I getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS in virtual methods when i run program on iPad.
It happens only if method returns registered data type and if method have virtual definition in base class.
My code:
[source lang="cpp"]virtual my_type Base::method() = 0;...my_type Derived::method(){ ... this->field = 10; // EXC_BAD_ACCESS ...}[/source]
If i replace code above with:
[source lang="cpp"]virtual void Base::method(my_type &res) = 0;...void Derived::method(my_type &res){ ... this->field = 10; // OK ...}[/source]
problem will disappear.
I have this problem only on ios device. i've tested my code on windows, osx and iphone simulator - all is ok. If i replace 'my_type' to 'int' all is ok as well.
It looks like calling of virtual methods with wrong object.
So, what it can be?
ps: as version - 2.25.0

Why dont more people just omit adc from the meta? Replace it with another tanky bruiser. I understand the range farming aspect, but a compariable adc and bruiser going 1v1 the bruiser should always win.
In addition CC is a huge factor in team fights. Not many ADC bring that, besides Varus, or a Cait trap. Would like a response on this matter.

"but a compariable adc and bruiser going 1v1 the bruiser should always win."
If you think the game is determined by 1v1 fights, you have a lot to learn before you should try to adjust the meta.
No i understand its a 5v5 teamfight game, but that doesnt explain why people dont go without an adc. What truly makes an ADC so important that a bruiser couldnt do?
Ranged dps. Kite.
Cant kite any of the new bruisers. They all have insane gap closers.
It's the dps. You can't build straight damage on a bruiser and have them still be a bruiser. If you keep your adc alive and shooting with PEELs , your team does much more damage.

Great product!
Summer Meadow Save the Date Cards My cards turned out exactly how I pictured them! I couldn't be happier. The entire process was so easy from picking sizes, to colors, to changing the wording. Great experience and I will be happy to order my wedding invitations as well as any future invitations on this site!
Exactly as designed.
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Cards Loved the Save the Date card. However, I obviously didn't look at the size. They are the size of a thick book mark. I was hoping for the size of a postcard. They however, are exactly as I designed and the colors perfect. Very happy with the Save the Date other than the size, which was my fault.

How to Join YAC UK
The Young Archaeologists' Club (YAC) is the only UK-wide club for young people aged up to 17. The club is run by Council for British Archaeology (CBA), an educational charity working for 70 years to promote 'Archaeology for All'. YAC's vision is for all young people to have opportunities to be inspired and excited by archaeology, and to empower them to help shape its future.
Over the next year we are going to be making some changes to YAC, including building a brilliant, brand-new website, which we want your help to design. The website will be packed with incredible archaeological activities to try at home, and will highlight our amazing YAC Branches. There will be ideas about places to visit, and a blog to keep you up to date with archaeological news and events. All this will be available completely free of charge to everyone.
The new website for young archaeologists will be regularly updated with content for young people of all ages. It will replace the existing printed Young Archaeologist magazine, and as it will be freely available we will no longer need to charge anyone to join YAC - so far more young people will be able to get involved. If you used to be a YAC UK member: don't worry - you'll still be able to access the amazing content you got through the post, and it'll be free, and you will be able to access it anytime you want it! Back in 2014 we wrote to all YAC UK members to let them know how the changes would affect their membership. If you have any questions, please do contact us.

In previous books, Monica Hughes had given quick side looks at a badly overpopulated, dreary, desperate world. In Invitation to the Game, she takes us to that world, and it's even bleaker and more desperate than it sounded at first glance.
So desperate, that when people get even a hint of something else—say, a mysterious, high risk game taking place in another location—they will do anything to enter it. Anything.
[Including just possibly giving up technology for a more low-tech, primitive culture. I know you're shocked. Spoilery.]

A majority of all security concerns are directly related to phishing risks, according to a recent study from KnowBe4 and Osterman Research, but nearly 80 percent of those polled also say they have seen no improvement in the ways they proactively approach phishing. In fact, one-third see the problem actively worsening.
While Majority Report Tailgating Vulnerability, Only 15 Percent Report Tracking Incidents
According to a survey conducted by Boon Edam, while more than 70 percent of respondents report they believe their organizations are vulnerable to security breaches as a result of "tailgating," only 15 percent report that they are currently tracking these incidents — tailgating occurs when an authorized person holds a door open for another person who enters without successfully passing through access controls.

GE profile gas range boils everything
I bought a GE Profile range, propane cooktop and electric ovens (2). I cannot turn the burners down low enough to prevent boiling. I just had a GE repair guy here to try and solve the problem. Then I talked to their expert on the phone. Can you believe that they sold me a range that cannot cook anything without boiling it?
I hate this range and am going to replace it. I wish there had been a way to find out how horrible this appliance is without wasting over $800!
First thing I thought of -- and maybe the GE repair guy checked this --- but are you sure that GE or the dealer properly installed a propane conversion kit?
Around here, the GE stoves arrive with natural gas fittings and they supply a kit for the conversion. Sometimes dealers install them, sometimes they just send you the kit in the box with the stove and expect you to diy or hire somebody to do it for you.
Running propane though a natural gas burners is dangerous. Natural gas burners have larger orifices than propane burners and natural gas runs at lower pressure than propane.
Running propane though a natural gas burner will give you way too much gas and too big a flame. Which seems to be what you are seeing.
That means somebody may not have installed the conversion kit. That should have been the first thing the GE repair guy checked. But, these days, you never know who is going to overlook the obvious.
This post was edited by JWVideo on Fri, Sep 6, 13 at 1:52
Gas cooktop with electric oven(s) is a dual-fuel range.
GE Dual-fuel ranges usually are at least $2k.
They have 5k btu simmer burners that are supposed to go down to 140 degrees and all-purpose burners in the 10-11k btu range that are supposed to do down to 150 degrees.
Your simmer burner and all-purpose burners are boiling everything?
I agree with deeageaux. An $800 isn't a Profile. Even so, most GE ranges down to the cheap $600 ones will have a simmer burner. So, I'm not sure what the issue is here. But there is a bunch of misinformation in the post that the OP needs to come back and clarify. But, I'm betting it's just another drive by venting and we'll get no followup.

Countertop decisions. Cambria Whitney - any pics?
Has anyone used Cambria Whitney? I'd love to see some pics if you have. I know I'm in the TKO forum, and I'm thinking of it for my bathrooms, but this forum has so much more traffic, many more people with great ideas, etc.
The rest of the house? I lean toward contemporary and I'm using Alaska White in the kitchen (and laundry because you can see both kitchen and laundry from many angles), Blanco Silgranit sink in Cafe Brown, Espresso cabs (or cafe with black glaze but leaning espresso), Prince & Dutchess silver flooring throughout (except carpet in bedrooms), satin nickle hardware, stunning square crystal pendant lights above the island, just to give you a flavor of the house. Although I lean toward contemporary I always have resale on my mind... given I'm never in one place for long.
One of my AW slabs with the floor tile in front...
I was thinking of the Cambria Bellingham, which I thought looked great with the floor and one of the shower tiles I'm thinking of using, but it seems too similar to the Alaska White. It has movement and the AW doesn't really, and the colors aren't all that similar, but there is just something that seems too similar... and I think it's the colors - taupe, black, brown, cream, and white. Maybe it is just too heavy for a bathroom?
Bellingham with shower tile and floor tile....
So, I'm now thinking of the Cambria Whitney. It is very different, and feels lighter being white with silver sparkles.
The pics online don't do it justice as they show it to be very flat, but this pic may show it the best....
The other option would be to go with a marble, which would be very pretty with the silvery gray floor.
Thoughts? Opinions? Other options? I think I have to stick with Silestone, Ceasarstone, or Cambria, or a granite or marble. Thx in advance.
Hi ninha - I am still wavering some... but think I'm going with carrara marble in one of the baths rather than the Whitney. Not sure about the other bath. (My house isn't built yet but I have to nail all my choices down immediately. :)
I too couldn't find any pictures. Well, one but you couldn't really see the countertop. I ordered the 15x15 sample from Cambria (or is it 12x12? Whichever...) and I really like it. The longer I've had it the more it has grown on me. It's funny but I'm actually a little sad thinking I'm not going to be using it, which makes me think I should!
Sorry I can't be more help. As you can see I didn't get any responses to the thread asking for pics so I'm assuming no one has used it. Which is odd because I've been told it's very popular right now.

Help with low, swampy backyard
I'm not sure if this is a landscaping question... maybe it is. haha.
OK so our house is on a slope. The front yard is high, the backyard is low.
I need help with my backyard.
Because it is low, it is like a swamp. Water sits for days after it rains and it's always muddy and mushy. Not much grass grows back there. Mostly only chickweed and various types of speedwell.
Also, it is mostly shaded due to the house and a 100 yr old oak tree that lives back there. So it maybe gets 2 hours of direct sunlight, if even that.
Is there anything I can plant back there?? Any kind of grass or shrub or anything??
Right now it's raining.. when you walk back there you will sink into the ground and the mud/water will come up to your ankles..
Years ago we had 2 willow trees back there but a tornado ripped them up out of the ground :(
Oh that is awful. I think the solution has to be to correct the drainage. A contractor or landscape architect might be who to contact. I don't think plantings will really cure that. But there may be a way to divert the water and you could create a rain garden or pond.
French drain, pond installation, or reeds. Maybe a combination of all three. You could install a gravel pond bed that would be dry or wet depending on the time of year. Is there a house next door back there that you have to deal with or are you on the edge of the woods or open space. That will affect what you choose to do.
I'd check with a nursery and see what plants are compatible in water for your zone. We use papyrus, water grasses, and reeds here in California. And I have papyrus in soil along the house. I have reeds in wet spots. Lookup wetland boardwalks for ideas to create a crossing for the muck and side plant it out with water plants to make a little ecosystem back there. Obviously that's not cheap, but perhaps you could use remnant materials or have a school design crew do it as a volunteer project if that's available in your area. You cannot exactly fix the swamp in the woods but maybe you can do a little something in your spot to reclaim your yard.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jets: Project 11 will honour Rypien, bring awareness to mental-health issues
The Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation has unveiled an initiative that will both honour the late Rick Rypien and bring awareness to mental-health issues.
Project 11 is a youth education plan that focuses on positive mental health awareness as part of the 'Hockey Talks' initiative that will run during the month of February and promoted by all seven Canadian National Hockey League teams. Project 11 – the number Rypien wore with the Manitoba Moose and was to wear for the Jets before his death, brought on by depression – is a resource document for teachers in Grades 5-8 that helps promote positive mental health.
The program was created and inspired in honour of Rypien.
"There aren't many days that go by where I don't think about Rypper… that's just the way it is," said an emotional Jets' assistant GM and senior VP of hockey operations Craig Heisinger, arguably the man who was closest to Rypien in the organization during his days with Moose and after.
"When Rick wanted to get the story out there he had the opportunity to make a powerful message. I knew what he lived through and his passion to get it out there. I think it was going to get there… it seemed like the right time was coming and before his untimely passing it seemed like it was just around the corner.
"I think he would be happy because his focus had always been to try to help other people. It took him a long time to understand he wasn't the only one. He always thought he was a burden, that he was the only one. And that's clearly not the case."
The Jets will host Hockey Talks on Feb. 7 as they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at MTS Centre. That night the Jets will use in-house messaging to raise awareness to mental health issues and also have mental health resource guides available to fans. As well, Mike Keane will be on the concourse signing limited Rick Rypien hoodies for $150 each, with all proceeds going towards Mental Health Research.
Limited edition Hockey Talks T-shirts will be sold throughout February and during all six Jets home games. Jets' players will also sport a Hockey Talks decal on their helmets during the month.
One in five Canadians will experience a mental-health problem or illness in their lifetime and approximately 70 per cent of mental-health problems and illnesses begin during childhood or adolescence. Project 11 will be driven from www.winnipegjets.com to help educators teach and discuss positive mental-health skills.

Core Curriculum Vanishing In Top Colleges, Study Says
By WILLIAM H. HONAN
Published: March 20, 1996
A study of undergraduate education since 1914 has found that the country's 50 best-known colleges and universities are no longer providing "broad and rigorous exposure to major areas of knowledge," once considered essential to a liberal-arts education.
The report, by the National Association of Scholars, concludes that the core curriculum "has largely vanished" over the past 30 years, and that there has been "a purging from the curriculum of many of the required basic survey courses that used to familiarize students with the historical, cultural, political and scientific foundations of their society."
The survey was conducted by reviewing the college catalogues of the 50 institutions over 80 years, focusing on 1914, 1939 and 1964 as pivotal years for the country and 1993, the last for which data was available.
Some educators dismiss the report as old hat, but the authors argue that their critics have closed their minds to what they choose not to hear. Stephen H. Balch, president and executive director of the association, which issued the report yesterday, said the demise of the required course had "placed America in danger of losing the common frame of reference that for many generations has sustained our liberal, democratic society."
Among the findings were these:
*Fewer core courses are required. The percentage of credits required from mandatory courses in 1993 was about one-third of what it was in 1964, and one-fifth of that in 1914.
*Students have more choices of free electives, rather than building knowledge through specializing after broader prerequisites. In 1914, colleges and universities offered an average of only 23 courses without prerequisites. The number increased to 127 in 1964 and 582 in 1993.
*In 1939 and 1964, more than half of the institutions required a thesis or comprehensive examination for a bachelor's degree. By 1993, only 12 percent did so.
*Math and science requirements are shrinking. In 1914, 82 percent of the institutions required a math course and 86 percent required science. By 1993 only 12 percent required math (though an additional 32 percent allowed a less demanding course for non-majors) and only 34 percent required a natural science.
*A foreign language was required by 90 percent of the institutions until 1964. By 1993, the percentage was 64.
*Philosophy courses were required by 76 percent of the institutions in 1914. Only 4 percent required such courses in 1993.
Lynne Cheney, chairwoman of the National Endowment for the Humanities under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, praised the report, remarking: "It made me think of how easily the movies made by people like Oliver Stone are accepted as factual. That's what happens when students can avoid taking a good, rigorous course on American history."
Founded in 1987, the association is an organization of faculty and graduate students based in Princeton that supports a traditional curriculum for higher education. Members include such prominent scholars as Jacques Barzun, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, Irving Kristol, Seymour Martin Lipset and James O. Wilson.
But among other academics, the report was attacked as more of the same. Robert Zemsky, director of the Institute for Research on Higher Education at the University of Pennsylvania, said: "This report is a distraction. I don't want bingo education where you pick one course from column A and another from column B and then shout: 'Bingo! I'm educated!' We've gotten way beyond that. We're focused on standards. We're focused on the question of whether the student develops a real capacity to learn and to apply his knowledge to the world."
And Jerry Gaff, vice president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, disdained the report as "20 years out of date" because many of the same observations were made by the Harvard Core Curriculum Task Force of 1977.
"But what's happening today," Mr. Gaff said, "is that most schools are actually strengthening the core curriculum. The institutions they studied -- the wealthiest ones -- are much less likely to be involved in educational reform. Those faculty members don't want to teach survey courses for non-majors, and they can get away with it, whereas, other institutions closer to the market are changing rapidly."
Russ Edgerton, president of the American Association for Higher Education, said that concern about the decline of the core curriculum was "half correct."
"We can't ignore the decline of requirements," he said, "but the real agenda of higher education today is the concern with problem solving, critical thinking, communicating and learning how to value."
The report's emphasis on the decline of prerequisites was challenged by several educators. Lee S. Shulman, a professor of education and psychology at Stanford University, said he thought it expressed "a deeply flawed concept of learning."
"There is no absolute, sequential highway to knowledge," Professor Shulman said. "It is not god-given that you must take 14th-century French literature before you do 18th-century French literature. Instead, what we understand today is that there are clusters of courses that speak to each other."
As for the report's description of a decline in intellectual challenge to undergraduates, Frederick Rudolph, a professor emeritus of history at Williams College and a specialist in the history of American higher education, said he had deplored the decline of the core curriculum in his book "The American College and University: A History," published in 1968.
He added, "Almost anything lamented in higher education has been lamented for a long time."
Graph: "REQUIRED COURSES: Former 'Musts' Are Becoming Pluses" A study made by the National Association of Scholars, a traditionalist group, shows that general education courses are no longer required of may college students. Curriculum requirements are easing while the school year gets shorter. Graphs show percentage of the colleges and universities surveyed that had a requirement to compelete at least one course in the following, respective, subjects: natural science, mathematics, foreign language. Graphs represent results during 1914, 1939, 1964, and 1993. Another graph tracks average number of classroom days during the same years.
