Q: c++11 specefic overload of << operator For an assignment, i have to code a matrix class following some clear instructions. One of the instructions is overloading the << operator , so that we can read the values this exact way for a matrix m :
m << 1,2,3,4,5,6;

i tried looking into functions with variable parameters , but then i saw that i can't overload the operator with a variable number of parameters.
i tried looking in std::initializer_list , using some reference code from cpp reference
std::vector<float> mat;

Mat<M,N>& operator<<(std::initializer_list<float> l)
{
    this->mat.insert(this->mat.begin(),l.begin(),l.end());

    return *this;
}

so my question is, what class/type of parameters can i use to achieve this, the options that i thought of did not work , or maybe i did not use them the right way.
thank you very much.
EDIT :
After the great answer from @bames53 i tried to incorporate and it works just great !

A: << has higher precedence than , so what your expression m << 1,2,3,4,5,6 does is:
((((((m << 1), 2), 3), 4), 5), 6)

In other words you need m << 1 to return an object representing the operation of having read in 1 and which is prepared to read in 2. This sort of thing is often done with something called 'expression templates' though in your case you don't really need templates.
Your usage will have one difference in that you do need to modify the object as you go along, whereas the usual expression templates operate lazily, waiting until their object is converted to the final result type before actually doing the work.
#include <iostream>

// a type to do something with
struct M { int i; };

// a type to represent the operations
struct Input_operation { M &m; int count; };

Input_operation operator << (M &m, int i) {
  m.i = i;
  return {m, 1};
}

Input_operation operator , (Input_operation op, int i) {
  op.m.i += i;
  op.count++;
  return op;
}

int main() {
  M m;
  m << 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6;
  std::cout << m.i << '\n';
}


Felipe "Phil" Flores and Samantha Harer pose in a photo posted on Harer's Facebook page.
Will County investigators search through the apartment belonging to Samantha Harer on Feb. 13, 2018, after she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Channahon.
Crest Hill Police Officer Felipe "Phil" Flores still is not back at work after the death of his girlfriend was ruled a suicide last month.
Samantha Harer, 23, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in her Channahon apartment Feb. 13 of last year. Flores, her boyfriend at the time, was the only other person in the apartment with her.
After a 10-month investigation, the Will County Coroner's Office ruled Harer's death a suicide. Flores was put on paid administrative leave throughout the investigation.
He earned $79,877.84 between Feb. 1 and Jan. 1, according to Crest Hill Police Department records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
On Dec. 28, the day the coroner's office announced its ruling on Harer's death, Crest Hill Police Chief Ed Clark put out a news release saying Flores would return to administrative police duties now that the death investigation was completed. Clark said Flores would return to work after a fitness for duty evaluation and an internal investigation to determine if any department policies were violated.
On Tuesday, Clark said the internal investigation still was ongoing but Flores had not returned to work yet. He cited ongoing litigation, referring to a lawsuit filed by Harer's parents against Flores, the Channahon Police Department and Crest Hill Police Department over their daughter's death as a reason for Flores not yet returning to work. Paul Ciolino, a spokesman for Harer's parents, said the lawsuit was dropped shortly after it was filed.
This wasn't the first time Flores had been taken out of the line of duty. He was suspended for 30 days as a result of an incident in March 2016 in which he drove while under the influence of alcohol and violated department policies with conduct "unbecoming of a member of this department," according to Crest Hill police documents.

Ok, so now I am sure it looks like I am obsessed with tacos, which I assure you I am not. However, Rachael Ray is the self professed "Burger Queen" so who knows, maybe I will be come the "Taco Queen". Seriously anything you put into a burger you could put into a taco. Both are nice hand held food options. Anything that reduces the amount of dishes to wash is alright by me. But I leave the grilling to Kevin so burgers he does, taco's I can do.
I hope you give this recipe a try. Oh and make sure you save your extra Tzatziki sause. It is awesome with veggies for a snack! If you don't want leftover sauce, just cut the recipe in half, but we always love leftovers. Try using the Tzatziki in the place of mayo on sandwiches too!
If you can't find Greek yogurt strained plain yogurt can be substituted.
Thanks Nancy I will try to come up with some new ones!

Pastor Paula White-Cain, spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, speaks at the White House on the National Day of Prayer, May 4, 2017. | (Photo: White House/Screengrab)
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jonathan Cain, who is releasing a new book talking about his journey to faith, has said that his wife, Pastor Paula White, who serves as President Donald Trump's spiritual adviser, is doing her best to "take care of his soul."
"She's been called upon, I believe, good or bad. She's been called by the Kingdom to serve. She is letting grace in the door in Washington and I've seen it, uttering the name of Jesus Christ on the mall of Washington. It's amazing," Cain said in an interview with the Tennessean, published on Monday.
"We have to understand that Paula's there to minister to the president and to pray over him. She's the one he trusts for prayer and she prays over him. And, she brings mighty men of God to pray. Who are we to say the president doesn't need prayer?" he positioned.
Cain explained that White is "doing the best she can do and taking care of his [Trump's] soul."
"Not his politics. Not his rhetoric. His soul. If he leans on her for that, that's a good thing. That is a really good thing. She brings prayer into the White House. I think it's remarkable. I applaud her tenacity and it hasn't been easy watching her get yanked around by the swamp and yet she prevails. She'll overcome," he continued.

Cain, who in a January 2017 interview with The Christian Post explained that he dabbled with spiritual music writing throughout his decades-long music career, describes the rise of rock band Journey's success in the new memoir Don't Stop Believin', titled after the popular classic hit.
He told the Tennessean that White, who he married following two divorces, helped bring him back to his Christian faith after several ups and downs in his life.
"What I was missing was the Word. Paula brought me back to scripture and the Gospel. I think that was the difference for me where we weren't so biblically trained," the musician said.
"I think if I had one thing to do over again, I would have put God first in a lot of those instances. I seem to have got offline with God."
Talking more about his wife, who preaches at New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, Cain positioned that the "greatest thing" about her is that she "loves me as a man and she listens to my heart."
"It's the first time I've had a woman really understand my heart. But she didn't pastor me. I didn't get pastored by Paula. She let other men of faith pray for me. She took me to Africa and they prayed over us," he shared.
"God just put us together. He always had this plan for us, and He has a sense of humor, amen, because He goes, 'The kid that wanted to be a priest ended up marrying a preacher. That's perfect. That's what I'm designing for you.'"
White has meanwhile defended Trump's faith on several occasions, and in an interview with "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel in December 2017 said that the president has put Christmas, Jesus Christ, and prayer back in the White House.
"It is so vitally important — first off, it's personal to him. He's a man of faith, he is a believer. He's spiritual. I've known him for over 17 years," she said at the time of his faith.
"It guides him, it leads him, and one of the things that I love about President Trump is that he is not afraid to take those steps that might be unpopular with other people," she added.
White has attracted some controversy, such as for comments on her website earlier this year encouraging believers to donate a "first fruits" offering of up to their entire month's salary in January to enjoy "blessings" for the rest of the year.
A spokesman for White later clarified that she was speaking "of her personal, longtime commitment to 'put God first at the beginning of a new year' and as part of that commitment she has often donated her entire January salary to charity in gratitude to God for his blessings."
The statement adds that White is not insisting that believers must donate their entire monthly salary to her ministry.

"Communion" raps it up!
Communion, also known as Alvaro Vega, is a really good lyricist. His flow is practiced and moves quickly, without sacrificing diction, and he seems to have a lot of fun rhyming more than just the last syllables of a verse. I believe in Jesus who frees us from all diseases, The One who came to teach us the love thy neighbor thesis "I Believe" doesn't over-do anything. The arrangement is simple, with a piano, synth, and drum kit, and could easily be played during a service. This is fitting for an artist who is also training to be a priest. Communion offers his talent up to God, using his gift of music to evangelize youth communities of Miami and Weston with an accessible hip-hop sound.
Scoring Goals to Saving Souls!
The former Northern Ireland footballer Philip Mulryne has been ordained a Roman Catholic priest in the Dominican Order. Father Mulryne, who is reported to have once earned £600,000 a year, has also taken a vow of poverty. Philip Mulryne prostrate as he was ordained a priest in Dublin on Saturday. He was ordained in Dublin on Saturday by Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia, who had travelled from Rome for the ceremony. Fr Mulryne had been ordained a deacon in October last year.

This is the Calandra Racing Concepts 1/12 Lola B10 Black Art Body in Clear Lexan. The Lola B10 is very similar to the TS030 (CLN4172) body but does not feature the center spline in the back. The result is a slightly more "free" feel with the car because there is less rear downforce. This makes the Lola B10 great for slower tracks, stock racing and circuits with more turns.

Hunger, Nutrition & Food
OPINION: Hunger and Poverty in India: What is it like amidst COVID-19?
India has been a developing country for over a decade now. And, the country has definitely developed. In the last three years, India pulled 75 million people out of poverty; in the last ten years, the number rises to an impressive 271 million people. However, poverty is still a significant issue in the country. In 2019, Oxfam reported that over 14% of the Indian population lives in poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened the economy and living situations for Indian citizens.
Bringing experiences of Indians to the forefront, T. Mukherjee spoke to numerous citizens from different backgrounds. One of the interviewees was from the city of Jamshedpur, home to the Tata steel mills. Talking about her experience with poverty and COVID-19, she stated about her husband's salon and how he was the sole earner of the family. He had a strong client base and never faced any problems with finding work. With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting the country severely in early 2020, he started losing out on clients and eventually, there came a point when he would have no clients at all. Their savings got used up in a matter of weeks. Frustrated, he would cry every night. Finally, unable to bear this feeling anymore, one morning he heads to his salon and commits suicide. This is not just an isolated incident.
On the outskirts of Mumbai, another interviewee talks about how the finances of their family were affected so severely that they could have only one meal a day. "We ate only one meal a day. If we ate in the morning, then we wouldn't eat at night. Or if we ate at night, then we wouldn't eat in the morning." Yet another interviewee in the nation's capital, New Delhi recalls losing out on work because of the pandemic, "I used to work in five to six houses. After the lockdown, no one's ready to hire me. Everyone's saying, because of COVID, we wouldn't give you work."
Under the Disaster Management Act, the Indian Government is capable of taking various measures to provide its citizens relief during the COVID-19 pandemic; measures that include providing moratorium against bank loans, which just happened for a period of 6 months and did not continue afterwards, leading to an increased number of suicides in the country, poverty, etc. The government also stated that they invested INR 200,000 crores in the economy of the country. However, how successful this investment was is debatable because the condition of Indian citizens has not improved.
This is not the world we want. India needs to work harder to meet UN SDGs 1, 2 and 3: No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Wellbeing.
There is no doubt that the country has grown over the years and that the Indian economy has improved. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges for both, the economy and the citizens of the country; challenges that have not been successfully addressed and resolved yet.

Army General Joseph Votel, who oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East, says deployment appears to be a Russian effort to help shield Iranian and Syrian "nefarious activities" • Israel will overcome challenges posed by the S-300, Israeli minister says.
A senior U.S. general on Thursday sharply criticized Russia's deployment of the S-300 surface-to-air missile system in Syria, saying it was a needless escalation and a knee-jerk response to last month's downing of a Russian military aircraft there.
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered two strikes on Syria since taking office last year in response to the Syrian regime's alleged use of chemical weapons in the country's civil war.
Israel's air raids in Syria are needed to foil deployments and arms transfers by Iran or Lebanon's Hezbollah terrorist organization, both allies of Damascus.
Moscow said on Tuesday that it had delivered the S-300 systems to Syria following a decision it took after accusing Israel of being responsible for the downing of a Russian spy plane by Syrian forces as they fired on attacking Israeli jets in September.
At the same time, Steinitz acknowledged that the technology controlling the S-300 systems was decades old, having been first developed in the 1970s. He said Israel would continue its campaign against Iran in Syria and would overcome the challenges posed by the S-300 defenses.
Minister of Regional Cooperation Tzachi Hanegbi on Wednesday downplayed the impact of the S-300, saying that Israel's stealth fighters could defeat the new upgraded system and possibly destroy it on the ground.
"Our forces here have been operating under a latent anti-air threat for some time and we will continue to do so," he said. The United States has been ramping up its rhetoric against Iran in recent weeks as it tightens sanctions against the country after pulling out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran.

Our aim was to raise $21,000, to unlock the maximum value offered by a core of very generous matching donors. Their promise to multiply our donations a whopping five times meant that the moment we reached our target, our funds swelled to $105,000. But the donations kept coming, with our givenow.com.au/australia21 thermometer overflowing to $26,026.
So the total raised through our EOFY appeal was $110,026.
"The success of our campaign is very gratifying, and will enable us to plan the year ahead with confidence and to continue contributing to evidence-based policy on key social issues," said Paul Barratt, Chair of Australia21.
The outcome shows vision and hope: Australia CAN tackle difficult problems and find innovative solutions that are fair, sustainable and inclusive.
Thanks to your generosity, we're fired up to deliver a suite of projects over the coming financial year – and we assure you, Australia21 will be stretching every last dollar to get the greatest value possible out of it.

The debut feature of writer-director Harrison Atkins, "Lace Crater" is a charmingly lo-fi, supernatural comedy-drama about an awkward twenty-something beginning to undergo some strange physical changes after a weekend tryst with a ghost.
The official synopsis reads: "All Ruth wanted was to get away for the weekend. Escaping to the Hamptons with friends after a bad breakup, she finds an unexpected connection with Michael, a stranger who shows up in her room one boozy night. They have great chemistry, and she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him. There's only one problem: Michael's a ghost, and a one night stand with him leaves Ruth with aftereffects that can only be described as supernatural. As she suffers through mucous-laden night sweats, glitchy hallucinations, and the occasional tar-black ooze, her friends become too disgusted to support her. Ruth must figure out for herself if she can reintegrate into society – or if she even wants to."
The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival later today. Watch the new teaser trailer above.

Book review: 'Exercised' explores evolution of physical activity
Nancy Gilson
Special to The Columbus Dispatch
One of the first things that Harvard University professor Daniel E. Lieberman points out in his new book, "Exercised," is the double meaning of the word. Not only does it connote volunteer physical activity, but as an adjective, "exercised" suggests being vexed, worried, anxious or harassed.
And therein lies the problem with exercise. Most of us just don't like doing it.
Lieberman pursues a double course in "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding," which will be released Tuesday. The professor of biological sciences and human evolutionary biology presents an in-depth look at how humans evolved from hunter-gatherers who didn't have to think twice about getting enough exercise, to those of us who have to push ourselves away from our couches and devices. The portions of the book devoted to biology and evolution can be a bit of a slog, although Lieberman often introduces them nicely with anecdotes.
His look at "strength through the ages," for example, begins with the story of one Angelo Siciliano, a young, skinny Italian immigrant who in the early 1900s had sand kicked in his face at Coney Island in New York. Resolving to build up his physique, Angelo experimented with what we now call isometric training. Eventually, as a friend told him, he looked like the "statue of Atlas atop the Atlas Hotel." Charles Atlas was born.
Throughout his book, Lieberman discusses the origins of exercise, a modern pursuit. In the 1700s, Samuel Johnson didn't consider the words "play" and "exercise" worthy to be included in his dictionary. Although children have always played and sports have been a "human universal," exercise outside the context of sports was extremely rare until relatively recently, Lieberman writes.
He considers various contemporary forms of exercise and their benefits: running (which he does), walking, dancing, weight training, games and even cage fighting. He drops in on a Swedish company in Stockholm whose CEO mandates a weekly "sports hour" to be participated in by all employees.
He describes the benefits of activity as one ages and as one faces disease.
His primary thesis — that exercise is indeed good for you — comes with an important caveat. It must be enjoyable.
The paradox, he writes, "is that our bodies never evolved to function optimally without lifelong physical activity but our minds never evolved to get us moving unless it is necessary, pleasurable or otherwise rewarding."
Exercise, he writes, should be social. "None of us is an island when it comes to health. Our well-being is interconnected … Make exercise necessary and fun. Do mostly cardio, but also some weights. Some is better than none. Keep it up as you age."
One suspects that Lieberman would be pleased to have you put down his book and go for a run.

Massive Growth for Indie SFX as 'A Sound Effect' Turns Three and Celebrates with up to 80% Off Sale
500 new unique and targeted sound libraries added since last year for content creators seeking the freshest sounds on the planet
By Highrez
Copenhagen, Denmark, November 20th, 2016 – A Sound Effect, the community-based, sound effects (SFX) online marketplace, turns three this week, and celebrates with the biggest sale in the site's history, with several hundred sound effects libraries on sale at up to 80% off. Independent sound effects are booming, and there are now more than 1400 individual sound effects libraries available in the carefully-curated collection on A Sound Effect. They cover everything from exotic bugs to drainpipes and everything in between.
Sound has never been more important when it comes to grabbing the attention of today's gamers, and film/TV audiences. The unique collections at A Sound Effect offer a focused alternative to conventional, cover-it-all sound libraries allowing editors to buy smaller, targeted libraries, as they need them.
"A Sound Effect is an amazing resource for sound designers worldwide. To have so many different sound libraries available, with recordings from all over the world, including sounds you might have never thought of, is just fantastic," said Craig Henighan, sound designer, supervising sound editor, and sound re-recording mixer for films and shows such as Stranger Things, Mother!,Deadpool, and Black Swan. "Asbjoern is constantly updating the site with fresh and interesting sounds, so it's always fun and inspiring for me to look through the website."
Founded by composer and producer Asbjoern Andersen, A Sound Effect was created as a one-stop-shop for the many and varied high-quality libraries that were previously only available to those lucky enough to be able to find them.
"The A Sound Effect marketplace bridges the gap between creative people who are looking for unique sounds to differentiate their project and those creating sounds every day," says Andersen. "There's no need to pay for a big library full of sounds you don't need. If you just need the sound of old radios, then why pay for more gunshots, whooshes and car-bys?"
A Sound Effect has also teamed up with independent sound effects creator Sampletraxx to offer an exclusive collection of 62 premium sound effects – this collection comes free with any purchase from A Sound Effect.
The sale runs from November 20th till November 27th, and covers Black Friday and Cyber Monday as well.
A Sound Effect offers a single, simple license agreement for all the independent sound libraries on the site. This means that users are always covered by the same, clear agreement no matter how many individual designers they purchase sounds from.

It is important to select a right car for teenagers, which will give safety and happiness when they are improving there driving skills. Some tips that will help to selecting a car for teenagers are mentioned below.
Teenagers having very excitement of driving. At the same time they are interested to drive fastly. They don't care about the results of fast driving and overtaking. They are just started the driving. They don't have a capability of controlling car in some particular cases. So it is better to take mid to large sized car instead of small car. Because they can't control the small cars in particular situations. So selecting a car for teenagers size matters a lot.
We need to think more about security when you are looking a car for teenagers. Try to choose the car which is having more security features like front and side air bags and also anti lock break system. Some cars also having the feature electronic stability control. This will also gives security for your teen driver. And now a days due to technology improvements many advanced security systems are available. Some security systems will remind you about the seat belt wearing. And coming to the size mid sized sedans are best ones for teenagers.
some vehicles having high horse power, which will tempt teens to drive fast. So better to avoid that high horse power cars. Choose the cars which is having standard horse power.
New cars are having safety features as compared to older ones. Because in old cars air bags options are not there. And don't think that used car will come for a low price. Even though it is low in price it is not secure for teens. They don't have a controlling capacity. Don't go for a car which is having 10 years old. In new cars advanced crash control systems are there. That will give safety when something went to wrong.
Take a test drive whether it is a old car or new car. Because by taking test drive you can come to know about the practical experience. How you are turning, and how the braking system is working. And also this will help you to deciding of the size of the car.
The above mentioned points will help you when you are looking for a car for your teens.

EFF Special Advisor Cory Doctorow keynotes the virtual track at DEFCON 29 with "Privacy Without Monopoly," a speech adapted from the EFF white-paper co-authored with Bennett Cyphers.
Governments around the world (US, UK, EU) are planning to force interoperability on the biggest tech platforms. Companies like Facebook say that this is a privacy disaster because it would hurt their ability to keep us safe from privacy invasions. Yeah, I know. But even if you DO think Facebook has our best interests at heart, monopoly is a deeply stupid way protect privacy. I will present "Privacy Without Monopoly," a major EFF white paper I co-authored with Bennett Cyphers, which sets out a framework for understanding how privacy and interop aren't just compatible - they rely on one another!

Washington State Capitol Building in Olympia. File photo
WA State Legislature
Homelessness, guns among 2020 legislative priorities
WA lawmakers examine issues heading into 60-day session.
by Aaron Kunkler
Friday, January 10, 2020 12:29pm
NewsNorthwest
The Washington state Legislature will try to address homelessness, the climate crisis and gun violence this session, but per usual the fight over funding will likely be front and center.
During the AP Legislative preview Jan. 9, state lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee walked through some of their priorities this session. One of the biggest items was a discussion about the governor's proposed budget, which included $146 million in the 2019-2021 cycle. In total, it asked for more than $300 million over three years. Inslee proposed the state tap into its $2.5 billion emergency ("rainy day") fund.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig (D-Spokane) said he likely didn't have the votes to approve using the rainy day fund. Sen. Patty Kuderer (D-Bellevue) said the emergency fund was created for emergencies like the homelessness crisis.
Sen. Hans Zeiger (R-Puyallup) said the state should be looking to fund homelessness responses with its surplus instead. Other conservative lawmakers echoed similar ideas.
Inslee said using the fund makes sense because the level of homelessness is a crisis. It would also let the state take action without raising new revenue.
"I think this would be better than an additional tax increase," Inslee said.
Inslee said he wasn't as worried about where the money came from as long as it was approved.
There were also differing ideas on how best to address homelessness. Rep. Nicole Macri (D-Seattle) said having a stable place to live is what ends homelessness, and she supported building more housing and removing barriers that prevent people from getting housing. She said more services are needed.
"We know that building housing alone does not address homelessness," Macri said.
Diversion programs and direct assistance to struggling people, as well as support for the disabled and elderly, were cited as examples of needed services. Kuderer pointed to other protections such as a proposed just-cause eviction bill she is sponsoring. In contrast, Zeiger said after passing stronger tenant protections last year, the state should wait to see how it plays out before introducing new laws.
Zeiger supported increasing diversion and assistance programs, which could help provide funds to people for rental assistance and other programs. He additionally supported creating city-based employment programs for homeless adults.
"For those who want to work but have found barriers to employment, we need to make opportunities available," he said.
Rep. Morgan Irwin (R-Enumclaw) also works as a Seattle police officer. His approach to homelessness included enforcing laws. Politicians refuse to use the "stick behind the carrot" when addressing homelessness, he said. Republicans could additionally strap conditions onto the funding, such as barring it from being spent on safe injection sites, Irwin said. Irwin said safe injection sites would likely be hard to approve, and that restrictions on allowing sleeping near the entrances to government buildings could be another condition.
Macri said she thinks the safe injection site discussion is used as a distraction for other issues. Instead, the state should be looking at ways to provide long-term recovery and support for people.
On guns, Democrats seemed more cautious. House Speaker-designate Laurie Jinkins (D-Tacoma) said she would focus on making existing laws work better, like enforcing background checks. Billig and Jinkins both said they would need to caucus to discuss high-capacity magazine and assault weapons sales bans. Both bills have been requested by the Attorney General's office.
Both Senate Republican leader Mark Schoesler (R-Ritzville) and House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox (R-Yelm) said they would oppose new firearms restrictions. Schoesler said it wasn't gun safety that Democrats wanted, but gun control and gun seizure. Wilcox said proposed firearm restrictions wouldn't be supported by the state constitution.
When asked about climate change, neither Jinkins nor Billig could give specific policies they hope to see pass this session. Inslee said this session's focus should be on tackling transportation sector emissions. Last session, the Legislature set a goal of converting the state's energy grid to 100% carbon-free sources by 2045.

Did you ever heard about the art of layering?! Take a dress, a stretchy, mid- lenght slip dress. Simple, but sooooo sexyyyyy…!!! Even if you have a perfect body, and you really are conscious about it, you can' t feel exactly comfortable going around with it! But, I swear, a similar dress is a jolly in our wardrobe! Just add a long lightweight cardigan on it, play with accessories and shoes, to understand how a slip dress can be a winner for every occasion! This is layering: literally arranging somethig in layers, playing and mixing clothings and accessories. Just follow your mood to create your own style!
Lately this is one of my fave combo to wear!

Hitman dev's James Bond game won't feature a movie actor, 'could be a trilogy'
IO discusses 007 deal and reveals rights holder didn't think previous games were 'worthy'
26th Jan 2021 / 2:13 pm
Hitman developer IO Interactive has revealed more details on its plans for a James Bond video game project, revealing that it won't lean on any of the existing 007 actors.
IO's Project James Bond was announced via a short CGI trailer in November. The game was described as a "wholly original" Bond story that will be powered by IO's Glacier technology and release for consoles and PC.
Speaking in a new interview with Danish publication DR, studio head Hakan Abrak revealed new details on the Bond project, including further confirmation that it will not be based on any of the 24 films that have been released over the last 60 years.
According to Abrak, IO intends to build a James Bond universe from scratch: "We have been allowed to make our own digital Bond, which will not lean on a Bond actor," he said. "We also came up with a completely original story, and you could easily imagine that a trilogy could come out of it."
The studio head also revealed details on how the deal came about. Abrak said IO had been working on a Bond pitch for almost two years, and eventually presented it to 007 producer Barbara Broccoli in London last year.
Broccoli is the owner of Eon Productions, the British production company that makes the James Bond films. As such, she has final say on any deal involving the fictional super spy.
According to Abrak, Broccoli had sworn that 007 would not appear in another video game because she did not feel that previous games were "worthy enough" and that it was "violence for the sake of violence".
"At the beginning of the meeting she had a very expressionless face, but the further into the meeting we came, she bled up and started smiling," he said. "One could see that the younger members of the family lit up when they saw that she was reacting.
"Our story, our background with the Hitman universe and our vision of what Bond is in a game format, went straight to the heart of Barbara Broccoli herself."
The IO boss said the studio hopes to double its employees to 400 for the Bond project, which will be partly developed by its new Swedish studio based in Malmö.
According to the project's official website, IO Interactive is currently recruiting "elite talent" to join the team. At the time of publishing, it's advertising for more than 20 roles, including for technical director, lead game designer and executive producer.

Agent 47 aims for a happy ending - and several skulls - in his best missions yet
IO Interactive's title will be the first major Bond game release since 2012's 007 Legends, which was developed by Eurocom and published by Activision.
MGM's Robert Marick said of the game deal last year: "James Bond has a strong legacy in the video game space, with some of the most iconic games of all-time based on the character.
"Working with our partners at EON and the talented team at IO Interactive, we plan to bring a new take on this legendary franchise to gamers and Bond fans around the world. IO Interactive are masters of crafting living, breathing worlds of immersive storytelling."

There are two ways to bring your little one into the world. One would be through a normal vaginal delivery and the other one is by caesarean. There are a lot of reasons why mothers opt for a caesarean: it could be because of medical difficulties hindering the natural birth process or simply because you're scared of the idea of vaginal delivery. It is entirely your decision which procedure to opt for. However, in situations where the delivery is required to take place as soon as possible due to a threat to your life or the life of your child, an emergency C-section is done.
The process is the same as a caesarean delivery, except much faster. The first step is always the signing of the consent form, either by you or by your companion. This makes the procedure legally valid.
You'll be injected with either spinal anaesthesia, where you can be awake during the surgery, or general anaesthesia, where you'll be unconscious throughout the procedure. In case of spinal anaesthesia, you would have a screen covering your view, so you don't panic at the sight of the incision being made in your stomach. You wouldn't feel any pain in both cases, just a slight movement near the stomach when your baby is being lifted out.
The procedure is almost the same in every hospital you go to. You'll be required to be subject to a blood test and given a medicine that will help reduce the acidity in your stomach. Before the surgery, you would have to change into a maternal gown and possible even undergo a bikini shave to remove the hair in the pubic area. As expected, all forms of jewellery and ornaments would be removed from your body. In most cases, the father or one person is allowed to enter the operation theatre with you and the procedure starts with the administering of the anaesthesia.
You would be left with a 4-6 inch scar on your belly after the process. The tiny stitch takes about half an hour to conduct properly. Once your baby is out of the womb, there is almost always a few minutes of physical contact with the mother or your companion in the operation theatre. In some cases, immediate breastfeeding is done. The pediatrician will then examine your baby to see if they are as healthy as they're supposed to be.
You would be moved out of the operation theatre into a recovery room. After a post delivery check up, if everything checks out, you could be discharged as fast as the day after the delivery as some women do prefer to recover at home. The movement is also beneficial in preventing blood clots from forming. Else, you would be asked to stay for 3-4 days after the delivery. You would be provided with painkillers to make the post delivery recovery as smooth as possible.

[OBG] Nature of Race Full
2015-Jul-08, 02:22:31
(2015-Jul-08, 01:07:59)Krom Wrote: But even if what you are saying is true, as I showed: these races were originally thought as having major differences between them rather than showing trivial intergroup variation (in terms of averages).
Did you not like my discussion in Box 3.1?
Quote: ...These subspecies and races as constant varieties were originally understood in contrast to the species realists' species. They were seen as superficial cuts of biological variation as compared to the realists' species, which, conceived as independent creations, were thought to sever biological nature at its joints. A collection of early definitions are listed below...
As for the other stuff. So, for example:
Buffon (1749): "Those of Formosa, and the Mariana islands, resemble each other in size, vigour, and features, and seem to form a race distinct from that of every other people around them…In Ceylon there is a species of savages, who are called Bedas; they occupy a small district on the north part of the island, and seem to be of a peculiar race…in the island of Mindoro, which is not far from Manilla, there is a race of men called Manghians, who have all tails of [four to five inches], and some of these men had even embraced the Catholic faith."
Blumenbach (1795): "Some races of Ethiopians are found with long hair: other copper-coloured nations again with curly hair"; "nations preserve their peculiar stature when they mingle least with the immigrants and strangers of other races."

Viareggio is a town located in Tuscany and it is the main city of the Tuscan Riviera called Versilia. The carnival in Viareggio was first celebrated in 1873, when a group of nobles decided to start a parade of carriages in the city. The parade became so successful in attracting everybody that, the year after, the carriages of nobles were placed side by side with agricultural ones. After World War I (WWI), the Carnival in Viareggio started to be celebrated again in 1921. The WWII stopped again the celebration of the carnival, but after the end of the war and the reconstruction of Viareggio, the event was restored. In the late 1960's, appeared for the first time the political satire, which until now characterizes this satirical carnival. Nowadays, the figures on the carriages are made of paper mache (papier-mâché). In 2001, a new area for making the "masked carriages", inside the Cittadella, was inaugurated. The carriages are located in hangars that can be visited all year long, not only for carnival. The square outside the hangars is also used for concerts and various events, such as the Festival of Gaber (named after the famous Italian singer and actor, Giorgio Gaber, 1939–2003). This year the Carnival of Viareggio takes place from the 3rd of February until the 3rd of March.
Ivrea is a small town of almost 25 thousand inhabitants in the province of Turin, in the region called Piemonte. The carnival of Ivrea is usually referred to as "historical" for its link with history. In fact, in the Middle Ages, the city was subjected to Lord Ranieri of Biandrate, who imposed very high taxes on the population. So, the people rebelled against the tyrant and destroyed his castle for the first time in 1194. The story repeated itself with Lord William VII of Monferrato, and the people destroyed the castle for the second time in 1266. To symbolize this fight for freedom, the Battle of the Oranges takes place nowadays. It is the most spectacular event of the carnival. In the battle, people standing on carriages represent the soldiers of the Tyrant, and the teams of pedestrian "orange-throwers" represent the rebelling inhabitants. The two teams throw oranges against each other and may also involve spectators that do not wear the Phrygian cap, symbol of freedom and pursuing of liberty. The legend surrounding the Carnival of Ivrea tells that in order to exercise his "ius primae noctis" —i.e. his right to sleep with a bride the first night after her wedding— with Violetta, a local miller's daughter, the Tyrant of the city ordered her to go to his castle. The newly-wed woman went to the castle hiding a knife within her hair, with which she killed the Tyrant. She soon became the symbol of the people's rebellion against the taxes on wedding and wheat. Nowadays, the Battle of the Oranges, taking place on Shrove Tuesday, signifies the end of the carnival, and the best "orange-throwers" both on foot and on carriage are nominated.
Putignano is a small town and a well-known holiday resort in the south of Italy, in the region called Apulia. The Carnival of Putignano dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Knights of Malta brought to Italy the relics of Saint Stephen. Putignano was chosen as the locality for this relic translation. After the religious procession to accompany the Saint's relics to the church, the farmers abandoned themselves to dancing and singing, making jokes and reciting poems and satires. This was the origin of the "Propaggini", a feast, where several poets in farmers' clothes declaim poems and satires in the local dialect. Technically, the carnival here starts on the 26th of December, when the city gives as a present to the church a candle for having their sins to be committed during carnival forgiven. In the evening, the "Propaggini" takes place. In the months following this event, several celebrations happen, such as the "Feast of the Bear" (Italian: la Festa dell'orso) on the 2nd of February and the parades of allegorical carriages around the town. The carnival ends on Shrove Tuesday with the Funeral of the Carnival. In this last parade, a funeral cortège proceeds along the streets holding a pig made up with paper-mache, which represents carnival and its excesses. The pig is burnt in the main square of the city as a purification rite. The last minutes of Carnival's life are beat by a huge bell also made up with paper-mache and called "Campana dei Maccheroni". In these last moments visitors and inhabitants meet here once again to dance and sing before a glass of wine and a plate of pasta waiting for the day to come to a close.
Enjoy the wonderful Italy during Carnival, book your accommodation and visit these beautiful places!

BEAUFORT, NC (WITN) - A coastal community has recently joined a state program to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safer while out enjoying the town.
The announcement was made on Wednesday that the town of Beaufort would be the latest community to take part in the Governor's Highway Safety Program called "Watch for me NC."
The program is centered around education, making sure all parties involved know and follow the rules of the road.
It encourages safety for pedestrians and bicyclists while also making sure that drivers know to be on the look out for them.
David Cartier with Hungry Town Tours said, "People are very friendly and they are very caring and do look out for bikes and pedestrians but i think this will take it up a notch."
That extra focus on safety is coming as Beaufort joins the "Watch for me NC Program."
Town officials are excited about taking part in the program and say this follows in line with their goal of making Beaufort more walkable and bikeable.
Beaufort Police Chief Paul Burdette said, "Essentially it's an educational campaign that towns and communities can join and engage with their community and bring forth both pedestrian and bicycle safety measures."
Local business owners, who take customers on bike tours, say they hope this will keep everyone safer while out walking or riding.
The next step for the town will be for three of Beaufort's police officers to attend training. After that, the town will have a planning and action meeting.

Seafarers-FAQs - IRI | International Registries, Inc.
FAQs on the Application of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) Manila Amendments and the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) to the offshore industry.
Who is required to possess STCW documentation?
The STCW requires deck and engineer officers, radio operators, and ratings as defined in Regulation I/1 of the STCW Convention, as amended, to possess STCW documentation. This includes officers and seafarers fulfilling capacities indicated on the Minimum Safe Manning Certificate (MSMC). The IMO recommends that other members of the maritime crew, including the Offshore Installation Manager (OIM), barge supervisor, ballast control operator, and maintenance supervisor receive STCW equivalent training, and keep that documentation in their possession. All maritime crew on active service who must comply with the STCW requirements, as amended by the Manila Amendments, must be in possession of a valid STCW Certificate covering the functions performed on board. (Reference: IMO Assembly Resolution A.1079(28); MI-118, Requirements for Seafarer Certification, §4.1.1).
Can non-ship (non-STCW-certificated) personnel apply for a Seafarer's Identification and Record Book (SIRB)?
Yes; however, the RMI Maritime Administrator (the "Administrator") does not generally issue seafarer documentation to industrial personnel. Individuals who are required on the MSMC but are not STCW-qualified, such as survival craft/rescue boat crew, must be issued seafarer documentation, including an SIRB and related SQCs. If such crew are not qualified for STCW Basic Safety Training and Security Awareness, the SIRB will be limited to MOUs or passenger vessels, as appropriate. (Reference: MI-118, §4.1.1).
Can non-ship (non-STCW-certificated) personnel receive a Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats (PSCRB) other than Fast Rescue Boat SQC?
The SQC can be issued upon receipt of evidence the person has received STCW PSCRB training, offshore lifeboatman training, or coxswain training. The SQC will be limited to MOU use only if he/she is not qualified for STCW Basic Safety Training and Security Awareness.
Can non-ship (non-STCW-certificated) personnel serve as survival craft crew members with the certification outlined in Question 3 above?
Yes, they will be fully qualified to serve as survival craft crew members. Please note that all officers and able seafarers (including MOU-only use as well) on board MOUs are required to be trained in PSCRB, and are therefore qualified to serve as survival craft crew members.
Will electricians who are entitled Electro-Technical Officer (ETO) or Electro-Technical Ratings (ETR) need to comply with STCW?
The Manila Amendments added new ETO and ETR endorsements to STCW, and require officers serving as ETO or Electrical Engineer to hold ETO certifications. ETRs are also required to hold an ETR qualification. Only those personnel who are part of the maritime crew on board an offshore installation and serving as ETO or Electrical Engineer are required to provide documentary evidence that he/she is qualified as an ETO or ETR, if that is the capacity in which they serve. (Reference: MI-118, §2.1.19 and §2.1.20, STCW Regulations III/6 and III/7).
Will ETOs and ETRs who are part of the maritime crew be required to possess RMI certification?
RMI ETO and ETR certification is optional. However, if RMI ETO or ETR certification is not possessed, please see answer 5 above. (Reference: MI-118, §3.3.7 and §5.9.2.9, STCW Regulations III/6 and III/7).
Will ETO, ETR, and electrician capacities appear on an MSMC?
No. ETOs and ETRs are not manning requirements. In addition, MSMCs are for watchstanding personnel responsible for the safe navigation and operation of the vessel. ETO and ETR capacities are not usually engaged in these types of watchstanding duties. (Reference: STCW Regulations III/6 and III/7).
Who is required to be qualified for High Voltage (HV) Systems (in excess of 1,000 volts) and if they are not, what will be the Administrator's course of action?
STCW requires that engineering officers be qualified in HV systems if they are employed upon vessels with HV installations. If an engineering officer is not qualified as such, there will be a limitation to vessels not equipped with HV systems on his/her Certificate of Competence (CoC). That limitation will be carried over onto their RMI endorsement. CoCs that have an expiration date after 01 January 2017 and do not have the limitation will provide the evidence that the officer is qualified in HV systems. (Reference: STCW, Part A, Tables A-III/1, III/2, III/3, and III/6).
Who is required to have security awareness training and does the training have to be approved?
Any seafarer who will receive STCW certification of any kind is required to have security awareness training. Any such training must be in compliance with STCW requirements, and there must be evidence that the training has been approved as such by an administration. (Reference: MI-118, §4.1.4.2 and §5.22.1; STCW A-VI/ §6.5 and §.9).
What is the difference between security familiarization and security awareness training?
Security familiarization is a new requirement for all persons in compliance with the provisions of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and will usually include measures to take in the event of piracy or an armed robbery threat or attack. The security familiarization is specific to the vessel's Ship Security Plan (SSP).
Security awareness training is generic in nature, usually done shore side or by computer based training (CBT), and required by STCW for seafarers receiving STCW certifications. (Reference: MI-118, §4.1.4.2 and §5.22.1; STCW Regulation VI/6, A-VI/6.1~6.3, A-VI/6.6~6.8).
Are cooks required to be certificated by the Administrator?
No. The SQC for cooks and other galley personnel is optional. The requirement is that they be properly trained. Note that the SQC of cooks who have been issued RMI documentation as cook or chief cook will provide documentary evidence that the cook has been trained in accordance with the MLC, 2006 training requirements. (Reference: MLC, 2006 §3.2).
What training is required for cooks?
The MLC, 2006 requires that all cooks with responsibility for food preparation be trained and qualified for their position on board the ship. Anyone who handles food (such as servers, steward utility personnel, etc.) must be trained or instructed in food, personal hygiene, galley sanitation, and handling and storage of food on board. Cooks involved in food preparation, handling of food, and/or the maintenance of food service areas must have successfully completed an approved training course that covers practical cookery, nutrition, food and personal hygiene, food storage, stock control and environmental protection, and catering health and safety, in compliance with the provisions of Regulation 3.2 of MLC, 2006. (Reference: MLC, 2006 §3.2, MI-118 §5.23, and RMI MN-7-044-1, §15.3.3 and §15.3.4).
