Now use the Color Picker to select 63C, 76M, 38Y, and 22K as your background color. Inverse, and then target the top composite channel and Copy it to the clipboard. Switch to the Channels palette and Command-click the "Blue copy" thumbnail to generate a selection. Now go to Image > Adjustments > Black and White and use the drop-down menu to select the High Contrast Red Filter preset. Remember to toggle the visibility of the composite channel as you work. Zoom in and continue Erasing the hair using a smaller brush to create a clean edge. Use a large, white Hard Brush to Erase the right-hand shadow and hair. Hit Shift-Command-I to Inverse the selection, and then enable the visibility of the top composite channel (you can also Double-click the channel thumbnail to adjust its opacity to suit). The mask is looking good apart from the right-hand shadow. It's worth remembering that you can fill channel selections with white by switching the foreground color to black (press X) and hitting Delete. Now, back in your Channels palette, target the "Blue copy." Ensure white is set as your Foreground Color, and hit Delete to fill the selection with black. Switch to the Paths palette and Command-click your path thumbnail to generate a selection. Increase the contrast by setting the Midpoint to 0.25 and the Whitepoint to 235. Duplicate it by dragging its thumbnail onto the Create New Channel icon, and then hit Command-L to access the Levels dialogue box. Switch to the Channels palette and cycle through each one in turn to determine which holds the most contrast for the hair-in this instance it's the "Blue" one. Now we'll make a density mask for the hair. You can also fine-tune your path by holding the Command key to access the Direct Selection Tool to adjust the direction/anchor points. Remember to use the Alt, Command and Shift modifier keys as you work. Now select the Subtract From Path Area option to create the inner path on her right arm. I've stroked the path with red for clarity in the screengrab. You'll be isolating the figure next, so trim the excess background with the Crop Tool (C) as shown.Ĭhoose the Pen Tool (P) with it set to the Paths option to carefully plot your paths around the girl-don't sweat over the hair because you'll fix that later.

A higher BMI was significantly associated with a diagnosis of MOGAD-ON ( p < 0.001) in MOGAD patients the mean BMI was 31.6 kg/m 2 (standard deviation (SD) 7.2), while the mean BMI was 24.7 kg/m 2 (SD 5.3) in AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD patients, and 26.9 kg/m 2 (SD 6.2) in MS patients. Main outcome measures included BMI in patients with acute ON and subsequent diagnosis of MOGAD, AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD or MS. A mixed model analysis was performed to assess the potential of obesity or BMI to predict MOGAD-ON, and to distinguish MOGAD-ON from AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD-ON and MS-ON. The following data was collected: age, sex, ethnicity, BMI (documented before corticosteroid treatment), and the ON etiology after diagnostic work-up. In this multicenter non-interventional retrospective study, data was collected from patients with a first ever demyelinating attack of ON subsequently diagnosed with MOGAD (n = 44), AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD (n = 49) or MS (n = 90) between 20. We aimed to investigate a possible association between obesity (body mass index > 30 kg/m 2) in patients with MOGAD, aquaporin 4-IgG positive NMOSD (AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD) or MS. While obesity has been reported to potentially be a risk factor for MS, this has not been explored in NMOSD or MOGAD. The pathophysiology underlying these diseases, especially MOGAD, is still being elucidated. Optic neuritis (ON) is a frequent presentation at onset of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD).

(Blast off!) The Tohoku-Oki earthquake and subsequent intense seismic activity also had shed light on technical limitations of the Japanese nationwide earthquake early warning (EEW) system, which afterwards led to further developments of the system. The resulting strong ground shaking and large tsunami caused severe damage in a large part of eastern Japan. It has been 10 years since the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake (Tohoku-Oki earthquake), a M w9.0 megathrust event in the Japan Trench, occurred on March 11, 2011. Those findings indicate that the JMA EEW system has made substantial progress both on software and hardware aspects over the 10 years after the Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The detection time analysis for the S-net incorporation suggested that S-net enabled the system to issue the first EEW report earlier than before the S-net incorporation for earthquakes around the Japan and Kuril trenches. PLUM made the system less likely to underpredict strong ground motions and improved the warning issuance timeliness. The prediction accuracy and warning issuance performance analysis for the updated JMA EEW system showed that IPF improved the source-based ground motion prediction accuracy and reduced the risk of issuing overpredicted warnings. Another notable update was the incorporation of new observation facilities including S-net, a large-scale ocean bottom seismometer network deployed along the Japan and Kuril trenches. IPF is a robust point-source algorithm based on the Bayesian inference, and PLUM is a wavefield-based algorithm that predicts ground motions directly from observed shakings. One of significant improvements in the JMA EEW system was the implementation of two new ground motion prediction methods: the integrated particle filter (IPF) and propagation of local undamped motion (PLUM) algorithms. In addition, we evaluate how the system performance was influenced by the updates. In this paper, we summarize major system developments after the Tohoku-Oki event to overcome the limits of the standard point-source algorithms and to enhance the EEW performance further. The point-source algorithms successfully provided ground motion predictions with high accuracy during the initial operation however, the 2011 M w9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake and the subsequent intense aftershock and triggered earthquake activities underscored the weaknesses of the source-based approach. In the beginning of the operation, the system ran based mainly on standard source-based algorithms with a point-source location estimate and ground motion prediction equation. In Japan, the nationwide earthquake early warning (EEW) system has been being operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) since 2007, disseminating information on imminent strong ground motion to the general public and advanced technical users.
That said, it does have a few issues that can get in the way. One big difference, however, is that their in-game avatars have no scruples about helping out either side if your dream is to have Rommel pinch-hit for the Republic of China, you can make it happen here.įrom the turn-based strategy to the potential for fan-fiction with its generals, World Conquered X is a lot of fun. In keeping with the theme, these are real-life generals, and each general’s powers are generally linked to their careers - Nimitz and Yamamoto are strong in naval units and airstrikes, for instance, while Graziani and MacArthur are most at home on land. You can also raise spirits by building certain amenities in cities you control, or by calling in the big guns with one of the many generals available for recruitment.Īfter ‘hiring’ generals in the HQ mode through medals earned in the game, you can deploy them to a specific unit in battle to help turn the tide with their considerable strength. Morale plays a heavy role, for instance units who are surrounded or flanked will lose morale, and have lowered defences as a result, while troops just after a decisive win might get a boost to their attack power. In both modes, World Conqueror X brings a few unique wrinkles to the otherwise standard strategy template. Handily, you can save and come back to your game at any time (though with only one save slot, you can’t hop back and forth between countries), and since it’s independent of the Scenario mode sequence, chipping away at Conquest makes for a nice change of pace from the main missions. It’s an absolute slog, though that’s not meant as a criticism it’s just an uphill battle fought on a dizzying number of simultaneous fronts, and it does an excellent job of driving home the enormity of the exercise. Your historically-correct allies will aid you during their own turns, and you have some stripped-down ‘diplomacy’ options (give money to allies or draw new opponents into the war), but other than that, it’s you versus the world. That variety, along with the relatively brief mission length - many take fewer than 20 turns - makes Scenario mode perfect for shorter play sessions or on-the-go conquest, and the focused nature of each stage keeps them feeling fresh and fun as you go.Ĭonquest mode, on the other hand, is a massive undertaking that sees you selecting a single country - from heavy hitters such as Germany or the USSR to smaller states a la Greece or Thailand - starting in 1939 or 1943, and simply trying to win the war. These stages are based on actual battles, and so the victory conditions are accordingly diverse winning might mean taking a certain city, repelling an assault, or holding on while outnumbered long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Scenario is a mission mode, where you’ll choose between the Allied or Axis side (starting in Europe, with the Pacific Theatre available later) and proceed through a series of discrete tactical puzzles. These basics are the basis for World Conqueror X’s two distinct game styles: Scenario and Conquest. You can also bolster defences by building bunkers, mines, or anti-aircraft guns, order airstrikes and missiles, and develop any cities you’re currently occupying to boost the income coming into the coffers each turn. Rather than starting and being stuck with a set number of fighters as in Fire Emblem, here you can use your resources to recruit new units on the fly. Once you get your boots on the ground, World Conquerer X plays similarly to Advance Wars or other grid-based strategy games: taking turns with your computer-controlled opponent(s), you’ll be able to move each of your units - from foot soldiers and tanks to cannons and submarines - across the map, and set them on any enemies within range. Channelling board game classics such as Axis & Allies and Risk, with a World War II setting and fun, strategic gameplay, World Conqueror X is a solidly enjoyable effort despite a few missteps. CIRCLE’s Conqueror series brought this concept to the 3DS eShop with releases such as World Conqueror 3D and European Conqueror 3D, and now it’s back for another round on Switch. While wartime strategy games are one of the evergreen genres of both board and PC gaming, they’re much less of a presence on console outside of steadfast staples like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, historical takes on the turn-based formula are particularly scarce. "I love the caves and have been to many of the local caves in the area. Misty Dawn Durossette, another transplant, just loves what the area provides in outdoor activities. A purpose for one's life seems to be a factor in one's happiness.įor Debbie Adams her children and grandchildren are her joy. Something Bertalotto summed up as staying busy and having a reason to get up every day. Interesting to some may be that the top answer to 'What is your greatest joy?' was getting to go to work. Gerri Bertalotto, a feisty woman who decided to run a general store out on the prairie lands of eastern McDonald County, had to think if she had any worries and decided she didn't. McGhee stated that his biggest worry was getting hurt and not being able to provide for his young family. When asked what their biggest worry was, a couple stated worrying about their kids and grandkids in this day and age. Teresa Ezell, of Lanagan added that she never feels scared when closing up her business, but they do make sure their waitresses are escorted to their cars out of courtesy. None of the residents felt that where they lived and worked was unsafe, in fact the concern never really crossed their mind. McGhee is reported by those that work with him as being happy 24/7.Įach felt that their health was adequate to do the things that need to be done each day and that your health is one of the most important things related to independence. Three of the respondents rated the importance of laughter at a 10, but all five said that they laugh or are happy every day. All pointed out that it didn't matter where you lived the economic situation was a concern all over the nation. However, each agreed that the economy for the area was a concern, but most didn't let it make them miserable. Jim Bob McGhee, of Southwest City, said, "I know I can go anywhere in the four-state area or further and I can call any of my friends or family to come help me." Each one stated that they felt they had adequate support systems to fall back on if need be. Most pointed to meeting people and being active with work they enjoyed. In order to get an accurate picture of the McDonald County residents' level of contentment, random subjects answered probing questions into just how folks feel about living in Missouri.Įvery person interviewed stated that they liked what they do every day. 8 in the most miserable state category from the Gallup survey. Several local residents were surprised and some even shocked to hear of the state's ranking as No. However, the opposite is also true when considering the scope of what makes a person feel happy. It appears that the bulk of the burden falls on the shoulders of city leaders up to the halls of the capital to keep people happy. Information gleaned by the Gallup organization shows across the board agreement that strong leadership is the key to improving residents' sense of well-being. Six critical areas for a good sense of well-being were identified to gather the information across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The five points discussed in the Gallup and Health-Ways survey were ranked from 0–10 in the following areas: Purpose, Social, Financial, Community and Physical. But is there something more here that the 'urban' folks are missing? Now it's no secret that McDonald County often gets a bum rap for being the hillbilly county of southwest Missouri. Now it's unclear whether residents knew they were miserable or not, but the quest to really find out how McDonald County residents feel about their state was necessary in an unofficial survey to find out just how happy (or unhappy) these Missourian's are. Kansas just fell in the mid-section ranking of neither best or worst. Neighboring Arkansas beat the Show-Me state to take sixth place in the most miserable category, while Oklahoma came in at ninth. 8, supposedly becoming more miserable in 2013, than in 2012 when it was ranked No. According to a recent study released by the Gallup Poll and Health-Ways Joint Well-Being Index Survey, Missouri ranks in the top ten most miserable states for 2013. However, you need to check several things before showtime, as shown in the following checklists. This design makes it easy to transfer Keynote presentations from one Mac to another. Tip 10: Make preflight checksīy default, Keynote presentations embed the photos and videos you place in them, saving the slideshow and its media as a single package. If you’re looking to make a promotional video or compelling training material, your Mac is already packed with all the tools you need. You can also use Light Table view to drag slides around, changing the sequence of the slideshow, as shown in Figure 10.įigure 13 Use GarageBand to add simple or sophisticated soundtracks to your Keynote movies. You might notice sections of heavy statistics bunched together, or perhaps you have too many introductory slides before you get to the first major point. Try Keynote’s Light Table view to review your presentation as a series of thumbnails. Tip 7: Use Light Table view to assess the balance of a presentationĪs your presentation develops, it can be useful to see it in a fresh light. I describe this process in Lesson 15, “Rehearsing and Delivering a Presentation,” in Apple Pro Training Series: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. You can set the app to display your presenter notes so you’ll always have the elusive facts in the palm of your hand. If you’re playing a presentation from your Mac and you want the freedom to move across the stage (however large that may be), use the Keynote app for iOS as a remote control. Tip 6: Use an iPad or iPhone as a remote control Clicking it will reveal all the themes installed on your system, including any custom themes you’ve created.įigure 9 Copy and paste Build and Action animations to speed up your presentation development.įor more information, take a look at Lesson 13, “Making Media-Rich Presentations,” in Apple Pro Training Series: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. The Change Theme button is located in the Document Inspector (see Figure 3). If you’ve used masters properly, swapping to the new theme will be a breeze cementing your reputation as a Keynote genius. Consider this real-world example: You’ve built 20 presentations for your company, but now you need to apply a new graphic identity using the new company colors and logo. By using the available masters to build a presentation, you can easily swap themes, including using any custom designs you create. Themes have distinctive styles, and each theme contains master slides for title and subtitles, title and bullets, photos, and so on. Keynote has several themes, such as Photo Essay, Classic, and Slate. Tip 3: Build presentations using a variety of master slides With this approach, you have only one master presentation, so when it’s time to update the content you only have one document to amend. Then another 50, and so on, then scrambling the order of images on the Timeline.Figure 2 When you need to shorten a slideshow, don’t delete slides-skip them instead. Then importing another 50 with different settings. But that doesn't stop you from simultaneously importing 50 images using one set of import settings. No, there is no way to create automatic slideshows in iMovie all the images imported together will have the same duration, pan and zoom, set in the Photo Settings window. There's normally no need to export a movie of your own. Note that when you do that, iPhoto puts a movie loose in the Documents folder. Did you try sharing the iPhoto slideshow direct to iDVD? But depending on how the exported movie was handled later, the DVD you got may have been even worse than going direct from iPhoto to iDVD. The movie exported from iPhoto is automatically MPEG-4 too. All that converting hurts quality, so the quality of an iPhoto slideshow isn't great on the DVD. IPhoto slideshows are converted to MPEG-4 format when sent directly from iPhoto to iDVD.
