Q: A combination of overwatering and this heat caused my 9-year-old dwarf pomegranate leaves to yellow and drop on about a third of the plant. I turned off the water and hand watered it with small amounts of water. The only thing I did differently was to give the plants a small dose of Miracle-Gro in the spring. Any suggestions?
Q: You emphasized it's better to water longer rather than more often. But what if that's not possible? Our small condo community has an old irrigation system with everything watered from the same lines. We irrigate for nearly 24 hours. Less than that and small plants really struggle. Is there anything we can do?
Maybe you already heard the story about the little old lady who drove through a stop sign in Sun City Summerlin, and when stopped by a police officer she responded, "I don't have to pay attention to stop signs. I live here!"
Alpine Lakes Loop Trail is one of the best all-around hikes in Great Basin National Park, especially if you're hiking with people of varying ages and abilities. The loop trail features fantastic views of Wheeler Peak, 13,063 feet in elevation and the second-highest in Nevada. The hike also passes two pretty mountain lakes.
This is the time of year we see a rise in humidity along with a threat from afternoon rains. This rise in humidity and high nighttime temperatures can also bring plant disease problems. You can do something now to prevent diseases before they occur.
Q: Can you give some tips on how to survive this latest bout of heat? Is it simply too hot right now for plants? Is shade cloth the answer?
Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is on everybody's list of must-see places in the Southwest, but during summer, dealingwith the crowds and traffic can be frustrating at best. However, if you have some flexibility in your schedule, there's aremedy. Check out the park's popular main area, with its natural amphitheaters filled with striking hoodoo formations, firstthing in the morning, before most visitors arrive. Then set out to other areas of Bryce for hiking.
You couldn't find two more compatible partners traveling in the same direction than the master-planned community of Summerlin and Summerlin Hospital Medical Center.
Q: Please settle a disagreement between my wife and me. Each spring my wife plants several plants in pots for our patio using bagged potting soil. Each year a few of them die and others live. This happened two years in a row. I contend the potting soils need to have some real dirt mixed in with it to make them better.
Q: I need confirmation of a problem with my grapes. A gardening Facebook group is certain my grape berries have thrip damage this year. I sent you a picture to confirm it or not.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ck7zhk/healthcare_it) has announced the addition of the "Global Healthcare IT Integration Market Report 2014-2018: North America Dominates with 69% Market Share" report to their offering.
Healthcare IT integration involves the implementation of a wide variety of electronic platforms that help in maintaining information about health and healthcare in general, which could be both for individuals as well as a group of patients. HCIT integration includes collection, storage, retrieval, and sharing of information between consumers, providers, governments, and insurers, among others. The information covered by HCIT can range from demographics, medical history, medications and allergies, and immunization status to radiology images and vital signs of the patient.
North America commanded the largest share of 69.4% in the global market, with U.S. commanding the largest share of around 86.6% in 2013. This large share of the U.S. can be attributed to the fact that the U.S. is a well-established market for healthcare IT and HCIT integration. However, this market still has many opportunities within the U.S mainly due to the various initiatives taken by the government to promote HCIT. In addition, the presence of a large number of major hospitals in the country that demand an integrated healthcare network is another factor that is driving the market.

As always, I was pleased by the courteous and caring service provided by the staff at Walker Auto. Nick and Arnie are both great, and Shane is the best mechanic I've ever had. I always request him to work on my vehicles because he's simply the best there is.
After 29 years together I guess you get the idea that Walker Automotive is now and always will be the place for me when it comes to anything automotive.
David thanks for the kind words and taking the time for this review. Although we have been doing business together for 29 years I don't take anything for granted. We work hard every visit to ensure your satisfaction and provide the best possible service experience. Thanks again for your continued patronage!

Honesty and Guaranteed Work
I brought my 4wd pickup to Walker Auto for a state inspection and wheel alignment, oil change and tire rotation.. The alignment could not be done because the wheel bearings were loose. Nick called to tell me the bearings might be adjusted but with over 200k miles on the vehicle it was likely they needed to be replaced. Cost of replacement of one side was $700. After service Nick called and said they were able to adjust the wheel bearings and the time it took was less than the estimate. I expected a bill of $1,000 or more and ended up paying just over $400. It's great to know that Walker does the necessary work and won't inflate the prices. Thank you for your great service!

I have exactly the same thing going on. Repairman suggested you have the venting all the way to the outside of the house cleaned. Of course, I spent the $$ doing that; it was clear! The next thing to fix is the entire sensing board on the dryer. I might add, mine is less than a year old. Should have looked at this site before I purchased the set!!!

NBA player Chris Paul left LA Clippers and joined the Houston Rockets in an ambitious trade on Wednesday. The Rockets acquired Paul, but it cost the team a bunch of players, the top 3 2018 first-round pick, and a $661,000 cash consideration. Since he costs this much, many are wondering what the trade's effect on the Chris Paul net worth will be.
The nine-time All-Star previously expressed his dream to play with Rockets' star player James Harden. Doc Rivers, the Clippers coach and President of Basketball Operations, said it is Paul's main and only reason for leaving. However, ESPN cited sources saying Paul and Rivers' relationship had deteriorated since the team acquired River's son, Austin, during the 2015-16 season.
"He left because he wanted to be with James Harden. Let's not get that twisted. I wish him well. I have no problem with that. Do I disagree? Yeah, I think he would have been better served here. But that's not for me. That's [for] CP to decide, and he decided against that," Rivers said. See Paul's tweet about the trade below.
Chris Paul Net Worth
Prior to the start of the 2013–14 NBA season, Paul inked a five-year contract worth approximately $107 million with the Clippers. According to Forbes Magazine, the 32-year-old NBA superstar is due to receive $24.3 million for the 2017-18 season if he did not leave the Clippers.
Since Houston acquired Paul in a trade, he is eligible for a five-year deal worth an estimated $205 million from his new team after the 2017-18 season. He can opt out and sign with a team other than the Clippers in free agency. If he does, the most that team could offer him is a four-year deal worth just more than $152 million.
Celebrity Net Worth put the Chris Paul net worth this year at $75 million from the NBA and his endorsement earnings. Forbes, however, has a different figure. The site put his net worth at $30.9 million which placed him at the No. 9 spot in Forbes' NBA's Highest-Paid Players this year. His NBA salary is stated at $22.9 million and $8 million from off-court income.
The list of NBA's Highest-Paid Players 2017 was released in February. The former Clippers' point guard is also at the No. 34 spot in Forbes' 2017 World's Highest-Paid Athletes Earnings.
Chris Paul Endorsements
Paul's most recent endorsement is with Spalding. He was also chosen to endorse commercial brands such as Nike's Team Jordan brand, Right Guard deodorant, and Powerade sports drinks. Paul also made marketing promos for State Farm, Panini, FanDuel, Kaiser Permanente, and Tencent.
Paul will play for his third franchise, the Houston Rockets, in the next season of NBA. Experts see his decision to leave the Clippers as a better chance for him to get through to the Conference Finals and possibly to the NBA Finals.

When the Los Angeles Lakers purchased the No. 46 overall pick from the Washington Wizards in the 2014 NBA draft, nobody had a real reaction. Those types of transactions are rather common, and rarely does it result in a move that has the potential to change the direction of a franchise. Despite playing three seasons of college basketball—two at Tulsa and one more at Missouri—Jordan Clarkson was an unknown commodity, a name that didn't register with the casual fan of and not the splash the Lakers had been hoping to make during the selection process to begin the offseason.
After all, this wasn't the type of move this team and their fans have become accustomed to in the history of this storied organization. This is a Lakers ownership group that used to be known for landing stars instead of chasing them, had a history of paying premium for talent instead of shopping in the bargain bin and always enjoyed success in the process.
Oh, have times have changed.
With Kobe Bryant coming off of his third straight serious injury and the Lakers attempting to rebound from their worst season in team history—an embarrassing 21-win campaign where Julius Randle's (leg) inaugural season was done after just one game—Clarkson, who faced no real expectation to produce before his rookie season began, finds himself as an integral member of the team and possible building block for the Lakers' uncertain future.
Although Clarkson had to wait (too long) to receive his opportunity to play meaningful minutes on a Lakers team that was fooling itself by overplaying veterans in an attempt to be competitive, the young guard never got down on himself. A gym rat known for pushing himself harder with each passing day, Clarkson even asked Byron Scott, on multiple occasions, to send him to the D-League prior to his NBA breakout in order to prepare him for the moment (via Brian Kotloff, NBADLeague.com).
"I'm focused on always working on my game," he told NBADLeague.com. "Early in the year, I wasn't getting much time with the Lakers. Sometimes I would ask Coach to just go let me play. I love to hoop and you can never get better just by sitting on the bench. Going to play in those [D-Fenders] games definitely helped me to work on stuff that I could transfer over when I got time in the League. The game is a little different between the levels, but it helped slow the game down for me and it sped up my process of becoming a good player in this league."
Once Clarkson finally did get the keys to drive the car, he made sure everyone would remember the name on the back of his Lakers jersey. Over 38 games as a starter, the second-round pick who had previously been without expectations suddenly created them.
Averaging 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.1 steals on 45.8% shooting, Clarkson was easily Los Angeles' best player on the floor, even prompting some comparisons to Russell Westbrook when delivering with his most impressive athleticism. By the time April rolled around, the final month of a dark, miserable nightmare of a Lakers season, Clarkson was emerging as the sole and shining bright spot. Finishing his year with the best month of his rookie campaign (19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 47.7% shooting), Clarkson earned a spot on the NBA's All-Rookie First Team alongside four former first-round selections.
Now, an obvious piece to a puzzle that's still having its pieces sorted out, the Lakers, the NBA and the entire world will get to have a better understanding of what type of player Clarkson can become. While nothing about what he achieved in his first season should simply be thrown away (Michael Carter-Williams says hello), it would be irresponsible not to acknowledge the fact that Clarkson's production, at least partially, was a product of the roster and system around him.
Now surrounded by a significantly upgraded cast in Kobe, Randle, No. 2 pick D'Angelo Russell and Roy Hibbert, Clarkson will not be serving as a one-man wrecking crew. Instead, he'll be playing within the context of the game, adjusting to not having the ball in his hands on every possession and finding new ways to grow.
Despite our inclination to size up a body of work when judging a professional athlete's career, we also have a strange pattern of making declarative projections based on just what's happened on a year-to-year basis. And those projections, usually centered entirely around on-court factors, almost always overlook and ignore the impact of an off-court situation.
Clarkson, who has dealt with so much changing so quickly around him at every turn ever since starting his NBA career firmly under the intense heat of the Lakers' spotlight, has already forced many to re-write their unofficial scouting report on him in their very official analysis.
It's one thing to be the best player on one of the league's worst teams. It's entirely another to be a franchise cornerstone. We won't know who Jordan Clarkson is as an NBA player after this season concludes, but we'll certainly have a more complete—but still evolving—picture to view.

It's mostly good I think. There is a nasty design flaw in the gettext library code. If a locale is not 100% implemented (currency formats, telephone formats, etc.) then the locale is forced to C. The C locale is not UTF-8, and it disables translation. Also, the default ("" and no environment variables) is C. None of this is required by any standard; it's just broken. I have no means to beat the stupid out of gettext/glibc. The result is that languages like Zapotec are trouble. Setting LANGUAGE does work, provided that you also set LC_ALL to some random system-supported locale. We can essentially call Zapotec a dialect of es_MX. A trouble with this is that such a setting probably shouldn't get passed to lpr. Anybody going to a Linux conference? If so, please find a glibc or gettext developer to pester in person. On the bright side, there is potential for fallback languages.

Pivot Point Consulting named Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Company
Pivot Point Consulting was revealed as the 2014 Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Company tonight after having increased revenue by 750 percent between 2011 and 2013.
This is the fourth year that the Puget Sound Business Journal has held the Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Company Awards at the Golf Club at Newcastle. Nearly 350 people attended to honor companies that experienced rapid revenue growth between 2011 and 2013 and have contributed in a major way to the Puget Sound region's economy.
To be eligible for the awards the companies must be privately held with headquarters in on Washington's Eastside. For this award program's purposes, the Eastside is defined as bordered on the west by Lake Washington and on the east by the Cascade Mountains, on the north by the Bothell/Woodinville area and on the south by Renton. The companies can't be a subsidiary or subdivision of another company, and companies needed to have at least $500,000 revenue in 2011 and have ended 2013 with increased revenues.
In 2011, the 50 companies that made this year's Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies List recorded revenue of nearly $654 million. That's nothing to sneeze at! But compare that to 2013. Collectively, they recorded revenue of about $1.4 billion. That's a collective 106.3 percent increase!
If that wasn't enough to stoke the economic engine, they've all been hiring. Since 2011, together they have increased their employment ranks by more than 62 percent. They employ 7,506 people. And 100 percent of the executives who answered our survey said they are currently hiring or plan to hire in the coming months.
At the award ceremony, Business Journal Publisher Gordon Prouty recognized 10 companies that have made the list all four years, lauding them for sustaining fast growth for so many years.
Those companies are: 110 Consulting Inc., Affirma Consulting., Akvelon Inc., Cashmere Molding Inc., Cobalt Mortgage, Evergreeen Capital Management, RSVP Real Estate, SST Group (dba Seattle Sun Tan), Winshuttle and Xtreme Consulting Group.
He and fellow emcee, Business Journal Columnist Patti Payne, then counted down the fastest-growing companies, revealing their ranking. The top 10 companies can be seen by clicking through the slide show to the right.
Pivot Point Consulting earned the No. 1 rank by tapping into the needs of the health care industry. The changing regulatory landscape has created a large market for consultants and Pivot Point has stepped in to fill those needs.

Dr. Stepanian is the best Dr. I have ever seen. At first he may seem to be over cautious but once you get to know him as a patient you learn he truely wants whats best for you. Dr. Stepanian took time to sit down with me and answer any questions I had and explain things to me that other doctors don't take the time to do. He made myself and husband very comfortable and delivered all three of my children who were completely healthy. I owe my healthy and life to him, for caring for my high risk pregnancies and doing so well and composed. He is an excellent doctor and a good person.

Best OB I've had
There is nothing bad I can say about Dr. Stepanian. He took me on as a patient when I was 5 months pregnant and having trouble with my original OB. He was very attentive not only to me but he always included my children and husband during the visits. I only wish the people in Lancaster appreciated him more. I was disappointed when I showed up for my appointment and he was no longer there. When I told the receptionist I did not want to see the other doctor she told me I needed to find another ob/gyn.

I am writing this in the wake of my first experience of Spring Break in the drinking paradise that is Panama City Beach, FL. Rather than give a recap of my personal experience that will more than likely hinder my ability to ever receive employment again, I decided to make yet another list. I realize that this blog is slowly becoming a series of rambling, yet delightfully humorous lists, but whatever it's my blog and you can't tell me what to do with it. Maybe I'll just get a job at Buzzfeed or something.
I encountered a bevy of different alcohol imbibers during my week-long escapade and decided I should classify them. For those of you who are not familiar with Panama City, it is a small city on the Florida panhandle that is sometimes referred to as the "Spring Break Capital of the World". It is not your typical vacation town where you just lay on the beach, shop the boutiques, have some ice cream and maybe drink a Mai Tai or a Margarita. It is lined with bars with names like Harpoon Harry's and Hammerhead Fred's whose sole purpose is to get you as inebriated as possible. In addition, the beaches are filled by noon with large groups of scantily-clad college students from all over the country drinking liquor out of big water jugs and beer out of beer bongs. In other words, it's anarchy, and there are a few different types of people one encounters in this lawless land, and I am, of course, here to describe them to you in detail.
1. The "Woo Girl"
This girl came down for one reason and one reason only: to take as many shots as possible and yell "WOOOO PANAMA CITY" while dancing to songs like "Timber" by Ke$ha and Pit Bull or "Turn Down for What?" by DJ Snake and Lil' Jon. Once sufficiently inebriated (by about 1pm on most days) she will start stumbling around and talking to random guys walking on the beach and even the beach cops, while her poor boyfriend or friends from home try hopelessly to corral her. She inevitably ends up sleeping on the couch in her hotel by mid-afternoon and missing most of the fun but will put it off by saying "sorry I go hard" or something similar to that. There's also a 75% chance she gets a tattoo that she regrets as soon as she leaves the Florida border.
Woo Girl Anthem.
2. The Wet Blanket
This person is a direct opposite of the Woo Girl and can be in male or female form. This person had no idea what Panama City was like before arriving and just came to get a tan and maybe get a little crazy on one or two nights. They had a whole agenda planned out: maybe rent a scooter and go mini-golfing, but mostly just lounge by the pool and just chill out. By day 3 they are miserable and want to go home because they are tired of taking care of their drunk friends and keeps insisting that they do "something else fun". It's okay, this person probably only came because they offered to pay more or their parents are allowing them to use their car. The wet blanket ends up getting home after the trip and finding new friends.
This is how Wet Blanket pictured Spring Break.
3. The Push the Limits Guy
This man is what young men often call a "hardo". He follows the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar's hit single, "Swimming Pools". ("Pour up, Drank. Head shot, Drank. Sit down, Drank. Stand up, Drank. Pass out, Drank. Wake up, Drank. Faded, Drank. Faded, Drank"). He wants to drink as much as he can and then brag about it to everyone around him. He is most likely found holding a bacteria-filled beer funnel, a case of Natty Lite and a handle of liquor and is hitting both very hard at an ungodly early hour. However, unlike the woo girl, he is of large physical stature and will literally drink until his body completely rejects any alcoholic substance that tries to enter it. He will then proceed to force it down his throat until he is laying passed out in the sand with handle still in hand.
4. The Meathead Douche
This man-child is similar to the Push the Limits Guy only he does not actually drink very much and devotes much more time to hitting on girls and showing off his top-heavy physique. He still could be wielding a funnel but uses it mostly to find woo girls and get them to drink out of them and talk to him. He also has an inspirational quote tattooed somewhere on his body and is wearing a jersey or shirt from his high school sports team. He also insists on yelling out his college team cheer/fight song such as "Boomer Sooner" or "Pig Sooie". Seriously though, this guy is horrible and probably has no friends in real life. He may or may not have come down by himself.
5. The Wanderer
The Wanderer is a mysterious fellow/gal. One minute they are enjoying drinks at the bar or dancing the night away and the next minute they vanish for reasons unknown. Maybe they are following someone from the opposite sex, or saw someone with food and immediately sprinted toward the nearest restaurant. Or maybe they saw a seagull and chased after it. Who knows? The point is, this person has no regard for their friends or what they might think if they leave their immediate area. They also often employ one of my all-time favorite moves, "The Irish Goodbye".
I know there are probably many more specific types but I think they all basically fit into one of these five categories. And everyone has been complaining about the length of my blogs. Plus I am still recovering from the past week so I don't feel like writing anymore. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face: I'm the blogger of the people.

text: Home > Medical > Asthma > Asthma and children Updated 02 August 2017 BPA raises risk for childhood asthma Children exposed to the plastics chemical bisphenol A had an elevated risk for asthma 0 toddler bottle ~ Researchers at the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health at the Mailman School of Public Health are the first to report an association between early childhood exposure to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) and an elevated risk for asthma in young children. BPA is a component of some plastics and is found in food can liners and store receipts.Results appear in the March edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology."Asthma prevalence has increased dramatically over the past 30 years, which suggests that some as-yet-undiscovered environmental exposures may be implicated. Our study indicates that one such exposure may be BPA," says lead author Kathleen Donohue, MD, an assistant professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and an investigator at the Center for Children's Environmental Health.How the study was doneDr. Donohue and her co-investigators followed 568 women enrolled in the Mothers & Newborns study of environmental exposures. BPA exposure was determined by measuring levels of a BPA metabolite in urine samples taken during the third trimester of pregnancy and in the children at ages 3, 5, and 7. Physicians diagnosed asthma at ages 5 to 12 based on asthma symptoms, a pulmonary function test, and medical history. A validated questionnaire was used to evaluate wheeze.After adjusting for second hand smoke and other factors known to be associated with asthma, the researchers found that post-natal exposure to BPA was associated with increased risk of wheeze and asthma. BPA exposure during the third trimester of pregnancy was inversely associated with risk of wheeze at age five. This unexpected finding is in contrast to the results of a previous study, which found that BPA exposure during the second trimester, a critical period for the development of airways and the immune system, was positively linked with risk for asthma.Increased risk for wheeze and asthma was seen at "fairly routine, low doses of exposure to BPA," says Dr. Donohue. "Like most other scientists studying BPA, we do not see a straightforward linear dose-response relationship."At all three time points, more than 90% of the children in the study had detectable levels of BPA metabolite in their bodies, a finding that is in line with previous research. This does not mean that they will all develop asthma, cautions Dr. Donohue. "Just as smoking increases the risk of lung cancer but not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer, not every child exposed to BPA will develop asthma."The biological mechanism behind the BPA-asthma connection is unclear. The current study found no evidence that exposure to BPA increased the risk that the immune system would develop more antibodies to common airborne allergens. "Other possible pathways may include changes to the innate immune system, but this remains an open question," says Dr. Donohue.The new study builds on existing evidence linking BPA exposure to respiratory symptoms, as well as to obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and behavioural issues, among a range of health problems. In July, the Food and Drug Administration banned BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups."It is very important to have solid epidemiologic research like ours to give the regulators the best possible information on which to base their decisions about the safety of BPA," says senior author Robin Whyatt, DrPH, professor of Environmental Health Sciences and deputy director of the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health.To reduce exposure to BPA, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) recommends avoiding plastic containers numbers 3 and 7, eating less canned food, and, when possible, choosing glass, porcelain, or stainless steel containers, especially for hot food and liquids.

This pristine white sandy beach, which is within Arikok National Park, actually takes its name from two limestone caves. Although strong currents make this a less than ideal place for swimming, it's a haven for both sunbathers and surfers, and it's also a worthy sight if you're hiking through the national park.
Each of the limestone caves here forms a cove, and one forms the perfect spot for island surfers. Other nearby beaches of note include the rolling dunes of Boca Prins and Daimari Beach to the north.

I have a dataset full of 0s and 1s, and when I visualize it with t-SNE, which does dimensionality reduction. There is clearly some structure in it as shown below. Each color corresponds to a particular category. There are 10 categories, and there are roughly 180 data points for each category. Each data point is a 64-dimension vector, i.e. there are 64 features. The category information is NOT used by t-SNE, and the coloring is applied after t-SNE run is done.
Since the dataset is all 0s and 1s, and each data point is a 64 vector, so I thought I could plot them as 8x8 dimension binary images as shown below. I have plotted 3 examples for each category
If you compare among images in a single column, there appear to be some similarity sort of. If you compare among images in a single row, they look random to me. My question is that is there such an algorithm for rearranging the pixels, which is equivalent to reordering the elements in the original 64-dimension vector, so that MAXimize the visual similarity among images in each column (i.e. make them look as similar as possible) while MINimizing the visual similarity among images in each row (i.e. make them look as different as possible)? The whole point to make it easy to spot visual patterns for different categories if possible.
Thank you for @aelguindy's answer. For the record, I posted what the images look like before scrambling.
This notebook shows how the scrambled version is generated. This dataset is only for experiment. I have another real dataset of 0s and 1s that have nothing to do with hand-written images, of which I was trying to find visual patterns if possible.

This will not be an algorithm in the usual sense. It's a bunch of heuristics that you may find useful. The main difficulty comes from the undefined nature of the phrase "visually similar".
If I understand your question correctly. You have a few separate problems:
Defining what pairwise "visual similarity" is
You are looking for a function $S$ of two vectors to the interval $[0, 1]$. I imagine that you want it to ideally satisfy the following:
- $S(\vec{x}, \vec{x}) = 1$, which means that a vector is most visually similar to itself.
- $S(\vec{x}, \vec{y}) = S(\vec{y}, \vec{x})$, which means that measuring similarity between $x, y$ does not depend on their order.
- $S(\vec{1}, \vec{0}) = 0$, which means that the most unsimilar vectors are the all-ones-vector and all-zeroes-vector.
Even with these restrictions you have a lot of choices. You can just count the number of matching pixels, but a one pixel shift in the image could give you maximum mismatch even if the images are visually very similar.
One simple heuristic that may suffice is counting all matching pixels. Then adding the number of $2\times2$ squares having a matching number of ones (sliding the comparison over all possible sub-squares), ..etc. You can try giving less weight to bigger squares. If you normalize by the maximum value you get (which is computed by comparing an image to itself). You get a value from 0 to 1. It's clear that this satisfies the assumptions above and captures similarity better than just comparing pixels.
These ideas are just examples of what you can do. If you experiment a bit, you can find some interesting $S$'s that capture your personal notion of visual similarity.
Deciding what you want to maximize for the data set.
Now assuming you have such an $S$, the question becomes what do you want to optimize. For a column (resp row), you can compute the sum or the median or the minimum (resp maximum). You can try to maximize the average column similarities minus the average row similarities or something of that sort.
Again, for an abstract $S$ that is not perfectly defined, you need to try different options and see what works best. As a guideline, optimizing for median vaguely means you optimize the common case, while allowing for outliers.
Quickly computing a permutation on $[1 \dots 64]$ that maximizes this quantity.
For some choice of $S$ and a choice of optimization criterion, it is extremely unlikely that you will find an efficient algorithm that finds the permutation optimizing that criterion. As you noticed in your question, the number of permutation grows very quickly with the size of the image.
One common heuristic that works quite well and is really easy to code, is local search. The idea is:
// Obj(p) is the criterion to be maximized. opt = null for t trials: p = random permutation for s steps: p' = copy p randomly swap two (or three) elements of p' if Obj(p') > Obj(p): p = p' if Obj(p) > Obj(opt): opt = p
This usually works well in practice. You have the knobs s and t that control the running time, you can even run the different trials fully in parallel. Increasing them usually yields better and better results. t controls the number of "starting points" for the search, which s controls the depth of the search. Again, you will need to experiment a bit.
Hope this helps.

My feedback
77 votesunder review · AdminMaya Prohovnik (Admin, Anchor) responded
We'd like to better support multiple accounts or give you a way to run multiple stations from a single account. For now, the best way to run multiple stations is to create a different Anchor account for each station. Each account will need its own unique email address (or social login) to sign up. Note that you can use the gmail + trick, ie you could have 3 accounts with the following "unique" email addresses:
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
The emails will all go to your primary "firstname.lastname@example.com" account, but our system will register them as separate signups. We hope this helps!Garrett Mickley commented
This is pretty much the only feature I can think of that I want. Everything else I need is there.
