10 reasons Why Men Should Not Be Ordained For Ministry - Eugene Cho. In light of some recent intense posts - Ultimate Fighting Jesus and Conversation with Rob Bell (re: women in ministry), this list is too funny not to share. Portrait of a young pastor, Andrejs Zavadskis / Shutterstock.com But the brutal fact is that the matter of gender violence isn't all that funny either. Statistics about gender inequality via UN and UNICEF are even more discouraging. Regardless where you sit, stand, or wrestle with the issue of women in church leadership, I thought this satirical list was worth sharing for both laughter and even reflection because that's what good satire forces us to do.
And for what it's worth, I'd encourage you to read some of my thoughts about why I believe women should be included in all levels of church leadership. Here are… 10 reasons Why Men Should Not Be Ordained For Ministry. I'm personally very convicted about #5 – I am sorry for being such a stumbling block. How about you? 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

G R I M E S. Eight questions Palestinian queers are tired of hearing. You might think that the main goal of a group of queer activists in Palestine like us in Al-Qaws should be the seemingly endless task of dismantling sexual and gender hierarchy in one's own society. It is. But you might think otherwise, judging from the repetitive questions we get during our lectures and events, or from inquiries we receive from media and other international organizations.
We intend to end this once and for all. Educating people about their own privilege is not our burden. 1. Of course it does: the apartheid wall has sparkly pink doors lining it, ready to admit those who strike a fabulous pose. But seriously: "Israel" creates refugees; it does not shelter refugees. If some people manage to cross the wall and end up in Tel Aviv, they are considered "illegal." 2. Are all Americans homophobic? That being said, Palestinians are living under a decades-long military occupation. However, homophobia is not the way we contextualize our struggle. 3. Oh, we have a main enemy now? I'm a half-arsed, accidental feminist – like many other young women | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett. I am a half-arsed, accidental feminist. I said it. It's a relief to get it off my chest. By half-arsed, I don't mean that I don't care deeply about the feminist cause; I do, I just only engage with it about half the time.
The rest of the time, I'm doing other stuff, "problematic" stuff, stuff that might not even be that feminist: reading Mail Online, doing drunken twerking in the kitchen, having friends. Oh, and the diet. It's difficult being a half-arsed feminist in a movement that seems to demand both your innards and your soul, but I think I've been pulling it off with panache. When my friend Holly Baxter and I set up a satirical blog called the Vagenda two years ago, along with a group of our university friends, we never saw ourselves as part of the feminist movement.
Part of our work with the Vagenda has involved visiting schools and universities to chat to young women about just what it is about feminism they find so distasteful.

Howitzerliterarysociety: vajoochie: how do. Antisemitism hasn't gone away. We must find a way to talk about it | Keith Kahn-Harris. The release of the report of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, "Discrimination and hate crime against Jews in EU member states: experiences and perceptions of antisemitism", should be the occasion for some careful reflection among anyone who cares about the fight against prejudice.
The report, based on a survey of Jews in eight EU member states, offers the most comprehensive study ever undertaken on Jews' experiences of antisemitism in Europe. The headline figures are worrying enough: 66% of respondents consider antisemitism to be a major problem and 76% said the situation had deteriorated over the last five years. In the 12 months preceding the survey, 21% had experienced an antisemitism incident. That only 2% of respondents had been physically assaulted does not take away the harm that verbal insults, threats and harassment can cause. The extent of antisemitism varies markedly between countries. Such figures should not be dismissed lightly. I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored. Thigh gap. She may have modelled for Ralph Lauren and appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia, but when a photo of Robyn Lawley wearing a corset appeared on Facebook the responses were far from complimentary.
"Pig", "hefty" and "too fat" were some of the ways in which commenters described the 24-year-old. Her crime? Her thighs were touching. Lawley had failed to achieve a "thigh gap". The model, who has her own swimwear line and has won numerous awards for her work, responded vehemently below the line: "You sit behind a computer screen objectifying my body, judging it and insulting it, without even knowing it.
" She also went on to pen a thoughtful rallying cry for the Daily Beast last week against those who attacked her, saying their words were "just another tool of manipulation that other people are trying to use to keep me from loving my body". The response to her article was electric and Lawley was invited to speak about thigh-gap prejudice on America's NBC Today. Not even Jane Austen is safe from the reach of the airbrush | Tanya Gold. You can win the war and lose the peace. This summer the activist Caroline Criado-Perez argued for a female to grace a banknote, as Elizabeth Fry was fired from the £5 note (did she get pregnant, is the obvious question) to be replaced by Winston Churchill, a man so garlanded with tributes I wonder his statues do not crack into alpha male dust. She did this – and it seems odd to type this in a room of one's own, where it is quiet – at great threat to her personal safety, as she was chased across the internet, and we saw the rise of rape threat as comment.
The Bank of England relented and chose Jane Austen (not a woman to inspire terror in conservatives, but she passed for a revolutionary in 1812 due to her ability to hold a pen) for the new £10 note. Not until 2017, it is true, but institutions turn slowly to the good. And that, I thought, was that; except there is a sequel. Women's Institute's new wave crafts its own politics in crochet and patchwork.
'It's always been a feminist organisation, but I think maybe when it started it was stealth feminism. " Caroline Brooks, 34, is a member of the Sewing Bee, which is a sub-group of the Shoreditch Sisters, which is at the vanguard of the Women's Institute new wave. They meet near Haggerston and they were established in 2007 by Jazz Domino Holly, who founded Sew Out of Control (a website where crafts meet rock'n'roll) and (the following information is not relevant to the WI) is the daughter of Joe Strummer.
It all sounds a bit cool. "I'm sick of us being labelled as being cool, because we're really not," Caroline says. "And I don't like the look on people's faces when they meet us and realise that," Madeline Colborn, 26, adds. They sew, but they also knit (at Knit and Natter), and cycle (with Radiant Riders), and taste beer (Swig for Victory). They have a radio show on Hoxton Radio. "I met the Shoreditch Sisters at an event," says Martha. "I'm anti-consumerist, not pro-thrift. I'm a woman who models men's clothes. But this isn't about gender | Casey Legler. I am a model. I model men's clothes. The biological roulette made me female. I was the first woman to be signed to the men's board at Ford Models. I was invited earlier this week to speak at a conference for business executives at a "trend school" – the topic: gender.
I declined – not for lack of desire to share my experience, strength and hope in some helpful way. But I was rather offended by the notion of being so removed from reality as to require a school for trends, and repulsed at the blatant attempt to co-opt and commodify culture for business profit over participation and engagement with it. I also knew that there would be no room for me to break the news: this is not about gender. So, corporate America, this article is for you. The contemporary cultural landscape supports a larger interpretation than the one we currently have, of female-masculinity and masculine-femininity. And why should you care about this? This is about making space, making room and making things better. Migrants for whom the Sahara proved a graveyard started out in hope | Nadifa Mohamed. Ninety-two corpses have been found in the Niger desert; mothers with braided hair and infants strapped to their backs, children with Qur'anic boards tucked under their arms, old men in prayer caps and long robes.
They died sometime in October but their remains have only been discovered now, threading the route to a well that some were only a short distance from reaching. They had been buried already, in the sand, far from the villages in which they had names and their personalities were known. The desert that always encircled their world has finally consumed their dreams and their bodies. Some say they were trying to reach Algeria to beg on city streets, others that Europe was their destination. What can be said is that their desire to leave Niger was strong enough to force them into the Sahara without adequate supplies or any way to call for help.
The migrants I know also have a courage that I lack, born from having life offer you nothing but what you take yourself. When a woman says she's not feminist, we can do better than shout her down | Ruby Tandoh. "Absolutely not: I definitely wouldn't call myself a feminist," began Angela Epstein on Newsnight on Tuesday. Answering a question from presenter Emily Maitlis about whether she'd describe herself as a feminist, the journalist and broadcaster offered up a wistful eulogy to the ghosts of feminism past and bemoaned the deterioration of the movement. Apparently one woman under the king's horse was more than enough to secure feminist victory for all time. Women, she reminded us, now have the vote! Some women have even got the vote, a career and shiny hair. This is great news, but someone really ought to pass it on to the "grumpy women in bad clothes" who, according to Epstein, have bastardised feminism and committed the even graver offence of being poorly coiffed in the process.
There's no need to defend feminism from tired arguments such as this. Germany is the first European country to recognize a third gender. Is lesbian sex real sex? Photo by Sergey Sukhorukov/iStock/Thinkstock Heterosexuals are simultaneously fascinated by and clueless about lesbian sex. "So, what do you do, exactly?" At some point in her life, pretty much any lesbian will be asked this question. Lurking behind this query is a host of assumptions about what constitutes "real sex" and what a "real woman" sexually desires. Sexual agency—the ability to make decisions about what you like to do sexually and then act upon them—has historically been denied to women.
There are many ways people, including straight people, have and enjoy sex. This very limited definition of sex prevents people from recognizing lesbian sex as real sex. The problem here is not pornography or television. Confusing pornography—or any depictions of sex in entertainment— with reality can lead straight as well as LGBT people to have unrealistic expectations of what sex looks like and feels like.
This "innocuous" violence is embedded in the idea of virginity. Morelikebabedylan: superseventies: 'Disco... STUCK IN THE GREY - On language: A note to the media | Archer Magazine. Guest blogger Teddy Cook was invited by Archer to blog on the media's use of language. THE TRANS* EXPERIENCE is as diverse as the population it represents. Remember this: we aren't all 'trapped in the wrong body', we aren't all desperate for diagnosis and surgery and hormones. We aren't all connected to your ideal of what the world needs to look like in order to be 'normal'.
Identity is a thread that can draw us together or pull us apart, like a tug-o-war. A popular idea of being trans* is that we are in a state of movement. I have always been diverse in my gender. Oh how I tried, but oh how I failed. A quick aside, my gender and my sexuality are not part of the same thing. So I didn't move from one place to another place.
Now, a man, apparently. Yet my friends who know that this medical intervention isn't for them – I honour their space and hold them as my brothers and sisters. On the notion of 'passing'. So for my people who don't, won't or can't… what about them? Why Instagram Censored My Body | Petra Collins. I wasn't shocked at the reaction I received from my t-shirt. I'm used to being told by society that I must regulate my body to fit the norm. I'm used to the fact that images of unaltered women are seen as unacceptable. I've taught myself to ignore it (as much as I can) and through the Internet (via sites like ROOKIE) and social media platforms (like Instagram and Facebook) I've been able to freely share images and start discussions about these issues. Recently, I had my Instagram account deleted. I did nothing that violated the terms of use.
I'm used to seeing female bodies perfected and aspects concealed in the media (i.e., in hair removal ads for women, hair is NEVER shown). I'm used to seeing cover after cover featuring stories about a popular celebrity being fat-shamed during pregnancy. If the Internet mimics real life, then there is no doubt that real life can mimic it. Petra Collins is a Toronto-born artist, photographer and writer. This piece first appeared on Oystermag.com.

Q: (1) Why does it not recognize this is a palindrome & (2) how do I have it print the original input WITH the spaces? I've searched all over to try to answer my own questions, but I'm hitting a wall here. I've been working on this same exercise for three days and getting frustrated, hence my very first post! This is a school assignment, but I really want to understand why this isn't working. When I use input "bob" it returns "bob is a palindrome" as expected. When I input "bobby" it returns "bobby is not a palindrome" as expected. All good there. It took me forever to figure out how to remove spaces from my input when using the sentence "never odd or even" but I managed to do that successfully, too. But here's the rub: (1) even after the spaces are removed, it seems to think that "neveroddoreven" is NOT a palindrome - why? What am I missing? Additionally, and this is probably a stupid question (but this is my first foray into programming and I'm a total newbie), how do I get it to output the original userInput before I removed the spaces in the final output? Currently the below code outputs "neveroddoreven is not a palindrome". Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me.
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   string userInput;
   int startInput;

   bool isPalindrome = true;

   getline (cin, userInput);
   startInput = userInput.length();

for(int i = 0; i<userInput.length(); i++)
   if(userInput[i] == ' ') userInput.erase(i,1);

for (int i = 0; i<(startInput / 2); i++){
   if (userInput[i] != userInput[(startInput -1 ) -i])
   isPalindrome = false;
}

if (isPalindrome){
   cout << userInput << " is a palindrome" << endl;
}
else {
   cout << userInput << " is not a palindrome" << endl;
}

   return 0;
}

A: After you erase all the spaces, startInput no longer refers to the actual length of the string. That means this comparison:
if (userInput[i] != userInput[(startInput -1 ) -i])

is not comparing the correct characters.
You can fix this by adding this line:
startInput = userInput.length();

after doing the erasing.
Here's a demo.

Also, in your erase code, this comparison i<userInput.length() is not a good idea, since you are comparing a signed and unsigned value. Also, you don't erase adjacent spaces. A simpler way to do that would be:
userInput.erase(std::remove(std::begin(userInput), std::end(userInput), ' '),
                std::end(userInput));

A: As others have pointed out, the problem is that startInput doesn't take into account that you erase some spaces. So move the the line startInput = userInput.length(); so that it is just after the erase-loop.
An alternative solution that will not change the original input could be:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
   std::string userInput;
   std::string userInputNoSpace;  // Use one more string
   int startInput;

   bool isPalindrome = true;

   std::getline(std::cin, userInput);

   // Copy all characters that are NOT space to the new string
   for (auto c : userInput)
   {
      if (c != ' ')
      {
        userInputNoSpace += c;
      }
   }
   startInput = userInputNoSpace.length();

   for (int i = 0; i<(startInput / 2); i++)
   {
       if (userInputNoSpace[i] != userInputNoSpace[(startInput -1 ) -i])
       {
           isPalindrome = false;
           break;
       }
   }

   if (isPalindrome)
   {
      std::cout << userInput << " is a palindrome" << std::endl;
   }
   else
   {
      std::cout << userInput << " is not a palindrome" << std::endl;
   }

   return 0;
}

Input:
never odd or even

Output:
never odd or even is a palindrome

She enthusiastically shares her experiences through her journalistic work, writing about international travel, cars, performing arts, and news in general. Darina's work can be found in several international publications. Hello! I'm Darina Logvinova. My life is full of interesting events. And I want to share this with you. My passion is to travel. Perhaps there is nothing more surprising and impressive than discovering new countries, new cultures, cities, uniquely beautiful places. Travel is life. This is what always gives strength, energy, and desire to go forward. It's so hard to wake up early for work, but it's so easy - to the airport or to the train =) I am also a fan of psychology. I believe that it is impossible to have a harmonious relationship with yourself and with the people around you, without understanding anything about our inner world. Many world-famous authors set out their thoughts in books, they are very smart and talented people who share their knowledge and experience. There is nothing easier than buying a book and learning something new from the geniuses of psychology. Our feelings and emotions are very multifaceted. We all perceive the world in different ways and we need to be able to respect and understand this. Everything that we wish will certainly come true, you need to be able to dream about it correctly. The universe does not limit anyone. It is full of supplies for each of us. Psychology is a very important science for humanity. The more the world develops, the more people understand this. The more we are tolerant to ourselves and to all people, the more good there will be in our lives and in the whole world. Development is the driving force behind humanity. We simply cannot afford to stand still, otherwise, our life loses all meaning. Every day, discovering something new for ourselves, we move forward towards our goals.

Yes, theatergoers, there is more to Mitch Albom than Tuesdays with Morrie. The noted newspaper columnist and sportswriter, whose compiled chats with his old college professor, Morrie Schwartz, ended up selling 14 million copies and spending four years on The New York Times bestseller list, is also a playwright. Of course, Albom turned Tuesdays into a play (which reached off-Broadway in 2002), but he also premiered two comedies at Michigan's Purple Rose Theatre Company, one of which, 2004's Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, proved a big moneymaker for the venue.
The play has had its share of regional productions, but the first New York staging arrived on Long Island on October 27 and will run until November 17, courtesy of the Studio Theatre in Lindenhurst. Marian Waller, who directed Requiem for a Heavyweight and last season's Self Help for the company, helms the Albom comedy, which—as the title promises—follows a hapless pair of duck hunters who believe they've accidentally shot an angel out of the sky. Soon the tabloids get hold of the story, and the media circus begins.
Studio Theatre owner Robert O'Neill told Pulse that Duck Hunter makes a natural fit for his 139-seat venue because of the play's "good storyline and intimacy. We thought it was a strong script that would work well with our space." He also noted that the company, which staged Albom's And the Winner Is two years back, was happy to offer another comedy in its quite light-hearted current season.
"We try to watch society in terms of economic trends," O'Neill pointed out. "We love doing heavy, theatrical pieces, but at the end of the day, our audience wants to be entertained right now. They want to walk out with a smile on their face, and this just happened to fit that profile."
Other shows in this Studio season include The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, two Norm Foster comedies, and the funny suspenser, Murder at the Howard Johnson's. "We haven't done a drama the past two seasons," O'Neill sighed, "but for the last show of next season, we're gonna throw one in."
Coming To Broadway This Month
The Anarchist
Patti LuPone plays the warden and Debra Winger (making her Broadway debut) plays a prisoner angling for parole in David Mamet's new drama. Previews start November 13 at the Lyceum Theatre.
Another Broadway airing for David Mamet's masterpiece about real estate salesmen from hell—and in their own hell. Al Pacino, who played the dapper Ricky in the great film version, now plays the desperate Shelley on Broadway at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.
Fight or play the violin? That's the dilemma facing Joe Bonaparte in Clifford Odets' drama, receiving its first Broadway revival since 1952. A de-Monked Tony Shalhoub plays Joe's disapproving dad at the Belasco Theatre.
The Performers
An aging porn star meets an up and cummer in David West Read's new comedy at the Longacre Theatre, featuring Cheyenne Jackson and everybody's favorite Fonz, Henry Winkler.

Why do little kids ask to hear the same story over and over?
Flack, Z. & Horst, J., 6 Jul 2017, In: Frontiers for Young Minds. 5, 30


The link between low income and low academic attainment is greater in the UK than almost any other developed nation. Children eligible for free school meals are less likely to get good GCSEs and go on to higher education. This makes it more likely they will struggle throughout their lives, widening social inequality. It's a cycle Teach First is determined to break.
Since launching in 2003, the charity has tirelessly recruited hundreds of people to its teacher training programme to address the shortage of quality teachers in the UK. Many of those young people have, through Teach First's corporate partnerships, gained jobs at companies like PwC and Accenture and are using their influence to improve education from positions of power in the business and political world.
They have helped transform the education of over a million children. But, to reach a day when no child's future is limited by their background, there is so much more to be done.
This was an opportunity to develop a campaign that would seek out potential teachers and leaders in a far more targeted, digital, and personalised way.

While roll off dumpsters are typically left on place, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it feasible for sanitation professionals to eliminate garbage and crap for multiple dwellings and businesses in the area at reasonable costs.
Choosing a dumpster size demands some educated guesswork. It is often difficult for individuals to gauge the sizes that they need for roofing jobs because, practically, they do not know just how much stuff their roofs contain.
There are, however, some basic guidelines you'll be able to follow to make an excellent choice. If you are removing a commercial roof, then you will probably require a dumpster that gives you at least 40 square yards.
Many folks order one size larger than they believe their projects will require since they would like to prevent the extra expense and hassle of replacing complete dumpsters which weren't large enough.
Determining where to place your dumpster can have a large impact regarding how fast you complete projects. The most effective option is to choose a location that's near the worksite. It is important, nevertheless, to consider whether this location is a safe option. Make sure that the area is free of barriers that could trip folks while they carry heavy debris.
A lot of folks choose to place dumpsters in their own drives. This really is a handy option because it usually means you can avoid requesting the city for a license or permit. In the event you have to place the dumpster on the street, then you need to contact your local government to ask whether you need to get a license. Although a lot of municipalities will let folks keep dumpsters on the road for short levels of time, others are going to ask you to complete some paperwork. Following these rules can help you avoid fines that may make your project more costly.
Most residential areas permit rolloff dumpsters. When you own a driveway, then you can certainly normally park the dumpster there so you do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic issues by putting it on the street.
Some projects, though, will necessitate setting the dumpster on the road. If this applies to you personally, then you should talk to your city to learn whether you need to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential street for a short period of time. If you believe you will need to keep it on the street for several weeks or months, however, you might need to get a permit.
When you rent a short-term dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But should you'd like your waste recycled, you may have to really go about it in a somewhat different fashion. Waste in most temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so large and carry so much stuff.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your endeavor, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental firms in Granbury have a wide range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
In case you'd like to recycle, find out if the business you're working with uses single stream recycling (you do not need to sort the substance) or in case you'll need to organize the recyclable stuff into different containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will make a difference in the total number of containers you should rent.
It is hard to beat a roll off dumpster when you have a sizable project that will create a great deal of debris. Most rental companies include dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, in order to avoid additional fees. Roll off dumpsters generally have time restrictions because businesses have to get them back for other customers. This is really a possible drawback if you're not great at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster totes in many cases are convenient for small occupations with free deadlines. In the event you do not need a lot of room for debris, then the bags could function nicely for you. Many businesses are also pleased to allow you to maintain the totes for as long as you want. That makes them useful for longer projects.
You can fill your dumpster as high as you like, as long as you really do not load it higher than the sides of the container. Over-filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or big-boned dumpsters are just not safe, and firms will not take dangerous loads to be able to protect drivers and passengers on the road.
In certain regions, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. In case your load is too high, it will not be able to be tarped so you'll have to remove a number of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may lead to additional fees if it demands you to keep the dumpster for a longer amount of time. Remember to keep your load no higher than the sides of the dumpster, and you will be fine.
What if I need my dumpster in Granbury picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Granbury, part of your rental agreement contains a stated duration of time you are permitted to use the container. You normally base this time on how long you think your project might take. The bigger the job, the longer you will need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental firms in Granbury give you a rate for a particular amount of days. If you exceed that quantity of days, you'll pay an additional fee daily. In case the job goes more quickly than expected, you might be ended with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
2. Give you and the rental company lots of time. It's best to phone ahead at least a week or two before you want the dumpster. Should you attempt to schedule an appointment earlier than that, you might have a restricted collection.
The cost to rent a dumpster in Granbury depends on several variables such as the size you need and how long you need to keep it to complete your job. Normally, you can expect to spend more cash for larger dumpsters. Keeping the dumpster for a longer amount of time will also increase the cost.
Getting estimates is among the most effective ways to compare dumpster prices to be sure you get a fair deal. Since some companies may charge extra fees, it's very important to be sure the price quote includes all of the equipment and services which you need.
Typically, renting a dumpster in Granbury is an affordable way to remove debris from a construction, remodeling, or clean out job. As long as you get price quotes in order to compare your choices, you need to realize you could get an excellent deal on a dumpster rental in Granbury.

Q: Strongly uniform infinite binary strings For $A\subseteq \omega$ we let the lower and upper density be defined as $$\mu^-(A):= \lim\inf_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap n|}{n+1} \text{ and } \mu^+(A):= \lim\sup_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap n|}{n+1}$$ respectively.
Let $s:\omega\to\{0,1\}$ be an infinite binary string, $n\in\omega\setminus\{0\}$  a positive integer and $t\in\{0,1\}^n$ a finite binary string of length $n$. Then we define the set of starting points of $t$ in $s$ by $$\text{start}(t, s) = \{k\in \omega: (\forall i\in n)\; t(i) = s(k+i)\}.$$ We say that $s$ is uniform for $t\in\{0,1\}^n$ if $$\mu^-\big(\text{start}(t,s)\big) = \mu^+\big(\text{start}(t,s)\big) = 1/2^n.$$
(The $1/2^n$ part is motivated by the fact that there are $2^n$ binary strings of length $n$.) We say that $s:\omega\to\{0,1\}$ is strongly uniform if for all positive integers $n$ and for all $t\in\{0,1\}^n$ we have that $s$ is uniform for $t$.
It is not clear to me whether strongly uniform infinite binary strings exist. A candidate could be the Champernowne  binary string which is obtained by concatenating the binary representations of the integers: $$0\; 1 \; 10\; 11\; 100\; 101\;\ldots.$$
Question. Is the the Champernowne binary string strongly uniform? If not, is there a strongly uniform infinite binary string?

A: Yes, the Champernowne binary string is normal (or strongly uniform, in your terms); see also here.
Almost all infinite binary string are normal, in the sense that the set of the corresponding real numbers in $[0,1]$ is of Lebesgue measure $1$.

This infographic belongs to the evaluation report on eHealth objectives for 2016.The evaluation of objectives by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) forms a special edition of the eHealth monitor, a study by Nictiz and the NIVEL Institute that charts the availability and use of eHealth in the Netherlands every year. The next (main) edition of the eHealth monitor is expected in october. That edition will look not only at the use of eHealth among healthcare users in general (Dutch people aged 18 and above) but also at the use of eHealth by healthcare providers (including doctors and nurses) and the possibilities made available by healthcare providers to their patients. This report on objectives focuses only on those applications mentioned in the ministerial objectives and examines three special groups of healthcare users, being chronically ill patients, frail elderly, and people receiving care and support at home.

Q: angular 6 unittest, observable of() is synchronous had to delete a previous question in case you are wondering, to reformulate:
I have this component set up:
@Component({
  selector: 'app-async',
  templateUrl: './async.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./async.component.scss']
})
export class AsyncComponent implements OnInit {

  title$: Observable<string>;
  constructor(private stringService: AsyncStringService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.title$ = this.stringService.getString();
  }
}

where AsyncStringService.getString is this:
getString(): Observable<string>

and the template for the component is:

{{title$ | async}}

I want to test the components behaviour with jasmines async features, but my tests also work if I do not take any async continuation into account:
describe('AsyncComponent', () => {
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<AsyncComponent>;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ AsyncComponent ],
      providers: [ AsyncStringService ]
    })
    .compileComponents().then(() =>
      fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AsyncComponent));

  }));

  it('should not have resolved observable immedeatly', () => {
    const spy = spyOn(fixture.debugElement.injector.get(AsyncStringService), 'getString')
      .and.returnValue(of( 'value 1'));
    fixture.detectChanges();
    expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#title')).nativeElement.innerText).toEqual('value 1');
  });

  it('should have all observables resolved in whenStable', async(() => {
    const spy = spyOn(fixture.debugElement.injector.get(AsyncStringService), 'getString')
      .and.returnValue(of( 'value 1'));
    fixture.detectChanges();
    fixture.whenStable().then(() => {
      fixture.detectChanges();
      expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#title')).nativeElement.innerText).toEqual('value 1');
    });
  }));

  it('should have all observables resolved when ticking', fakeAsync(() => {
    const spy = spyOn(fixture.debugElement.injector.get(AsyncStringService), 'getString')
      .and.returnValue(of( 'value 1'));
    fixture.detectChanges();
    tick();

    expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#title')).nativeElement.innerText).toEqual('value 1');
  }));
});

all three tests succeed, I want the spy to return an observable that fails the first test, as it does not take asynchronicity into account.
Also, any hints if I use these features (async / fakeAsync) incorrectly are appreciated!
edit.:
I tried of('value 1').pipe(delay(100)), which causes all tests to fail. I assume this is somehow connected to the async pipe not being seen by the async/fakeAsync flows?
Edit.:
I got the synchronous task to fail, while done() and async() pass by returning timer(10).pipe(map(() => 'value 1')) from my spy.
the fake async test however behaves strange:
it passes if I check the observable values in subscribers, even if I do not call tick() at all - so no time should pass and the time should never emit a value.
and calling tick(100), which should make the time(10) to emit, does NOT cause the value to land in the template outside the subscribers.
 it('should have all observables resolved when ticking the appropriate amount of time', fakeAsync(() => {
    const spy = spyOn(fixture.debugElement.injector.get(AsyncStringService), 'getString')
      .and.returnValue(timer(10).pipe(map(() => 'value 1')));
    fixture.componentInstance.ngOnInit();
    fixture.componentInstance.title$.subscribe(value => expect(value).toEqual('value 1'));
    fixture.componentInstance.title$.subscribe(() => {
      fixture.detectChanges();
      expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#title')).nativeElement.innerText).toEqual('value 1');
    });
    tick(100); // this does nothing
    fixture.detectChanges();
    expect(fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('#title')).nativeElement.innerText).toEqual('value 1');
    discardPeriodicTasks();
  }));

A: I got my mocked observables to be async by passing in the async scheduler as the 2nd parameter to of():
import {async as _async} from 'rxjs/scheduler/async';

var stub$ = of(stub, _async);


This command creates a suite of test cases for a given class name, and each of the classes in its subdirectories. Each test class will contain a set of hook methods for pre-test setup, post-test teardown, and so on. The test class will also contain one test method for each public method on the subject class.
If you issue make-tests Vendor_Foo_Baz, the command will create one Test_Vendor_Foo_Baz test class file.
However, if you issue make-tests Vendor_Foo, then the command will create three test class files: Test_Vendor_Foo, Test_Vendor_Foo_Baz, and Test_Vendor_Foo_Dib.
Finally, if you want to create a test for just one class without descending into its subdirectories, pass the --only option.

Unfortunately Isi was not in town when this post was created, so I went to breakfast with a friend. A breakfast that turned to brunch, because there were many dishes to try. And also it was really nice to chat with the team of Salonplafond, who invited us to try some of their specialties.
Months ago, Isi and I went to Salonplafond to try their avocado bread (which was recommended by our friend) and we loved it. It was perfectly seasoned, fresh and portion wise very generous – we got a whole avocado on the crispy, delicious bread. So this time, my friend and I had to order the avocado, along with a few other sorts – beetroot-goat curd bread, pumpkin- Buffalo mozzarella and Eggs Florentine bread. All four were super delicious, simple and yet so complex in taste. It is really hard to pick one favorite, but I would say I loved the most pumpkin-mozzarella and avocado bread. Although Eggs Florentine (poached eggs, sauteed spinach and Hollandaise sauce) is really close to them. The bread with beet root was great, but since it is more on the "healthier" side, it has to get the last spot. Not that I don't like healthy food, it is just that I prefer creamy textures.
What I really appreciate about food at Salonplafond, besides the seasoning (which was so far always perfect for my taste), is the usage of high quality ingredients and fair portions. I am not a heavy eater, but I do prefer to get a decent portion and myself decide how much will I eat, instead of getting two small bites and leaving almost hungry. So in case your appetite is bigger, I would say that you will be very happy at Salonplafond.
Sophisticated, spacious, modern, tastefully decorated with numerous gorgeous details, Salonplafond is a place that inspires. But the atmosphere and visual experience wouldn't be enough without the perfect flavors and service (always friendly whenever I visited, and I did many times). Thinking through, I would even say that Salonplafond was my favorite breakfast place in Vienna in 2016.
I warmly recommend you to stop by and if you do, let me know how did you like it!

Trump Extinction Plan Guts Endangered Species Act
Posted on August 13, 2019 by dougdraper | Leave a comment
Despite Overwhelming Public Opposition, Trump Administration Moves Forward on Plans to Roll Back Critical Endangered Species Protections
"We are in the midst of an unprecedented extinction crisis, yet the Trump Administration is steamrolling our most effective wildlife protection law. This Administration seems set on damaging fragile ecosystems by prioritizing industry interests over science. We intend to fight these regulatory rollbacks so that we can preserve the natural world for generations to come." — Rebecca Riley, Legal Director of the Nature Program, Natural Resources Defense Council
An Urgent Message from the Sierra Club, one of the world's oldest, grassroots environmental organizations
Posted August 13th, 2019 on Niagara At Large
(A Foreword Note from Doug Draper, Niagara At Large –
If Canadians do not believe Trump's ongoing war on our planet does not affect us, we are sorely mistaken.
Any significant decline or extinction of animal species on this continent as a result of his (I would call them criminally negligent) cutting and gutting of his country's environmental protection programs and regulations will have a profoundly tragic impact on us all, and it is another act of hostility on our children and grandchildren, and their future.
And let's not forget, Ontario's Ford government is also moving to roll back endangered species protections in this province as a way of offering up welfare to its friends and supporters in the development industry. )
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This past August 12th, against a backdrop of recent reports of global mass extinction, the Trump administration released final regulations weakening the Endangered Species Act, the nation's most effective tool in saving wildlife from extinction.
The Trump Extinction Plan would gut critical endangered species protections by making it much more difficult to extend protections to threatened species, delaying lifesaving action until a species' population is potentially impossible to save; making it more difficult to protect polar bears, coral reefs, and other species that are impacted by the effects of climate change; allowing economic factors to be analyzed when deciding if a species should be saved; and making it easier for companies to build roads, pipelines, mines, and other industrial projects in critical habitat areas that are essential to imperiled species' survival.
These changes come in the wake of tremendous public opposition to weakening the protections of the Endangered Species Act. After the proposed rules were announced, more than 800,000 public comments were submitted opposing the changes. Last fall, 105 Members of Congress and 34 U.S. Senators sent letters to Trump's Department of the Interior to protest the harmful rollbacks. Ten states and the District of Columbia are also on record opposing the weakening of the Endangered Species Act as are more than 30 tribal nations.
The Endangered Species Act has been extremely effective; more than 99 percent of animals, plants and insects protected by the law have been saved from extinction. Endangered Species Act protection has saved some of the nation's most celebrated wildlife including the bald eagle, Florida manatee, American gray wolf and humpback whale. A 2018 survey found that four out of five Americans support the Endangered Species Act and just one in ten say they oppose it.
In response groups issued the following responses:
"Undermining this popular and successful law is a major step in the wrong direction as we face the increasing challenges of climate change and its effects on wildlife. The Endangered Species Act works; our communities– both natural and human– have reaped the benefits. This safety net must be preserved." — Lena Moffitt, Our Wild America Campaign Senior Director, Sierra Club
"The US Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to rescind these longstanding regulations eliminates many essential conservation tools that have protected imperiled species and their habitats for decades. With this drastic revision of core components of the ESA, the current administration is favoring industry at the expense of vulnerable wildlife. Increased threats from development and a changing climate necessitate the strong and full enforcement of the ESA now more than ever." — Cathy Liss, president of the Animal Welfare Institute
"The Endangered Species Act protects ocean wildlife such as the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, which faces a multitude of threats. The genius of the Endangered Species Act is its recognition that not only do we need to protect vulnerable species, but also allow them to recover so they no longer need the protection of the Act. The Trump Administration's new regulations allow federal agencies to water down key elements of the law, putting the North Atlantic right whale and other endangered wildlife at greater risk of extinction." –– Lara Levison, Senior Director, Federal Policy for Oceana
"It is particularly egregious that the Trump Administration is steamrolling through unpopular rules that were issued by a Secretary of Interior who is under multiple investigations. Losing our biodiversity isn't something that any American can afford. We don't live in an enclosed man-made bubble–our health and safety, the health and safety of our children and grandchildren, our access to clean air and water, actually depends on biodiversity." — Leda Huta, Executive Director of the Endangered Species Coalition
"The US Fish & Wildlife Service's decision to dismantle further the Endangered Species Act in favor of special interest groups will decrease critical protections and add increased pressure to species and entire ecosystems causing immeasurable death and destruction to wildlife and their habitat. The ESA has proven to be the most important law to preserve wildlife, and the American public must fight to uphold those critical protections." – Angela Grimes, CEO of Born Free USA
"Trump and Bernhardt's rollbacks undermine the very purpose of the Endangered Species Act which is to prevent extinction, recover imperiled animals and plants, and protect the ecosystems on which they depend. These rollbacks are a gift to their pals in industry that squarely violates federal law, which is why we're going to court." –– Drew Caputo, Earthjustice Vice-President of Litigation for Lands, Wildlife, and Oceans.
"At a time when nature is facing unprecedented challenges from a changing climate and the increasing sprawl of the human footprint on native habitats, weakening the Endangered Species Act is the last thing we should do. The ESA is a law that has worked brilliantly well for many decades because it gets the politics out of the way and requires all decisions affecting the fate of rare and imperiled plants and animals to be based solely on science instead. The proposal to tinker with the law that saved species ranging from the bald eagle to the black-footed ferret to the peregrine falcon is a cynical move designed to permit the extinction of the Earth's rich diversity of life." — Erik Molvar, Executive Director of Western Watersheds Project
"As the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), releases a report detailing the deteriorating state of ecosystem health and the predicted mass loss of biodiversity, the Trump Administration is attempting to weaken Federal ESA protections that remain essential to facilitate species and habitat protection. Human population growth and conversion of natural habitats has led to environmental change unparalleled in history. We must do everything we can to maintain healthy populations of plants and animals in a time of rapid disappearance. Our very lives may depend on us paying our debts to the land and seeking balance between a growing human population and the diminishing resources of our planet." –Chris Bachman, Wildlife Program Director, The Lands Council
"Threatened and endangered fish, wildlife and plants in our national parks already face habitat changes and impacts of a climate crisis that is accelerating each year. Instead of working with Congress and states to better protect and restore wildlife as the climate changes, the Trump administration is reinterpreting the Endangered Species Act to weaken protections. The National Parks Conservation Association strongly opposes these final rules." — Bart Melton, Wildlife Director for the National Parks Conservation Association.
"Weakening the Endangered Species Act is yet another example of the Trump administration's careless disregard for our nation's public lands and wildlife, and a blatant giveaway to extractive industries. It is especially egregious considering the recent U.N. report indicating that nearly 1 million species are threatened with extinction. We need to strengthen and fully fund the Act, not tear it down. We won't stand for it, and we will fight back to protect our natural heritage." –-Taylor Jones, endangered species advocate, WildEarth Guardians
"The most comprehensive assessment of biodiversity ever completed was released earlier this year and shows that more than one million species are at risk of extinction. These species are inextricably linked to our own well-being, livelihoods, economies, food security, and overall survival. Gutting key protections of the Endangered Species Act is precisely the wrong action for the U.S. to be taking at this critical point in time. We must protect and conserve vulnerable species so that we may all thrive together." – Beth Allgood, U.S. Country Director, International Fund for Animal Welfare

The bug in 5.8.x is that the /$re/sm would incorrectly apply the /sm modifiers to $re. This made the code happen to work, but for the wrong reason. What was especially tricky about finding my bug was that in 5.10.0, the call to /$re/sm ignores the /sm, but doesn't tell you that.
After some back and forth on p5p, a patch was submitted that gave the warning about the ignored /sm flags, but alas, Perl 5.10 was already out. It wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been the day AFTER it was released.
So, lesson learned: Test your code against new release candidates of Perl, both for your code's sake, AND for Perl's sake.
And y'know, now that I think of it, this is probably a great policy for Perl::Critic just waiting to happen. I wonder how many other people are doing their regexes the wrong way, too.

Stokowski conducts the New York Philharmonic
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony #6
Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky: Roméo & Juliet
Wolfgang Mozart: Symphony #35 "Haffner"
Thomas Jefferson Scott: From the Sacred Harp
Jaromír Weinberger: Polka & Fugue from Schwanda the Bagpiper
New York Philharmonic Orchestra/Leopold Stokowski
CALA CACD0537
The Leopold Stokowski Society has now completed issuing all of the recordings Stokowski made with the New York Philharmonic between 1947 and 1949. In addition they have added rare and valuable items from live performances. Now if I could just get them to issue the U.S. première of Prokofieff's 6th Symphony with that band. (Hint, hint, Ed.)
Listening to this over the past few evenings I wonder why I don't listen to it a lot more. It is one of the best pieces of music I know. The first movement, alone, is so full of ideas from the surreal that it fits perfectly as movie music for a film on Moby Dick. This music was thought to be about the war, which had just ended but Vaughan Williams denied this vehemently. It is, however, certainly about the human spirit in a deeply troubling way. The saxophones add to the feeling of the absurd in life and while there are moments of great beauty like the rolling of the sea, even then a troubled soul shadows the flow. This particular performance cannot be compared to any other for many reasons, most importantly because Stokowski uses the original Scherzo, later revised by the composer.
The Tchaikovsky sounds particularly good. There is a full, deep bass sound that is so important to The Stokowski Sound. At the same time there is inner detail and a sense of perspective. Of course it has Stokowski's amended ending but, as the notes point out, there is some evidence that this is how Tchaikovsky wanted it to end, softly and sadly, not with some MGM finale. Stokowski made four recordings of this piece and frankly I think this may be the best of them. The New York Philharmonic produce a really rich sound. The soloists can be clearly heard and are, of course, the best around at that time.
In many respects the Mozart might be considered the jewel in this crown. It is a shame that Stokowski didn't record more Mozart. His performance is light and dances. The sound, whilst not as good as from the studio recordings, is transparent and solo details are delightful. This is as good as anything Bruno Walter did with the New York Philharmonic. It is a warm performance that brings out the humor and humanity in Mozart's music.
The other lagniappes are more than just filler. They are both light and 'accessible' though 'modern' music. The piece by Tom Scott was issued on a V disc from the Department of the Army. The Weinberger is a lively piece and the applause at the end is really a fitting touch to the whole disc.
Post Script: Stokowski first conducted Roméo & Juliet in Cincinnati, Ohio in an all-Tchaikovsky program in December of 1911 less than 20 years after the composer's death. Stokowski was 11 when Tchaikovsky died. In a way you could consider all of this disc 'modern' composers for Stokowski.

On Thursday, as he did every day, their mini-dachshund: Pokey, came to the bus stop with them.
The dog was not on a leash and the school van driver accidentally ran him over.
"I heard a yelp, I ran back and I saw my dog on the ground. I picked him up, he looked me in the eyes, he yelped one last time and he died in my arms," said Lamonica.
Asked if she was angry or blaming anyone, she said, "Myself. I blame myself."
While Lamonica said it was her fault for not holding on to her pet, YCN Transportation Company and its driver said they were devastated by the loss.
Knowing how much comfort the pup provided the autistic boy, they reached out to the family.
"They said, 'Don't worry about it, we'll pay for a dog, we'll get you a dog. We'll make sure you get the dog that you want that's right for your family,'" Lamonica said.
