A $20 billion splurge by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold on two oil exploration companies lives up to the worst standards of the energy resources sector.
The updated bulletin welcomes a new political focus on cities but warns against too much piecemeal, kitsch development, as well as low standards ('we have the worst standards of contemporary housing in the whole of western Europe'), too many overlapping regeneration bodies, plus the lack of real city and regional power, and the continued trend towards monocultural enclaves.
Noting that Japan has "the worst standards for long working hours among advanced nations", the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun said that a 2014 law designed to prevent karoshi had not changed the prevailing work culture of devotion and self-sacrifice, even at the expense of employees' health.

The locals were chosen (mostly from an orphanage) for their ability to communicate the worst possible standard of living, and the meaning of the twitter meme, it seems, wasn't really explained to them.
This table presents the best function values in four kinds of statistics, which are best, median (med), worst, and standard deviation (std).
Table 6 summarizes the comparative results of these problems solved by ATMDE and AATM in terms of the "best", "mean", "worst", and "standard deviation" metrics.
The results by ATMDE is significantly better than those solved by AATM in 8, 11, 11, and 15 functions in terms of the "best", "mean", "worst", and "standard deviation" criteria, respectively.
This table includes the known "optimal" solution for each benchmark function and the "best", "median", "mean", "worst", and "standard deviation" of each test function solved by the ATMDE algorithm.
More specifically, the results achieved by ATMDE are better than those solved by ATMDE1 in 6, 6, 7, 7 and 14 functions in terms of the "best", "median", "mean", "worst", and "standard deviation" criteria, respectively.
