Help Us Transform and Encourage Lives of Recovery by Participating in the Extraordinary Give
Nov 14, 2019 | Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Events, General, Recovery
It's been an exciting year for The GateHouse.
Not only did we open a brand-new facility in Marietta, we hosted the U.S. Labor Secretary for a roundtable discussion on the opioid crisis, and we launched a new, user-friendly website!
As exciting as all of this is, none of it would have been possible without your help and support and the help and support of the recovery community and the community at large. We want to encourage you to continue supporting us by using Friday, Nov. 22 as the day to show your appreciation for the people who work at The GateHouse and the lives that have been transformed. That's the date of the Extarordinary Give, an annual day of giving sponsored by the Lancaster County Community Foundation.
The ExtraGive is a day where people across Lancaster County come together to financially support the causes they care about. It's a day when nonprofits of every stripe encourage their supporters to open their hearts and help them raise money for the important work they do.
Last year, The GateHouse raised more than $34,000—crushing the previous year's fund-raising effort by a wide margin. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, and this wonderful show of support solidified our resolve and validated the work our team is doing to restore the human spirit through recovery.
This year, we hope to build on that success and raise even more money to help those afflicted by the disease of addiction. And we'll have some help! Every dollar you donate to The GateHouse will be STRETCHED by more than $500,000 thanks to the generosity of Rodgers & Associates, the High Foundation, and numerous other community sponsors.
Please take a moment to check out our donation page at ExtraGive.org. The best part about giving to The GateHouse this year is you get something back for your contribution.
Not only is your Extraordinary Give donation tax-deductible, you will also have your name or the name of a loved one etched into the history of our organization at Riverview Tower, our newest location.
While we appreciate contributions of any size, by becoming a Memorial Donor, your gift to The GateHouse comes with an enduring permanence. Please take a look at our Memorial Donor levels for more information and to see which one appeals to you.
Can you tell our Finance Director is excited about the the Extraordinary Give?
You might be wondering how we'll be using your contributions to The GateHouse and what purpose our fund-raising efforts will serve. We're happy to say that money raised through the Extraordinary Give will go towards the efforts to one day offer residential recovery services to women who live with their children. It's a big step for us and we hope you'll help us realize this vision.
The GateHouse is also taking part in The Extraordinary Experience event on Nov. 22 at the Holiday Inn of Lancaster. This event will feature our organization along with about 20 other nonprofits from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Each organization will offer their own "experience" to those in attendance. Our Experience will be to "spend 5 to 10 minutes in private with a drug and alcohol professional to ask anything you wish!"
Other experiences include repelling down the side of the Holiday Inn, show-tune karaoke, music and entertainment, food, fun, and more!
Please join us for this extraordinary event!
Remember, when giving through ExtraGive website, be sure to include your email so we can follow-up and collect information for the donor memorial.
As always, thank you for your support!

The Pre-Richmond Power Ranking
Posted on April 17, 2021 by Owen Stewart
The pre-Richmond power ranking for the NASCAR Cup Series is out just before the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway on Sunday afternoon.
The streak of different winners has finally ended with the Cup Series at the second short track of the season at Martinsville. Martin Truex Jr. took advantage of a late pit-road penalty for Ryan Blaney to secure his second win of the year. Truex's victory stopped a string of seven straight unique winners to start the 2021 season and is now the first Cup driver with multiple wins.
Truex's second win brought about some debate for the top spot in these rankings. In the end, it wasn't quite enough for me to bump him ahead of a certain Joe Gibbs Racing teammate.
The Cup Series now heads to Richmond for the final track of the east coast short track swing.
1. Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 3rd
Though he is somehow still without a win, Hamlin just continues to pull away at the top of the points standings. Another top-five at Martinsville gives Hamlin an unprecedented seven in just eight races. He now has a 76 point edge over teammate Martin Truex Jr. for the top spot. This string of good runs also ensures that Hamlin will continue to start near the front of the field each week. Hamlin gets another chance at his home track in Richmond.
2. Martin Truex Jr. (Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 1st
After seven straight races with different winners, Truex became the first driver to pick up a second win with an incredible drive in the final stage at Martinsville. Truex continues to avenge the short-track demons that plagued him early in his career. He has become a threat to win every time the series heads to Martinsville. The track may carry the Truex name for all his success there.
3. Kyle Larson (Hendrick Motorsports No. 5)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 5th
At a track that is traditionally one of Larson's worst, the Hendrick driver put together an impressive run to grab his fourth top-five finish of the season, the second-most in the series behind only Denny Hamlin. In a year where expectations for the No. 5 were a little bit up in the air, Larson sits fourth in points and has finished top-ten in all but two races so far. With another short track coming up next week, Richmond will provide another interesting test.
4. Joey Logano (Team Penske No. 22)
Logano had one of the fastest cars on track for most of Sunday's race but wasn't quite able to squeak into the top-five. Aside from a poor run at Homestead, Logano is extremely consistent in the early stages of the season. He sits third in points behind only Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. The key for Logano is his ability to stay out of trouble. He's completed all but two laps to this point in the season.
5. William Byron (Hendrick Motorsports No. 24)
After Martinsville Byron adds to his typically strong performances with another top-five run on Sunday. The No. 24 is one of the biggest surprises of the campaign after a somewhat underwhelming 2020 season. Byron already has his win to lock himself into the playoffs and sits sixth in points. Byron and crew chief Rudy Fugle seem to be forming a tremendous connection, which may lead to a deep playoff run.
6. Ryan Blaney (Team Penske No. 12)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 11th
An unfortunate pit road penalty during the final stage essentially ended any chance Blaney had to pick up his second victory of the season. The positives of the race still far outweighed the negatives. Blaney looks like a far more consistent driver this season, especially following a race in which he swept the two stages and led over 150 laps. The No. 12 is no longer an afterthought with Team Penske, and Blaney appears to be creeping into championship contender status.
7. Chase Elliott (Hendrick Motorsports No. 9)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 2nd
Any time a defending champion goes an extended period of time into the season without a victory, the idea of a post-championship slump comes into mind. Though Elliott hasn't taken a checkered flag in 2021, he has still run relatively well most weekends, including at Martinsville. Elliott made a late charge in the closing laps and may have passed eventual winner Martin Truex, if not for an extended battle with Denny Hamlin. The No. 9 should find victory lane soon, but likely not next week at Richmond, which is traditionally one of Elliott's worst tracks.
8. Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing No. 4)
Harvick again makes the best out of a pretty poor situation at Martinsville, similar to most of his other races this season. The Stewart-Haas crew continues to struggle a little bit in the early weeks of the season, but Harvick is the only one who is running competitively out of the team's four cars. Though it seems Harvick went a lap down early in the race on Sunday, he was able to battle back for a top-ten finish to at least grab some solid points.
9. Brad Keselowski (Team Penske No. 2)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 33rd
In the first two stages, Keselowski was able to hang around in the back half of the top ten. By the end of the last stage, he was further back in the pack. This caused Keselowski to get stacked up in the massive accident with just over 100 laps to go, ending his day early. It is a disappointing result for a driver with two wins at the track. His performance early in the season is well enough that one poor race won't hurt extensively.
10. Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18)
Busch's race at Martinsville was eventful. He spun out about midway through the race but was able to pull a savvy move to stay on the lead lap. Later, Busch tangled with Chris Buescher to trigger a parking lot-style accident on the back straightaway. Despite the craziness that unfolded for the team of the No. 18, Busch was able to bring home a top-ten finish. It is a solid result, even if the process wasn't all positive.
11. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (JTG Daugherty Racing No. 47)
With a 15th place finish at Martinsville, Stenhouse continues what is an incredible run of consistent finishes through eight races. Stenhouse hasn't finished worse than 18th in any race this season and is continuing to climb the points standings, all the way up to 13th. In addition to Stenhouse's encouraging performances, JTG Daugherty as a whole appears to perform well very quickly this season. It's starting to look like a real possibility that the No. 47 will be in the playoffs, even without a win.
12. Christopher Bell (Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20)
Martinsville didn't bring anything flashy for Bell, but he was able to run pretty well and stay inside the top-ten for the majority of the race while leading nine laps. Bell seems to be stabilizing right around the tenth-12th range in the season standings, a comfortable place to be with the playoffs in mind. Another win or two could very much be in the cards for the JGR driver.
13. Chris Buescher (Roush-Fenway Racing No. 17)
Even while being one of the main perpetrators in the wreck that took out several drivers at Martinsville, Buescher was able to continue through the damage and bring home another solid finish. Buescher is one of 2021's most impressive drivers to this point, with the Daytona 500 as his only finish outside of the top-20. He'll have another chance at a short track at Richmond this Sunday to continue his hot streak.
14. Austin Dillon (Richard Childress Racing No. 3)
Dillon was able to finish inside the top-15 at Martinsville essentially just by staying out of trouble, picking up another 23 points, and keeping pace in the standings. Through eight races, Dillon sits 11th in the standings, as he continues to build on the momentum he generated late in the 2020 season. Dillon ran very well at Richmond in last fall's playoff, so the upcoming race will be a nice measuring stick for where he stacks up.
15. Alex Bowman (Hendrick Motorsports No. 48)
Like a couple of other drivers in the series, Bowman probably wishes he had a golden horseshoe on him. In four out of the eight races thus far (Daytona, Las Vegas, Bristol Dirt, and Martinsville), Bowman has dealt with issues that have taken him out of contention. It is a rough start to the season for the No. 48 team, as Bowman hasn't been able to take advantage of a consistently fast car.
16. Kurt Busch (Chip Ganassi Racing No. 1)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 21st
After two consecutive top-ten finishes at the Daytona Road Course and Homestead, it appeared as if Busch was going to build some serious momentum in the opening weeks. Since then, however, Busch hasn't finished better than the 15th spot. That rough patch continued at Martinsville, with Busch being caught up in a couple of incidents and finishing two laps down. Currently sitting 15th in points, the next few weeks could be crucial in determining the team's outlook for the rest of the season.
17. Tyler Reddick (Richard Childress Racing No. 8)
Through eight races, Reddick is having a very all-or-nothing season. Reddick has recorded three top-ten finishes, including in each of the past two races, but his other five finishes have all been 22nd or worse. If he can iron out some of the inconsistencies that have plagued him so far, Reddick could find himself back into the playoff picture soon.
18. Daniel Suarez (Trackhouse Racing No. 99)
Blue Emu 500 Result: 32nd
After his incredible run at the Bristol Dirt track, Suarez was involved in the late wreck at Martinsville, claiming his car and ending his day a little early. Even with a poor finishing result, Suarez's speed over the past few weeks seems to gradually improve. Trackhouse Racing has put together an impressive program in the team's debut season, and if not for the wreck, Suarez looks to be in line for another top-20 finish.
19. Matt DiBenedetto (Wood Brothers Racing No. 21)
Following an extremely rough first three races, it has been an uphill climb for DiBenedetto and his Wood Brothers Racing team. While DiBenedetto hasn't finished in the top ten quite yet, he has been able to put together five consecutive finishes of 16th or better, including a 12th place run on Sunday. That run allows DiBenedetto to gain twelve spots in the standings, and his momentum is continuing to trend upwards.
20. Bubba Wallace (23XI Racing No. 23)
There's something about Wallace and finishing 16th. The No. 23 has finished with the same result in three of the past four races, with a 27th place finish at Bristol Dirt being the only exception. That being said, Wallace is keeping the car out of trouble and putting together some solid runs for his new 23XI racing team, which is an encouraging sign for the weeks ahead.
BEST OF THE REST
21. Ryan Newman (Roush-Fenway Racing No. 6)
22. Michael McDowell (Front Row Motorsports No. 34)
23. Aric Almirola (Stewart-Haas Racing No. 10)
24. Erik Jones (Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43)
25. Cole Custer (Stewart-Haas Racing No. 41)
26. Ryan Preece (JTG Daugherty Racing No. 37)
27. Chase Briscoe (Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14)
28. Ross Chastain (Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42)
29. Justin Haley (Spire Motorsports No. 77)
30. Quin Houff (StarCom Racing No. 00)

Q: SelectedItem в ListView Добрый день, есть коллекция которая заполняется из базы MySQL:
while (contains_result.Read())
{
    ItemsForContains.Add(
    new Contains()
    {
        CId = contains_result["id"].ToString(),
        ProfId = contains_result["profId"].ToString()
    });
}

Класс со свойствами:
public class Contains : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private string _cid;
    private string _groupid;

    public string CId
    {
        get { return _cid; }
        set { if (_cid != value) { _cid = value; RaisePropertyChanged(); } }
    }
    public string GroupId
    {
        get { return _groupid; }
        set { if (_groupid != value) { _groupid = value; RaisePropertyChanged(); } }
    }

    protected void RaisePropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null) =>
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
}

Все это дело привязано к ListView (ItemsSource).
Я пытаюсь сделать что-бы при клике по одной из строк ListView мне к примеру выдавало MessageBox с данными именно той строки, на которую кликнул.
Делаю вот так:
Привязка к SelectedItem в ListView:
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItemsContains}"

SelectedItemsContains:
private Contains _SelectedItemsContains;
public Contains SelectedItemsContains
{
    get { return _SelectedItemsContains; }
    set
    {
        _SelectedItemsContains = value; RaisePropertyChanged();
    }
}
protected void RaisePropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null) =>
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

Ну и само событие на клик:
private void editProf_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(SelectedItemsContains.CId);
}

Выводит "Ссылка на объект не указывает на экземпляр объекта.", а если добавляю в метод editProf_MouseLeftButtonUp строку SelectedItemsContains = new Contains(); ошибка пропадает, но выводит просто пустой MessageBox

A: Дело в том, что первый клик лишь только выделяет элемент, а вот второй клик по этому же элементу должен выдавать информацию. Поэтому нужно проверять на null, а потом уж выводить.
private void editProf_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    if (SelectedItemsContains != null)
    MessageBox.Show(SelectedItemsContains.CId);
}

Book Review: SMALLBONE DECEASED (1950) by Michael Gilbert
The most celebrated of Michael Gilbert's mysteries, and deservedly so, 1950's Smallbone Deceased offers a wonderful ant's-nest look into a firm of solicitors who find an unwanted corpse among the office paperwork. Specifically, the body of Marcus Smallbone is discovered stuffed into an air-tight deed box, and it is left to Inspector Hazlerigg to determine not only who killed and hid the trustee but also when the murder took place. Fortunately, the Inspector has an ally on the inside: Henry Bohun, a newly hired lawyer with enough autonomy and intelligence to follow his own paths of investigation. It is an effective pairing, a nice balance of official policing and amateur sleuthing with both figures thoughtful and intuitive; it creates a respectful equality that doesn't usually occur in the pages of mystery fiction, where the amateur so often shows the professional the error of his ways.
Featured in his fun genre overview The Story of Classic Crime in 100 Books, GAD historian Martin Edwards writes that Smallbone Deceased is "packed with incidental pleasures," and I completely agree. There is much to enjoy in this well-plotted story, and Gilbert proves to be very adept at wry characterization. Told through an understatedly humorous third-person narration, the author sketches his cast of partners and secretaries with singular and observant details. We meet the rotund, approachable Mr. Craine; the petty, dyspeptic and insecure Mr. Birley; Mr. Horniman Junior, reluctantly assuming the mantle he inherited from his beloved father, Mr. Horniman Senior; pleased-with-himself office wit John Cove; and the four secretaries, Misses Bellbas, Cornel, Mildmay, and Chittering, each with their respective strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, the underpinning psychology of these characters feels truthful – part of what an actor would call his or her character's "given circumstances" – from Bob Horniman's antipathy to follow in his father's celebrated footsteps to one lonely secretary's dalliance with an office employee.
The mystery at heart is a good one, smartly clued and one that becomes more immediate and intricate when a second after-hours murder occurs. There are only two minor points that briefly pulled me out of the story. (Do note that neither point detracts too much from an otherwise highly satisfying reading experience.)
First, for a tale that builds its world so realistically, the set-piece of the novel is an office deed box so large that a small adult body can be contorted and pushed inside. It is also, we are told, one that can be hermetically sealed. I don't doubt that Michael Gilbert, a solicitor himself, knows whereof he writes, but surely an office box of that size (and one that a secretary at one point is said to move and use as a stepladder) would resemble at best a small trunk or, if elongated with multiples stacked upright, the drawers of a morgue. That's a lot of space for a lone client's paperwork storage. Still, as the vaudevillians have said and as I have written before regarding implausible details in mystery fiction: you buy the premise, you buy the bit.
The second niggling detail only arrives at the mystery's solution. While Barzun and Taylor, in their Catalogue of Crime, praise the "two splendid murders" and assert that "the motives are good," I would humbly submit that one motive is good – with a hiding-in-plain-sight clue that is quite masterful – while the other came as a surprise, almost to the point of being an explanatory afterthought. It invited me to return to what I knew about that character (in a story that handles character psychology so efficiently and successfully) to see if I might have arrived at the motive before it was stated. And the verdict was… kind of, but not really. It presumes a rationale for murder where one generally wouldn't be, and Gilbert seems to be aware of this: he even has his amateur detective Henry Bohun state that "the real reason, the inner reason for [the crime] I don't suppose we shall ever know."
If you have not yet read Smallbone Deceased, don't let my magnification of the sole two sticking points (for me) deter you from sampling a wonderful workplace mystery. Characterization, tone, and plot support one another to create an excellent reading experience.

Book Review: DEATH IN CAPTIVITY (1952) by Michael Gilbert
Michael Gilbert is in that group of celebrated classic crime authors whose names I have known for decades, but of whose books I have inexplicably not read more than one or two. (R. Austin Freeman, Michael Innes, Ellery Queen, and Margaret Millar also belong to that unjustly neglected group.) So when Reading the Detectives over at Goodreads chose as one of its March reads Death in Captivity, Gilbert's 1952 novel of murder occurring within a prisoner-of-war camp, I was grateful for the opportunity to be (re)introduced to the author and his straightforward style of storytelling.
Northern Italy, 1943: a camp holding Allied officers runs on routine, while in other parts of the world the war rages on. A mix of British, Scottish, and American military men cook, fraternize, play rugby, and even rehearse for a tongue-in-cheek production of The Barretts of Wimpole Street. Although the armed sentries and the Carabinieri largely leave their prisoners alone, the men also recognize that Fascist campo leader Captain Benucci could be a dangerous and deadly adversary if provoked. So it falls to Colonel Baird, acting in concert with the other imprisoned commanders and some hand-picked officers, to make sure that their plans for an escape tunnel beneath the large iron stove of Hut C are carried out quickly, quietly, and undetected.
But the project encounters one very messy obstacle: the body of Cyriakos Coutoulos, an unpopular soldier and suspected informant, is discovered at the tunnel's end, buried in sand from a structure collapse. Reluctant to bring the escape tunnel to their Italian captors' attention – but knowing that Coutoulos must be found soon and in similar circumstances to avoid complications – the dead man is secretly transferred to another hut where a second tunnel had been started and aborted. When Captain Benucci focuses his suspicions on Captain Roger Byfold as the killer, it falls to Henry "Cuckoo" Goyles to assume the role of amateur detective under very nontraditional circumstances.
Part locked-room mystery, part wartime escape drama, Death in Captivity is a thoroughly enjoyable tale, nicely plotted and smartly paced. In his informative introduction to the British Library Crime Classics edition, author Martin Edwards reminds us that Michael Gilbert was himself a prisoner of war, and that the author dedicates this book to two fellow escapees with whom he traversed the Italian countryside towards the front line.
There are a number of surprises to be found in the story, not least of which is the unusual and unique setting for this murder mystery.
A captured officer camp surely holds amenities and carries a sense of laissez-faire not afforded to troop prisoners; it took me a few chapters to acclimate to the relative independence and limited supervision of our group of heroes. But that liberty is needed narratively for the men to execute long-term escape plans, and such afforded respect is in keeping with the uncertainty of the situation. The fortunes of war may change, and those in power will need to plead mercy before their one-time captives. It is also likely true-to-life, as the author had first-hand experience of the Italian camp at Fontanellato.
My sole criticism is that the cast of characters has a largely physical and ideological sameness. Some officers are older, some younger, and nationalities and ranks differ, but they are cut from the same sober-minded, stiff-upper-lip cloth, and none really stand out as individual personalities. Still, the situation alone encourages more than enough sympathy for the prisoners' plight, and we find ourselves rooting for the mild but mindful Goyles to arrive at light at the end of the tunnel, both literally and figuratively, by finding freedom and solving the mystery. The officers may be allowed certain amenities, but their efforts to escape and survive are clearly a matter of life and death.
Also published as The Danger Within, it looks like I come late to the review party! You can find astute critiques of Death in Captivity from TomCat at Beneath the Stains of Time, Tracy at Bitter Tea and Mystery, Sergio at Tipping My Fedora, Kate at crossexaminingcrime, and The Puzzle Doctor at In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel.

PewDiePie Describes Animal Crossing: New Horizons as "Stressful" and Here's Why
While many collectively agree how Animal Crossing: New Horizons has brought them the relaxation and calmness they need— it seems like it's not always the case, at least to YouTube superstar Pewdiepie.
He shared his thoughts over the most talked-about game in a recent upload, which came off rather surprising.
Fun and Relaxing, Until It's Not
In his YouTube video uploaded last April 15, Pewds was playing the game due to a friend's recommendation. His wife, Marzia, is also revealed to have been playing the game for quite a while now.
Although the YouTuber was getting the hang of the hyped Switch title, he began to share his honest thoughts on the game:
"When Jack [Jacksepticeye] told me about this game, he was like, 'Oh, Animal Crossing, you should play it. It's so fun and relaxing.' No it's not!"
Contrary to popular belief, Pewdiepie believes Animal Crossing can be a source of stress.
Liar, Liar
To Pewds, anyone who claims Animal Crossing is "relaxing" can be considered as a liar.
The talked-about game has been met with praise and hype across online communities. In fact, Animal Crossing: New Horizons dominated the gaming conversations on Twitter in the second half of March 2020.
The social media platform saw a 71% increase in gaming conversation which the title is partly to thank for.
Animal Crossing has been branded as the relaxing game everyone needs to play amid the pandemic, but Pewdiepie believes otherwise:
"The game has mortgages and it has stock markets."
He explained before turning his focus back to the turnip game.
Infamous Easter Event
And since he played the title recently, Pewds was automatically made a part of the on-going Easter event.
"And don't even get me started on the stress with Easter…"
"Imagine you're playing an RPG and you're trying to level up. But all of a sudden the game introduces RPG Easter Mode and then everything that gets you experience points are cut in half because instead you get eggs."
The game's Easter Celebration or "Bunny Day" is notoriously a stressful event for many members of the gaming community.
Some are outraged by the number of eggs they were getting, until the event ended (for good) on April 12.
A+ Game
According to Metacritic, New Horizons has been met with good reviews from fans. It has a total rating of 91 and 102 reviews so far.
The game also sold like hotcakes in many countries including Japan, where it officially became the country's fastest-selling Switch title. ACNH's success beat the likes of iconic game Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Suffice to say, Pewdiepie seemed to at least enjoy his time playing Animal Crossing even with the stress of the stock market, mortgages c/o Tom Nook, and the never-ending eggs.
He also visited Marzia's beautiful island, much to the awe of many fans:
"the fact that you're sitting here playing animal crossing with your wife, is honestly the most wholesome thing i've seen. im so happy for u guys"
"This was the cutest thing and really brightened up my day. Marzia's island is literally amazing and no, I don't think she cheated, she's just really invested in it and good at decorating!"
"Felix n Marzia playing animal crossing together is the cutest thing I've seen in a while"
If that isn't Relationship Goals, we don't know what is!

Breastfeeding policy is tainted by bias
Hundreds of women are venting their fury on my Facebook page. Why? It isn't merely because I have spent World Breastfeeding Week 2018 challenging their cherished belief in the perfection of breastfeeding. It's because I'm raising doubt about their conviction in their own minds.
Nearly all of the touted benefits of breastfeeding are based on predictions made by extrapolating from small studies. The predictions often take the form of how many lives would be preserved, how many cases of serious illness would be averted and how many healthcare dollars would be saved if only the breastfeeding rate were higher. I've had the temerity to point out that breastfeeding rates in the US have risen dramatically since their nadir of 24% in 1973, yet NONE of the predicted benefits have occurred. Many have searched for data to rebut this claim but to their shock and horror have found that the predicted benefits of breastfeeding have indeed failed to appear.
[pullquote align="right" cite="" link="" color="" class="" size=""]Breastfeeding policy has been determined by biases that have nothing to do with actual science — bias toward the natural, anti-corporatist bias and anti-feminist bias. [/pullquote]
In their fury, they've accused me of being biased. I must be anti-breastfeeding, though I breastfed my four children. I must hate breastfeeding although it's hardly hateful to point out that breastfeeding has failed to live up to the claims made on its behalf. Most egregiously, I must be in the pay of formula companies. No one has any evidence for that libel; I don't receive any industry money from anyone.
In response they keep citing the same faulty studies whose predictions have failed to occur. Or they advance the logical fallacy of arguing from authority, insisting that if the WHO, UNICEF, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and various other health organizations claim that breastfeeding is superior, then it must be superior.
What they fail to realize is that contemporary breastfeeding policy is tainted by three specific kinds of bias: cognitive bias, anti-corporate bias and anti-feminist bias.
Cognitive bias
The belief in the innate superiority of breastfeeding has its intellectual root in the naturalistic fallacy, the belief that anything natural must be superior. This bias toward the natural is specific to Western cultures of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. Prior to that, the same cultures exhibited a pronounced technological bias. That's part of the reason why infant formula became so popular in the first place; in the early 20th Century all technology was viewed as inherently superior simply because it was an innovation. But neither is inherently superior. The relative value of the natural vs. the technological varies with the circumstances.
But cognitive bias toward breastfeeding is so strong that it led to publication bias. The aim of nearly all breastfeeding scientific literature is to validate the belief that breastfeeding must be better, not to test it. Most of the breastfeeding scientific literature is produced by partisans in journals that are edited by partisans. I am aware of researchers who cannot get their scientifically accurate papers published because calling the purported benefits of breastfeeding into question produces cognitive dissonance among those who have staked their scientific careers on the supposed superiority of breastfeeding.
Anti-corporatist bias
Breastfeeding policy is rooted in anti-corporatist bias toward Nestle and other formula companies. Don't get me wrong, Nestle and other formula companies DID engage in unethical behavior in Africa by luring women away from breastfeeding even though they lacked access to clean water with which to prepare formula. The result was the death of tens of thousands of babies.
But what got lost in the righteous anger toward Nestle's behavior is that there was NEVER anything wrong with formula itself; the problem was the water used to prepare it. All the African babies who died would have lived if Nestle had provided clean water along with powdered formula. No matter; formula itself was demonized and a series of draconian advertising restrictions instituted specifically to punish formula companies. Bias toward Nestle was transmuted to bias toward its completely safe, perfectly healthy product.
This anti-corporatist bias is a form of white hat bias:
'White hat bias' [is] bias leading to distortion of information in the service of what may be perceived to be righteous ends… WHB bias may be conjectured to be fuelled by feelings of righteous zeal, indignation toward certain aspects of industry, or other factors…
But bias in the service of righteous ends is still bias and bias has no place in scientific research or policy.
Anti-feminist bias
La Leche League and its daughter organizations have been the prime movers in ALL breastfeeding policy in the past 35 years. They lobbied the WHO/UNICEF to punish Nestle and other corporations and to demonize formula in the process. But LLL always had another agenda entirely. It was created by religious traditionalists to promote breastfeeding as a means of forcing working mothers back into the home.
In the book La Leche League: At the Crossroads of Medicine, Feminism, and Religion, Jule DeJager Ward explains that LLL was founded as a backlash to the emancipation of women:
[A] central characteristic of La Leche League's ideology is that it was born of Catholic moral discourse on family life … The League has very strong convictions about the needs of families. These convictions are the normative heart of its narrative… The League's presentations and literature carry a strong suggestion that breast feeding is obligatory. Their message is simple: Nature intended mothers to nurse their babies; therefore, mothers ought to nurse…
The original goal of LLL was to convince women that their primary purpose in life was to use their reproductive organs rather than their intellect or talents. It has succeeded beyond its wildest dreams. Now there are women who actually claim that the decision to breastfeed is feminist when it is nothing more than biological essentialism. And it has produced a cadre of lactivists — women who define both themselves and other women by how they use their breasts. Because breastfeeding has become part of lactivists' self-image, any suggestion that it is less than immensely beneficial produces profoundly uncomfortable feelings of cognitive dissonance.
The bottom line is that breastfeeding policy has been determined by biases that have nothing to do with actual science — bias toward the natural, anti-corporatist bias and anti-feminist bias.
Pointing out that breastfeeding has failed to deliver its predicted benefits isn't hating breastfeeding; it's simply loving truth more than comforting biases.

Thank you for writing this! I'm so tired of the lack of robust evidence-based discussion about the actual benefits and risks of breastfeeding! I was fortunate enough to have a doctor who told me that, because I had a high risk of post-partum depression, breastfeeding was optional, but sleeping was not. I breastfed exclusively with my first and with my second, am doing a mix. A helpful lactation consultant told me that there is evidence that 8oz. of breastmilk per day is enough to confer the mother's current antibodies, so I've been aiming for that amount and not making myself crazy waking up all night to pump and boost supply. The whole conversation around breastfeeding seems emotionally based, and rife with judgement, but light on well-designed, peer reviewed studies. Glad to see someone with a medical degree and an evidence-based approach!

Slightly OT-the parents of a baby who suffered severe brain damage after breast feeding in hospital have lost their case for compensation. They blamed the midwife for not warning them about keeping the baby's airways uncovered, but the court didn't agree.

OT: Love Modern Alternative Mama's piece on how unschoolers learn to read; note the lack of formal diagnosis and remedial therapy for the oldest, who probably has dyslexia based on "online" and "regional coordinator" assessments:
https://modernalternativemama.com/2018/07/25/how-unschoolers-learn-to-read/
Dear God, I knew she was a nutcase, but I didn't know she is withholding education from her kids. It didn't bother her at all that her 9 year old couldnt read?! She should have been in the 4th grade by then learning U.S. History and the function of bone marrow. There is no telling how far she has fallen behind academically.
Well, I didn't know about bone marrow until high school, but yes, your point is well taken. This is the despised c-section daughter, though, so I'm sadly unsurprised at her neglect.
I remember when I was in 4th grade 4th grade, the teacher brought in a cow's femur sawed in half longitudinally and we actually saw the bone marrow. The smell wasn't too awesome, I must admit.

Jesus, they waited til she was 9 to go the local library and sign up for the summer reading program? We signed my son up at the local library when he was 6mnths old. We kept at him trying to read books with him until he was about 20mnths and from then we read to him every night (the book that tipped the scales was Chu's Day by Neil Gaiman- yes, that Neil Gaiman, if anyone's interested). He's not even two and a half and we're already learning letters with him.
My father was sent to work at 13yrs old and couldn't write much but could read and always prevailed upon me how important it was to be able to educate yourself and open your imagination to different worlds.
I totally get that a child with additional needs might need more help and encouragement with learning to read and write but that doesn't prevent you reading to your child. You suck them in with the pictures and the words and stories flow from there. How is she only bringing all her kids into her room for story time when they're all so old? It's insane, these people care *so* much about 'health' and how one drop of formula may decimate those precious infant tummies but something as advantageous as READING TO YOUR CHILD (which is also proven to be advantageous afaik) isn't a big deal?! Jesus Christ.
It's mind-boggling, isn't it? I guess she's too busy with her wellness junk to ensure that her kids are learning basic skills.
An old retired nurse, a relative of mine, says that when school-age children entered, she could never say which one was breastfed and which one was formula-fed.
My primary school teacher grandmother? She could say which kid had not been read to right on the spot.
They waited until the kid was 9? Like in nine?
Amazing Niece is also two and a half and we have been learning letters with her since before she was two. A few days ago, we took her to the Book Alley and her eyes went as wide as saucers. She read the title of the first book we bought her on her own – Dear Kitten.
They waited until nine?
A hook line for the Alternative Mamas of the world: when Amazing Niece was even younger, she did not say, "I want to write." She used to say, "I want to write Mama". Weep over this, Katie! What a chance to feed your narcisism you have missed!
I can't fathom how people who claim to be so knowledgeable and nurturing neglect the basic soul nurture for their children. Reading to a kid leads to better imagination, better vocabulary, better… everything but a mom's patience since it isn't always easy. It can be time consuming and AM might have been forced to give up on her natural cult thing to some extent – and THIS is unthinkable.
From what I can gather from these 'unschoolers' like MAM and that batshit Naugler family who've got like a million kids living in a shed in Kentucky, the appeal of unschooling seems to be that you can just let your kids look after each other while you get on with important business of blathering on Facebook all day.
If you've got a local library, reading is an activity that will only cost you your time. Books can be bought for super-cheap second-hand too and they last (more or less- we've had to chuck quite a few out as both my children started off by trying to eat them). What's even more galling is that MAM's entire business exists because she can read and write. So she of all people should understand the importance of being literate.
I mean, all she has to do is sweep up all the kids for 30 minutes a day and sit and read them a story. That's it. It blows my mind this isn't something that somebody who isn't sending their kids to school, where somebody else might do that for them, would do.
Actually teaching them to read is obviously going to take a lot more effort than that. I guess she figured if she just ignored it then the kids would figure it out themselves but that's not how it works! That's why we have proper schools because knowing how to teach is in and of itself not easy and not something anyone can just do. I don't think I'd even know where to start with something as complicated as reading, over and above the basics. Which is why both my children will be going to school so an expert can take them further with it than I am capable of myself.
But it isn't as easy as to sweep up all the kids and sit and read them a story. Some of the kids are going to whine. Others are going to do the reading themselves. Others yet are going to incessantly ask, "Why?" and "What?" (Just yesterday, Amazing Niece interrupted me five times in a single page to insist that Mama Bear in the picture was no Mama Bear but Bunny's Daddy.) It can be noisy and inconvenient, and too much of an effort for such an unnatural result! Why put a natural mama like her through THIS?
Bad thing is, children mimic each other's behavior. The Intruder would sit for five minutes with every book he could snatch at age two because *I* was reading. He could read fluently at four and felt that he was ready to start primary school – again, because *I* went to school. Unschooling many children together is much worse than one kid at a time.
Thing is, I think a lot of kids will teach themselves to read, eventually; but parents must promote literacy by reading to them, and they must be on the lookout for any developmental problems that may impede learning. This is true for parents who send their kids to school, but triply so for parents who homeschool. If your kid is having problems, it is educational neglect not to address the problem properly.
Children are a lot like dandelions. Even if they're neglected and never cared for or watered, they will often find a way to sprout through the cracks.
What I find fairly astonishing is how she's managing to frame what is both medical (with the whole homebirth/not vaccinating/letting her kid crawl about with a broken arm for a week) and educational neglect as some sort of lifestyle choice to aspire to. Although she talks about reading with her kids further down the article, it's so telling that in order for her daughter (who is basically being blamed for not pushing her own education forwards by only remembering to ask for help at 10pm at night) to practice reading with the family, they have to schedule a special event instead of just getting her to be the one to read the story to the littles at story time. It's really clear reading is not a regular part of their everyday life, which with five children who don't attend school is horrifying!
I'm surprised she admits her daughter even has dyslexia. These types seem to think learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities are the fault of the parents — vaccines or GMOs or formula.
It's just another piece of 'damage' for her to flaunt in order to 'prove' that vaccines/GMO's/formula/c-sections etc are BAD.
Cos this IS the one who was 'damaged' by a c-section, so what's one more bit of damage?
I feel so sorry for that poor little girl.
It's such a strange way to think-surely if you believe a child had a difficult start, you'd want to build them up a little, lend a hand, put something extra their way, in case they need the help.
That's because you either like children or have an innate sense of fairness, kindness or justice. MAM…not so much.
MAM dislikes her oldest daughter intensely and blames her feelings on the fact her daughter was born by C-section. Personally, I blame her for not woman-ing up and seeing a therapist….or doing a healing rain-dance…or taking up marathoning….or whatever she needed to be an adult and deal.
She's the one who wrote the extremely poorly thought out "If I had to make a "Sophie's Choice" decision, I'd sacrifice my daughter 'cause I really like my son" article and was amazed by the blowback. Because – you know – she'd be really sad if she had to sacrifice her daughter in a Sophie's Choice-like situation, she said she'd be really sad, and we don't talk enough about the hard times of parenting – so don't blame her for writing a brutal essay that we're all praying that her daughter never reads.
'Cause lots of adults would prefer to just sacrifice themselves to save two kids. We had a gallows humor joke among the Small Baby Unit Parents that life would be a lot easier if we could just lop off limbs to protect the babies. Sure, the adults would all be quadruple amputees – but the babies would be safe and healthy so where's a bone saw and a fifth of high-proof liquor?
Lovely woman that she is-that poor little girl.
I'm not a reading or language arts teacher, but I picked up a lot about helping students who had reading difficulties when I was teaching.
I guess I'm glad that she's kind of figured out how kids learn to read in the total absence of a parent who keeps literacy on the forefront of her mind – but even her ideas on how kids learn to read is shoddy with a lot of missing steps. Like how and when her kids learn letters and the sounds they make and that there are some tricks to figure out when a vowel will be short or long. You know, those rules that are really helpful for people with dyslexia.
My mind is more than a little blown from the fact that she's learned that kids remember "important words" – which most people would classify as nouns, active verbs (I'm assuming) adjectives while often forgetting "less important words" – also known as articles and helping verbs. Hmm…wonder why children learn and remember nouns and active verbs better than articles and helping verbs? Could it be that concrete items are easier to remember than abstract items? Especially during simple plots?
Also, the fact that she thinks that early elementary educators focus on the 100 most common words in the English language because those words are the ones that "adults think they are easy" is going on my list of "signs you personally shouldn't be home-schooling." Most of the words aren't easy; they are non-phonetic nightmares like "the" or "for".
Homeschooling/unschooling ugh! If my kids were around me all day the'd do nothing but fight. The older one is gifted and would learn nothing because she "already knows everything". Instead she goes to a school that balances making her learn skills with new challenges. Bless her teachers!
Madtowngirl
All I can think about when I read this piece of trash is how this morning my daughter was confirmed to have a significant astigmatism, and at 3 she already needs glasses. We caught this early – and thank goodness, because impaired vision would almost certainly have affected her academic abilities later on. I just can't fathom why she wouldn't go get help for that poor child.
So its Sunday, does that mean Breastfeeding Week is over….The seagulls on FB are so boring, especially the AVers.
"I must hate breastfeeding although it's hardly hateful to point out that
breastfeeding has failed to live up to the claims made on its behalf."
That's reminiscent of members of the invisible magic sky daddy crowd who believe that atheists are atheists because they "hate God." They, like a significant chunk of lactivists, just can't wrap their minds around the idea that there are legitimate grounds for not embracing their belief systems.
Typo under "Anti-Corporatist Bias:" should be '…Nestle and other formula companies DID *engage* in unethical behavior…'
The Kids Aren't AltRight
One of the most baffling parts of the societal pressures surrounding pregnancy (I still have a month to go, so naturalistic fallacy peddling has mostly limited to birth) is how misogynistic the so-called feminists are. Suddenly it's the feminists saying you don't need to worry your pretty little head about statistics, you have no right to control your body, any identity outside of motherhood makes you some sort of unwoman monster, etc. It has been very depressing and disorienting.
AnotherOor
I hear you. I've been disappointed by what I now think of as "mainstream feminism".
My sister and I call it "moontime feminism"
It's so true. Once you make the choice to carry a pregnancy to term, you no longer have any bodily autonomy or identity outside of "mama." It's gross.

Romania visit - day 2
Day two- Thursday May 23rd: Joi 23 mai
What a busy and enjoyable day we have had today. After an early breakfast we were collected from the hotel and taken to our partner school,'Tiberiu Morariu' in the small village of Salva. We were welcomed by three children dressed in the traditional clothing of Transylvania- who offered us bread and salt which is a traditional welcome to express hospitality.
We were formally welcomed by the headteacher followed by children in traditional dress carrying the flag of each partner country while their national anthem played. An outstanding school choir then sang a song in the language of each partner country – they chose 'Imagine' by John Lennon to represent our school and it was a truly outstanding performance.
Finally we got to meet the children with a grand tour of the school. It is a tradition in Romanian schools that any visitor is given a gift and our staff will be delighted to know that we got a bar of chocolate or cake in each class.
Salva school is much smaller than ours with only 248 pupils whose ages range from 3 to 16. The kindergarten class only had 5 pupils in and classes were generally much smaller than ours. The behaviour of the children was excellent and there is clearly a wonderful relationship between teachers and parents.
In each class we were asked questions which were mainly based on explaining the different way we did things in our school – they couldn't believe that we had 30 children in classes! Several classes sang a song to the group and the one that made the biggest impression with us was a song about friendship with each verse in a different partner's language. While the children don't wear a uniform like us many of them wear their traditional costumes on special days. Salva is a very special school with a really warm atmosphere and it was a pleasure to meet the staff and children who made us incredibly welcome.
The morning finished with workshops where all partners exchanged their brochures on the famous women they had studied- the superb presentation of our brochure was warmly commented upon! Partners also exchanged pen pal letters which we will bring back to you when we return. We agreed that each class would prepare a class letter before the end of the year to share with our partners before we start our summer holidays – some of our partner schools start their summer holidays in June!
Our Romanian hosts presented a 'movie on safer internet day which included some of the work that we had done in our school back in February. It was great to see some of our nursery and year 3 children in the presentation. We also looked at preparing a 'Treasure Hunt' where we find out about each other's countries using 'QR' codes. We also agreed that each school would send some STEM (Science , Technology , Engineering and Maths) work for the second Blend digital newspaper.
Finally we looked back at all the things we had done in the project to date- it has been very impressive to say the least!
After a splendid lunch provided by the school we were taken on a cultural tour of the historic centre of Bistrita( pronounced Bee-street-sah), which is situated about 30 kilometres from Salva. It is the largest town in Northern Transylvania with a population of 70,000 people. It is a beautiful old city with some fantastic historic buildings. We visited the old cathedral and the museum and we saw the original hotel where Jonathan Harker, a main character in the Dracula story, stayed when he visited Transylvania.
Before this though we were invited into a very spectacular council chamber where we were introduced to the Vice President of the North Transylvania council. He told us about some of the history and traditions of the area and it was clear how proud he and his team were of their culture. We were delighted to be informed that Salva school had been nominate for an EEC national award for Romanian education and they will be receiving the top award in July this year for their sharing of excellent practice to schools in both Romania andthe many European schools they have worked with including the Erasmus+ partners. We were all delighted with this news and gave Valy and her team a huge round of applause- the award is richly deserved! We have had an amazing day and hope you like the pictures that we have sent.
What type of feathers can you see on the hat of the boy who welcomed us?
How many years ago was the clock in the museum made?
Do you recognise the Romanian version of very popular English books?
How many miles is 30 kilometres?

The aggregate market capitalization of digital forms of money is currently above $137 billion, up from $16 billion toward the start of the year. In any case, before the world can direct a lot of its exchanges by means of digital money advertises, the issue of liquidity must be tended to.
Liquidity alludes to the degree to which a market enables resources for be purchased and sold at stable costs. Lower liquidity tends to bring about a more unstable market (particularly when expansive requests are put), and it makes costs change all the more radically; though higher liquidity makes a less unpredictable market, and costs don't vary as altogether.
Today, money is the most fluid resource. In the event that an exchange of $1 million happens, the market can assimilate that exchange effortlessly without the estimation of the dollar radically evolving. Expenses related with the exchange, and the estimation of the money at the season of the exchange, are additionally known already.
Be that as it may, a similar exchange in bitcoin, or some other digital currency, has a substantially more noteworthy impact on the cryptographic money's esteem.
This is a result of the market's absence of liquidity. The measure of cryptographic money accessible on a particular exchanging stage can run out, requiring the purchaser to finish the exchange at 1– 10 percent more than anticipated.
To finish a similar exchange of $1 million, it could wind up costing amongst $10,000 and $100,000 more than the first cost to make the exchange.
As of recently, the digital money space has been commanded by concentrated trades that assistance encourage exchange from government monetary standards to cryptographic forms of money.
Brought together trades, as Coinbase, are anything but difficult to access and simple to utilize. Be that as it may, the same number of have neglected to enough secure their clients' assets, decentralized trades are turning into a prevalent idea.
Concentrated trades have been basically caught off guard for the current inundation of clients, causing real framework disappointments and drawing in the consideration of programmers. While some brought together trades are more secure than others, there's still been various security disappointments, similar to a year ago's Bitfinex hack, which brought about a great many clients losing their investment funds (until the point that it was later reimbursed).
Decentralized exchanging stages offer an option, and maybe much more important administration, by promising more noteworthy security and straightforwardness. They don't depend on outsider administrations to hold client stores. Rather, shared exchanges are conceivable through a computerized procedure.
The advantage of utilizing a decentralized trade is that there is no compelling reason to put any trust in the trade stage itself, as the assets are held by the client in an individual wallet, instead of with an outsider. Decentralized trades can likewise give more protection, while diminishing the danger of server downtime, if just for the individuals who are more technically knowledgeable.
Shockingly, decentralized exchanging stages still do not have the ware, simple of utilization, and by and large "client bolster" to pull in a standard client base. Subsequently, the liquidity and market profundity of these trades is still very low.
Enhancing the liquidity in decentralizing exchanging stages is one approach to help support standard selection. Obviously, many elements add to the liquidity of a benefit. In any case, if the courses in which buyers make money related exchanges utilizing digital currencies could be improved, at that point it's not hard to envision that the interest for such resources would increment.
Little uncertainty exchanging cryptographic forms of money will keep on taking spot on various types of trades for a long time to come without a solitary, more steady resource rising to hold their incentive in line. This implies beating market discontinuity and liquidity issues will require a novel arrangement.
One way to deal with unraveling the difficulties that exist in decentralized trades is to diminish the cost of the switch for digital money merchants. On the off chance that an on-chain stage can take advantage of different holds, and lower the obstructions of changing starting with one trade then onto the next by working with different wallet suppliers, at that point clients can sign into their wallets and execute a token transformation while never leaving their wallets.
This enables receipts to get to installments from any token that a decentralized stage bolsters.
Token-to-token convertibility is not by any means the only way to deal with explaining the liquidity challenge. There are numerous other special thoughts on the best way to enable clients to execute cross-arrange exchanges flawlessly and at sensible rates – and these arrangements are opening up totally new routes for the more prominent open to take an interest in the cryptographic money biological system.
Moreover, liquidity is by all account not the only factor in the selection of the innovation, yet it stands to be a basic segment in how the market develops. Advancing liquidity in the blockchain biological system, and particularly in decentralized trades, will be vital to enhancing the overall population's impression of cryptographic forms of money as an important approach to exchange monetary standards securely and safely.

Pigeons wearing tiny cowboy hats are flying around Las Vegas and people have questions
LAS VEGAS – Pigeons come in many shapes and sizes.
In Las Vegas, some wear cowboy hats.
A viral Facebook video from a Las Vegas resident named Bobby Lee showing pigeons with tiny cowboy hats apparently glued to their heads has led a local pigeon rescue group to launch an operation unlike any other.
"We got a couple good leads," said Mariah Hillman, co-founder of Lofty Hopes, on Tuesday. "We found Cluck Norris. We've been chasing him all day."
As of Tuesday afternoon, Hillman and her small crew were putting up a trap to capture Cluck Norris the cowboy pigeon about a half-mile from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas campus.
"It looks like glue," Hillman said after her daughter got close enough to see the hat atop Cluck's head. "There are feathers stuck to the hat."
After Cluck is captured, Hillman will try to remove the hat.
"Hopefully it's not impeding his vision," she said. "It's a living being. Every living being has a right to his own life."
The viral video showing Cluck and a second cowboy pigeon has led to some entertaining social media commentary.

Q: invalid covariant return type ( parameters also inherited ) I am getting this error
invalid covariant return type for 'virtual JumpState Jump_peg::init()'
I have done this
Can you suggest something what's wrong?
class Puzzle{

    public:
        virtual vector<State> getNext(State) = 0;
        virtual State init() = 0;
        virtual bool solved(State) = 0;
        virtual void print(State) = 0;
};

class Jump_peg:public Puzzle{

    private:
    int size;
    public:
        vector<JumpState> getNext(JumpState);
        JumpState init();
        bool solved(JumpState);
        void print(JumpState);
        void jump(JumpState,int,int,vector<JumpState>&);
};

and in my code
jumpstate inherits from state
class JumpState:public State

A: I imagine that the intention in the code is that getNext, init, solve and print are all overridden in the derived type, but that is not the case for different reasons.
In the case of init, since there are no arguments, the compiler interprets that you want to override the function by the same name in the base. C++ allows for co-variant types (the return type of the overrider can be a derived type of the type returned by the function in the base) provided that the return type is either a pointer or reference, but not a value.
In the case of solved and print the functions declared in the derived type do not override the function declared with the same name in the base as the set of arguments is not the same. C++ supports covariant return types, but the arguments must be the same for a function to override another.
Even if some variation was allowed for the arguments it would have to be contra-variance, not co-variance, since co-variance would narrow the contract of the function in the derived type: the base type would take any State, but the derived type can only take JumpState. The derived type would not be substitutable in place of the base, breaking the Liskov Substitution Principle.
Moreover, different template instantiations are unrelated types, no matter what the relationship of the template arguments is, so in the case of getNext the types vector<State> and vector<JumpState> are not related by inheritance even if State and JumpState are.

A: Covariant return types work when you return pointers or references, but not class objects. So
virtual State& init();

would work. Unfortunately, a bigger problem is that
virtual vector<State> getNext(State);

and
vector<JumpState> getNext(JumpState);

are totally unrelated functions. The latter does not override the former. The same is true for all other pairs of functions that accept a State. To override, parameter types must be identical.
You actually might be needing this:
template <class State> class Puzzle { ..

class Jump_peg : public Puzzle<JumpState> { ...

Q: Using rvest to scrape data that is not in table I'm trying to scrape some data from a website.  I thought I could use rvest, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting data that is not in a table.
I don't know if it's possible, or whether I'm using the wrong package?
I am trying to get the website, name and address from the following html:

Tennis Court

 123 Page St, Charlestown

A place to play tennis

I'd hoped I could use something like html_node("title") etc, but that doesn't seem to wrong.  Am I completely on the wrong path?

A: You can use html_nodes to add css selectors to extract :
library(rvest)
url <- 'https://concreteplayground.com/auckland/bars'

webpage <- url %>% read_html()
name <- webpage %>% html_nodes('p.name a') %>%html_text() %>% trimws()
address <- webpage %>% html_nodes('p.address') %>% html_text() %>% trimws()
links <- webpage %>% html_nodes('p.name a') %>% html_attr('href')
data.frame(name, address, links)

#                              name                                address
#1                         Holy Hop          498 New North Road, Kingsland

LArtémise fou una fragata de la classe Magiciene de l'armada francesa. No va adoptar el nom d'Artémise fins al setembre del 1794. Abans, als seus inicis, quan s'estava construint a Toló, s'anomenà Aurore, però els Britànics prenen la ciutat. No és fins al 24 de juliol del 1794 que els francesos la recapturen, reprenen la seva construcció i en canvien el nom. El 23 de juny del 1795 es trobava navegant amb la Minerve, fragata de quaranta canons, quan topa amb el HMS Dido i el HMS Lowestoffe, en el decurs del combat el Minerve resulta capturat, però l'Artémise aconsegueix escapar. El seu capità és rellevat del comandament per deixar enrere el Minerve.

El 1798 pren part de l'Expedició francesa a Egipte, enquadrat dins la flotilla francesa. A la Batalla del Nil l'HMS Orion i el HMS Theseus el persegueixen; amb tota la seva bateria inutilitzada i sense capacitat operativa, els seus tripulants calen foc a la nau per evitar que caigui en mans de la Royal Navy britànica.

Q: Change audio speed then save as new file Is there anyway I can programmatically change the playback speed of an audio file with javascript and save it as a new file?
The only solution I can think of is to pipe the audio file through a web audio api node, alter the playback rate, and record the output as a wav file. This is not ideal though because I would have to play the file all the way through in order to record the new version.

A: You can use an offline audio context (Web Audio API) to process the audio.
This processes the audio, without having to wait for real-time playback.
//will hold the sped up audio
var spedUpBuffer;

//Create the context
var offlineCtx = new OfflineAudioContext(2,44100*40,44100);//(channels,length,Sample rate);

//create source node and load buffer
var source = offlineCtx.createBufferSource();
source.buffer = yourBuffer;

//speed the playback up
source.playbackRate.value = 1.25;

//lines the audio for rendering
source.start(0);

//renders everything you lined up
offlineCtx.startRendering();
offlineCtx.oncomplete = function(e) {
//copies the rendered buffer into your variable.
spedUpBuffer = e.renderedBuffer;
}

The 316 stainless steel construction withstands both cleaning in place and steam sterilization processes up to 130�C. Two models CS615 and CS620 are available for 1�-1.5� and 2� tri clamp flanges. For compatibility with a number of instrumentation models, both sizes come with optional automatic temperature compensation (ATC). Pt1000, Pt100, or user specified ATC values are available.
Cell constants offered with the CS615 are 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0, which allow the sensors a wide measurement range in most applications from pure water to general industrial use. Special cell constants are available on request. The sensors come with a 10 foot cable with tinned wire terminations for connection to process monitoring instrumentation.
