This got me too, but on reading, it's clear the author means parents of young children. Since the focus of the article is on child development, it's reasonable that it limits its scope to parents of young children, and not e.g. pa

Most SQL implementations do seem to allow you to name a column or a table with a keyword, but to refer to it you may need to put it in quotes or backticks. I'm not sure if this is a solved problem at the level of the ANSI SQL spec or i

Barleywine is a beer (it requires malting of the barley) marketed as a wine. Sorghum wine (baijiu) is a distilled spirit, closer to vodka, mistranslated as a wine. Rice wine (sake, mijiu) really does seem more like a wine than a beer, apart

In trading, it's illegal to do a test trade in production on most regulated exchanges. Making a trade with no intrinsic economic motivation is considered market manipulation and will be punished by the regulator. It's also illegal

That link is the lowest quality article I've ever seen, but if it means anything, it seems to mean Rook and Bishop vs Rook, but both sides also have any number of pawns. Pure RB v R does not come up one game in 60 at any level, that&#x

It's hard to isolate the external knowledge. If R+B v R came up once every 50 games, every GM and probably every 2000 would know it inside out.

Hopefully it still is being tracked by them, otherwise when someone reports it tomorrow they'll have no idea what it is and will need to go through this song and dance again. It's just not being published on a certain curated list
