Automatic Diagnosis of 3D MRA
Development of a System for the Automatic Diagnosis of 3D MRA image data sets
Senter, Ministry of Economic Affairs
Patrick de Koning
Contrast enhanced (CE) Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) provides 3D images of the morphology of the blood vessels in the body. Interpretation of these 3D images is carried out using 2D projection images called Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP). Using this projection images results in the loss of information, because all information on the 3D space is compressed into a 2D image. This results in the over projection of vessels. Without advanced analytical software, the value of MRA is limited and this advanced technology cannot be used to its full potential.
The goal of the project is find answers to the following questions:
- Is it possible to segment a 3D CE MRA dataset with minimal user interaction?
- Is it possible to use a coarse segmentation of a vascular structure in a 3D MRA dataset to improve the visualization of the vessels?
- Is it possible to use a coarse segmentation of a vascular structure to visualize specific vessel segments in an optimal view?
- Is it possible to determine the boundaries of the vessel wall accurately in a 3D CE MRA dataset?
- With what accuracy can we quantify a stenosis?
- For which anatomical regions can these new algorithms be used?
- How can the image processing algorithms that will be developed, be applied in a clinically useful software package?
- Does the newly developed software improve the interpretation of 3D CE MRA compared to the conventional techniques?
The problem can be broken down to three separate parts. The first part consists of finding the path of a vessel. The second part segments the vessel and the third and final part calculates clinically relevant parameters of the segmented vessel.
1) The first stage can be divided into a user part and an automatic part. The user has to define the beginning and the end of a vessel segment by placing a start- and endpoint.
The placement of the points is done using the orthogonal projections of the 3D data, either using MIP or Closest Vessel Projection (CVP). In order to place a point in 3D space, it has to be placed correctly on at least two projections. By using a z-buffer created during the generation of the projections, we can position the point in 3D using only one projection.
Placing the start and endpoint needed for the detection of the centerline
The automated part calculates a path from start to endpoint. This is accomplished by using a wave front propagation followed by a backtrack and finally a correction to form the centerline of the vessel.
The WaveProp algorithm simulates the propagation of a wave through a medium. The speed of the propagation is locally defined by a speed function, which relates local intensity values to a speed. The movie below shows the propagation of a wave through a 2D image.
The movie below shows the expanding wavefront. The arrival time of the wave at any given point is indicated by the height (z-value). This arrival time is used for the next stage of the centerline detection. The movie show the expansion in a 2D image, the arrival time is the height. The image below shows the input image of the WaveProp with the startpoint indicated.
The result of the WaveProp algorithm on a 2D image. The height of the image represents the arrival time of the wave at each point. You can clearly sea that the wave expands first through the vessel and then through the remaining parts of the image
The backtracking is the second stage of the centerline detection. This algorithm actually finds a path from end- to start-point (that's why it's called backtrack). The detected path is the fastest route from start- to endpoint for the given speed function.
The movie below shows how this backtracking looks like in 2D. The algorithm simply performs a steepest descent. The arrival time image has no local minima, so the backtrack always ends in the point from which the propagation started.
Performing a backtrack on the results of the WaveProp. You can see the red ball rolling down to the starting point.
The third and final stage of the centerline detection is a correction of the backtrack. Because the backtrack is the fastest route from end- to start point, it tends to cut the corners.
It is impossible to determine the actual centerline without a segmentation that tells you what the boundary of the vessel is, so we can only estimate the boundary and move the pathline to the center of this estimate. The pictures show the correction from pathline (purple) to centerline (blue).
2) The second stage of our approach uses a model of a vessel to segment the vessel.
In order to segment the vessel wall, we first perform a Curved Multi-Planar Reformat (CMPR). This transformation turns the curved vessel into a straight vessel in which the detected centerline forms the exact center of the data set.
After the CMPR, we use a model of a vessel (a tube) to fit it to the data. After this segmentation, we can view the result in the CMPR space, or convert it back to our original image.
Curved Multi-Planar Reformat (CMPR) of a carotid artery. This image was generated using a pathline through the common and internal carotid artery.
Fitting of a vessel model onto the CMPR image
Result of the fitting procedure. You can clearly see that the fit is very well to the image.
The result of the fitting process converted from CMPR space to the regular space.
3) The final stage of our 3-stage analysis calculates the clinically relevant parameters that the user can use to make a diagnosis for the patient. A sample of the parameters we can calculate is shown below, where we calculated the cross sectional area (CSA). We can also calculate circumference, mean- min- max- diameter and we can perform a principal component analysis (PCA) to derive the main axes of the contour.

It's Got Range
To say Sally and Sam Hooper are busy people is definitely an understatement. Sally runs her own PR and events company and the Hoopers also run their own company developing restaurants. With Pot Sticker Dumpling (which they developed and sold) and Sister Kong under their belt, the couple are both now creating two new ventures; Bar Yoku, and Salut! Salut! Vino + Tapas Bar in the The Welder – a new precinct on Welles Street – the pair needed a vehicle that could handle everything a varied day in Ōtautahi's central city can throw at you.
Enter: The Range Rover Sport HSE – the most dynamic and versatile SUV, delivering exceptional performance and outstanding capability, allowing you to navigate the Christchurch CBD with the same confidence as Coronet Peak, and offering up to 3,500kg towing capacity.
Sam and Sally are no strangers to the Range Rover brand – from a Discovery to Defenders, the brand is firmly solidified as their first choice for a family vehicle.
For Sally, running her company, Humpty Dumpty, means she's on the road a lot. It's all about the drive.
"On any given day, I'm visiting event spaces and carrying around supplies for clients, not to mention our daughter and her carseat, and the dogs."
The Powerful SDV8 HSE Dynamic 4.4L diesel engine in the model driven by the Hoopers means this vehicle is lighter on the roads, and the wallet.
Sam is keen on the drive, also. "There's no roll. Often you find that with larger SUVs, when taking a corner, you feel like you're driving a boat. Everything shifts to one side. Driving this is comparable to driving a car. It doesn't feel like an SUV when you're behind the wheel."
This can be partly attributed to the air suspension. This delivers a sure footed and composed drive. At higher speeds, the air suspension lowers reducing drag and improving efficiency. Automatic access height, delivered through air suspension, allows occupants to more easily enter and alight by lowering the vehicle height by 50mm.
Sally mentions she loves the increased visibility from the driver's seat. Range Rover have included a distinctive sports command driving position, which elevates the driver providing sweeping views and delivering a more confident drive. This also helps with parallel parking – something that Sally finds surprisingly easy in a vehicle of this stature.
One thing is for certain about the Range Rover Sport HSE – it's a good looking unit.
Its low, sporty stance is enhanced by the redesigned grille, sports bonnet and vents, integrated exhaust finishers, and refined and sporty wheel choices.
Inside, the clean modern design of the interior space is complimented by enhanced ambient interior lighting. The signature cockpit has been redesigned with meticulous detail with the finest materials combined with sports detailing.
There's also enhanced flexible storage, including an upper glove box, deep storage under the cup holders and a centre console with optional refrigeration unit. Perfect for a roadie with the family.
The Range Rover Sport range includes a choice of refined advanced petrol and diesel engines and the efficient new Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) adds the benefits of a whisper quiet electrified powertrain.
Both luxurious and practical – the Range Rover Sport HSE is a vehicle that's designed to command attention.

The position of the aunt is more important than the aunt's. The easiest to lose is the most harmful to the health. The most unsatisfactory body may be healthier. What is it?
Aunt is an inedible nutrient for humans, and our brain cells and nerve cells and hormones need aunts.
1 gram can produce a 9-card moment, our body does not have to work hard, can absorb sputum; unfortunately heating will melt, but no one dares to do so.
More and more people have increased because of unfortunate reasons (eat, increase spending, increase hospital costs), and many unfortunate things have become public.
銆€銆€1, the position of the aunt is more important than the aunt's weight is not enough health standards.
You can weigh too much, but you can't make extra cockroaches where you shouldn't have long.
Some embarrassing locations are very dangerous.
銆€銆€The accumulation of feces near the liver and other abdominal organs is the most terrible.
You can't feel it, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but it can inject fat directly into the liver through the bloodstream at a very fast rate.
Endangers the ability of the liver to control insulin in the blood.
Cause metabolic disorders, induce diabetes, and high blood pressure.
銆€銆€As a woman, about 40% of our body?
45% of the cockroaches, 5% of them?
10% belong to the abdominal cavity.
We can go to a specialized medical institution to measure abdominal cramps, or we can measure the waist circumference by the simplest method.
銆€銆€If a woman's waist circumference exceeds 88cm, it is considered to be a high risk.
Even if it is not for beauty, it should be for healthy weight loss.
銆€銆€2, the pressure will make the abdominal fat thickening pressure will also increase the fat in the abdominal cavity.
銆€銆€When you feel stressed, your body will produce excessive amounts of hydrocortisone. This hydrocortisone will cause excessive secretion of hormones, causing more aunts to accumulate in the abdominal cavity.
銆€銆€Mothers and we are very different in body shape. When they are young, most of them are fat in the lower body and fat in the upper body. And we, the excess meat is around the waist and the belly is circled.
銆€銆€3, pear-shaped body healthier research shows that although you have extra abdominal aunts, but if you also have extra thighs aunt, then you can be a little relieved.
Because this shows that your thigh can suck a certain misfortune from the blood circulation, avoid high blood lipids and arteriosclerosis, inhibit the incidence of heart disease.
銆€銆€One of the functions of the plump thighs that we have always disliked is the large 濮?receiver.
銆€銆€In this respect, our women have a big advantage over men, that is, about 80% of women are pear-shaped bodies with slightly thicker thighs.
The pear shape is smaller than the apple, and the risk of cardiovascular and diabetes is smaller.
銆€銆€But this does not mean that a pear-shaped woman can sit back and relax.
Because this advantage will disappear after menopause.
銆€銆€Before and after menopause, a decrease in estrogen levels leads to an unfortunate redistribution in the body.
Therefore, when we are young, we have to control the weight even if we have a small pear. Otherwise, the weight of menopause will climb and the chance of metabolic disorder will increase significantly.
銆€銆€4, the gene does not necessarily say that a study on twins shows that the impact of genes on aunt accounted for 60%?
銆€銆€The study selected 12 pairs of twin fetuses, who took an additional 1000 calories per day and, after one hundred days, gained an average of 22 kg.
Some of them increased by 8 pounds, and some people increased by 24 pounds.
At the same time, for the twin fetus, the excess increased position is almost the same, but the overall weight of the increase is not exactly the same. It is obvious that the gene plays an important role, but it is not an absolute effect.
銆€銆€There are many reasons for the difference in weight gain. Some people who say that they are annoyed will burn more calories, while some people will recover their metabolic rate.
Experts say that regardless of genetic factors, excessive sputum in the abdominal cavity is a lifestyle problem that can be changed.
銆€銆€5, the most unfortunate injury to the body is also the most easy to lose the slightest good news: the most unfortunate damage to the body is also the most easily lost.
銆€銆€Studies have shown that every 10% of body weight lost will be able to reduce 30% of abdominal cavity spasms.
Every time they lose weight, they are the first to be lost. On the contrary, "fat people are also fat first."
The most harmless cockroaches are also the most difficult to lose. Some cockroaches stacked on the thighs and hips are always overlapped until they are finally lost.
It can be seen that God's prayer for our beauty is far less than the blessing of health.
Losing weight is more likely to get God's favor in the name of health.
銆€銆€6, eat less than more exercise to lose weight, but exercise is more suitable for weight loss if you weigh 120 pounds, fast walking 1 hour 10 minutes consume about 390 cards.
Eat a piece of black forest cake, and the transformation is back.
Just don't eat this cake, but we can't do it!
From the long-term goal of real life, it is more difficult to change our eating habits than to develop exercise habits.
So we choose to increase the exercise appropriately and make some minor adjustments in the diet.
銆€銆€7, reduce 2 pounds per week too much to lose 2 pounds per week, which means that you need to consume 1000 calories per day.
Even experts think this is too difficult!
So the revised suggestion: you can lose 1 kg of weight every two weeks, so you can lose 26 pounds in one year.
Don't stare at the weight meter, it will cause weight loss and it will be harmful to weight loss.
銆€銆€8, sleep more can reduce stress, avoid excessive eating, and maintain a happy mood.
Sleeping, but the metabolism continues, you can also consume 15 cards of conversion, although small, but can not be underestimated.
銆€銆€According to research in Japan, the main cause of body weight gain is the growth hormone secretion (HGH) deficiency that promotes bone and muscle growth. Especially after 30 years old, the growth hormone secretion level will be significantly reduced, and the body's slight burning rate will also decrease, so it is difficult.Keep your body shape.
銆€銆€HGH is secreted only during sleep at night, especially after 90 minutes of sleep, the secretion is the strongest, and the calories accumulated in the body can continue to burn.
So adequate sleep can help lose weight.
銆€銆€There are three main points: Do not eat for 3 hours before going to bed.
銆€銆€Do not exercise before going to bed (except for sex).
銆€銆€Three sleeps for about 7 hours.
Excessive sleep will increase weight.

Sensing performance of two-dimensional WTe 2-based gas sensors
Acta Physica Sinica,2019,Vol 68,No. 19
Since the discovery of graphene, graphene-based gas sensors have been widely studied, but the inherent zero band gap of graphene limits the response sensitivity of gas sensors. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal materials for designing nanoscaled highly-sensitive gas sensors due to their moderate band gaps, large surface-to-volume ratios, and high carrier mobilities. Tungsten ditelluride (WTe 2), as an important member of the TMDs family, has outstanding advantages such as high specific surface area, excellent selectivity, and fast response. WTe 2 has quite a high carrier mobility and thus can provide a great response speed for gas sensors compared with graphene, which motivates us to further explore WTe 2 as a promising sensing material. Recent studies have reported that monolayered and multilayered WTe 2 films have been successfully synthesized, and the precise control of the number of atomic layers of monolayered WTe 2 has been achieved. In this work, by density functional theory calculation, we examine the most stable adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, charge transfer, electrical and magnetic properties for each of the gas molecules (CO, CO 2, NH 3, NO, and NO 2) adsorbed on WTe 2 monolayer. The results show that all the adsorption of these gas molecules is physical adsorption, and the adsorption energy of N-based gas is smaller than that of C-based gas, indicating that WTe 2 is more sensitive to the adsorption of N-based gas molecules. The adsorption of NH 3 behaves as an electron donor with electrons transferred to WTe 2 monolayer. CO, CO 2, NO, and NO 2 are electron acceptors, which accept charges from the WTe 2 monolayer. Moreover, compared with the adsorption of CO, CO 2, and NH 3 gas molecules, the adsorption of NO and NO 2 gas molecules introduces impurity states near the Fermi level, which are mainly contributed by the N p orbital and O p orbital. In addition, the adsorption of NO and NO 2 induces magnetic moments of 0.99 µB and 0.80 µB, respectively. The results obtained in this work not only conduce to further understanding the charge transfer mechanism of gas molecules adsorbed on WTe 2 monolayer, but also indicate the promising prospects of developing WTe 2-based ultra-sensitive gas sensors.
A new method of multi-atlas segmentation of right ventricle based on cardiac film magnetic resonance images
Acta Physica Sinica,2019,Vol 68,No. 19
Segmentation of right ventricle (RV) in a cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) image is essential for the diagnosis and therapy of cardiac diseases. Traditional image segmentation methods fail to achieve high accuracy due to the complex structure of RV. Multi-atlas frame, which transforms the segmentation into registration and fusion, has become one of the main segmentation methods of RV in recent years. In this paper, we suggest a new multi-atlas frame for the automatical and accurate segmentation of RV. Firstly, an adaptive affinity propagation algorithm is used to obtain a series of atlases, in which the atlas set most similar to the target image based on hausdorff distance and normalized mutual information is selected. Then, the target image is registered onto the selected atlas by using multi-resolution strategy-based affine transform and Diffeomorphic demons algorithm to generate a deformation field, which is applied to the label image to obtain the coarse segmentation results of RV. Finally, the Consensus Level, Labeler Accuracy and Truth Estimation (COLLATE) algorithm is used to fuse the coarse segmentation result to obtain the RV. The 30 cine CMR datasets are applied to the retrospective analysis. The comparison between RV value from the present algorithm and that from the manual segmentation shows that the average Dice index and Hausdorff distance are 0.84 and 11.46 mm, respectively; the correlation coefficients and deviation means of end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume and ejection fraction are 0.94, 0.90, 0.86, and 2.511 3, −3.478 3, 0.034 1, respectively. Compared with the convolutional neural networks, the new multi-atlas frame has an end-systolic volume close to the manual result. The results show that the suggested method improves the accuracy and robustness of segmentation of RV from the effective atlas selection and multi-resolution Diffeomorphic demons algorithm-based registration, and it promises to be applied to clinical diagnosis.
Transverse distribution of electron beam produced by relativistic picosecond laser in underdense plasma
Acta Physica Sinica,2019,Vol 68,No. 19
Energetic electron beam can be generated through the direct laser acceleration (DLA) mechanism when the high power picosecond (ps) laser propagates in underdense plasma, and the electron yield can reach several hundreds of nC, which has a great application in driving secondary radiations, such as bremsstrahlung radiation and betatron radiation. When a linearly polarized laser is used, the beam divergence is always larger in the laser polarization direction. Moreover, the forked spectral-spatial distribution is observed in the experiments driven by femtosecond (fs) lasers where DLA is combined with the laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). The forked distribution is regarded as an important feature of DLA. However, an analytical explanation for both the bigger divergence and the forked spectral-spatial distribution is still lacking. Two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell simulations of ps laser propagating in underdense plasma are conducted in this paper to show how the fork is formed in DLA. The forked structure is a reflection of the distribution of electron transverse velocities. We find that when electrons are accelerated longitudinally, the transverse oscillation energy in the laser polarization direction increases correspondingly. If the electron energy is high enough, the transverse oscillation energy will increase linearly with the electron energy. As a result, the most energetic electrons will have an equal amplitude of v y, where v y denotes the velocity in the laser polarization direction. For a single electron, the distribution of its transverse velocity over a long period d P/d v y, will peak at ± v m ( v m denotes the amplitude of v y). If all the electrons have the same v m, the distribution of v y at given time will be the same as d P/d v y, indicating that they will split transversely and lead to a forked spectral-spatial distribution. By a simplified model, the analytical expression of v m is derived, showing good agreement with v m in the PIC simulation. However, the oscillation energy in the direction perpendicular to polarization will decrease when electrons are accelerated longitudinally (acceleration damping). As a consequence, the divergence perpendicular to the polarization direction will be smaller. Our research gives a quantitative explanation for the transverse distribution of electrons generated by DLA. With some modification, it can also be used in DLA combined with LWFA to better control the dephasing length.
Research advances in acoustic metamaterials
Acta Physica Sinica,2019,Vol 68,No. 19
Acoustic metamaterials have opened up unprecedented possibilities for wave manipulation, and can be utilized to realize many novel and fascinating physical phenomena, such as acoustic self-collimation, cloaking, asymmetric transmission, and negative refraction. In this review, we explore the fundamental physics of acoustic metamaterials and introduce several exciting developments, including the realization of unconventional effective parameters, acoustic metasurface, total sound absorption, high-resolution imaging, parity-time-symmetric materials, and topological acoustics. The acoustic metamatetials with negative effective parameters that are not observed in nature expand the acoustic properties of natural materials. Acoustic metasurfaces can exhibit wavefront-shaping capabilities, with the thickness being much smaller than the wavelength. The precisely designed matematerials provide the new possibility of steering waves on a subwavelength scale, which can be used for acoustic high-resolution imaging beyond the diffraction limit. The metamaterial absorbers can achieve total sound absorption at low frequencies and exhibit broadband absorption spectra. Moreover, the structure designs guided by the topological physics further broaden the whole field of acoustic metamaterials. Phononic crystals have become a flexible platform for studying the new physics and exotic phenomena related to topological phases. Finally, we conclude the developments of acoustic metamaterials, discuss the technical challenges, and introduce potential applications in this emerging field.

Israeli police have clashed with Muslim worshippers at a major Jerusalem holy site during prayers to mark the Eid al-Adha holiday.
Palestinian medics said at least 14 people has been wounded, one seriously, in the skirmishes at the site, which Muslims refer to as the al-Aqsa mosque and Jews as the Temple Mount. Police said at least four officers had been wounded.
Officers fired teargas, stun grenades and rubber bullets in the worst violence at the contested site in months. Witnesses said at least two people had been arrested.
The clashes come at a time of heightened tensions between Israel and Palestine, just days after an Israeli soldier was killed south of Jerusalem. Israeli troops killed four Palestinians who the army said had attempted to cross the Gaza border on Saturday.
Tens of thousands of Muslims had gathered at the site in Jerusalem's Old City early on Sunday for holiday prayers, police said. Jews were also observing the Ninth of Av on Sunday, a day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of the two Biblical temples that stood at the site in antiquity.
The site is the holiest for Jews and the third holiest for Muslims after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, and has long been a flashpoint and major point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Jordan, which serves as the custodian of the site, said in a statement that it had sent a formal complaint to Israel and condemned its "irresponsible provocations." Sufian al-Qudah, a spokesman for the Jordanian foreign ministry, said Amman held Israel completely responsible for the violence.
The clashes broke out after large numbers of Palestinians had gathered at the gates of the compound early Sunday in response to rumours circulated that police would allow Jewish visitors to enter the site. The protesters chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) and threw stones at police, who then charged into the compound while firing stun grenades and rubber-coated bullets.
Israeli police had initially barred entry to Jewish visitors, but reversed their decision after the clashes broke out and allowed them to enter.
The compound is in east Jerusalem, which Israel captured in the 1967 war along with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, territories the Palestinians claim as a future state. Israel views all of Jerusalem as its unified capital, while the Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as their capital.
Tensions have spiked since Donald Trump's decision in 2017 to break with international convention and recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the US embassy there. The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has been moribund for at least a decade, and the Palestinians have cut ties with the Trump administration over what they see as its bias toward Israel.
The Israeli army said troops had killed a Palestinian gunman in a separate incident on Sunday after he opened fire on them from across the perimeter fence around the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza identified the dead man as 26-year-old Marwan Nasser. It was not clear if he was a member of an armed group, and no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

From this point on, no more dates are given for the scenes.
It's frustrating, but the game typically doesn't keep track of days after the end of the Bell One. And since pretty much all of Arata's route takes place after that... well, we're locked into a dateless limbo.
several days later
Yuki: Arata-san! Let's eat lunch!
Arata: Okay, okay.
student 1: Oh, it's the Ace.
student 2: Hey. It's the star who won the Bell One!
Yuki: Oh, thanks.
student 1: Thanks for preventing the school closing!
Yuki: You're welcome...
Arata: What is it, Yuki? Shouldn't you be happier?
Yuki: I am happy.
Yuki: I mean, of course I'm happy that the school isn't closing.
Arata: That's right.
student 3: Hey, it's him.
student 4: Yeah. The guy who abandoned being the Ace's partner in the middle of the Bell One, isn't he?
Yuki: ...
student 3: And he was missing in the all-important final round.
student 5: Minase from the swim club. It seems he's always irresponsible.
(Yuki: Again... We can hear it.)
Maro: Kuu.
Arata: Yuki. Maro says you look scary.
Yuki: But, they...
Arata: Leave it, leave it.
Yuki: But they don't know anything.
Yuki: If we told them, everyone would understand.
Yuki: That it couldn't be helped because your grandma collapsed.
Arata: Mmm. That may be true.
Arata: But my grandma is fine now.
Arata: I don't want to make such a big deal out of it.
Yuki: I understand.
Yuki: Since you said that before too...
Arata: Then, no more talk about this.
Arata: Arata is already done eating. Why don't you eat too? Your katsudon is getting cold.
Yuki: Uwah!! That's right! I made sure to get hot food!
Arata: Amazing. You always get a big portion, but today it's especially piled up.
Yuki: The lunch lady kept it a secret from Sonoda-san and gave me a lot.
Yuki: As usual, you don't have very much, Arata-san.
Yuki: Although you always have yogurt and tofu.
Yuki: I can't believe that's enough.
Arata: Calorie control is also important for diving.
Arata: Speaking of which, I have practice, so I'll be going now.
Arata: Yuki, you enjoy your lunch.
Yuki: Right...
Yuki: ...*sigh*
(Yuki: I wonder why. Arata-san said to let it go.)
(Yuki: Even though he fulfilled his responsibility as my partner.)
(Yuki: The third round couldn't be helped, but he was with me the whole time in the first and second rounds.)
(Yuki: He helped me with my nervousness and encouraged me.)
(Yuki: So what's with this now?)
(Yuki: I'm the hero who protected BL School. Arata-san is the irresponsible guy who bailed at the last moment.)
(Yuki: That's really messed up.)
(Yuki: Arata-san should be angrier since it's about him.)
Yuki: Arata-san...
Yuki: I wanted to talk to him more today...
??: Yuki.
Yagami: What's up? You look bummed.
Yuki: Oh, it's Tomo and Yagami.
Yagami: What's with the 'oh'?
Yagami: You're making a stupid face.
Tomo: What's the matter? You're not with Arata-san today?
Yuki: Arata-san...
Yuki: *siiiigh*...
Yagami: W, what?
Tomo: Did something happen?
Yuki: Yes... well, kind of.
Yuki: When I was doing the Bell One, it was tough, but we met and talked every day, right?
Yuki: But now, not at all.
Tomo: Not at all...?
Yuki: Well, since we're in different years, we can't really meet during class or breaks, right?
Tomo: I guess not...
Yuki: Even after school, I have student council, and Arata-san has his club.
Yuki: We don't really have the same interests, and we don't go out together on days off.
Yuki: It's kind of like Arata-san has become really distant.
Yuki: I mean, it's boring or something.
Yagami: What's that supposed to be? Are you lonely?
Yuki: I'm lonely.
Yagami: Urgh. Don't just admit it.
Yuki: Buuut.
Yuki: Besides, somehow everyone around is acting weird.
Yuki: They're talking like I won the Bell One by myself.
Yuki: There's even guys who are badmouthing Arata-san.
Yuki: It's kind of...
Tomo: ...
Yagami: Ace-sama is displeased?
Yuki: Not displeased, more like gloomy.
Yuki: *siiiigh* I wonder whyyy.
(Yuki: I'm kind of nervous.)
Yuki: Even though I'm going to the pool, I don't really have any business.
Yuki: But...
Yagami: So stupid! If you're gonna go on and on worrying like that, go and see Arata, dumbass!
Yagami: If you have something you wanna say, go say it clearly! That's what a man does!
(behind the school building)
Yuki: That's right...
Yuki: But Yagami's right!
Yuki: If I don't like not seeing him, I should just go see him!!
(Yuki: Although, after all, I don't really have a reason.)
Yuki: I wonder if Arata-san's already at the pool?
(Yuki: If he is, what should I say to him?)
Yuki: Peeking in from the back, if anyone saw me, that would be kind of lame...
??: Huh? What is it?
Yuki: Uwaa!!
Yuki: A, Arata-san? What are you doing here?
Arata: I was running on the track.
Yuki: Running? Why by yourself...?
Arata: Hyahaha. Ace-kun, what are you doing?
Yuki: Oh, this, well...
Arata: What, what? Hide and seek?
Yuki: No...
Arata: Arata will hide with you too.
Yuki: Wah!?
Yuki: Arata-san... aren't you a little close...?
Arata: But it's hide and seek, isn't it? So, who are we hiding from?
Yuki: I told you...
swim club member 1: Seriously!?
Arata: ...*gasp*
(Yuki: That startled me, what was that? That loud voice just now.)
swim club member 2: You guys haven't heard yet?
(Yuki: Oh, they're from the swim club.)
(Yuki: I wonder if they're taking a break? It looks kind of like they got together to talk.)
swim club member 3: No way, Minase?
(Yuki: About Arata-san? What are they saying?)
(Yuki: Are they talking about the final round again?)
(Yuki: Then I have to go and tell them they're wrong.)
Yuki: Arata-san.
Arata: ...
(Yuki: Arata-san? He's grabbing my arm...)
(Yuki: It's kind of like he's stopping me...)
swim club member 2: Seriously, seriously. I heard it all at the joint training camp before.
(Yuki: The joint training camp? That's what Arata-san said was happening after the final round of the Bell One...)
(Yuki: Was that the one with swim clubs from other schools?)
(Yuki: Arata-san was visiting his sick grandma so he ended up not going.)
swim club member 2: That guy said he went to the same middle school as Minase.
swim club member 2: But he said that Minase was well-known for liking guys.
swim club member 1: Seriously?
swim club member 3: Liking guys... like that? Him?
swim club member 2: And that he caused problems in the swim club when he was in middle school.
swim club member 3: What problems? Relationship troubles? Jealousy issues?
swim club member 1: Whoa. A love triangle with all guys!?
swim club member 2: Who knows?
swim club member 1: What do you mean 'who knows?'
swim club member 3: Didn't you say you heard it all?
swim club member 2: Well, asking about details of stuff like that, no, it was a bit much for me.
swim club member 2: He kinda didn't want to.
swim club member 1: Hey, hey, hey, no way, was he a victim too?
(Yuki: Wha... A victim...?)
swim club member 2: Are we going to be targeted too?
swim club member 1: Uwagh. I change naked in front of him every day.
swim club member 3: Well, we all do, don't we? When we change, how about we all hide our fronts?
swim club member 1: Uwah, I'm gonna use a bath towel.
swim club member 1: Otherwise, he'll check out my privates.
swim club member 3: Someone like you doesn't have anything worth checking out.
swim club member 2: I'm pretty confident myself.
swim club member 3: You're an idiot.
swim club member 1: Ah, but I'm so glad Minase didn't attend the joint training camp.
swim club member 1: We woulda been in the same room.
swim club member 2: You were saved!
swim club member 1: Yeah, that would have been... creepy.
(Yuki: What's with them? That...)
Yuki: ...Arata-san.
Arata: ...What, Yuki?
...That's a lie, isn't it? [note!]If you choose this, you are locked into Arata's 'friendship' ending, which is the worst ending in the entire game. :x
Badmouthing you is cowardly.
(decision: Badmouthing you is cowardly.)
Yuki: That. Badmouthing you is cowardly.
Arata: Huh?
Yuki: But it is! Behind your back.
Yuki: Gossiping like that is cowardly!
Arata: Cowardly...?
Arata: Heh.
Yuki: What's so funny?
Arata: But Yuki, you don't care about what they're gossiping about?
Yuki: Oh, well...
Arata: Well?
Yuki: Well... I do care, but...
Arata: You do care.
Yuki: Yeah, well...
Yuki: B, but!
swim club member 3: Hey, that voice just now.
swim club member 2: Minase, you heard...
swim club member 1: Crap, the Ace is with him.
Yuki: Um...
Arata: Ahhh, you found out.
Yuki: Huh?
swim club member 3: Minase... seriously?
Arata: Tee hee hee hee hee. Well, who knowth?
Arata: But even li'l ol' me hath a type. [note!]Arata is speaking VERY flamboyantly in this scene, using feminine pronouns and verb endings, etc. His speech is intended to be shocking and 'stereotypically gay' to the player's ear.
swim club member 2: ...Type?
Yuki: Um, Arata-san? That's...
Arata: Beefcaketh like you guyth aren't my type.
Arata: How thoud I put it? I get all hot for cutie pretty boyth.
Arata: Don't forget it.
swim club member 3: Wha...
swim club member 2: Hey, hey, what's with that?
swim club member 1: Not funny! That's not funny, Minase.
Arata: Huuuh? It's no good?
swim club member 2: Geez, what is that? Minase, you're one of those?
Arata: Hyahahaha. That's right.
swim club member 3: Yeah, yeah, that's enough. The Ace next to him is frozen with surprise.
Yuki: Oh.
swim club member 3: We're going back now. You finish up your running too, Minase.
swim club member 3: And no more jokes.
Arata: Right, right.
swim club member 1: Ahh, can't be helped.
swim club member 2: So hey, anyway...
Yuki: Ah...
Arata: Whew.
Yuki: Um, Arata-san?
Arata: Hm, what?
Yuki: Before...
Arata: Hyahaha. After all, I guess it wasn't funny.
Yuki: Not funny...
(Yuki: Before, they said he likes guys...)
(Yuki: Was Arata-san really joking about that?)
(Yuki: Or was he worried about the swim club members?)
(Yuki: I don't know.)
(Yuki: I don't get it.)
Arata: Yuki, are you okay?
Yuki: No, I was a little surprised, I mean...
Yuki: This is the first time I've heard stuff like what the swim club members were saying.
Yuki: Something like that about someone I know personally.
Yuki: So I was kind of surprised, or rather, I didn't believe it...
Arata: I see.
Yuki: Before, what they were talking about,
Yuki: Was that true?
Arata: Who can say?
Yuki: If it's wrong, you have to deny it.
Arata: That's useless.
Yuki: Useless?
Arata: Right, useless.
Arata: It's useless to deny that kind of rumor.
Arata: Once there's a suspicion, it never really clears up.
Arata: Rumors don't last.
Yuki: Then what are you going to do?
Arata: Nothing.
Arata: I'm going to leave it alone until it dies down.
Yuki: Huh...?
Arata: It's fine like this.
Yuki: Like this...?
Arata: Even though he said to finish up, I think I'll run a little more.
Arata: See you later, Yuki.
Yuki: Arata-san?
Yuki: Oh...
(Yuki: He left.)
Yuki: I wonder if it's okay...
(Yuki: After all, I think he doesn't like that the people in his own club were talking like that.)
(Yuki: But Arata-san said to leave it alone...)
Yuki: *sigh*...
Yuki: I'll go back to the student council room.
Yuki: *sigh*...

Weddings at Riverlife
Why Choose Weddings at Riverlife
Weddings at Riverlife are always memorable for lots of good reasons. Riverlife is a unique venue. It is in an old naval stores building (plus outdoor decks with marquees) right on the banks of the Brisbane River at Kangaroo Point.
Unique Position
Riverlife sits at the base of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, just across the river from the CBD. There is car parking nearby, although the car parks are also popular with rock climbers at the Cliffs. Guests staying in the CBD can get to weddings at Riverlife by CityCat because the Kangaroo Point ferry terminal is a short walk away.
Choice of Ceremony and Reception Locations
Riverlife offers a choice of five ceremony and reception areas. There are four marquees over waterside decks. Each deck has stunning Brisbane City views. All the marquees are wheelchair friendly. The Cannon Room is indoors in the old Naval Stores. The ceremony is usually set up at one end of the marquee with the guests looking towards the river. A bar is often set up at the other end with the reception in between.
The venue caters for weddings of between 20 and 800 guests. Couples can book the entire complex for very large weddings at Riverlife.
Food and Drink
Riverlife prides itself on good food for both sit down meals and cocktail style receptions. It is fully licensed, but is also one of a handful of venues in Brisbane that allows hirers to BYO drinks.
Great Photos
One of the best things about weddings at Riverlife is the photos. Many couples time their ceremony so that their photographer gets beautiful sunset photos along the river. The rugged Kangaroo Point cliff face also makes a great backdrop for photos.
Great Value Wedding Packages
There is a choice of packages for weddings at Riverlife. Some are really great value because they include everything from a signing table for your ceremony to an events manager for your big day.
Weddings at Riverlife need a celebrant who loves this fabulous venue. CALL ME NOW.

The Nurse Who Remembered
Posted on November 6, 2010 by PamThorson in Caregiving
Nursing carries heavy responsibilities. It requires long days, longer nights, and impossible schedules. In celebration of one of my favorite nurses, I've reprinted an except of our story from my book Song in the Night. Her name has been changed, but everything else is as it happened in the summer of 1997. One nurse in particular […]

Is God Tired of Us?
Posted on May 4, 2009 by PamThorson in Devotionals
My son Kevin recently watched an award-winning 2006 documentary called God Grew Tired of Us. At his recommendation, I watched it last night. Kevin told me to be prepared to cry. I was prepared to cry. But I wasn't prepared to grieve. The camera follows the story of three young Sudanese men who emigrate to America from […]
An Every Day Thanksgiving

My husband and I were talking about the world situation the other day. From recent news reports, everything appears to be going to "hell in a hand basket," as my blessed mother would have said. I'm not sure what the phrase means, but when she used it about any particular situation, we always knew that life […]
Never Give Up
Posted on February 11, 2009 by PamThorson in Devotionals
I awakened this morning to snow…again. This is one of the longest winters I can remember, and as I face the prospect of another gray day, spring seems to be a distant hope. The morning drudgery is brightened by a steaming cup of coffee and my quiet time. I'm reading about Joseph in Egypt. As […]

Attract-Mode Support > General
Raspberry Pi F.A.Q.
(1/5) > >>
1. 90% of your issues will be resolved by making sure that you running the latest Raspbian, RetroPie and Attract-Mode. Please update these aspects of your Pi before asking questions.
Warning to upgraders: If you are upgrading from a version of Attract-Mode that was originally installed from the RetroPie Setup menu do not use these steps, instead upgrade using the RetroPie Setup menu like your original install. Failure to do so will result in two desperate Attract-Mode installations. This specific step is meant for people that have manually installed Attract-Mode from the command line or are installing Attract-Mode for the first time.
Upgrading Raspbian. (Raspbian wiki - https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md)
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
--- End code ---
Upgrading RetroPie (skip this step if you aren't using RetroPie). (RetroPie wiki - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Updating-RetroPie)
--- Code: ---sudo bash ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
--- End code ---
Choose option "U Update all installed packages"
Upgrading all aspects of Attract-Mode. (Attract-Mode wiki - https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-(Raspbian-Jessie))
--- Code: ---cd ~; mkdir develop
sudo apt-get install cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libjpeg-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev
cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi
mkdir sfml-pi/build; cd sfml-pi/build
cmake .. -DSFML_RPI=1 -DEGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DEGL_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libbrcmEGL.so -DGLES_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DGLES_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libbrcmGLESv2.so
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-shared
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ~/develop
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract
cd attract
make USE_GLES=1
sudo make install USE_GLES=1
cd ~; rm -r -f ./develop
--- End code ---
2. If you started with anything other than the latest RetroPie image directly from the RetroPie website, ask the creator of the image for solutions to your problems. They will be better suited to answer them since Attract-Mode can be built and configured many different ways.
3. Videos don't play, stutter, turn grey, etc.. Enable hardware video decoding or use lower resolution videos.
To enable hardware video decoding: Configure-->General-->Video Decoder = mmal (if you can't select "mmal" run the steps for Attract-Mode upgrade in F.A.Q. #1)
4. I have random weird things happen when I exit a game or use a RetroPie configuration menu. This is an old known bug, run the steps for Attract-Mode upgrade in F.A.Q. #1 to fix it.
5. Some emulators like Daphne and Advance MAME run behind AM (a.k.a. in the background), my RetroPie runcommand dialog doesn't show in AM, or my RetroPie Setup Menu doesn't work properly in AM. Configure-->General-->Window Mode = FullScreen Mode
6. How can I access the /home/pi/.attract/ folder from Windows without using 3rd party software? You can use the RetroPie GUI that is described here http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=821.msg8138#msg8138.
You can do it from the command line like this:
--- Code: ---sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
--- End code ---
Add these lines to the end of the file
--- Code: ---[attractmode]
comment = attractmode
path = "/home/pi/.attract"
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = pi
--- End code ---
restart the samba service
--- Code: ---sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
--- End code ---
7. How can I easily create custom wheels across mutiple emulators using the AM GUI? See this thread http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1165.msg8455#msg8455 .
8. I have a lot of roms, how can I skip a page or a letter at a time?
Set these controls:
Configure-->Controls-->Previous Page
Configure-->Controls-->Next Page
Configure-->Controls-->Previous Letter
Configure-->Controls-->Next Letter
9. How can I add menus to switch booting from Attract-Mode to EmulationStation and vice versa? How can I run RetroPie Setup options from Attract-Mode? This post has a script to setup it up http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1311.msg9542#msg9542
If you want to manually create a menu for the RetroPie Setup options in Attract-Mode see this post http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=869.msg6679#msg6679 . (Make sure you set Configure-->General-->Window Mode = FullScreen Mode)
10. In MAME emulators I see the romnames and not the friendly/nice looking game names. See these posts http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1764.msg12450#msg12450 and http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1665.msg11810#msg11810
11. I misconfigured my controls and now I can't make changes to correct them.
Reset your inputs to the default input mapping.
--- Code: ---nano ~/.attract/attract.cfg
--- End code ---
Replace the entire "input_map" section with the defaults listed below
--- Code: ---input_map
configure Tab
prev_letter Up+LControl
next_letter Down+LControl
filters_menu Left+LControl
next_filter Right+LControl
configure Escape+Up
edit_game Escape+Down
add_favourite Escape+LControl
prev_letter Joy0 Up+Joy0 Button0
next_letter Joy0 Down+Joy0 Button0
filters_menu Joy0 Left+Joy0 Button0
next_filter Joy0 Right+Joy0 Button0
configure Joy0 Up+Joy0 Button1
edit_game Joy0 Down+Joy0 Button1

--- End code ---
Restart Attract-Mode
12. How can I get rid of the boot text and images? Checkout this https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text.
13. How can I get rid of the terminal/console text I see when I launch a game or exit a game? Check out this post http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1642.0.
14. How can I have Attract-Mode default to my "Favorites" romlist instead of the "All" romlist? See this post http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=1613.0.
I'm building this in a pi3. Started from a freshly installed (latest) retropie image from retropie website, and followed all the steps.
However, when building ffmpeg with mmal, in the step when you do:
./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared
it does not recognize the --enable-memalign-hack option (it says unknown option), so i had to omit that option and do:
./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-shared
to be able to continue. Is that something to be concerned about? i'm getting some warnings when compiling (no errors, though) and i dont know if those warnings are supposed to happen...

--- End quote ---
I can confirm that the new ffmeg no longer supports the --enable-memalign-hack switch and it does seem to compile ok. I have adjusted the steps above to reflect the change.
I finished to compile it and i have the option to select mmal. However, my menus are a lot slower when using mmal, so i'm using software right now...
I'm glad you got it working. If mmal decoding is slower than software decoding your videos might not be using codecs supported by mmal. If this is the case, mmal tries to load them and fails so it resorts to using software decoding anyways. This could be the reason that mmal is slower on your build.

- Understand why turnover is expensive
- Learn when to connect with employees
- Learn how to start the onboarding process before the start date
- Learn the activities of orientation
- Learn the activities of onboarding
- Learn how the process works for different levels of employees
Statistics show that half of all hourly employees leave the job within four months of hire and half of all salaried employees leave their jobs within 18 months. This turnover is expensive. Much of this turnover can be prevented by a proper onboarding process.
The Orientation, the process of making someone an employee, is no longer sufficient. When so much of a company's success is dependent on the intellectual property that employees produce it is critical to make sure that the employee is fitting in and succeeding. This is what a successful onboarding process accomplishes.
Those companies that do not do this successfully suffer lower productivity, potential loss of customers, and of course the eventual loss of the employee and the resultant replacement costs.
- The cost of turnover
- The steps involved in onboarding
- Before the hire
- During the hire
- The first day
- The first week
- The ongoing process
- Special considerations for executives, nonexempt employees,and remote workers.
- In this webinar, we will learn the reasons onboarding is important today.
- We will learn that the terms orientation and onboarding are not interchangeable.
- We will learn that orientation is in reality just one step in the onboarding process.
- We will learn that the onboarding process begins before the hire is made.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - All 13 Walmart locations in the Richmond area that offer grocery pick-up will begin accepting SNAP benefits as payment.
Walmart began a pilot program in 2018 to have 3,100 pick-up locations nationwide and to accept SNAP payments to make it easier for customers to pick up groceries.
According to a press release, Walmart is the first retailer to accept SNAP payments through online grocery pick-up on a large scale.
To pay with SNAP benefits or EBT card, customers choose that option during checkout while making orders online or through the Walmart Grocery app. Customers will be asked to present their EBT card for payment once at the store.

On Wednesday I wrote again to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport raising the perilous financial state of our cultural industries – theatres, other live performance venues and the talent working across them again pressing for urgent, sector specific support before it's too late.
The sector will be one of the last to re-open because of the difficulty, in many cases impossibility, of operating with social distancing. Easing of restrictions does not always mean reopening – most simply cannot afford to reopen with capacity restrictions.
Redundancy consultation notices are now being issued, theatres around the country are going under – UK Theatre gave evidence to the DCMS Select Committee confirming that 70% could close by the end of this year.
Across live music, comedy & other live performance, significant numbers of skilled people who are the backbone of our cultural industries have been excluded from Treasury support schemes and as furlough is wound down, lack of income means large scale redundancies.
So a huge loss of talent and specialist skills – the engine room of our world-renowned cultural industries – that will severely impede post COVID recovery and renewal. The UK Government needs to act now.
Time is running out.

The story has been corrected on the wire, and the sixth paragraph now reads:
Gerard van der Wal, an attorney with Houthoff, typifies the case as relatively easy. "Microsoft charges significantly higher prices for the same software in the eurozone than it does in the United States, even though the costs can hardly differ. We argue that Microsoft infringes on article 81 of the European Treaty, which outlaws cartels and agreements limiting competition, as well as article 82, which bans the abuse of a dominant position," Houthoff told , an IDG affiliate.

Latin America will grow 1.1% in 2014, the lowest in five years, a drop in investment and low performance of its major economies, while for 2015 rose slightly to 2.2% is expected, reported this ECLAC Tuesday.
After the regional contraction of 1.3% recorded in 2009, the region achieved this year its weakest growth in five years, affected by the fall in economies like Argentina (-0.2%) and Venezuela (-3% ) and low growth in Brazil (0.2%), Mexico (2.1%) and Chile (1.8%), according to data from the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The annual figure compares unfavorably with the growth of 2.7% recorded average Latin American economies in 2013.
"The slowdown in the dynamism of the regional economy I became more apparent in the second quarter, simultaneously with contraction of investment in several economies in South America and a general slowdown in growth in consumption, especially private "explains ECLAC, a technical agency of the United Nations headquarters in Santiago.
The slowdown in investment observed since 2011 and in 2014 contracted by about 3.5%, is also "an important factor in the decline in the growth rate of GDP," the ECLAC. "Stimulating economic growth and reverse the slowdown in the current context of the global economy involves broader challenges for the region," said Alicia Barcena, Executive Secretary of ECLAC, at a press conference.
Among them, he said, "is required boost domestic demand dynamics favoring investment. This would impact positively on productivity and competitiveness of economies. "
Slight Rise in 2015
In the third and fourth quarter has seen a slight improvement in the growth rate, which foresees a rise to 2015, when a regional expansion of 2.2% is expected.
