26827198#0	Ehime Orange Vikings	The are a professional basketball team based in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, that will compete in the second division of the B.League, a new league that will commence in September 2016. The team was founded in 2005 as the Oita HeatDevils, one of the founding members of the bj league. The team was based in Ōita city, Ōita Prefecture until 2015, at which time the club relocated to Matsuyama for the 2015-16 season of the bj league and changed its name to the Oita Ehime HeatDevils.
26827198#1	Ehime Orange Vikings	The team was founded as the Oita HeatDevils in 2005 and were one of six founding members of the bj league, a professional league set up in competition to the Japan Basketball League operated by the Japan Basketball Association. Their first league game was on 5 October 2005, which they won 100–95 against Osaka Evessa. After losing to Osaka in their second match the following day, Oita hosted their first home game a week later against the Sendai 89ers at the Beppu Beacon Plaza. They lost both matches in the series though, and their losing streak increased to six until they won the second game of a return series in Sendai on 3 December. After that they won just two of their next twelve matches for a 4–16 win-loss record at the mid-point of the season. Oita improved in the second half of the season and managed a six-game winning streak at one stage. They finished in fifth place with a 15–25 win-loss record, three games behind fourth-placed Sendai. They played the majority of their home matches at Beppu Arena.
26827198#2	Ehime Orange Vikings	In the 2006–07 season, when the bj league expanded to eight teams, Oita compiled a 22–18 win-loss record, their only winning season to date, and finished in fourth place, thereby qualifying for their first finals appearance. They lost their semi-final against the top-placed and eventual champions Osaka Evessa 69–63, before recovering the next day to defeat Niigata Albirex BB 92–70 in the playoff for third. To increase their popularity in the wider region, the team played half of their home games in Beppu and two matches each in Hita, Oita and Usa cities in Oita Prefecture as well as Buzen and Fukuoka cities in Fukuoka Prefecture.
26827198#3	Ehime Orange Vikings	The following season the league expanded to ten teams and divided into eastern and western conferences, with the top three teams in each conference advancing to the playoffs. In the Western Conference, the HeatDevils finished in fourth place (19–25), one game behind the expansion Rizing Fukuoka (20–24). Oita finished the season disastrously, losing their final five games while Fukuoka won seven of their last eight to climb into third place. Coach Dai Oketani left the club at the end of the season.
26827198#4	Ehime Orange Vikings	The 2008–09 season under replacement coach Tadaharu Ogawa saw Oita fall to just eight wins, the worst record in the expanded 12-team, 52-game league. The following year the team hired former NBA player Brian Rowsom to coach the club. He led the team to a 25–27 record, finishing 5th in the Western Conference, four games outside of the playoffs behind the Shiga Lakestars. In the middle of April Oita was just one game behind Shiga, but a poor finish to the season once again hurt the team, losing four of their final six matches while Shiga won five over the same period.
26827198#5	Ehime Orange Vikings	The 2010–11 season saw the league expand to 16 teams and the playoff system was expanded to include the top six teams of each conference. However, the season was ultimately affected by the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake, which led to three Eastern Conference teams withdrawing from play before the season ended. In the Western Conference, which had expanded to nine teams with the introduction of the Shimane Susanoo Magic and Miyazaki Shining Suns, the HeatDevils were in contention for a playoff spot at the time of the earthquake, their 16–22 record placing them just one game behind sixth-placed Shimane. However, three of the team's four American players (Taj Finger, Rolando Howell and Cyrus Tate) broke their contracts and left the country in the week after the earthquake and the team subsequently fired coach L. J. Hepp for failing to convince the players to remain in Japan. Assistant coach took over coaching responsibilities following the departures and the team lost their remaining ten matches, finishing the season seven games behind Shimane.
26827198#6	Ehime Orange Vikings	The team's star player Yukinori Suzuki, who had been with the club since its inception and appeared in three All-Star matches, retired at the end of the 2010–2011 at the age of 34 in order to take over as the club's head coach. Oita started the 2011–2012 season poorly, winning just five of their 24 games before the All-Star break. But they finished the season strongly, winning 14 of their last 17 games, including a 7-game streak in March and the final 5 games of the season, finishing 7th in the 10-team conference with a 23–29 record.
26827198#7	Ehime Orange Vikings	Oita started the 2012–13 season strongly, winning eight of their first ten games to sit second in the Western Conference standings. However during this time Tomohiro Hashimoto, the president of Oita Heat, the company that owned the team, reported to the league that negotiations with a planned season sponsor had not gone well. On 22 November Hashimoto requested a 25 million yen bailout from the league's assistance fund and the league, anticipating the company's demise, established an incorporated association named Temporary Game Operation (TGO). A week later the league determined that Hashimoto's request was without the agreement of the company's shareholders and refused the request. On 3 December Oita Heat requested withdrawal from the league and control of the team was transferred to TGO.
26827198#8	Ehime Orange Vikings	On the court the team's financial difficulties became obvious, with their foreign players departing due to unpaid salaries and the team managing to win just one of their next 16 games, falling to 8th place with a 9–17 record at the All-Star break. In the second half of the season TGO secured the services of new foreign players and the team managed a 12–14 record to finish in 8th place. In May 2013 ownership of the team was transferred to the corporation.
26827198#9	Ehime Orange Vikings	Under new corporate ownership for 2013–14, the team was unable to secure a main sponsor prior to the start of the season. The team planned to host a two-game series against the expansion team Bambitious Nara on 25 and 26 October at Ōita Bank Dome, a 40,000-capacity stadium with a retractable roof. This match was to be the first game in Japanese basketball history played in an outdoor stadium. However, the approach of Typhoon Francisco gave the Nara coach concern about the safety of the playing conditions. The two coaches and stadium officials ultimately decided to go ahead with the match and started one hour later than the scheduled time. Meanwhile, league commissioner Toshimitsu Kawachi decided that the game should be cancelled on account of the weather. Remarkably, due to poor communication channels this decision was not relayed to the teams until after the match was finished. The HeatDevils won the "phantom" contest 79–57, only to learn afterwards that the result would not be recorded as an official victory. The second match the following day was also cancelled, with the HeatDevils hosting a fan appreciation event instead. Despite the various setbacks, Oita started the season strongly and were tied for second place in the Western Conference after 16 games. As the season wore on, the team started to suffer several losing streaks, and slid down the standings to finish in eighth position with a 20–32 record, four games outside the top six.
26827198#10	Ehime Orange Vikings	For the 2014–15 the league's playoff bracket was further expanded so that the top 8 teams of each conference qualified for the finals. On 16 April 2015, with the HeatDevils in 7th place and guaranteed their first playoff appearance in eight years, the league announced the withdrawal of Oita's operating company Basukede from the league due to their worsening financial position, after reporting losses of 120 million yen over their two years of ownership. On 20 April Basukede concluded an agreement for transfer of ownership of the club to KBC Total Services, a subsidiary of , an educational corporation based in Matsuyama, Ehime. KBC indicated their intention to base the team in both Oita and Ehime prefectures in the following season, but be based in Matsuyama from October 2016.
26827198#11	Ehime Orange Vikings	Oita lost three of their final four regular season games following the announcements, but remained in 7th place despite recording an 18–34 record. They met the reigning champion Ryukyu Golden Kings in the first round of the playoffs and recorded a surprising 74–67 win in Game 1 of the three-game series after trailing 21–9 at quarter time. Ryukyu recovered the next day to win Game 2 92–68, as well as the 10-minute tiebreaker match 23–18 that was played immediately after Game 2. Suzuki left the club at the end of the season, having recorded an 82–126 (39.4%) win-loss record during his four years as coach of the team.
26827198#12	Ehime Orange Vikings	In June 2015, KBC Total Services announced the team was to be known as the Oita Ehime HeatDevils for the 2015–16 season. In the same press release, the team announced their intention to seek public proposals for a new name for the team for the 2016–17 season. The following month an official request for public suggestions was posted to the club's website. In August 2015 it was announced that the HeatDevils will compete in the second division of the B.League, the new league to be created from the bj league and NBL merger. During the 2015–16 season, the team played ten of their 26 home games in Ehime Prefecture, spreading their home games across 8 different stadiums throughout Oita and Ehime Prefectures.
26827198#13	Ehime Orange Vikings	The team hired Tomoyuki Umeda to replace Suzuki as head coach but fired him in the middle of January after they struggled to a 6–18 record and sat in second-last place in the Western Conference. The team hired Shinshu Brave Warriors assistant coach Ryuji Kawai as Umeda's replacement. The team fared better in the second half of the season, posting 10–14 record under Kawai to remain within playoff contention, until consecutive losses to Osaka on April 16 and 17 made it impossible for the team to sneak into eighth spot. In what was to be a fitting end to the team's Oita era, they were scheduled to play their final two games of the season at Beppu Arena on 23 and 24 April 2016 against the Kanazawa Samuraiz, who hired Suzuki as coach during the off-season. However, due to concerns about the possibility of aftershocks following the earthquakes that hit Kumamoto and Oita Prefectures one week earlier, the league announced on 21 April that the matches would be cancelled on account of the safety of patrons. The HeatDevils finished their final season in the bj league in 10th place in the Western Conference, three games outside of the top eight.
26827198#14	Ehime Orange Vikings	To coincide with the commencement of the B.League in September 2016, the HeatDevils relocated its head office to Matsuyama and announced they would compete in the new league as the Ehime Orange Vikings. The team retained Kawai as head coach and started the season with a 10-man roster that included American imports Joshua Crawford and Craig Williams Jr. and Tatsuhiko Toshino as team captain. After losing their first four games of the season, the team added two small forwards to their roster, Frenchman Rémi Barry as their third import player and Shugaku Izumi.

26827248#0	Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973	Luxembourg was represented by French singer Anne-Marie David, with the song '"Tu te reconnaîtras", at the 1973 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 7 April in Luxembourg City following the victory of Vicky Leandros for the Grand Duchy the previous year in Edinburgh. The song was chosen internally by broadcaster RTL and went on to bring Luxembourg their second consecutive Eurovision victory and a fourth in total.
26827248#1	Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973	Following the contest David recorded "Tu te reconnaîtras" in various languages and enjoyed a sizeable hit in many parts of Europe. The English-language version of the song ("Wonderful Dream") went to number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.
26827248#2	Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973	On the night of the final David performed 11th in the running order, following Italy and preceding Sweden. Pre-contest betting had rated the entries from Spain and the United Kingdom as favourites, with Luxembourg some way behind. The same voting system used in the previous two contests was used again, but whereas the 1971 and 1972 contests had both produced very clear winners, in 1973 the voting was very tight throughout. After the votes from the fourth of six groups of voters, the United Kingdom was ahead of Luxembourg and Spain by 3 points, but Luxembourg scored strongest from the last two groups and gained a narrow victory, 4 points in front of Spain and 6 ahead of the United Kingdom. The closeness of the result, together with complaints which had been made from the start about the system's potential for manipulation – it was the only system ever used in which countries did not all have the same preset amount of points to award – led to the abandonment of the system before the 1974 contest.

26827291#0	Michael Z. Lewin	Michael Zinn Lewin (born 1942, Springfield, Massachusetts) is an American writer of mystery fiction perhaps best known for his series about Albert Samson, a distinctly low-keyed, non-hardboiled private detective who plies his trade in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lewin himself grew up in Indianapolis, but after graduating from Harvard and living for a few years in New York City, has lived in England for the last 40 years. Much of his fiction continues to be set in Indianapolis, including a secondary series about Leroy Powder, a policeman who frequently appears in the Samson novels, generally in a semi-confrontational manner.
26827291#1	Michael Z. Lewin	Another series, however, is set in Bath, England, where Lewin now lives. This features the Lunghis who run their detective agency as a family business. So far there are three novels and nine short stories about them.
26827291#2	Michael Z. Lewin	Lewin has also written a number of stand-alone novels. Some have been set in Indianapolis and others elsewhere. His latest novel, Confessions of a Discontented Deity, is even set partly in Heaven. A satire, it breaks from Lewin's history of genre fiction.
26827291#3	Michael Z. Lewin	Lewin is the son of Leonard C. Lewin, author of the 1967 bestselling satire "The Report from Iron Mountain: On the Possibility and Desirability of Peace".
26827291#4	Michael Z. Lewin	The Samson stories are told in the breezy first-person narrative form typical of private-eye novels. They are witty and somewhat off-beat, both for their plotting and their somewhat unusual setting, as well as for the sharply drawn relationships that Samson has with his mother, who owns a diner, and with his long-time but nameless girlfriend, whom he refers to only as "my woman". He eschews whiskey and chasing women in the manner characteristic of his fictional confrères, does not own a gun, makes modest, non-gourmet meals for himself from cans, and shoots hoops in the park as a recreation. Although the stories start off in modest, understated fashion about seemingly trivial domestic matters, they eventually escalate to scenes of startling violence. Of major importance in the stories is the locale itself, the city of Indianapolis and its surrounding countryside, and Samson is certainly one of the most important of the regional detectives in mystery fiction, as well as being one of the very first to appear in what is now a widespread genre.
26827291#5	Michael Z. Lewin	As well as the novels there are currently five short stories featuring Albert Samson.

26827318#0	Second Choice	Second Choice is a 1930 American Pre-Code black-and-white film released by Warner Bros. and starring Dolores Costello and Chester Morris. The film is notable as being the first (and only film) in which Dolores Costello sang. It is a lost film. The film was based on the story by Elizabeth Alexander and was adapted for the screen by Joseph Jackson.
26827318#1	Second Choice	Vallery Grove (Costello) is in love with Don Warren (Morris), but her mother opposes the match because he is poor and has no social standing. Don decides to terminate his engagement to Vallery after attending a party where he meets a spoiled rich girl who is interested in him.
26827318#2	Second Choice	Dolores is later introduced to Owen Mallory (Mulhall) who informs her that Don is now planning to marry the spoiled rich girl. Mallory, who has himself been recently jilted, and Vallery find comfort in each other and eventually Owen proposes to Vallery. She finally accepts, and they elope.
26827318#3	Second Choice	Once she is married, Vallery discovers that Don has broken off his engagement. She becomes uncertain about her love for Mallory and while her husband is away on business, she invites Don, who is drunk, into her house.The theme song was called "Life Can Be So Lonesome" and was sung by Dolores Costello in the picture. It was composed by Al Dubin, Joe Burke and M.K Jerome. The theme song was recorded by Debroy Somers for Columbia and released as part of series of recordings known as "Talkie Tunes Medley".
26827318#4	Second Choice	"The New York Times" wrote that the director held audiences' attention but said of the film's cast, "Jack Mulhall is miscast as Mallory and gives a halting performance. Miss Costello moves slowly and speaks the pseudo-smart lines with uncertainty. Chester Morris grimmaces as usual and never forgets he is the 'heavy,' and neither does the onlooker." "Pittsburgh Press" wrote, "When it doesn't try to take itself too seriously, 'Second Choice' ... is what is known in film trade circle as a fairly good 'program' picture." The newspaper said that some dialogue was sometimes "ridiculous" and sometimes "fairly credible". It complained, "If 'Second Choice' had been made as a straight comedy it would have been a much better picture. The combination of comedy, drama and a tinge of melodrama was a little too much for it to swallow."
26827318#5	Second Choice	"Second Choice" is now considered a lost film. No prints are known to exist.
26827324#0	Baumann Brigadier	The Baumann Brigadier was a prototype American light transport aircraft of the late 1940s. It was a twin-engined monoplane, which, unusually, was of pusher configuration. Only two were built, plans for production never coming to fruition.
26827324#1	Baumann Brigadier	Jack Baumann, who had worked for the Taylor Aircraft Company (later to become Piper Aircraft) and Lockheed, set up the Baumann Aircraft Corporation in Pacoima, Los Angeles, California in 1945. His first design for the new company was the B-250 Brigadier, a twin-engined pusher monoplane intended as an executive transport. It was of all-metal construction, with cantilever shoulder mounted wings, and with the pusher engines mounted in nacelles on the wing. An enclosed cabin accommodated a pilot and four passengers, while the aircraft was fitted with a retractable nosewheel undercarriage.
26827324#2	Baumann Brigadier	The first prototype, powered by two engines (hence the B-250 designation) flew on 20 June 1947. Piper Aircraft was interested in building a tractor version of the Brigadier, and purchased the B-250 prototype and its drawings, designating it the PA-21, with some sources claiming that the B-250 formed the basis of the Piper Apache, although other sources state that Piper abandoned work on the PA-21 and that the Apache was unrelated.
26827324#3	Baumann Brigadier	Baumann continued development of the pusher Brigadier, with the second example, the B-290, being fitted with Continental C-145 engines but was otherwise similar to the B-250. The B-290, registered N90616, crash-landed at Pacoima on January 8, 1953, heavily damaging the fuselage and injuring pilot Ward C. Vettel and flight engineer Thomas Cox. Production at a rate of one aircraft per month was planned for the B-290. The Brigadier was chosen by Willard Ray Custer as the basis of his Custer CCW-5, which used the fuselage and tail of the Brigadier, but had a modified wing with the engines sitting in U-shaped ducts, but other than the two CCW-5s no production of the B-290 followed. Baumann continued to propose more powerful versions of the Brigadier, but no airframes resulted.

26827346#0	The Worship of Venus	The Worship of Venus is an oil on canvas painting by the Italian artist Titian completed between 1518–1519, housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. It describes a Roman rite of worship conducted in honour of the goddess Venus each 1 April. On this occasion, women would make offerings to representations of the goddess so as to cleanse "every blemish on their bodies".
26827346#1	The Worship of Venus	In Titian's work, two nymphs, one young and one matronly, are situated to the right of the ceremony, attending to a shrine holding a representation of Venus. The shrine is surrounded by votive tablets. The older woman checks on the decorations with the use of a mirror which she holds high in her extended right hand. The foreground of the canvas is thronged with a swarm of male infants, or "putti", who distract themselves in activities such as climbing trees, leaping, flying, gathering apples, lying around, fighting, fondling, shooting arrows and pulling each other's hair. A dam is shown in the middle background, near a sunlit meadow. The far distance is decorated with a mountain and blue sky.
26827346#2	The Worship of Venus	Titian based the image on the writings of the Greek sophist Philostratus. In his "Imagines I, VI", Philostratus wrote, "See cupids are gathering apples: and if there are many of them, do not be surprised...The cupids' quiver are studded with gold, and golden also are the darts in them...they have hung their quivers on the apple trees; and in the grass lie their broidered mantles...Ah, the baskets into which they gather their apples!"

26827372#0	Brain morphometry	Brain morphometry is a subfield of both morphometry and the brain sciences, concerned with the measurement of brain structures and changes thereof during development, aging, learning, disease and evolution. Since autopsy-like dissection is generally impossible on living brains, brain morphometry starts with noninvasive neuroimaging data, typically obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (or MRI for short). These data are born digital, which allows researchers to analyze the brain images further by using advanced mathematical and statistical methods such as shape quantification or multivariate analysis. This allows researchers to quantify anatomical features of the brain in terms of shape, mass, volume (e.g. of the hippocampus, or of the primary versus secondary visual cortex), and to derive more specific information, such as the encephalization quotient, grey matter density and white matter connectivity, gyrification, cortical thickness, or the amount of cerebrospinal fluid. These variables can then be mapped within the brain volume or on the brain surface, providing a convenient way to assess their pattern and extent over time, across individuals or even between different biological species. The field is rapidly evolving along with neuroimaging techniques — which deliver the underlying data — but also develops in part independently from them, as part of the emerging field of neuroinformatics, which is concerned with developing and adapting algorithms to analyze those data.
26827372#1	Brain morphometry	The term brain mapping is often used interchangeably with brain morphometry, although "mapping" in the narrower sense of projecting properties of the brain onto a template brain is, strictly speaking, only a subfield of brain morphometry. On the other hand, though much more rarely, neuromorphometry is also sometimes used as a synonym for brain morphometry (particularly in the earlier literature, e.g. ), though technically is only one of its subfields.
26827372#2	Brain morphometry	The morphology and function of a complex organ like the brain are the result of numerous biochemical and biophysical processes interacting in a highly complex manner across multiple scales in space and time (). Most of the genes known to control these processes during brain development, maturation and aging are highly conserved (), though some show polymorphisms (cf. ), and pronounced differences at the cognitive level abound even amongst closely related species, or between individuals within a species ().
26827372#3	Brain morphometry	In contrast, variations in macroscopic brain anatomy (i.e., at a level of detail still discernible by the naked human eye) are sufficiently conserved to allow for comparative analyses, yet diverse enough to reflect variations within and between individuals and species: As morphological analyses that compare brains at different onto-genetic or pathogenic stages can reveal important information about the progression of normal or abnormal development within a given species, cross-species comparative studies have a similar potential to reveal evolutionary trends and phylogenetic relationships.
26827372#4	Brain morphometry	Given that the imaging modalities commonly employed for brain morphometric investigations are essentially of a molecular or even sub-atomic nature, a number of factors may interfere with derived quantification of brain structures. These include all of the parameters mentioned in "Applications" but also the state of hydration, hormonal status, medication and substance abuse.
26827372#5	Brain morphometry	There are two major prerequisites for brain morphometry: First, the brain features of interest must be measurable, and second, statistical methods have to be in place to compare the measurements quantitatively. Shape feature comparisons form the basis of Linnaean taxonomy, and even in cases of convergent evolution or brain disorders, they still provide a wealth of information about the nature of the processes involved. Shape comparisons have long been constrained to simple and mainly volume- or slice-based measures but profited enormously from the digital revolution, as now all sorts of shapes in any number of dimensions can be handled numerically.
26827372#6	Brain morphometry	In addition, though the extraction of morphometric parameters like brain mass or liquor volume may be relatively straightforward in post mortem samples, most studies in living subjects will by necessity have to use an indirect approach: A spatial representation of the brain or its components is obtained by some appropriate neuroimaging technique, and the parameters of interest can then be analyzed on that basis. Such a structural representation of the brain is also a prerequisite for the interpretation of functional neuroimaging.
26827372#7	Brain morphometry	The design of a brain morphometric study depends on multiple factors that can be roughly categorized as follows: First, depending on whether ontogenetic, pathological or phylogenetic issues are targeted, the study can be designed as longitudinal (within the same brain, measured at different times), or cross-sectional (across brains). Second, brain image data can be acquired using different neuroimaging modalities. Third, brain properties can be analyzed at different scales (e.g. in the whole brain, regions of interest, cortical or subcortical structures). Fourth, the data can be subjected to different kinds of processing and analysis steps. Brain morphometry as a discipline is mainly concerned with the development of tools addressing this fourth point and integration with the previous ones.
26827372#8	Brain morphometry	With the exception of the usually slice-based histology of the brain, neuroimaging data are generally stored as matrices of voxels. The most popular morphometric method, thus, is known as Voxel-based morphometry (VBM; cf. ; ; ). Yet as an imaging voxel is not a biologically meaningful unit, other approaches have been developed that potentially bear a closer correspondence to biological structures: Deformation-based morphometry (DBM), surface-based morphometry (SBM) and fiber tracking based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DTI or DSI). All four are usually performed based on Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging data, with the former three commonly using T1-weighted (e.g. Magnetization Prepared Rapid Gradient Echo, MP-RAGE) and sometimes T2-weighted pulse sequences, while DTI/DSI use diffusion-weighted ones. However, recent evaluation of morphometry algorithms/software demonstrates inconsistency among several of them. This renders a need for systematic and quantitative validation and evaluation of the field.
26827372#9	Brain morphometry	MR images are generated by a complex interaction between static and dynamic electromagnetic fields and the tissue of interest, namely the brain that is encapsulated in the head of the subject. Hence, the raw images contain noise from various sources—namely head movements (a scan suitable for morphometry typically takes on the order of 10 min) that can hardly be corrected or modeled, and bias fields (neither of the electromagnetic fields involved is homogeneous across the whole head nor brain) which can be modeled.
26827372#10	Brain morphometry	In the following, the image is segmented into non-brain and brain tissue, with the latter usually being sub-segmented into at least gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Since image voxels near the class boundaries do not generally contain just one kind of tissue, partial volume effects ensue that can be corrected for.
26827372#11	Brain morphometry	For comparisons across different scans (within or across subjects), differences in brain size and shape are eliminated by spatially normalizing (i.e. registering) the individual images to the stereotactic space of a template brain. Registration can be performed using low-resolution (i.e. rigid-body or affine transformations) or high-resolution (i.e. highly non-linear) methods, and templates can be generated from the study's pool of brains, from a brain atlas or a derived template generator.
26827372#12	Brain morphometry	Both the registered images and the deformation fields generated upon registration can be used for morphometric analyses, thereby providing the basis for Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) and Deformation-Based Morphometry (DBM). Images segmented into tissue classes can also be used to convert segmentation boundaries into parametric surfaces, the analysis of which is the focus of Surface-Based Morphometry (SBM).

Ehime Orange Vikings

The are a professional basketball team based in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, that will compete in the second division of the B.League, a new league that will commence in September 2016. The team was founded in 2005 as the Oita HeatDevils, one of the founding members of the bj league. The team was based in Ōita city, Ōita Prefecture until 2015, at which time the club relocated to Matsuyama for the 2015-16 season of the bj league and changed its name to the Oita Ehime HeatDevils.

26827198#1

Ehime Orange Vikings

The team was founded as the Oita HeatDevils in 2005 and were one of six founding members of the bj league, a professional league set up in competition to the Japan Basketball League operated by the Japan Basketball Association. Their first league game was on 5 October 2005, which they won 100–95 against Osaka Evessa. After losing to Osaka in their second match the following day, Oita hosted their first home game a week later against the Sendai 89ers at the Beppu Beacon Plaza. They lost both matches in the series though, and their losing streak increased to six until they won the second game of a return series in Sendai on 3 December. After that they won just two of their next twelve matches for a 4–16 win-loss record at the mid-point of the season. Oita improved in the second half of the season and managed a six-game winning streak at one stage. They finished in fifth place with a 15–25 win-loss record, three games behind fourth-placed Sendai. They played the majority of their home matches at Beppu Arena.

26827198#2

Ehime Orange Vikings

In the 2006–07 season, when the bj league expanded to eight teams, Oita compiled a 22–18 win-loss record, their only winning season to date, and finished in fourth place, thereby qualifying for their first finals appearance. They lost their semi-final against the top-placed and eventual champions Osaka Evessa 69–63, before recovering the next day to defeat Niigata Albirex BB 92–70 in the playoff for third. To increase their popularity in the wider region, the team played half of their home games in Beppu and two matches each in Hita, Oita and Usa cities in Oita Prefecture as well as Buzen and Fukuoka cities in Fukuoka Prefecture.

26827198#3

Ehime Orange Vikings

The following season the league expanded to ten teams and divided into eastern and western conferences, with the top three teams in each conference advancing to the playoffs. In the Western Conference, the HeatDevils finished in fourth place (19–25), one game behind the expansion Rizing Fukuoka (20–24). Oita finished the season disastrously, losing their final five games while Fukuoka won seven of their last eight to climb into third place. Coach Dai Oketani left the club at the end of the season.

26827198#4

Ehime Orange Vikings

The 2008–09 season under replacement coach Tadaharu Ogawa saw Oita fall to just eight wins, the worst record in the expanded 12-team, 52-game league. The following year the team hired former NBA player Brian Rowsom to coach the club. He led the team to a 25–27 record, finishing 5th in the Western Conference, four games outside of the playoffs behind the Shiga Lakestars. In the middle of April Oita was just one game behind Shiga, but a poor finish to the season once again hurt the team, losing four of their final six matches while Shiga won five over the same period.

26827198#5

Ehime Orange Vikings

The 2010–11 season saw the league expand to 16 teams and the playoff system was expanded to include the top six teams of each conference. However, the season was ultimately affected by the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake, which led to three Eastern Conference teams withdrawing from play before the season ended. In the Western Conference, which had expanded to nine teams with the introduction of the Shimane Susanoo Magic and Miyazaki Shining Suns, the HeatDevils were in contention for a playoff spot at the time of the earthquake, their 16–22 record placing them just one game behind sixth-placed Shimane. However, three of the team's four American players (Taj Finger, Rolando Howell and Cyrus Tate) broke their contracts and left the country in the week after the earthquake and the team subsequently fired coach L. J. Hepp for failing to convince the players to remain in Japan. Assistant coach took over coaching responsibilities following the departures and the team lost their remaining ten matches, finishing the season seven games behind Shimane.

26827198#6

Ehime Orange Vikings

The team's star player Yukinori Suzuki, who had been with the club since its inception and appeared in three All-Star matches, retired at the end of the 2010–2011 at the age of 34 in order to take over as the club's head coach. Oita started the 2011–2012 season poorly, winning just five of their 24 games before the All-Star break. But they finished the season strongly, winning 14 of their last 17 games, including a 7-game streak in March and the final 5 games of the season, finishing 7th in the 10-team conference with a 23–29 record.

26827198#7

Ehime Orange Vikings

Oita started the 2012–13 season strongly, winning eight of their first ten games to sit second in the Western Conference standings. However during this time Tomohiro Hashimoto, the president of Oita Heat, the company that owned the team, reported to the league that negotiations with a planned season sponsor had not gone well. On 22 November Hashimoto requested a 25 million yen bailout from the league's assistance fund and the league, anticipating the company's demise, established an incorporated association named Temporary Game Operation (TGO). A week later the league determined that Hashimoto's request was without the agreement of the company's shareholders and refused the request. On 3 December Oita Heat requested withdrawal from the league and control of the team was transferred to TGO.

26827198#8

On the court the team's financial difficulties became obvious, with their foreign players departing due to unpaid salaries and the team managing to win just one of their next 16 games, falling to 8th place with a 9–17 record at the All-Star break. In the second half of the season TGO secured the services of new foreign players and the team managed a 12–14 record to finish in 8th place. In May 2013 ownership of the team was transferred to the corporation.

26827198#9

Ehime Orange Vikings

Under new corporate ownership for 2013–14, the team was unable to secure a main sponsor prior to the start of the season. The team planned to host a two-game series against the expansion team Bambitious Nara on 25 and 26 October at Ōita Bank Dome, a 40,000-capacity stadium with a retractable roof. This match was to be the first game in Japanese basketball history played in an outdoor stadium. However, the approach of Typhoon Francisco gave the Nara coach concern about the safety of the playing conditions. The two coaches and stadium officials ultimately decided to go ahead with the match and started one hour later than the scheduled time. Meanwhile, league commissioner Toshimitsu Kawachi decided that the game should be cancelled on account of the weather. Remarkably, due to poor communication channels this decision was not relayed to the teams until after the match was finished. The HeatDevils won the "phantom" contest 79–57, only to learn afterwards that the result would not be recorded as an official victory. The second match the following day was also cancelled, with the HeatDevils hosting a fan appreciation event instead. Despite the various setbacks, Oita started the season strongly and were tied for second place in the Western Conference after 16 games. As the season wore on, the team started to suffer several losing streaks, and slid down the standings to finish in eighth position with a 20–32 record, four games outside the top six.

26827198#10

For the 2014–15 the league's playoff bracket was further expanded so that the top 8 teams of each conference qualified for the finals. On 16 April 2015, with the HeatDevils in 7th place and guaranteed their first playoff appearance in eight years, the league announced the withdrawal of Oita's operating company Basukede from the league due to their worsening financial position, after reporting losses of 120 million yen over their two years of ownership. On 20 April Basukede concluded an agreement for transfer of ownership of the club to KBC Total Services, a subsidiary of , an educational corporation based in Matsuyama, Ehime. KBC indicated their intention to base the team in both Oita and Ehime prefectures in the following season, but be based in Matsuyama from October 2016.

26827198#11

Oita lost three of their final four regular season games following the announcements, but remained in 7th place despite recording an 18–34 record. They met the reigning champion Ryukyu Golden Kings in the first round of the playoffs and recorded a surprising 74–67 win in Game 1 of the three-game series after trailing 21–9 at quarter time. Ryukyu recovered the next day to win Game 2 92–68, as well as the 10-minute tiebreaker match 23–18 that was played immediately after Game 2. Suzuki left the club at the end of the season, having recorded an 82–126 (39.4%) win-loss record during his four years as coach of the team.

26827198#12

Ehime Orange Vikings

In June 2015, KBC Total Services announced the team was to be known as the Oita Ehime HeatDevils for the 2015–16 season. In the same press release, the team announced their intention to seek public proposals for a new name for the team for the 2016–17 season. The following month an official request for public suggestions was posted to the club's website. In August 2015 it was announced that the HeatDevils will compete in the second division of the B.League, the new league to be created from the bj league and NBL merger. During the 2015–16 season, the team played ten of their 26 home games in Ehime Prefecture, spreading their home games across 8 different stadiums throughout Oita and Ehime Prefectures.

26827198#13

Ehime Orange Vikings

The team hired Tomoyuki Umeda to replace Suzuki as head coach but fired him in the middle of January after they struggled to a 6–18 record and sat in second-last place in the Western Conference. The team hired Shinshu Brave Warriors assistant coach Ryuji Kawai as Umeda's replacement. The team fared better in the second half of the season, posting 10–14 record under Kawai to remain within playoff contention, until consecutive losses to Osaka on April 16 and 17 made it impossible for the team to sneak into eighth spot. In what was to be a fitting end to the team's Oita era, they were scheduled to play their final two games of the season at Beppu Arena on 23 and 24 April 2016 against the Kanazawa Samuraiz, who hired Suzuki as coach during the off-season. However, due to concerns about the possibility of aftershocks following the earthquakes that hit Kumamoto and Oita Prefectures one week earlier, the league announced on 21 April that the matches would be cancelled on account of the safety of patrons. The HeatDevils finished their final season in the bj league in 10th place in the Western Conference, three games outside of the top eight.

26827198#14

Ehime Orange Vikings

To coincide with the commencement of the B.League in September 2016, the HeatDevils relocated its head office to Matsuyama and announced they would compete in the new league as the Ehime Orange Vikings. The team retained Kawai as head coach and started the season with a 10-man roster that included American imports Joshua Crawford and Craig Williams Jr. and Tatsuhiko Toshino as team captain. After losing their first four games of the season, the team added two small forwards to their roster, Frenchman Rémi Barry as their third import player and Shugaku Izumi.

Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973

On the night of the final David performed 11th in the running order, following Italy and preceding Sweden. Pre-contest betting had rated the entries from Spain and the United Kingdom as favourites, with Luxembourg some way behind. The same voting system used in the previous two contests was used again, but whereas the 1971 and 1972 contests had both produced very clear winners, in 1973 the voting was very tight throughout. After the votes from the fourth of six groups of voters, the United Kingdom was ahead of Luxembourg and Spain by 3 points, but Luxembourg scored strongest from the last two groups and gained a narrow victory, 4 points in front of Spain and 6 ahead of the United Kingdom. The closeness of the result, together with complaints which had been made from the start about the system's potential for manipulation – it was the only system ever used in which countries did not all have the same preset amount of points to award – led to the abandonment of the system before the 1974 contest.
