A lasher is an ambulatory plant and often hostile. They can be found in the Wailing Caverns, Maraudon, Un'Goro Crater, and Dire Maul. Lashers are elementals in-game, but in lore they are just "plants".
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade introduced new lashers in Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, and the Botanica.
The lashers in Un'Goro Crater are known as bloodpetals and grow in several different varieties. They are all neutral except the Bloodpetal Pest which is friendly to Alliance players and hostile to Horde players.
Note that there are a number of mobs with lasher in their name, but are not the plant lashers. Some examples are Scorpid Tail Lashers and the hydras named Vorsha the Lasher and Trigore the Lasher.
"Orchid"-type lashers Edit
Mutated Root Lasher
An orchid lasher.
Another type of lasher (called "orchid lasher" in the files) is similar to other lashers, but with a particularly large flower. They are prevalent in the Botanica, Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, Sholazar Basin, Wintergrasp, and Emerald Dragonshrine.

REGULAR (UP) SEX IS ALWAYS HARMFUL
by Dr. Lawrence Wilson
© June 2017, L.D. Wilson Consultants, Inc.
All information in this article is for educational purposes only. It is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
Regular sex. This is the most common way that heterosexual people have sex. The theme of this article is that regular sex is not the preferred method. There is another method that is much gentler, and much healthier for both men and women.
Down sex. This is not well known on earth. The difference between it and regular sex are:
- It is much gentler
- It goes on for up to two hours.
- There is little movement of the penis.
- There are no orgasms
- The participants can be clothed
- The energy centers do not spin backwards
- There is much less blending between the man and the woman.
- Very powerful healing occurs with this method that does not occur with regular sex.
- Subtle energy moves more in a downward direction (from the head to the feet). With regular sex, subtle energy tends to move in an upward direction.
There are numerous problems with regular sex. Some affect both men and women, while others just affect women.
The reasons regular sex is harmful, while down sex is very healthful, are:
1. Disease. Contracting sexually transmitted diseases more easily (both men and women).
2. Fluid loss. Regular sex causes much greater loss of vital sexual fluid inboth men and women.
3. Physical trauma. There is usually some tearing and scarring of the vagina with regular sex. This does not occur with down sex, and does not occur in men because their sexual organs are less delicate.
4. Other danger (women only). Women normally go out of control a little with regular sex. This can easily turn to rape. With down sex, the woman can be fully clothed, which reduces the danger somewhat.
1. Embarrassment. Any time a woman disrobes completely, there is often some embarrassment. In contrast, with down sex a woman can remain fully clothed or almost so.
2. Sadness (mainly women). This is subtle, but is the result of all the problems in this article.
3. Little love. Regular sex is not as loving as down sex.
4. Opens the second center. Regular sex opens the second center on women. This is harmful if the woman is not married. She develops a look that says "I am available – come and get me."
ADDICTIVE FOR BOTH, AND DISEMPOWERING FOR WOMEN
1. Addiction to orgasms (both men and women). The orgasms of regular sex are powerful. They deplete nutrients and mix up the mind, and as a result are often addictive.
2. Disempowering. The reasons why regular sex is disempowering for women are:
a. Attachment. Regular sex attaches women to men much more than does down sex. Men do not attach to women during sex nearly as much.
b. Out of control. Women easily go out of control during regular sex when they have orgasms. This does not occur with men.
c. Physical position. Women are usually pinned down by the much larger and heavier male body. Also, this causes women to be often passive participants in regular sex, which is also disempowering.
1. Fluid loss and orgasms. Both men and women become somewhat mixed up by the fluid loss and the orgasms of regular sex. The orgasms spin all seven of the energy centers in the wrong direction and slow down the spin of the three centers or dantiens.
These problems work against personal creativity and cause other problems for both men and women. These problems do not exist with down sex.
2. Attachment. Regular sex attaches women to men in a powerful way. This tends to reduce the women's creativity. The problem occurs less with down sex.
Regular sex teaches both men and women that men are in charge of sex, and women are mainly sex objects. It teaches that the women are also basically passive when it comes to sex.
DISCONNECTS MEN AND WOMEN
Too much stimulation of the first energy center that occurs with regular sex damages the seventh energy center and causes both men and women to lose their connection with the Holy Spirit or Higher Self.
1. Do down sex or avoid all sex, but do not do regular sex.
2. Follow a complete nutritional balancing program to replenish nutrients and balance the body.
3. Do the vaginal coffee implant or stuffing procedure to help eliminate infection and other effects of regular sex.
4. Perhaps do other vaginal healing such as peroxide baths and massage to reverse damage to the vagina. For details, read The Vagina.

Produksi Ujaran Siswa Autis
Studi Kasus di SMA Lazuardi GIS Depok
This study is aimed to determine the speech production in students with autism at Lazuardi GIS Senior High School, Depok. The study is focused on speech production in students with autism in order to have knowledge of the structure and the type of sentences given by students with autism. This research was conducted in Lazuardi GIS Senior High School, Depok in August 2016. This study is formed with a qualitative case study method. The data of this study were collected by conducting a direct observation of speech production activity in students with autism. This involved multifaceted interviews for studies conducted to teachers, friends, and families of students with autism. To be included, all findings are recorded on a sheet of field observations and recording devices. The data for this study are analyzed in the form of the table and also had a described analysis. The speech result of students with autism had been qualified to be a complete sentence consists of a subject and predicate. In addition, the study was found that speech does not have an element of predicate as forms an incomplete sentence. Out of 59 utterances that have been collected, the study had most commonly found utterance directive, as total 32 utterances. As many as 20 representative utterance speech in total, and the study also found the 7 commissive speeches. Moreover, the study did not found the form of expressive and declarative speeches. This is because the students with autism are not able to control their basic emotions in speech production. This resulted in the conclusion, that students with autism utterances produced by the age of 18 years old has become a communicative speech, in which contained messages that could be understood by the other speaker even though the sentence is not complete.

Series Hybrid vs. Parallel Hybrid
April 18, 2012 by Ron Averill
Hybrid refers to something that is made up of two or more diverse ingredients. The goal in combining them is to capture and merge the advantages of each ingredient, while overcoming any disadvantages. But ingredients can be combined in many ways, resulting in considerable variation in performance depending on how they are combined.
In optimization search algorithms, as with electric vehicles, there are two main categories of hybrids: series and parallel. To better understand the basic
differences between the series and parallel hybrid approaches, let's consider a simple illustration.
Passing batonSuppose a team of people needs to carry an object a long distance. In a series hybrid strategy, one person will carry the object for a while, and then someone else will take the load and carry it a bit further. This "tag team" approach continues until the required distance is covered. This series approach might work well if the object is lightweight and small. But if the object is heavy or awkwardly shaped, then it will be difficult for one person to carry it even a short distance, if he or she can move it at all.
RowersIn this situation, it is clearly more effective for two or more people to carry the object together in a parallel hybrid approach. By working together in a well-coordinated effort, the load can be shared in a way that allows each participant to contribute to the task. Each contribution, however small, reduces the load on other team members, allowing the group to carry the load faster and further with less fatigue. Drivers of horse-drawn wagons, dog sleds and Christmas sleighs discovered this truth a long time ago.
Series hybrid optimization
Turning our attention to optimization, a series hybrid algorithm is developed by starting with one search algorithm, and then switching to another one (using a different strategy than that of the first algorithm) to continue the search. There is no limit to the number of different search strategies that can be used in this sequential manner.
Typically, a series hybrid algorithm begins with a search method that is good at global exploration, such as a Genetic Algorithm, and ends with a local refinement strategy, such as a gradient-based algorithm. Various other search methods can be sandwiched between these two. On some problems, this type of series optimization algorithm has been shown to perform reasonably well compared to monolithic (single-strategy) algorithms, when an appropriate set of algorithms and tuning parameters has been chosen.
How well a series hybrid optimization strategy performs depends on the specific algorithms and tuning parameters used at each stage of the search. Because each algorithm is working alone, the progress made at any time depends on how effective the selected method is for that problem and what it does with the information provided by previous search methods.
As I've mentioned in other posts, it is usually impossible to know which algorithms or values of tuning parameters will work well on a problem before it is solved. So, series hybrid algorithms have the same fatal flaw as most monolithic strategies, except the number of unknowns is now multiplied by the number of different strategies used.
Moreover, additional unknowns are introduced, such as the order of the strategies and when to stop one strategy in favor of another. Default values for these parameters may or may not work well for your current problem.
Parallel hybrid optimization
Parallel hybrid algorithms, like SHERPA (in HEEDS® MDO), overcome many of the shortcomings of series hybrid algorithms. In this strategy, multiple optimization methods actually work simultaneously to solve a problem in a collaborative fashion. Rather than contributing sequentially, these methods work together to search a design space and identify optimized solutions, like many hands helping to carry a heavy load.
As with any good team, a parallel hybrid algorithm requires good leadership, communication, coordination, and accountability. These attributes are built into the algorithm's infrastructure from the start.
Instead of separately exploring and refining at different stages of a search, a parallel hybrid algorithm enables these two essential activities to take place concurrently and synergistically! This not only speeds up the search but also makes it more likely to find the global optimum.
In a series hybrid algorithm, the search history can be used to determine which individual algorithm(s) made the most meaningful contribution to the search. But this is not possible with a parallel hybrid algorithm, because each algorithm behaves very differently as part of a team than it would individually.
Nevertheless, there are ways to hold an individual search strategy accountable for its contributions within a parallel hybrid algorithm, and those methods that do not contribute enough over time can be replaced by new methods or have their resources transferred to existing methods that are contributing at a higher level.
The characteristics of a well-designed parallel hybrid optimization algorithm include shared discovery, intellectual diversity, synergistic search, and greater robustness. Oh, and better designs, faster!
Collaborative Optimization
March 19, 2012 by Ron Averill
Collaborative optimizationMany engineers still resist the use of optimization algorithms to help improve their designs. Perhaps they feel that their hard-earned intuition is just too important to the solution process. In many cases, they are right.
At the same time, most optimization algorithms still refuse to accept input from engineers to help guide their mathematical search. The assumption is that the human brain cannot possibly decipher complex relationships among multiple system responses that depend upon large numbers of connected variables. Unfortunately, this is true.
Is this a case of irreconcilable differences? Or is it simply an example of everyone wanting to be the teacher, and no one wanting to be the student? I'm reminded of the Latin proverb:
Surely engineering intuition can benefit from the results of mathematical exploration, and vice-versa. It seems almost obvious.
So why do engineers and optimization algorithms prefer to work solo? I don't believe they prefer this. I think it is more a matter of not knowing how to collaborate, or not having the tools to facilitate this interaction.
Fortunately, modern optimization software tools like HEEDS now have features that encourage engineers to learn from the intermediate results of an optimization study and to share intuition-based insights with the optimization algorithm during a search. This collaborative optimization process leverages our two most powerful design tools – human experience and computers.
Consider the following example:
 - An engineer uses intuition and experience to define the goals of an optimization problem and a baseline (starting) design.
 - An optimization search algorithm then begins to explore the design space to uncover mathematical relationships that can lead to an optimized design, all the while sharing its progress and discoveries with the engineer.
 - While monitoring, validating and interpreting these intermediate search results, the engineer starts to learn what makes some designs better than others. This new understanding causes the engineer's intuition to practically blurt out, "If design B is better than design A, then design C should be even better!" Of course, the optimization algorithm might eventually discover design C on its own, but it would surely take a lot longer to do so.
 - The engineer shares his insight with the optimization algorithm, which happily accepts the input and puts it to use immediately. If the engineer was correct, then the algorithm now has new information that will accelerate its search. If the engineer's intuition did not lead to a better design, then the algorithm has only spent one design evaluation to discover this, and the new data may still have some valuable nuggets that can be exploited later in the search.
 - The circular process of exploring monitoring interpreting sharing is continuous throughout the search process, leading to better designs in much less time than was previously possible.
 - The enhanced communication between the engineer and the optimization algorithm builds a strong interdependent relationship between the two, leveraging the strength of each.
Collaborative optimization tears down one of the most common objections that experienced engineers have to using optimization methods. It not only makes full use of an engineer's intuition, but improves that intuition through experience gained from mathematical exploration of the design space. This is accelerated learning at its best.
Further, this is not one of those nice ideas that looks good on paper but doesn't work well in practice. This technique has already been used very successfully on many challenging design problems, including composite aircraft, crashworthy cars and insulated vaccine carriers.
There is now overwhelming evidence that a more intimate coupling of intuition with a hybrid, adaptive optimization algorithm can solve many challenging problems previously thought to be intractable.
Of course, in order to find the best solutions many optimization algorithms tend to explore a design space broadly, even spending some time in those regions of the space that don't yield any good designs. So the process helps us to understand not only what makes a good design, but also why some designs perform poorly. This reminds me of another important proverb:
"Wise men learn by other men's mistakes, fools by their own."

Clearly, the primary objective is to cross the finish line in the shortest time possible. But it's still important to remember that the total race time is the sum of the times necessary to complete three very different parts of the race – the swim, the bike and the run.
In optimization, this is often referred to as a summed objective problem. It is a good way to handle optimization problems containing multiple objectives that do not directly compete with one another. In other words, improving the value of one objective does not inevitably worsen another one. For example, swimming faster does not necessarily make you run slower, so these two objectives can naturally be summed together when seeking an optimal race strategy.
However, non-competing objectives might still be strongly coupled. In a triathlon, if you spend too much energy swimming faster, then you won't have enough energy remaining to bike or run at your best, resulting in a slower overall race time. Based on the athlete's level of skill and fitness,

File folders are the darling of homeschool moms, who love to turn these ordinary, commonplace office staples into all sorts of fun projects. Publishing with flap books is a simple but effective way for children to showcase their writing!
Let's look at two ways you can use manila file folders to help your children publish their stories and reports.
Reveal Parts of a Story
Try publishing your children's writing projects in lapbook-style flap books. Flap books work especially well when a child wants to reveal one part of the story at a time or hide a surprise ending. They're simple and fun! Even the least crafty among your kids will enjoy producing a final draft like one of these!
1. Numbered Flaps
A younger child's short story can be displayed in a flap book like this one. It contains one numbered flap or mini book for every sentence in the story.
Depending on the child's level of interest, you could cut the flaps from brightly colored scrapbooking or construction paper. Then, affix the sentence strips to the colored paper.
2. Lift-the-Flaps: Beginning, Middle, and End
Publishing with flap books like this one is perfect for revealing the beginning, middle, and end of a story or short report.
Cut the front cover of a file folder horizontally to form two or three flaps.
Then cut the story into strips and glue the strips into the file folder under the corresponding flaps. If the story is longer than one page, simply staple additional (uncut) pages onto the back cover of the file folder.
Your child may also enjoy gluing clip art, magazine pictures, or a small map on the inside of each flap.
Showcase a Report or Narrative
Open up a manila folder and fold the edges into the center to make a different type of flap book (also called a lapbook). Your student can publish a nonfiction report by stapling it in the center and adding photos, illustrations, charts, maps, tables, or graphs to the two outside flaps.
Your child could also use this idea to publish a narrative. Encourage using photos or drawings to illustrate parts of the story.
How do you use manila file folders to display your children's writing assignments?

text: Most medics killed in battle die while trying to extract or care for wounded soldiers on the battlefield. A dcmiltary.com article says Gary Gilbert of the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) decided this was a job where robots could save lives. By using a robot to extract the wounded, the medic doesn't have to face direct enemy fire and the wounded soldier has better odds of being treated quickly. The first Robotic Extraction Vehicles were teleoperated 6-wheeled bots that looked remarkably like standard bomb disposal robots. The wounded soldier had to roll onto a sled which the robot then dragged off the battlefield. A more advanced prototype, called the BEAR, looks like an unmanned Segway with a fork lift. The BEAR can bend down and scoop up a wounded soldier even if he is completely incapacitated. For more information including video of prototype robots in action, see the TATRC Autonomous Casualty Care Program website. It's nice to see some miltary robot that saves lives instead of taking them for a change.

text: We investigated the thermodynamical properties of water exchanged in poly(L-glutamic acid)/poly(allylamine)hydrochloride (PGA/PAH) polyelectrolyte multilayers containing ferrocyanide. Oxidation/reduction of the ferrocyanide in the multilayer caused a reversible swelling/contraction of the film due to the uptake/release of counter ions and water. We used electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and electrochemical microcalorimetry to correlate the amount of water with the accompanying entropy changes during electrochemical swelling of the multilayer for a series of different anions at different concentrations. The number of exchanged water molecules was highly dependent on the ionic strength and the type of anion in the buffer solution. However, the entropy change per exchanged water molecule was found to be independent of these two parameters. The water molecules in the polyelectrolyte multilayer have reduced the entropy compared to that of bulk water (≈−1 J mol−1 K−1). A comparison of hydration entropies for free polyelectrolytes and PGA/PAH multilayers suggests that such systems are mainly stabilized by water release during multilayer construction.


Placing Control Of Your Property With A Receiver: What Business And Property Owners Need To Know
By: Anissa Hudy, Esq. and Sara MacWilliams, Esq.
On February 6, 2018, Governor Snyder signed legislation which adopts the Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act in Michigan. The Act takes effect 90 days after it is enacted. You can read the entire text of the Act here:
Link this language: _URL_
Once a topic relegated to foreclosure cases, suddenly everyone is talking about receiverships. This is the first in a series about Michigan receivership basics that all business and property owners need to know.
What Property and Business Owners Need To Know About Receivership: The Basics
1. What is a receiver? A receiver is someone appointed by the court to oversee the management and/or disposition of property usually as part of a lawsuit. Basically, the receiver takes control of the property to ensure proper management, preservation and stabilization during the pendency of the receivership.
2. Do receivers have to be appointed if a property is the subject of litigation? Absolutely not. Sometimes, if the property has an equity cushion or a competent management team in place, spending money to bring in a receiver depletes resources. In other situations, however, the existing management may be allowing fraud, devaluations or waste to occur to the property, and getting a neutral third party (receiver) in to competently manage the property is necessary to stabilize it and protect against devaluation. Typical times a receiver would be appointed are in commercial lending cases involving foreclosures, shareholder disputes or divorces involving significant assets or property.
3. What other situations are appropriate for receivers? In the case of death of the property owner, a receiver may be appointed while ownership is being resolved through probate court. In divorces, where property or a business is owned by two spouses going through a divorce, a receiver may be very beneficial in maintaining neutral control of the property and/or business and stabilizing those operations. Also, receivers are commonly appointed in white collar criminal cases where the management is accused of fraudulent conduct.
4. How, if at all, does the new Michigan law change in Michigan? The new rules provide for uniformity regarding receiverships, including:
(a) Uniformity regarding the appointment, removal, and discharge of court-appointed receivers. For example, the receiver cannot be someone who is also a lien creditor;
(b) Clarification regarding the receiver's duties and powers with respect to the receivership property;
(c) Uniformity regarding rules about notice to parties impacted by the receivership;
(d) Uniformity regarding rules about the property owners' duties with respect to the receiver;
(e) Uniformity regarding requiring that a receivership order operate as a stay (similar to a stay in bankruptcy).
Prior to this legislation, typically, these issues were handled ad hoc, and the new rules are intended to standardize the process throughout the state.
5. How do you know if you need a receiver? Deciding whether to seek the appointment of a receiver is no simple task and requires consideration of the unique factors of each situation:
(a) How will a receivership affect property value? Consider the impact of the news that the property or business is in receivership on the overall value.
(b) What is the debt to equity ratio? Receivers are appointed to avoid waste, stabilize assets and maximize their value. If the property is already stabilized, avoiding waste and in a position to maximize value, a receiver may not be a good use of resources.
(c) Is current management or control an issue to preserving the property and maximizing its value? If so, a receiver is likely appropriate.
(d) Are the parties so far apart, or the relationship so frayed that without a receiver, the assets will depreciated or be destroyed, such as in shareholder disputes or divorces involving business operations? This weighs in favor of appointing a receiver.
(e) Is pertinent information regarding the property being suppressed or withheld? If so, a receiver is likely appropriate.
(f) Will the receivership cost deplete the value of the property? Receivers are not free, and if there is no income coming into the property or business, this will make it difficult to attract a receiver. Additionally, keep in mind that many receivers bill by the hour, so consider what level of receivership management makes sense for the case and whether the costs are justified. Receivers who bill a flat fee may be a good solution.
(g) Is there a receiver who is experienced in the property or business at issue who can competently serve as a neutral? There are very good receiver options for standard commercial property, even property that has environmental or other complex concerns. Specialized businesses often require specialized receivers.

10 Things Soup Taught Me About Cooking
We've been enjoying a hot and nourishing Soup Week here at The Kitchn, and as we explored good tips and the secrets of really great soups, I realized something. So much of what I know about cooking came from soup. Not braises, not casseroles, not pasta. In many ways, soup taught me the essentials of cooking, and here are ten important things that I learned from making many pots of soup.
 - A little bit of bacon goes a long way. I think it was soup that first taught me how just a wee piece of meat, especially something as fragrant as bacon, could flavor an entire dish.
 - There are patterns in recipes that set you free. The process of making a good soup is slow and there are distinct steps. Heat fat. Sauté aromatics. Build it up with beans or vegetables. Add stock. Simmer. I began to see patterns and processes in the soup pot that taught me how flavor is created and intensified.
 - Emulsification isn't just for salad dressings. You know emulsification, that process by which oil and vinegar can get whipped into a thick, creamy dressing? Same thing happens in soup when you blend it up; you don't need cream to make a creamy soup.
 - Turkey stock is why turkeys exist. Seriously. I don't like turkey meat very much, but turkey stock is liquid gold, worth its weight in brownies gilded with diamonds. Turkey stock is not to be underestimated.
 - Soggy bread is actually very good. If soggy bread grosses you out, that should change when it comes to soup. A little good bread tossed into a pot of mulligatawny or a bowl of chicken broth can plump it out and add flavor.
 - The freezer is your friend. Soup goes in and comes back out for quick meals. The freezer also lets you store up bits of meat and vegetables, not to mention stock (turkey stock) for tossing into soups. After ice cream, soup is pretty much the only reason I have a freezer.
 - It's not the recipe's fault — it's yours. Soups taught me to taste, taste, taste as I cooked. If something seemed off, I learned that it's my own taste that determines the outcome. A recipe only gets you halfway there; after that you need to adjust salt, acid, and other flavors to your taste. If you don't like it, fix it until you do.
 - The pressure cooker is magic. This is a recent discovery, but I am newly in love with my pressure cooker overall, and discovering that I can make incredible perfect stock in 45 minutes in that thing has just cemented the deal. (Guess what kind I just made.)
 - Time is money. You can make food taste delicious in all sorts of ways: Fat, salt, acid, expensive luxury ingredients like truffles and vanilla beans. But if you are poor in money, or just watching your pocketbook, you can make up for it in time. I've made all sorts of "stone soups" out of a few weary vegetables and boxed broth, but made up the flavor by searing the heck out of the vegetables, or letting everything simmer for a long, long time. Time is money, in the kitchen.
 - Just make it up. More than anything else, though, soup taught me that it's not just OK, but delightful to just make it up in the kitchen. Have a bag of broth, some onions, and a pantry full of spices and canned beans? Why even look at a recipe? Get started, add a bit of this and that, and soon you'll have a soup that no one else has ever quite had before. It will be all yours, and all delicious. (Especially if you use turkey stock.)
Those are my own soup lessons, acquired from standing over a pot of soup. Has soup taught you things about cooking and being in the kitchen? I would love to hear!

the world's most spectacular roads
Cerro de la Muerte is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3,451 m (11,322 ft) above the sea level filled with steep curves and potholes. It's the highest point in the Costa Rican section of the Inter-American Highway, the Central American section of the Pan-American Highway.
The name of the pass means "Mountain of Death", since many travelers succumbed to the cold and rain in the past. This part of the highway has excessive potholes, steep, narrow curves, and plenty of fog.
Due its climb in elevation over thousands of feet, and pass through remote areas, it is important when driving in these conditions to be prepared. This road goes through different various climates and temperatures.
This road is usually open all year long. But flash floods and landslides as well as narrow curves and steep cliffs make the pass extremely dangerous.

South African Children's Hospital Closed Under Apartheid To Reopen
Originally published on Tue September 25, 2012 9:08 am
A large children's hospital in Durban, South Africa, is being rebuilt two decades after it closed owing to apartheid. It opened in 1931 as a facility for all races, but racial tensions in the 1980s forced its closure.
Now with Durban and the surrounding province of KwaZulu-Natal extremely hard hit by AIDS and tuberculosis, local leaders are hopeful they can begin reopening the hospital early in 2013.
If the rehabilitation project is successful, it could restore one woman's dream from almost a century ago of having a multiracial hospital in Durban by the sea.
While child mortality rates almost everywhere else in the world have been falling, this part of South Africa has seen the rate rise. At some maternity clinics in the region, 50 percent of pregnant women are testing positive for HIV.
"HIV contributes to almost 50 to 60 percent of deaths in children under the age of 5 [in South Africa]," Mohern Archary, a pediatrician at the King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban, says.
This is why Arthi Ramkissoon, a public health director at the University of the Witwatersrand, is pushing to restore the boarded-up Children's Hospital in Durban.
"Children are a neglected part of the health system," she says, and a hospital dedicated exclusively to the needs of kids could help reduce the province's rising infant mortality.
The Durban Children's Hospital was the first facility in all of Africa dedicated exclusively to kids. It was built in 1928 by then-Durban Mayor Mary Siedle, who wanted to take a child of color for medical treatment but could not find a place.
The hospital had a mandate to serve kids of all races, but it sat on a prime, beachfront lot in a white neighborhood. Amid rising tension about the hospital attracting nonwhites into a white neighborhood, the apartheid regime shut it down in the 1980s.
Now the hospital's seven buildings have fallen into deep disrepair. Windows are shattered. Roofs have collapsed, and pigeons have taken up residence in the gutters.
Ramkissoon, who works with KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital Trust, is still trying to raise money to restore six of the seven buildings on the 3 1/2-acre site. The first building to be rebuilt is expected to open early in 2013. It will house a center for HIV-positive teenagers.
The focus of the new children's hospital, she says, will be broader than just HIV. There will be general pediatric medicine, psychological services and inpatient wards.
Ramkissoon hopes to take full advantage of the facility's prime location next to the Indian Ocean. "My vision is for children to have physical therapy on the beach," she says. "I'd like the wheelchairs and beds to be wheeled out there. I'm going to try to have a ramp or something out to the sand."
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Let's go next to South Africa, to the city of Durban, where efforts are underway to rebuild a historic children's hospital that was shut down in the later days of white minority rule in South Africa. This hospital originally opened in 1931 with a mandate to serve children of all races, but it was hard to keep it open during apartheid times because of its location. It was sitting on a prime beachfront lot in a white neighborhood. Now, with local hospitals strained by the AIDS epidemic, city leaders are trying to reopen the children's facility. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: The Durban Children's Hospital was designed in the 1920s with stately porches and huge windows facing the Indian Ocean. But now the porches are crumbling, the glass is shattered, and red clay tiles of the roof have slipped out of place or fallen away completely.
ARTHI RAMKISSOON: And down here you can see original stained glass from the 1920s, which was put in at child height.
BEAUBIEN: Arthi Ramkissoon with the KwaZulu Natal Children's Hospital Trust is one of the people pushing to restore this institution to its former glory.
RAMKISSOON: There's one more here which is a bit damaged. We'll have to fix that.
BEAUBIEN: This project is more than just the restoration of a cool old building. It's a project entwined with apartheid, the historical inequities of South Africa, and AIDS.
RAMKISSOON: This was formerly known as the Addington Children's Hospital, built in 1928 by a woman who wanted to take a child of color for medical treatment and could not find a place.
BEAUBIEN: That woman was Mary Siedle, a white philanthropist from a prominent mercantile family. In the 1980s, amidst rising tension over the hospital attracting non-whites in to a white neighborhood, the apartheid regime shut down the Durban Children's Hospital. If the rehabilitation project is successful, it could restore one woman's dream from almost a century ago of having a multi-racial hospital in Durban by the sea.
Now, as South Africa grapples with AIDS instead of apartheid, this province has the highest rate of HIV in the country. At some maternity clinics in KwaZulu Natal, nearly half the women are HIV positive. AIDS has put significant new strains on the public health care system in South Africa and Ramkissoon says the medical needs of young people have often been pushed to the back burner.
RAMKISSOON: We have a population who almost half of which are under 24 years of age. We also have an increasing under five mortality. So together with the burden of HIV, children are a neglected part of the health system.
BEAUBIEN: On the other side of town, Dr. Mohern Archary a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the King Edward the Eighth Hospital, says HIV is also affecting kids directly.
DR. MOHERN ARCHARY: HIV contributes to almost 50 to 60 percent of deaths in children under the age of five.
BEAUBIEN: That's across all of South Africa, and he says the problem is even worse here in KwaZulu Natal. The new provincially-run hospital won't focus exclusively on HIV, but also offer general medicine as well as psychological and social services for children. That's the goal, anyway. Arthi Ramkissoon is still trying to raise money to restore the other six buildings on the three-and-a-half-acre site.
(SOUNDBITE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK)
BEAUBIEN: Amidst the bustle of construction workers working in one corner of the compound, Ramkissoon says she can already picture the finished ocean front hospital.
RAMKISSOON: We are going to have rehabilitation here as well as everything else, and my vision is for children to have their physiotherapy and other therapy on the beach. I would like the wheelchairs and the beds to be wheeled out there, so I'm going to try and have some sort of ramp or other access to the sand.
BEAUBIEN: The first building on the complex is scheduled to re-open early next year. It will house a center for HIV positive teenagers who've been on AIDS treatment since birth. Jason Beaubien, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.


The Dignified Dalmatian
The Dalmatian dog breed is popular because it is the star of Disney's 101 Dalmatians. Aside from that, they are also famed for their spotted coats. The Dalmatian is a sleek and athletic dog breed which has a history that goes back several hundred years. It is as charming in real life as in film and it can go from gallant to goofy to gallant again in an instant. If you love Dalmatians, then read on to know more about its history and characteristics.
There is no clear story about the exact origin of the Dalmatian dog breed but based on the most reliable sources, they originated in the eastern Mediterranean from where they spread to India and over Europe. Its name suggests that it came from Dalmatia, which was a historical region in Croatia, on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. However, researchers have found that this was not the case.
The name Dalmatian came relatively late in their history, around the late 1790s. But there were records of spotted dogs in painting, sketches, and artifacts which were dated well before this time. These dogs were seen beside war chariots and other horse drawn carriages. This is where they received their other name which is "The Carriage Dog".
Dalmatians before were used as dogs of war, guarding the borders of Dalmatia. Even until now, the breed retains a high guarding instinct. They have a strong hunting instinct and they are also excellent exterminator of rats and vermin. Aside from being dogs of war, they were also used as bird dogs, trail hounds, retrievers, or in packs for boar or stag hunting. They have also become successful circus dogs throughout the years because of their dramatic markings and intelligence.
Dalmatians are best known for their role as fire-fighting apparatus escorts and firehouse mascots. Since they are very compatible with horses, they were easily trained to run in front of the carriages, helping clear a paths to quickly guide the horses and firefighters to the fires. They were also kept in the firehouse as deterrence to theft because they are considered to make good watchdogs.
In the present time, most Dalmatians are companions and family members but they still firmly remain as an iconic mascot of the Fire Brigade. In fact, you can still find living examples of this across the country.
Characteristics of a Dalmatian
Average height: 1 foot and 7 inches – 2 feet tall
Average weight: 48 – 55 pounds
Hypoallergenic: No
The Dalmatian belongs to the companion dogs breed group and they can live from 13 to 16 years. Both males and females can grow between 19 and 24 inches tall and can weight from 48 to 55 pounds. But males are generally larger than females. Dalmatians have distinctive coats that are lovely to touch because they are short, satiny, and fine. The top of their heads feel like velvet.
Their coats' base color is white with well-defined dense black or deep brown round spots which vary from dime size to half dollar size which are evenly distributed over the coat. You can also see smaller spots on their legs, head, and tail. But did you know that where their spots came from is a mystery? Yes, because they do not have spots at birth and they only get spots when they grow older. Also, just like human fingerprints, no two Dalmatians have exactly the same pattern of spots.
There are also tricolored Dalmatians such as those with tan markings on the head, neck, chest, leg, or a tail of black or liver spotted dog. However, they are not suited for dog shows but they can still be excellent companion dogs.
Dalmatians are high-energy dogs that do not get tired of exercise. They love attention and have a strong desire to please, making them very easy to train. They are also smart dogs with a sly sense of humor. They are alert and interested with things that goes around them, which makes them excellent watchdogs.
They are also great playmates for older children but not to toddlers and young children because their rambunctious nature and swishing tails might be overwhelming. They are also fine with other dogs and cats around.
Caring for Dalmatians
Since Dalmatians are very active dogs, they will need plenty of exercise. But remember to exercise them on a leash because they are very fast runners with a great deal of stamina. They also thrive with human companionship that's why they need plenty of time with their family. Also try to observe if your Dalmatian is urinating properly because they have unique uric acid metabolism. Make sure to provide them with easy access to fresh water all the time.
Dalmatians are considered as clean dogs and they only have little or no "doggy" odor. Their coats are dirt-repellent as well and it is unusual for them to roll around in the mud. But be aware that they shed all year round. To get the hair off them, make sure to brush their coats weekly using a medium-soft rubber curry brush. If you brush them regularly, there's no need for frequent bathing and three to four times in a year is enough.
Remember to brush your Dalmatian's teeth at least two to three times a week to prevent bad breath and gum disease. Also, trim its nails once or twice a month to avoid painful tears.
When feeding Dalmatians, the recommended daily amount of food a day is 1.5 to 2 cups divided into two meals. This depends on your Dalmatian's size, age, metabolism, build, and activity level.
If you're an active individual who loves running or hiking and you're looking for a wonderful companion, getting a Dalmatian might be a great option for you. Dalmatians are also great as family pets and as watchdogs for your home.

The Inventor
Survival. Brilliance. Obsession. The untold story of modern medicine.
The Inventor is a true story inspired by the life of Herman Margulies, a brilliant, but obstinate holocaust survivor who leaves Poland in search of a better life in the United States. With an unwavering spirit of hope, he overcomes the pain of his past and builds an accomplished, yet un-applauded career as an inventor, revolutionizing modern medical devices. Later, he pursues his passion as an artist, and despite his professional success, his personal life is overshadowed by eccentricities and his obsessive lifestyle with the women he loved.
In the end, will his obsession outweigh his wisdom?

Set, uniq, Object comparison
Ne, 14.7.2019 - 20:57
This is the first article of my small series of Node.js performance benchmark tinkering.
Have you ever wondered what is the fastest way to get Array with unique items?
What to keep in mind
I wanted to compare 3 ways to make Array with unique items/values. I've used Set(), lodash.uniq, and plain js Object. Array was filled by semi random strings Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) + 'asdf'.
I've tested this only on Node.js v12, and everything is just benchmark, so on production data it can look completely different. Only ops per second performance was tested, nothing else, no memory and so on.
How I tested this
I've used benchmark module to run test scenarios. The code snippets benchmarked look like this
// Set
const set = d => () => [ Set(d)]
// lodash.uniq
const lodash = d => () => uniq(d)
// Object
const object = d => () => {
 const n = {}
 for (const a of d) {
 if (!n[a]) {
 n[a] = true
 return Object.keys(n)
First I've tried to try this just with one length of an array, like array with 1000 items. Then I figured out, it might be interesting to run it on different lengths and see how performance changes. So in the end I've run everything in arrays of length 1 to ~200 000 items (see the gist).
And now, what I found
The graph shows performance comparison to Set as a baseline. How to read this? For 1 item uniq is 2x faster than Set, and for ~100 items in array, Set is 5x faster than uniq and more than 2x faster than Object.
Set, uniq, Object comparison
What strikes me as interesting is that drop in uniq and object performance somewhere between ~10 and ~1000 items. Any learnings from this? If you need to uniq array with primitive values, it's safe to use Set() and you don't need to care about the length of the array. When you want to optimize for the size of an array, for small ones [1;~10], use uniq, for middle [~10, ~500] size use Set, and for anything larger use Object.
Some Open questions:
 - How will this behave on different version of Node.js, is the performance comparison the same?
 - What is the impact on memory, what's the heap size of Set compared to Object?
 - Is there a difference if the array is presorted?
You can find full benchmark here on my gist. And raw results values in google spreadsheet (tab set uniq object).

INTRODUCTION: The stratum corneum is the biggest obstacle in cosmetics with respect to skin moisturisation. Many approaches have been taken to overcome the barrier, one of which is incorporating natural cosmeceuticals into cosmetic products to enhance moisturisation effects. Here, a commercial facemask formulation was electrospun to develop dry facemasks capable of hosting cosmeceuticals within the pores of incorporated mesoporous silica. METHODS: Ethanolic solutions containing 40% w/w of the marketed facemask (7th Heaven Dead Sea peel-off facemask) and mesoporous silica were prepared and electrically processed at 30 μL min-1 at an applied voltage of 12 ± 2 kV. In vitro characterisation and release studies using fluorescein dye as a model probe were carried out. RESULTS: SEM images confirmed the fibrous nature of the resulting matrix; showing an average fiber diameter of 298.32 nm. The electrospun mask was found to be advantageous due to this fibrous nature providing high active loading capacity whilst demonstrating 100% probe release within 60 min. Contact Angle hysteresis, thermal analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) presented evidence of compatibility and stability of and within the formulation. CONCLUSION: Adapting the formulation of a commercial polymeric facemask into an electrospun facemask has shown the versatility of the electrospinning process; now successfully crossing over into the cosmetic industry.

Seismic vibrations from wind turbines and their effects on the seismometer array at Eskdalemuir
The CTBTO (Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation) IMS seismometer array station located at Eskdalemuir in Scotland has been operating since 1962. It is vital that the government and MoD safeguard the array from excessive seismic vibration noise. The presentation reviews the work undertaken by the EWG (Eskdalemuir Working Group) a cross government/industry group, in reviewing a vibration budget in relation to seismic vibration from wind turbines. The work outlines measurement analysis and modelling to develop an understanding of how wind turbines generate seismic waves. In turn this work was used to develop a model to predict seismic ground waves that could be used to refine and define the wind turbine exclusion and 50km consultation zone around the array.


Unexpected results when using a link rule to apply styles
A link rule can apply a character and/or paragraph style to a variable text link. Then, when data is merged into a text link that is using this link rule, the result will be similar to placing that plain text or formatted text in a text frame and applying the selected paragraph and/or character style to that text. If a link rule is not applying styling as you expected, see the tips below:
First, manually copy/paste the data into the text link and then apply the style(s) that the link rule is set up to apply. This mimics what will happen when DesignMerge merges this link.
Next, confirm the link rule is applying styles that have been set up in the document. Note the name of the style that the link rule will apply must match the name of the style that has been set up in the document.
Also, test the link rule to confirm it has been set up correctly. You can test a link rule by doing the following:
 1. Open the Rules dialog (open the DesignMerge menu and choose Setup > Rules).
 2. On the left side of the Rules dialog, select the name of the link rule that you wish to test.
 3. On the bottom right side of the Rules dialog, click the Test button.
 4. When prompted, select the data file that you wish to use to test this rule.
 5. The Test Rule dialog will open where you can step through the records in the selected data file, reviewing the results presented on the bottom of the Test Rule dialog.
Then, examine how you have used this link rule in the document:
 - Confirm the variable link and link rule are assigned to a selection of text and not to a text frame. The ability of a link rule to apply styles has been designed specifically for variable text links. If the variable link is assigned to a text frame, then the rule will not apply any paragraph or character styles.
 - Confirm the linked text has been assigned to the appropriate variable link and link rule. One way to do this is to select the variable text link in the document and then look at the information that is displayed on the DesignMerge panel. For more information about assigning a link rule to a variable text link, see Tutorial #1b (Using Rules), available in DesignMerge Documentation.
 - If you would like the link rule to apply a paragraph style to the entire paragraph that contains the variable text link, the variable link must be the first character in the paragraph.

Pre-recruitment medical examination
The employer has to organise the pre-recruitment medical examinations when hiring employees. It is to ensure that the employees are physically fit and able to fulfill the contract of employment.
The pre-recruitment medical examination is a compulsory medical examination.
The French labor code, article R 4624-10 states that :
This medical examination concerns every employee, whatever the length of his employment contract. This examination takes place not later than the end of the trial period. But in case of strengthened medical supervision, the pre-recruitment medical examination does take place before the employee starts working for the enterprise.
The pre-recruitment medical examination includes :
- A questioning to know personal and family medical history, workstations occupied in the past (what risks was the employee exposed to).
- A physical examination
- Tests such as :
- Eye test
- Urinary examinations
- Lung function test
- Hearing test
- The occupational physician can also prescribe other tests according to the occupational risks observed within the company : blood test, urine cytology, etc
Labor code, article R 4624-11, defines the objectives of this examination :
1° to be sure the worker is physically fit to perform the work for which he would be recruited,
2 to propose modifications of the workstation, if it is necessary,
3° to know if the employee has a dangerous illness for the other workers,
4° to inform the worker about risks at the workstation, which health surveillance will be necessary,
5° and how he can protect from this hazards.
A report is filed by the occupational physician after each medical examination. The doctor has to give his opinion : the employee is fit or unfit to work, a workstation layout is necessary, etc
One copy of this certificate is given to the employer and the other is for the employee. Usually the occupational physician keep a copy too in the medical record of occupational health.
Time spent on the medical examination and on prescribed tests is taken on working time or is compensated and tranport costs too.


How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Quick Answer
Since 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, and 2 tablespoons make 1 fluid ounce, 1 ounce is equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Care must be taken to distinguish between measurements of weight and volume in this case, as dry ounces and liquid ounces measure weight and volume, respectively.

How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Credit: liz west CC-BY 2.0
Full Answer
Since a teaspoon is a measure of volume, it cannot be directly converted to dry ounces, which measure weight. Confusion between the two units can result in radically different amounts of ingredients being added to recipes, depending on the density of the ingredient. Fluid ounces are also defined slightly differently in the United States and Great Britain. A fluid ounce of water in Great Britain weighs exactly 1 dry ounce, but in the United States 1 fluid ounce of water is somewhat more than a dry ounce in weight.

Date: 7/4/96 at 19:21:20 From: Anonymous Subject: Ratio and Proportion Six men can complete a piece of work in one day while 5 boys would take 2 days to complete the same piece of job. 44 men can build a tower in 5 days; how long will 40 men and 80 boys take to build the tower?
Date: 7/5/96 at 8:37:52 From: Doctor Anthony Subject: Re: Ratio and Proportion From the first statement, 3 men would take 2 days to do the job. It follows that 5 boys are equivalent to 3 men. Since we have 80 boys building the tower, these boys are equivalent to (3/5)*80 = 48 men. So the total workforce on the tower is equivalent to 40+48 = 88 men If 44 men take 5 days, then 88 men would take 5/2 = 2 +1/2 days. -Doctor Anthony, The Math Forum Check out our web site! _URL_

Understanding Shopify Theme Styles and Presets With settings_data.json
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json
Building custom presets for Shopify themes can be super useful, especially if your theme might be used by many merchants, and you want to curate their experience when using your theme.
You've most likely landed here because you've been looking to customize the theme settings of your Shopify theme, and stumbled upon two files in the config directory—settings_schema.json and settings_data.json. This article will look at the differences between settings_schema.json and settings_data.json. We'll deep dive into the various uses and nuances of the settings_data.json file.
What are theme settings?
Theme settings—also referred to as theme options—allow a merchant to customize the look and feel of their online store. Theme settings are predetermined by the theme developer who builds the theme. They are built and stored in the config directory inside the settings_schema.json file. Theme settings control the organization and content of the menu in the theme editor.
settings_schema.json vs. settings_data.json
The settings_schema.json file controls the organization and options available to a merchant in the theme editor. It's used to create and edit the theme settings available for a merchant within a theme. The theme settings follow the specified file format outlined by the Shopify documentation.
The settings_data.json file stores the theme settings data saved from the theme editor. It can also include 'theme styles', also known as presets. If presets are defined, it enables a merchant to choose a theme style which is predetermined by a theme developer. The theme style then sets specific values for the keys defined in the settings_schema.json file.
Digging into settings_data.json
So let's take a look at settings_data.json. When viewing the settings_data.json file found inside most free themes from the Shopify Theme Store, you'll notice it's broken up into a two different objects; current and presets.
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json - current object
As seen above, the current object contains data for the current theme settings. These are the values which are currently set in the theme editor. A theme only ever uses the data stored in current.
Theme styles aka presets
In the Debut theme, the presets object contains data for two different theme styles, Default and Light. These theme styles can be applied using the theme editor.
Because a theme only ever uses the data stored in current, any presets that are applied simply update the values in current to match those of the preset. It's important to note that there are some input values that won't update via theme style. These have to do with specific input types.
Overwriting presentational values with theme styles and preserving content
One really great thing about presets is that Shopify handles some of the logic involved when it comes to updating content.
Imagine you were a merchant, and you spent a bunch of time customizing the content of your website, like updating the logo of your site and changing the images on your homepage. Then you decide you don't like the Default theme and would rather go for the Light version. It would be a terrible experience if a merchant then had to input all of that content again, especially when all they wanted to change is which theme style is being used.
This is where preserving specific input types becomes important. Shopify only overwrites what it deems to be a presentational value with a theme style. Shopify does not overwrite content values with a theme style.
The existing input types include:
These are input types which are whitelisted, considered presentational, and are overwritten when applying a theme style via the theme editor:
The values of these input types will be overwritten by a defined preset, as the Shopify platform considers them presentational. As with anything, depending on how a theme is developed and how someone has built a theme's settings, this will dictate whether or not these items truly contain presentational values. However, most of these input types lend themselves to presentational elements such as a color or font, to show or hide an element, or choose a value in a range for layout displays.
How section data is stored in settings_data.json
When navigating the settings_data.json file, you'll quickly see that you can define a sections object in your presets and that it also appears inside current. This sections object will be generated for you if you have section files, which gives merchants the ability to add Shopify sections to their theme using the theme editor, without pre-defining which sections appear by default for current.
You'll also notice that dynamic sections can have pretty id names if pre-defined in your settings_data.json file initially. However, if you add them dynamically and have the file auto-generate a current object for you, then they'll have automatically generated id's.
Shopify theme styles and presets with settings_data.json - section order
These id's are then stored in a content_for_index array just below, which defines the order. This array inside current is updated anytime a user changes the order using the theme editor. You can also manually adjust the order by moving around these values in the array.
Managing multiple stores with a single theme using presets
I've seen some pretty clever uses of presets over my time working at Shopify. One example of this is using settings_data.json to manage a single custom theme used on multiple stores. The way this is set up is pretty straight forward—each preset defined in the settings_data.json file represents a specific store, all of which are using the same theme.
For example, a single company might have more than one online store because they have subsidiaries or branches that each have their own url and inventory; but the themes of the store are similar. For example, Greenhouse Inc. has three branches: Greenhouse Nurseries, Greenhouse Grocery, and Greenhouse Living. Each of the branches sells different types of products, and has different concerns, customers and URLs—but they all share a common theme.
In cases like this, the presets named in a theme can be for each company branch, for example greenhouse-nurseries, greenhouse-grocery, and greenhouse-living. Then a single theme can be used for all three stores, each with its own preset containing its own theme settings. This file and its theme are tracked by some kind of version control, and that single theme is used for every store. The current object is then mapped to the appropriate preset, which defines a list of settings—maybe a specific color swatch change, different Google Analytics tracking number, etc.
Because settings_schema.json doesn't ever overwrite presets, you can store any information you want in a preset, whether or not it maps directly to a theme setting found in settings_schema.json.
While we're on the subject of URLs, learn what a canonical URL is and why they're important.
Gotchas when tracking changes
One thing to keep in mind when editing or changing the settings_data.json is how you're keeping track of changes to it, and how that works within your existing workflow.
Because this file is updated by the theme editor, I often see that it is listed as untracked in version control; whether it's listed in a.gitignore file, as a file to ignore in a config.yml (Theme Kit), or an.env file (Slate). When it is untracked, the changes you make directly in the file can easily be overwritten by the theme editor, or vice versa, if the changes aren't pulled down from your store and committed/tracked before starting a new feature.
Start thinking about how you can use theme styles and presets
Building themes, especially dynamic ones, can be hard. But creating theme styles with presets for Shopify themes doesn't have to be. It's important to understand the differences between settings_schema.json and settings_data.json file and that theme styles are built using presets.
Be creative with how you use theme styles and presets in your next project; the possibilities are whatever you can imagine and build!

I'm trying to detect how well an input vector fits a given cluster centre. I can find the best match quite easily (the centre with the minimum euclidean distance to the input vector is the best), however, I now need to work how good a match that is.
To do this I need to find the spread (standard deviation?) of the vectors which build up the centroid, then see if the distance from my input vector to the centre is less than the spread. If it's more than the spread than I should be able to say that I have no clusters to fit it (given that the best doesn't fit the input vector well).
I'm not sure how to find the spread per cluster. I have all the centre vectors, and all the training vectors are labelled with their closest cluster, I just can't quite fathom exactly what I need to do to get the spread.
I hope that's clear? If not I'll try to reword it! TIA Ian

Use the distance function and calculate the distance from your center point to each labeled point, then figure out the mean of those distances. That should give you the standard deviation.

If you switch to using a different algorithm, such as Mixture of Gaussians, you get the spread (e.g., std. deviation) as part of the model (clustering result).

Doctrine ORM Good Practices and Tricks
I'd like to share with you a very good video From Marco Pivetta who is part of the Doctrine Project core team
Tried to summarize the video in points:
 1. Doctrine is for: OLTP, DDD, Object Oriented, not for reporting, use SQL instead
 2. Entities should work without ORM and without DB
 3. Design the Entities first
 4. Entities represent your Domain
 5. Design the database after modeling your domain
 6. Entities are not typed array
 7. You have to think about how objects talk to each other instead of what the objects contain
 8. No behavior = No need for ORM
 9. Respect Law of Demeter (LOD)
 10. Keep collections hidden in your Entities
 11. Entities should always be in a valid state
 12. Use named constructors, ex. public static function fromUserInput()
 13. Avoid entity Setters
 14. Don't couple with the application layer
 15. Avoid writing business logic inside LifeCycle Callback
 16. Avoid auto-generated identifiers, use UUID instead
 17. Avoid derived primary keys, use UNIQUE instead
 18. Avoid composite primary keys
 19. Don't deal with UNIQUE constraint problem inside the application
 20. Try to design data structures in such a way that are append only
 21. Avoid soft deletes, as they break data integrity, use audit log or archiving instead
 22. Use Annotations Mapping in private packages
 23. Use XML Mapping in public packages
 24. Eager loading is useless, avoid it
 25. Avoid Bi-Directional Associations, because they are overhead, use DQL instead
 26. Use custom repositories for improved expressiveness
 27. Query functions are better than repositories
 28. Avoid ObjectManager::getRepository(), as it is a ServiceLocator, inject Repositories instead
 29. Use $repository->find() that can return null
 30. Use $repository->get() that throws exceptions to simplify error logic and can not return null
 31. Avoid two-phase commit
 32. Communicate between boundaries via identifiers not object references
 33. The Paginator is a monster, use custom query instead
 34. Do not normalize without the need for it, Otherwise you're digging your own grave
 35. Consider using Separate DBs (Transactional Data!= Reporting Data)

Return to Vignettes of Ancient Mathematics
Definition of faster (Physics Z 2.232a23-7)
Since every magnitude is divisible into magnitudes (for it was proved that it is impossible for a continuous magnitude to be from indivisible ones, but every magnitude is continuoous), then it is necessary that (a) the faster traverse a greater distance in the equal time and (b) an equal distance in the lesser time and (c) more distance in the lesser time, just as some define the faster.
Argument for a (Physics Z 2.232a27-31):
(figure 1: moving) or (figure 2: still)
For let A be faster than B. Then
since that which changes first is faster, in the time in which A has changed
from to, e.g. ZH, B will not yet be at, but it will fall short, so that
in the equal time the faster will traverse more in an equal time.
Argument for c (Physics Z 2.232a31-b5):
1) In fact, it will also move more in less time. For in the
time in which A has come to be at, let
B be at E, since it is the slower. (figure
2) Accordingly since A has come to be at in
the whole time ZH, it will be at in
a smaller time than this. (figure
3) And let it be in time ZK. And so, which A has traversed is
larger than E, and time ZK
is smaller than the whole time ZH, so that it will traverse a
larger amount in a smaller time.
Argument 1 for b (Physics Z 2.232b5-14):
1) It is also obvious from these that the faster traverses
an equal amount in a smaller time. For since it traverses a greater
in less time than the slower, while taken by itself it will traverse
more than the lesser amount in more time, e.g. M larger
than, the
time P in which it traverses
M would be more than, the
time in which it traverses. (figure
2) Thus if the time P is
smaller than X, the time in which the slower traverses, and will be smaller than X,
since it is smaller than P, as
that which is smaller than a smaller is itself smaller. Thus it
will move the equal amount in less time.
Argument 2 for b (Physics Z 2.232b14-29):
Furthermore, if everything must move in equal or less or in more time, then that which moves in more is slower, that in equal equally fast, while the faster is neither equally fast nor slower, the faster neither move in equal nor in more time. And so, it remains that it moves in less time, so that it is also necessary that the faster traverse an equal magnitude in less time.

twenty-foot equivalent unit series
Drawing on industrial music from the 1980s – containerisation caused the demise of London's many docks and the surrounding deindustrialisation that followed provided the raw material for the birth of a political sonic reaction – Hellier has recorded percussive and resonant encounters with these familiar steel boxes. Using high sample-rate recordings and ambisonics, they reveal the hidden stories. Evoking the ghosts of their contents and journeys, each vessel resonates differently, depending on its (unidentified) load and undisclosed history but also echos of that industrial music. The soundtrack contains fragments from Test Dept, Hellier attended a gig at the Albany by the band in 1984 during the height of the miners strike, supported by a welsh male voice choir. An attempt to make aural the anger felt at the time of immense social change.
The (mostly male) phenomenon of 'container ship spotting' makes up the visual source material for these distorted journeys. The title references both the universal system used to describe cargo capacity for intermodal containers (the twenty-foot Equivalent Unit being 1 TEU) as well as the modular sculptures of infamous America Minimalist sculptor, Carl Andre. The overall effect of Hellier's work is a haunting sonic and visual experience, which evokes a sense of the uncomfortable and encourages the viewer to reflect on 21st-century displacement and the unending 'trafficking' of goods – material and people – around the world.
