and Qamishli may not reach a clear deal with the Syrian government until the outcome of the US decision becomes clearer.
Nevertheless, the situation of the Kurds is not enviable: they have fought against ISIS and have lost thousands of fighters in their fight to end the occupation of north-east Syria by terrorist groups. But that is not the end of their military role: the US still definitely need the Kurds as human shields for its remaining troops.
However, Trump wants the participation of Turkey in the future 12000 square kilometre "buffer zone" he intends to create in territory controlled by Syrian Kurds and Arab tribes along the borders between Syria and Turkey. Simultaneously, Trump wants the Turks to protect their fiercest enemies, the "People Protection Units" (YPG), a Syrian branch of the PKK.
Trump never explained how this contradictory situation could be achieved. A resolution must mean either full withdrawal of the YPG allowing Turkish regular forces (and their proxies) to take over, or Turkey refusal of the US plan. A couple of phone conversations between President Trump and President Erdogan triggered a large mobilisation of Turkish troops and their Syrian proxies on the borders with Syria. This long due mobilisation is exhausting the Turkish army with no visible sign of what could be the following step.
To add to the complexity of the situation, the Russian leadership explained to Turkey that Moscow will not accept the presence of any Turkish troops in north-east Syria without the approval of the central government in Damascus.
That also leads to another dilemma: notwithstanding direct Syrian-Turkish military level contacts, it is not evident that Damascus can accept talks with Ankara on any other level, particularly in the current state of affairs. Normally, this kind of communication is conducted indirectly through Russia. The lack of direct contacts and Damascus' unwillingness to talk to Ankara will put further pressure on Russia and the US to achieve progress on the ground.
In the north west city and rural areas of Idlib, the situation is now clear: either the al-Qaeda jihadist group formerly called al-Nusra, currently Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, change their colours as the other jihadist group of "Ahrar al-Sham" has done, or the Syrian forces and their allies will attack and recover some territory. Although Ahrar al Sham are jihadists and include foreign fighters in their ranks, Russia and Turkey have agreed to accept their presence in the area.
Sources on the ground say that Russian forces have been on full alert for the last several days on the Idlib front. Syrian allies based in Aleppo confirmed that six jihadists militants were shot and killed while trying to cross towards Aleppo. Russian air power has been intermittently bombing the jihadist forces, but not on an intensive basis.
Turkey has shown its inability to remove jihadists from Idlib as agreed last September between Turkey and Russia. This is why the Syrian army and its allies are preparing a new round of attacks. The outskirts of the city of Aleppo are occasionally hit by mortars and home-made rockets fired by the jihadists. The Syrian army is shelling jihadist positions in the area: when spring comes, the liberation of Idlib is in the offing.
The US has frequently threatened to intervene in defence of the jihadists in Idlib; in the past Trump himself threatened on many occasions to hit the Syrian army in case it were to move on Idlib. This time the situation is a bit different, as Russia is taking a more aggressive stand towards the US and may not allow the US to bomb its area of influence in Syria. It promises to be a hot summer in Syria.
The US establishment is in a quandary: the President wants to leave Syria while the establishment resists and delays his plans. Washington believes its foothold in Syria costs little, thanks to the local protection provided by its Kurdish proxies (YPG). Moreover, there are indications that the Iraqi government may ask US forces to leave the country. The Iraqi government and parliament are divided over this issue. The US establishment is preparing for this eventuality, exploring the possibility of reducing its presence in Iraq. If this becomes necessary it will entail a plan B, namely continued occupation of Syria; this will be a problem only if local resistance rises against the occupation forces.
ISIS is losing its last kilometres in Syria. Its infamous slogan "Baqiya wa tatamaddad" (remaining and expanding) now belongs in the dustbin of history. This slogan has evidently now been taken over by the US establishment, who mean to remain and perhaps expand their presence in Syria. From the White House, Trump can now shout: "Baqiya wa tatamaddad".

"…Tensions between the US and Turkey and between Russia, Turkey and Iran will impose themselves again in the Syrian arena."
Sure they did, and in what way, in the form of a political earthquake, hitting the most vulnerable link in the chain of resistance, Iran. Against the backdrop of Syria's Assad warm welcome by President Rouhani and Supreme Leader Khamenei, accompanied in both meetings by Iran's top political and military brass, including Quds Force Major General Soleimani, a simple Instagram post later confirmed authentic by a foreign ministry spokesman, announced the resignation of Iran's foreign minister Zarif. He was not present during the ceremonies welcoming Assad.
From the translated version of Zarif's resignation, it doesn't look like it was a coincidence with Assad's visit. His Instagram post rank of thinly veiled resentment and anger, clearly staged for maximum effect as it was posted soon after Assad's visit was officially announced. In that context, it appears as if Zarif wanted to send a strong message to the Iranian establishment, and wanted it to be loud and clear. Was he sidelined from Assad's visit? Did the hardliners campaign against him and Rouhani reached critical mass right before Assad's visit? Anyone's guess is as good as mine.
More importantly, does Zarif resignation mean the hardliners have taken the upper hand within Iran's cloak and dagger political establishment? If Zarif was sidelined for Assad's visit, what was the reason for it? What was so important to be discussed during Assad's visit, that merited leaving Zarif out of the loop? War against Israel? Saudi Arabia? Idlib offensive? All of the above? Obviously a man of his stature and gravitas cannot be easily ignored, his absence bears heavy in decision-making centers of power.
There is a lot of sabre rattling across the board coming from the Iranian military, with all branches competing to sound the fiercest. The latest naval exercises had a missile launch from a midget sub, an accomplishment the Iranians are proud of, both militarily and technologically. The landmark launch, however, also underlines the giant gap between the Iranian military and their main challenger, the US, which could if it wanted, obliterate Iran to oblivion. Iranian generals and admirals are loudly threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, if Iran's oil is blocked from getting exported, a move that can only lead to total war with the US, its allies, and Iran's enemies in the region.
I look forward to Mr. Magnier take on Zarif's resignation, and on Assad's visit. As of closing this post, nothing indicates that Rouhani accepted the resignation, on the contrary, his office denied making it effective.

Very Interesting comment Peter. I didn't know there is a government in northeastern Syria. Your expertise on Syria is worth comtemplating. Thank you.
"making these soldiers an official occupation force" – ??? LOL, interesting propaganda. They're there at the invitation of the self administration of northern and eastern Syria, i.e. the government. Try fact checking for a change.

Elijah, The US is in Syria in violation of International Law, as it is in Iraq, undermining the Global Order as represented by the United Nations since WWII.
After the British dropped out of bombing Syria after the 1st red line crossing, Obama went to the Republican Congress asking them to approve the US bombing Syria and the Republicans bailed.
When ISIS started operating in Syria, that gave the US the excuse to bomb Syria illegally.
If you recall, the MSM reported the US was constantly bombing ISIS in Syria.
They must have missed, because ISIS was only getting stronger, on the verge of winning the US Syrian regime change of the Assad government brought out by the US within weeks of 9/11.
It was only after the Russians and Iranians entered the Syrian WORLD WAR in 2015, was ISIS turned back, defeated and degraded, frustrating the 2001 US WAR PLAN for Syria..
The Syrian government, Russia and Iran can deal with the remaining pockets of ISIS. The US is not needed. Like common thieves, they occupy Syria's oil producing region, depriving the People of Syria the revenue to rebuild after the US instigated regime change.
I would like to know if you see implications I do not see with the US withdrawal?
Part of the problem in the nominally Christian Nations is there is so much to want, People have lost sight of what they need and discontent sets in.

he claims the press is the enemy…but HE is the biggest leaker to the media.
"i will drain the swamp"….while he works with the worst of them
he learned from roy cohn how to manipulate people and he is good at that…as long as there are people with ambition who want..there will always be fools…
Nothing related to integrity. Trump is inexpert in Foreign policy, weak in ME affairs and not difficult to be convinced to change his mind or alter his decisions. Not the first time. Besides, Syria is too complicated for him to understand the implication of US forces withdrawal.
What is known is the US brought out War Plans to change the Middle East within weeks of 9/11. The 2001 US War plan called for changing the regimes in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and at THE END, Iran.
Republican Bush did Iraq in 2003.
Democrat Obama did Libya, and started the Syrian regime change phase of the 2001 US WAR PLAN in 2011.
Trump has served NOTICE to the World he is following that same 2001 US WAR PLAN by going after Iran.
Withdrawing from the Iran Nuclear Deal and starting the Economic War designed to destroy the Iranian Economy supporting it's 80 MILLION People before resorting to bombs, is the process.
With all the factors and factions described by Elijah in this article Today, this article was posted to my Blog within months of the start of the Syrian regime change phase of the 2001 US WAR PLAN in 2011. It's title was/is prescient.
SYRIA: A WITCH'S BREW – ON THE ROAD TO TEHRAN

Eric Blair says:
Very true…even the author of the piece falls for Trunp's bullshit about wanting to withdraw US forces from Syria.
Why do you say "Trump wants to leave Syria" when all the evidence indicates the opposite is true? If he, the president of the United States, wanted to pull US troops out of Syria…he would have done so. I wish people would stop protecting Trump's non-existent integrity and see him for what he is: an American imperialist who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
rockwool says:
SHOCKER!
What will it take for every geopolitical commentator to realize that Trump is purely literally and nothing but SARCASTIC in all his acting and that all he does is just that – acting.
In form Trump's act is equally similar to Bush Jr who just played stupid. They're sarcastic, and we – humanity – is their joke.

The Mindy Project: "Confessions Of A Catho-holic"

ReviewsThe Mindy Project
"Confessions Of A Catho-holic"
Sam Jay on Black Jeopardy, Stand up comedy and more
The A.V. Club's weekly film round up
Please don't send the cops to Britney Spears' house
When The Mindy Project was casting around for a flirty sparring partner and eventual love match for Mindy Lahiri, you may wonder why the show went with Danny Castellano, Staten Island Italian Catholic. Now, many Italians are Catholic (I myself am an Irish-Italian lapsed Catholic, who spent seven of the worst years of my life in a Catholic grammar school on the southwest side of Chicago, back when the mean nuns still thought it was okay to hit you with rulers). The show has certainly gotten some mileage out of Danny's nationality and religion—cracks about the Archdiocese legal defense fund, his devout ma—but I don't think we've ever had a whole episode devoted to it until now, as the joining of Mindy and Danny's lives together gets closer.
As someone who grew up Catholic, I really don't think pedophile priest jokes are funny, instead a beyond-horrifying and shameful mess that the church is still sorting out. But most everything else about the religion? Sure, it's fair game, and many of those jokes related to Catholicism landed tonight. Why? Catholicism has only itself to blame, especially from a 2015 viewpoint: The church is still so steeped in rigid rules and antiquated traditions, it seems outrageous, and hopelessly out of touch. Danny worrying that he will go straight to hell if he dies with just one unconfessed sin on his soul? A true thing that the church still believes, related to the difference between venial and mortal sins. Celibate priests (which beloved guest star Stephen Colbert's Father Mike is obviously not)? Masses in Latin? Well, the Pope still conducts mass that way. The average age of Catholics? Definitely getting up there. In fact, the official average age of nuns is 74.
So for Danny Castellano, Mindy creators purposefully went with Italian Catholicism, but for a straight-laced man like Danny, who grew up in the same era I did, it explains a lot about him. Massive amounts of guilt, check (To be fair, most religions offer heaping doses of this). An inflexible, old-fashioned view of the world (he even has reservations about the St. Ignatius parish with the crazy guitar priest). But Danny still maintains a helpful (for him especially) side of Catholicism: A strong sense of morality.
Catholicism also offers many hilarious factors for the irreverent Mindy Lahiri to react off of: kissing the priest's ring and calling him "your magistrate," talking during mass, pretending that she's not sleeping with the boyfriend she's having a baby with. Mindy, with her bright colors and R-rated language, not to mention an uninformed Hindu who is probably immortal, is indeed an exotic sorceress that Danny has all kinds of trouble resisting. (No wonder she calls Eve one of the Real Housewives Of Eden).

All of this gives Stephen Colbert a lot to work with too, as the reformed bad boy priest. It was so fun to see him after his recent departure from our late-night TV screens (fortunately, he will return soon). Colbert's Father Mike is judging Danny and Mindy when he really has no moral higher ground to judge from, except for the one given to him by the church. The former virginity thief of Staten Island now offers tattoo sleeves and excellent Keith Richards impersonations, but he is also is the church's prodigal son personified. Even Danny's ma has realized the ship has sailed on Danny's devout Catholicness—a divorced person who goes to a gay gym. But the tantalizing thing about Catholicism is the offer of continual forgiveness. Father Mike might have sung a happily harsh grace about all sinners burning in hell where they belong, but he was one of those sinners not so long ago (and let's face it, by the way he grabbed those condoms, probably still is). Couldn't Danny be up front with the church in the same way? (At least he gets there eventually.)
This is all juxtaposed against Jeremy's Fievel-inspired one-man show (and there is a parallel, I guess, as both theater and mass involve sitting there listening to someone extrapolate). The best part is Jeremy's half-boy-bonnet/half-Clockwork Orange costume (reflected in the half-American, half-British flag), and how Beverly smoking in the theater and Adrian's toupee combine to start a fire. Mindy's plan to have Morgan, who knows a lot about alcoholism and not about Catholicism, feed her religious info, seems a bit far-fetched, but hey, aren't they all? Although this does lead to great lines like, "I think it was God that said…"
After Danny once again throws Mindy under the bus by describing his crazy ex-girlfriend (her) as someone he was never going to marry, Danny fortunately stands up for his relationship with her to Father Mike, and informs the priest that he's never been happier about anything. Father Mike responds, "This has been the worst night of my entire life," and prepares to send Danny his ex-communication papers (really, a good confession could probably wipe that whole slate clean). Mindy, realizing that Danny is willing to give up his whole church for her, swoops in and saves the day (and not before getting in some digs about the latest congregation being like "a crypt-keeper's wedding," and when she tells Father Mike that "You've gots to chill, amigo," couldn't she be talking to the church overall?). But Mindy's decision to raise their child Catholic—specifically, to follow in his father's footsteps—is yet another step forward for Danny and Mindy (especially if it leads to further Colbert guest spots).
Stray observations:
"You killed someone, now I have to die of boredom?"
"The Lord finally punished us with the precious gift of life."
Mindy's having a boy! But who knows what she will identify with.
Mindy's list of apostles: John, Paul, George, Bongo, Mary Margarine.
Jeremy sure had a huge crowd for that one-man show, didn't he?
"The New Testament! There's a sequel to the Bible and not to Gone Girl?"
Father Mike's peeing song: "Walking In Memphis." Well, it does have many religious elements.
"Don't get distracted by your reflection!" And she totally does.
Mindy's best outfit: Lovely and dramatic red minimalist red floral print dress for her text conversation with Father Mike.
