Since our initial Core Grant award in 1997 and its renewals in 2002 and 2007, this grant has played a major role in the growth of individual investigator programs, inter-departmental collaborations, and recruitment of new investigators to the visual sciences from external universities and from other departments at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). The 2007-2012 funding cycle of the CWRU Visual Sciences Research Center (VSRC) Core Grant generated 105 publications in the areas of: 1) retinal biology and retinal degenerative and hereditary diseases;2) ocular diseases as a consequence of aging and diabetes;and 3) ocular immunology, inflammation and infectious diseases. In the current renewal, there are 11 investigators with 16 active NEI R01 grants in the Departments of Pharmacology (Palczewski, Imanishi, von Lintig), Medicine (Kern, Subauste), Chemistry (Salomon), Ophthalmology (Park, Pearlman), Pathology (Monnier), and Pediatrics (Gubitosi-Klug). There are 2 additional ROIs with very competitive scores, but have not been funded at the time of submission (Reitsch, Microbiology, and Pikuleva, Ophthalmology) and another 6 VSRC investigators with non-R01 NEI funding or no-cost extensions who utilize the Core Modules. Institutional commitment to the VSRC has been and continues to be very strong in terms of renovations, recruitment and salary support for the module managers. The modules in the 2007-2012 funding period were: 1) Tissue Culture and Hybridoma, 2) Histology, Microscopy and Imaging, 3) Molecular Biology, 4) Specialized Animal Resource, and 5) Proteomics. The two major changes to the modules in the current submission are: first, we have expanded the Specialized Animal Resource to include a small animal visual function and non-invasive retinal imaging sub-module. This sub-module will provide expertise in and use of two electroretinograms (ERG), two Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopes, and Optical Coherence Tomography equipment, and an Optomotor that records eye movement. Second, we are not requesting renewal of the Proteomics module. Although this module was heavily utilized, it was mostly by two or three investigators;however, all of the Proteomics services remain available.
The P-30 grant provides essential technical, equipment and service support for 11 NEI funded investigators who study blinding diseases of the cornea, lens and retina of the mammalian eye. By providing these critical functions, the grant will greatly enhance the ability of these investigators to understand these diseases and can develop new therapies for corneal infections, cataract, diabetes and retinal degenerative diseases.

Eileen Myles in the "Paris Review"; Richard Powers on "The Overstory"
The Paris Review interviews Eileen Myles: "If I had been a good student and an achiever, I might have been excited by a more systematic approach to writing than what I do. People loved to throw around the word rigorous in the eighties. I'd go bleh. When I started to pull something out of the pool of incoherence, it was exciting in itself."
At The Guardian, Richard Powers talks about how he researched his book The Overstory, which was just awarded the Pulitzer Prize. "I read more than 120 single-volume books about trees, but unlike many of the other topics I've written about in the past, I was able to do a lot of the emotional research for the book just by being in the forest, in the woods."

Our understanding of time and the world around us just got way more precise. Physicists have successfully measured changes in an atom on the level of zeptoseconds. That's a trillionth of a billionth of a second - the smallest fragment of time ever observed.
With this new level of detail, they were able to measure the entire process of an electron escaping its atom for the first time, in a stunning test of Einstein's photoelectric effect.
According to quantum mechanics, the energy from these photons is either absorbed entirely by one electron, or divided among a few of them. But until now, no one has been able to study this process in enough detail to know for sure how it's decided.
Now a team led by the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany has been able to see the other side of the process for the first time - and measure what happens in the tiny amount of time before the electron leaves the atom.
They did this by firing a range of lasers at a helium atom, and were able to measure the entire photoelectric effect with zeptosecond (10-21 seconds) precision - the smallest fragment of time ever measured.
"Using this information, we can measure the time it takes the electron to change its quantum state from the very constricted, bound state around the atom to the free state," one of the researchers, Marcus Ossiander, told Rebecca Boyle over at New Scientist.
The team picked helium atoms to study because they have just two electrons, which means they're complex enough that the researchers were able to measure their quantum mechanical behaviour - how the photon's energy was split between the electrons - but simple enough that they could spot some patterns in the results.
That meant the researchers were able to finally get some insight into how the electrons divided up the laser's energy.
There's still more work to be done, but this is an exciting step towards finally understanding the quantum behaviour of atoms - and how electrons work on an individual basis.
Once we properly understand how these fundamental building blocks of matter function, it'll help improve future technologies, such as superconductivity and quantum computing.
Now the team will attempt to conduct more experiments to create a full description of how these electrons behave when exposed to a photon's energy.
"There is always more than one electron. They always interact. They will always feel each other, even at great distances," lead researcher Martin Schultze told Boyle.
"Many things are rooted in the interactions of individual electrons, but we handle them as a collective thing. If you really want to develop a microscopic understanding of atoms, on the most basic level, you need to understand how electrons deal with each other."

Q: Is there any way to auto catch exception? Suppose I have 10 lines of code. Any line maybe throw a NullPointerException. I don't want to care about these exceptions. If a line throws the exceptions, I want the executor jump to next line and go forward. Could I do this on Java? if yes, please give me some sample code.
UPDATE: (add sample source for more clear question)
first.setText(prize.first);
second.setText(prize.second);
third.setText(prize.third);
fourth.setText(prize.fourth);
fifth.setText(prize.fifth);
sixth.setText(prize.sixth);
seventh.setText(prize.seventh);
eighth.setText(prize.eighth);

Suppose I have 8 lines of code above. What I want is: if the line 4 (or 5, 6,...) throws an exception, all other lines of code works normally. Of course I can use try...catch to catch the exceptions line by line. But this way make my source very complex.

A: This is impossible. If you think about it for a while, you'll realize that that is also a nonsense. Take this code for example:
String s = getSomeString(); // assigns null
int length = s.length; // throws NPE

if (length > 10) { // what would you do here?? length is un-initialized
    domeSomething();
}

Edit
Now that you've updated you question with a code snippet, there are two general approaches to deal with nulls:
1. Disallow them where they aren't supposed to be
In your code snippet, you've provided a list of EditTexts, where any o them might be null. Well, in my opinion if you have an Activity in Android which should have some Views, then it is a programming error if any of them is null for whatever reason. An activity without some of its views can't work properly, so throwing a NPE and exiting the application is a perfectly sensible thing to do.
The NPE tells you "hey, you've made a mistake and you have to fix it". Until then, it is not safe for the app in an unpredicted state to continue execution, because no one knows what can happen, what data can become corrupted.
2. Allow them where they make sense, and provide null-checks
There are some places where you can have variables whose value can be empty. There are several approaches how to express an empty value and null is the most obvious one.
In that case, you can't just ignore the possibilty of a NPE and you have to do some null-checks. But again, a NPE is not your enemy. It will tell you that you've forgotten to account for all the possible situations that you should have.
Of course, repeated null checks make the code cluttered and noisy, so you can create some methods that generalize the null checks for you. I could not come up with a sensible example, so take this method only for illustration:
public void clearEditTexts(EditText... editTexts) {
    for (EditText e : editTexts) {
        if (e != null) {
            e.setText("");
        }
    }
}

This method clears the contents of all the passed EditTexts. Any of them can be null, but this method does these null-checks internally, so you don't have to do it manually for each of them.

This question is also a very good reading about handling nulls:
Avoiding != null statements

A: This is not possible. If your variables can be null you will just have to check for that, or prevent them from being null. Very rarely it can be useful to create a dummy object implementation whose overridden methods do nothing, so it can be used in place of a valid object instead of null.

A: No, you cant and you should care, they try to tell you whats wrong.

A: The fact that a variable is null is notable, and should not be ignored. Therefore, you'd want something like this:
...
if(first != null && prize.first != null)
{
    first.setText(prize.first);
}
...

If, for some reason, you absolutely need to throw NPEs, you would need to surround each line with its own try/catch; there's no way to automatically catch exceptions and have it advance to the next line. It's not, however, recommended to do this.
...
try
{
    first.setText(prize.first);
}
catch(NullPointerException e)
{
}
try
{
    second.setText(prize.second);
}
catch(NullPointerException e)
{
}
...

A: NullPointerException is a runtime (unchecked) exception and Java not reccomand to catch unchecked exceptions. You should have a solution to prevent it.

The origins of Thanksgivukkah - the only one we'll experience in our lifetimes - and back to our roots with "Heart to Heart".
Everybody knows that the Hebrew word for "thanks" and "turkey' are the same word, "Hodu" is the Hebrew word both for the idea of to give thanks (Hodu l'Adonai ki tov, ki l'olam chasdo) and the word for turkey (the bird Americans traditionally eat at their Thanksgiving meal), AND it's what Israelis call the country of India (Hodu), AND, in one of the most famous linguistic ironies in history, Native Americans (who played the starring role as savior and deliverer of the hapless and starving Europeans who showed up on their shores) were called "Indians," because of course North America is what the European explorers ran into when trying to sail west to the Far East.
Thanksgivukkah also comes at a time in the Torah Parsha that a feast is discussed (Yosef's brothers sat down to eat after they threw him in the pit, thousands of years later the Jewish people would find themselves in peril from the result of another feast - hence the story of Purim) and that a famine causes starvation, and a wise ruler (Yosef) manages resources to save his family and in fact the nation itself.
This week American Jews who gather for Thanksgiving will be sitting down to a feast in the midst of great peril (never has it been more obvious that our government is not our protection) and the publicity that Thanksgivvukah has already generated will make even the most non-affiliated, non-connected Jew want to light Chanukah candles at dusk (probably an hour or two after sitting down to the gigantic meal) and by the lighting of Chanukah candles in the environment of food, family and culturally institutionalized gratitude, some actual REAL spark of Thanksgiving will ignite the hearts of the American Jewish people, who will begin to burn with a holy fire of love and brother/sisterhood for their fellow Jews and their fellow Humans of all kinds - gratitude produces praise, and it is known that HaShem is enthroned upon the praises of His People. So when else do we "enthrone" HaShem - Rosh HaShannah, right? It's ALL CONNECTED, there are no calendar accidents, time itself is a sacred lesson, and "once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right."
Thanksgivvukah will be, in my opinion, the spark that ignites Neshamot whose flames have been snuffed down to mere embers by the burden of gashmi golus for so long.
With that in mind, we're relaunching "Heart to Heart with Lorelai," Thursday at 6pm Israel time / 8am California time. "Heart to Heart" is Lorelai's eclectic half-hour showcase for intimate interviews with passionate people.
What's the criteria? "I'm always looking for people who "twinkle" at me because they're doing something they're passionate about, something meaningful, something that imbues them with vitality."(Lorelai).
Connect with us on Thursdays - Right after "Temple Talk" at 5pm Israel time, "Heart to Heart with Lorelai" at 6pm Israel time, it's a great way to ease our way into what later becomes "Cookin' for Shabbos with Steve Levine" at 10pm Israel time ... just more of our great programming - the best music, talk & Torah 24/6 from Jerusalem (and Berkeley) to the World!
Mourning Arik Einstein is also an experience of mourning an Israeli that exists only in memory - my Israel of 1974 and 1976, my Israel where there was only one TV station (which played IDF-Meets-Jack LaLane style calisthenics every morning in black and white), where the sound of feet crunching sunflower seeds beneath sidewalks was part of the hum, where a flock of sheep crossing the street in Jerusalem routinely stopped traffic, when a bathroom was a "Beit Shemush" and not a "Sherutim." My Israel that reached from Metulla and Rosh Hanikra to Sharm El Shech, when laying beneath the starry desert sky at Dahab was both safe and normal, when a walk through the Arab Shuk via Jaffa Gate promised bloody goat body parts hanging from hooks at every turn, when Mamilla was a respectably shabby slum instead of a glittering retail installation.
A more innocent time and place, look for it no longer, for it exists only in memory - and on video, and captured recordings - luckily for us.
What hasn't changed since the '70's is how much Israelis love Arik Einstein.
Israelis love to sing. They sing in what would be to the average American male, an almost embarrassingly uninhibited way, while doing normal things - walking down the street, driving a bus or a taxi, sorting mail, sweeping the sidewalks, etc. etc. Israeli men in particular are touching in this manner - especially the burly and testosterone-endowed amongst them, G*d bless them and thank you Ribbono Shel Olam for creating this particular strain of Israeli. The guy just sings to himself, going about his business.
There's not one amongst them that doesn't sing "Ani v'Ata" as part of his everyday repertoire. With the possible exception of Naomi Shemer's "Yerushaylim Shel Zahav" and of course, "Hatikva," there isn't a more iconic song for Israelis than "Ani v'Ata." In fact, may I venture to say that "Ani v'Ata" is to Israeli culture what Alaynu is to the Orthodox liturgy. Can't get through the day without it. It's in our blood.
Bibi Netanyahu nailed it when he said Arik's music was the soundtrack of our lives.
Arik died Erev Chanukah. Let's remember his light - the light of the Reshonim of Israeli music - like the Chanukah candles, will grow in brightness forever. You and I will change the world.

"Na Nah Nachin' on Heaven's Door: Torah from Nachlaot"
Wild Card Wednesdays - See who drops by to enlighten us!
... and of course really, it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway: listen to us 24/6 at www.radiofreenachlaot.com - because Nachlaot is not JUST a neighborhood: It's a State of Mind.
Tovia Singer Interviews Rav Avraham Sutton! 5pm Israel time "Wildcard Wednesday" - "Na Nah Nachin' on Heaven's Door" - Torah from Nachlaot!
Well, I know you're asking yourself - how does either Tovia Singer or Avraham Sutton come under the category of "Torah from Nachlaot"?
Both qualify for that category, and that's why we're airing Rabbi Tovia Singer's recent interview with Rav Avraham Sutton on the "Wildcard Wednesday" episode of our new "Na Nah Nachin' on Heaven's Door: Torah from Nachlaot" show!
5pm Israel time you'll hear Avraham Sutton take Tovia Singer into INNER SPACE - and they're going to take you there too!
Rav Avraham Sutton frequently teaches at Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo in Nachlaot, run by Rav Sholom Brodt and Rebetzin Judy Brodt.
... and of course whenever Tovia is shopping for Shabbos, there's nowhere he likes to be more than Machanae Yehuda Shuk, buying freshly baked challot and the freshest salmon for his famous Shabbos Sushi.
So there you go. Another great Torah show at 5pm Israel time. Because you know we're all about the best music, talk & Torah 24/6 from Israel to the World - and even though we're triangulating a lot lately (first Tzfat, then Berkeley) our HOME, our ANCHOR LOCATION, is always and forever in Jerusalem, and thank G*d, Baruch HaShem, Steve Levine & Family are anchored to Yerushalyim and Undisclosed Studio B will always "B" THERE - no matter where Undisclosed Studio A roams!

and in true Shlomo fashion, Week 5 will not be starting on time!
Anyone who knew Shlomo, OB"M, remembers that Shlomo was always late! (It's funny that he is now refered to as the "Late Shlomo Carlebach.") Even if Shlomo came on time, until he greeted everyone in the room and returned or made a few phone calls, he never started on time. So, tonight's show Week 5 of the 9 Weeks of Shlomo will start sometime around 9PM - maybe even as late as 10:00. You see, Steve, the host of tonight's show won't be home until sometime after 9PM, and to have the show run by itself is not really the way we want to honor Shlomo. There are no "live" guests in the studio tonight, but the Live part of Sunday Night Live will be the introductions to the Shlomo pieces we're going to play, and to whatever might come to mind - music, outtakes and the like. We also have it on good authority that Steve doesn't want to miss the Shlomo Torahs, either!
Starting at 7:00 PM - The Allman Brothers Band from last March at the Beacon Theatre, 3/15/13.
Shlomo when it's just the "right time" and then to make tonight extra special, after Sunday Night Live we will go back 43 years for Elton John's live in-studio recording titled: Elton John 11/17/70. Remember that one? How could you not????
So, The Allman Brothers meet Shlomo meet Elton John - sounds good to me.
Nah Nah Nachin' on Heaven's Door: Torah from Nachlaot!
Hey people! We're working on Radio Free Nachlaot's new programming. We'll be adding "Nah, Nah, Nachin' on Heaven's Door: Torah from Nachlaot" during our "Israeli Soul Afternoon" show (1pm - 6pm Monday - Thursday) with selections from Yeshivat Sulam Yaakov and others.
Some of it will be entirely in Hebrew (for instance a Rebbe Nachman shiur by Rav Raz Hartman ), some will be in English.
Please note that simply because Lorelai can't resist a pun (i.e. "Nah Nah Nachin'") that does NOT mean that the programming will be entirely Breslov or even entirely Rebbe Nachman-oriented. We love Rebbe Nachman and he will get his fair share, and since he's a Tzadik he won't mind sharing the programming time with other Tzadikim.
These new Torah shows will be presented at 5pm Israel time Tuesdays and Thursdays. Listen and learn!
Another programming note: We'll be airing "Temple Talk" featuring Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven of The Temple Institute every Thursday at 5pm Israel time (a change from our previous time of 7pm so please make a note!) as well as Rabbi Richman's Parsha Shavua Thursdays at 1pm Israel time.
Radio Free Nachlaot: The best music, talk & Torah 24/6 from Nachlaot, Jerusalem's coolest neighborhood, to the world!
We want to remind you about MAYA!
Don't forget, you can always share your love for music with her, on Facebook during her show!
You Say It's Our Birthday - Happy Birthday To Us!
GEVALDT, It's RFN's 4th Birthday!
Rosh Chodesh Kislev marks our 4th year of broadcasting the best music, talk & Torah 24/6 to our world-wide listening audience!
Steve Levine is live on the air in Jerusalem celebrating Radio Free Nachlaot's Rosh Chodesh Kislev 4th Birthday - Lorelai be taking the radio 8am Monday, Jerusalem time / 10pm Sunday California time, to continue the party, and will be Skyping in Steve so "Papa Radio" and "Mama Radio" can simulcast a little bit and be together for the bday celebration.
Listen at www.radiofreenachlaot.com as we play "The Best of RFN Years 1-4" - and this is Week 3 of the 9 Weeks of Shlomo, and Steve is planning on playing Reb Shlomo recorded live at a Sufi retreat! That should be fun!
Yom Huledet Sameach, Radio Free Nachlaot!

Facing onto the central landscaped area at Lincoln's Inn is the UK's largest concentration of lawyers' chambers – a labyrinth of period buildings in which legal cases are prepared in close proximity to the courts. Coutts sent each chamber a letter inviting participation in her project. A single sheet of their official headed notepaper was requested on which Coutts proposed drawing a series of mimetic animals with the landscaped area as backdrop, arguing that on some level these animals had evolved similar attributes to lawyers in their manipulation of foreground and background, dark and light.
The paper acquired from five chambers was ultimately not used for this purpose (see Mimics 2). Instead Coutts made a series of photo-etchings using found images of mimetic animals, fish, birds and insects to occupy the landscape that the lawyers move through every day. The oriental flying gurnard, sun bittern, owl butterflies, serval and foureyed butterfly fish all display eye spot markings in addition to their own, making them two, one animal housed within another.

Welcome to Tunnel Vision 8!
Prince: My Close Encounter
May 5, 2016 July 1, 2016 / Tunnel Vision 8	/ Leave a comment
Almost every Minnesotan has a Prince story. Some people saw him at a gas station, or they saw him sitting with a lady friend at the Arboretum. One woman knew his hair stylist, and several other people saw him ride his bike around Paisley Park just days before he died. We all want to be part of Prince, and we are proud that he was a Minnesotan.
I am Minnesotan too, and I have a Prince story. Back in 1986, I had the opportunity to see Prince at Paisley Park Studios. I was 15 years old and a fashion model. My agency called me up to ask if I wanted to go to Paisley Park to be part of an audience. Prince filmed the video "Sign O' the Times" in Paris, but the audience shots didn't turn out. It was back in the 80's when we had videotapes. Prince wanted to recreate the lost footage.
I went to Paisley Park to be part of an audience of about a hundred people. Some people were actors, and some were models. Most of us were hired to be there. I received a check from my modeling agency for $80.00.
I spent the whole day at Paisley Park, and I was allowed to bring one friend. We arrived in the morning, and we didn't leave until about 11:00 PM. The first thing I remember is the waiting and waiting. All hundred of us shuffled into one large garage in the back of Paisley Park. We sat around waiting for our big moment to see Prince and to be part of a live concert.
Lunchtime rolled around, and all of us were starving. Prince's staff said that they were having technical difficulties, so we had to wait. Prince had a generous spirit, so he hired a McDonalds food truck to come to Paisley Park to hand out burgers, fries, and drinks.
All of us waited until it was dusk. Finally, we were allowed to go into Paisley Park Studios. We had to stand in a line before we entered the stage production area. As we waited in line, Prince walked by us. My friend, Jennifer, and I were surprised how small he was. Prince was a tiny man but so sexy!
Once we entered the stage area, we were told where to stand. Unfortunately, my friend and I stood near the back. If we were to do it all over again, we would have moved up to the front. The stage was a typical stage that you would see at a concert. Prince had his band there too.
The concert was awesome! I was in awe and mesmerized by Prince. He put on a regular show playing all his famous songs. As a crowd, we jumped up and down and did everything the staff asked us to do.
Back in 1986 was my close encounter with Prince. He is and always will be talented and sexy. We will miss Prince. May his music remind us to live our dreams.
Namaste, world.

In mid-April, the International Airline Group acquired 4.6% of the shares of Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA. Since then, IAG has made two bids to fully acquire the hybrid low-cost carrier and has been rebuffed both times. Norwegian has dramatically expanded its route map over the past few years, taking advantage of the range capability of its new Boeing 787s and 737 MAX 8s. The airline has disrupted the long-haul model with low fares on attractive routes, and its red-nosed aircraft are regularly appearing at new airports.
But that expansion has come at a financial cost, with the airline reporting a €30 million net loss in 2017, compared to 2016's €116 million profit.
Is it simply that IAG sees a struggling airline that's ripe for a takeover, one that's growing too big, too fast?
"IAG may be asking, 'If we buy Norwegian, at the right price, do we take out a competitor that could wreak financial harm by charging lower fares than we are able to profitably match?'" Harteveldt said.
The attractive US market is the prize here, and that's where Norwegian has been growing the fastest. In summer 2017, the airline became the eighth-largest over the Atlantic, a remarkable 42% increase with 245,000 extra seats since summer 2016, according to James Pearson, senior lecturer in Aviation Management at the University of Bedfordshire, UK.
"When added to the capacity of BA, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, clearly IAG would be a very strong force to be reckoned with," said Pearson.
Pearson believes that the acquisition would give IAG increased strength in confronting competitive low-cost carriers . Looking at a combination of its own European LCC Vueling and Norwegian, "passengers would exceed 60 million and they'd have nearly 280 aircraft between them. This would enable IAG, as a group, to better compete with Ryanair and easyJet, the latter with 173 aircraft in service and 80 million passengers," said Pearson.
LEVEL is a small player, and "there's no question that British Airways and Norwegian would eventually rationalize routes. For example, BA isn't going to fly from Gatwick to Oakland against Norwegian, if IAG owns it," Harteveldt said.
Norwegian's 787s could be integrated into British Airways' existing 787 Dreamliner fleet, allowing BA to accelerate the retirement of its Boeing 767s and some larger aircraft. The Airbus A321neos that Norwegian has on order would undoubtably find a home with any one of IAG's airlines, given the group's preference for Airbus single-aisle aircraft.
Norwegian's fleet of 737s could stay with the airline, which could continue to operate under IAG's structure, re-focused on its roots as a regional carrier. However, many of its aircraft are leased, giving the airline some flexibility in managing its fleet. Norwegian also operates its own leasing company, Arctic Aviation Assets.
But fleet planning appears to be in flux. The airline's current fleet is made up of about 150 Boeing 737-800, 737 MAX 8, and 787-8 and -9 aircraft, and it has 250 Boeing and Airbus planes on order.
It takes people to fly aircraft, and Norwegian — which has different Airline Operating Certificates and 23 operating bases worldwide — contracts most of its staff through OSM Aviation. The airline owns 50% of OSM, a company that provides "total crew management," according to its website. That outsourced (and for the airline, cheaper) model may not fly under IAG, where workers are paid under a more traditional model.
"I think the labor piece is going to be one of the most contentious, most complicated, most difficult aspect of this acquisition to negotiate," said Harteveldt.
According to Pearson, a deal could take two years to complete if it happens at all. "It would likely face opposition given the size of Norwegian, its presence at a number of key airports Europe-wide, and the trend of consolidation among big airline groups, especially the Lufthansa Group and IAG. I think regulators and unions would be unhappy," he said.
In the meantime, it appears to be business as usual at both airlines. But Norwegian is clearly keeping the matter in its sights. "The Norwegian Board of Directors has established a steering committee and engaged financial and judicial advisors to review the situation, handle relevant inquiries and to safeguard the interests of all shareholders," the company stated in its Q1 2018 report.
IAG includes British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling, and LEVEL. This mix of legacy, hybrid low-cost-carriers and LCCs has around 550 aircraft, flying over 100 million passengers, annually. Its airlines are all members of the Avios rewards program.
Norwegian carried 33 million passengers in 2017, on over 500 routes to more than 150 destinations. Norwegian Rewards is the airline's loyalty program.

BMW PH Is Making Ownership Costs A Lot More Affordable
BMW Service Inclusive will be able to reduce the cost of owning a BMW down to a level that's on par with more maintream cars.
SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp. (SMC ACDC), the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, is about to make owning a BMW a lot more affordable. This is through the launch of its latest program called BMW Service Inclusive, which comes on top of the industry-leading 5-year/200,000-kilometer warranty, whichever comes first.
BMW Service Inclusive (BSI) allows customers to make a one-time payment for a maintenance package that will cover the preventive maintenance costs of their new brand-new BMW vehicle for a period of five years or 60,000 kilometers. This includes work like oil changes, replacement of oil filters, spark plugs, brake fluid, and a service check according to BMW specifications. Customers may also avail of packages with higher mileage limits of up to 100,000 kilometers to accommodate more frequent or daily use. Only Original BMW Parts are used, and BSI can also be transferred to the next owner, increasing the resale value of the car.
With BSI, ownership costs are significantly lowered compared to making individual transactions every time a BMW enters the dealer. The BSI for the BMW 5 Series costs P113,100 for a package that's good for 5 years or 60,000 kilometers. Meanwhile, all BMWs have a maintenance interval of 1 year or 10,000 kilometers. Assuming that the once-a-year interval is being followed, the cost of each preventive maintenance ends up at P22,620–putting it on par with more affordable mainstream vehicles.
Apart from reducing the cost of owning a BMW, the German luxury automaker also introduced an easier, safer way to buy your dream BMW. Called the BMW Digital Showroom, the online platform aims to make the vehicle purchase process easier and of course, safer amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The BMW Digital Showroom also serves as a convenient portal to learn more about BMW vehicles, see the latest special offers, and be up-to-date on key information about the brand. Vehicle models, specifications, brochures, and pricing are easily accessible via the BMW Digital Showroom. This also serves as a jumping point, connecting visitors to their closest dealers for a private viewing or even a home-based test drive.
"We are very excited to bring these new products and share the improvements we've made for our customers and aspiring BMW owners. Not only are we offering more options in terms of vehicles, but we are also making sure that we come up with services that make the whole BMW experience as enjoyable as it can be. Strengthening our presence digitally is one of our main thrusts, and the BMW Digital Showroom is an exciting way to learn more about the brand and offer a convenient way for visitors to interact with our dealership network." SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp. President Spencer Yu.

Manual segmentation is sensitive to operator bias, while semiautomatic random walks segmentation offers an intuitive approach to understand the user knowledge at the expense of large amount of user input. In this paper, we propose a novel random walks seed auto-generation (SAGE) hybrid model that is robust to interobserver error and intensive user intervention.
Knee image is first oversegmented to produce homogeneous superpixels. Then, a ranking model is developed to rank the superpixels according to their affinities to standard priors, wherein background superpixels would have lower ranking values. Finally, seed labels are generated on the background superpixel using Fuzzy C-Means method.
SAGE has achieved better interobserver DSCs of 0.94 ± 0.029 and 0.93 ± 0.035 in healthy and OA knee segmentation, respectively. Good segmentation performance has been reported in femoral (Healthy: 0.94 ± 0.036 and OA: 0.93 ± 0.034), tibial (Healthy: 0.91 ± 0.079 and OA: 0.88 ± 0.095) and patellar (Healthy: 0.88 ± 0.10 and OA: 0.84 ± 0.094) cartilage segmentation. Besides, SAGE has demonstrated greater mean readers' time of 80 ± 19 s and 80 ± 27 s in healthy and OA knee segmentation, respectively.
SAGE enhances the efficiency of segmentation process and attains satisfactory segmentation performance compared to manual and random walks segmentation. Future works should validate SAGE on progressive image data cohort using OA biomarkers.

Where is your life do you need to let go of a Story that is holding you back, and create a new one?
Then, ask yourself: WHAT do I want (ie. the NEW Story), and WHY do I want it? You can figure out the HOW later, but knowing clearly what you want and why you want it is the foundation for a life of MORE and Having it All.


Keep up with the latest news on the leadership transitions and Mission Review of the Brick Church here.
Include your family in WNDP where we cook, serve and clean up a meal for people from the Neighborhood Coalition for Shelter. This outreach opportunity takes place in the Watson Hall Kitchen and Watson Hall Wednesday nights from 5 to 7:15 p.m.and we would love to have your help. If you are interested, please contact Rev. Adam Gorman for information so he can get you involved in this wonderful ministry. More information and dates of meals are here on the website.
We welcome you to join us at any one of these events this Advent and Christmas!
We are delighted to announce that Amy Warden has accepted the position of Director of the Brick Church School, effective August 1, 2019. This announcement caps a six-month comprehensive search process that began in April when Lydia Spinelli announced her intention to retire. Amy's expertise and consistent passion for early childhood education during her five-year tenure as Associate Director, as well as strong support from current and past parents of the Church School and from the faculty, make Amy the ideal next Director. Her knowledge, experience and vision align with the core values of the school and key areas for evolution; hence, she was the enthusiastic and unanimous choice for our next Director.
The Brick Church is fortunate to be situated in a safe area, surrounded by good neighbors. Additionally, we are not a congregation under particular threat as, unfortunately, many others are, including Jewish and Muslim places of worship. On Oct. 21, before the tragic events in Pittsburgh, a Task Force met to review security procedures at Brick Church. An initial recommendation was to add Security Guard hours to our Sunday mornings. Our wonderful weekday Security Guard, Gavin, began Sunday, Nov. 4. Gavin already knows many church members and School families. If you have not met him, please introduce yourself. Welcome, Gavin!


We offer appointments in Whaley Bridge and Buxton.
A Very Warm Welcome to Radiant Core!
Imagine you wake up on Monday morning. It is early. Much earlier than usual. You feel fully rested when the first sun rays reach your face through the bedroom's window. You roll in bed slightly, then cuddle your beloved one. You wiggle your toes, stretch again and move to the side. You begin to cherish the extra 30 minutes ahead of you.
You get up, do your 5-min stretching routine and prepare herbal tea.
Now, while sipping the nettle tea, you are ready to look at your agenda.
Two unpleasant complaints to make, two mentoring talks with younger colleagues who work poorly, a discussion with your co-worker who has been delaying progress on a project for weeks, working on a computer, rewriting the report you have been working on, preparing a new evaluation for your boss, and three tele-conferences on the top of a few decisions to be made.
Much more than it is possible to fit in a day. Yet, you stay calm and centered, deeply connected to your inner self.
You choose to concentrate on doing what is in front of you with genuine seriousness. Willingly, with justice.
You will focus on the task at hand and set yourself free from other distractions. You are pain free. Both physical and emotional.
You feel like the radiant energy runs through you nourishing your Body and Mind to help you to face the day.
"Welcome my New Day", you say with a smile. You enter the day while being fully present. With attentive joy to face your challenges.
You are now in a place in life when things look much different to how they used to be.
What did make the difference?
Your connection to your Inner Self, your Radiant Core.
If you want to awake you Radiant Core and experience flow, come and see us.
We are here to help you to get well physically, mentally and emotionally.
The goal of the therapies offered here is to help you to re-balance Body and Mind so that you can feel empowered, regain energy and life back. Once at ease, you will re-model your life to your liking. It may take time, but it is possible with the right practice, willingness and conscious effort.
Wellness is real. It is a clear sign of being in the flow with life. Blood, lymph and energy are moving in the body in unobstructed ways, providing nutrients and nourishment, as well as creative ideas, harmony and the sense of peace.
Pain, either physical or emotional, is real. It is a clear sign of stagnation. Stagnation is created by trapped energy, Qi, on some level in your body. It may affect muscles, tendons, lymph, blood and organs, or it may cause a vicious circle of thoughts or emotions.
Pain is disturbance. You may feel tense, aching, fatigued, swollen or bloated. Every organ, be it Liver or Kidneys, have their own function and energy, and works in co-operation with other organs.
For instance, Lungs' role is to send the energy down and disperse it in all directions to provide the body with oxygen. Once it is disturbed due to build-up emotional tension (sadness, grief or worry), you may begin to slouch, hide your head in the shoulders and look constantly down. With tension and contraction, the functioning of Lungs is disturbed and, as a result, breathing becomes inefficient. With time this may lead to asthma, breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, dry cough, sharp pains in the chest, eczema and so on.
Chinese medicine recognises how energy is trapped and discriminates between the organs to find out which ones are contributing to the issue. Once the cause of disturbance is understood, a treatment to restore wellness (medicinal massage, acupuncture, cupping, soft tissue therapy, singing bowl massage) can be applied effectively.
This is what our goal is. To understand the issue and help from inside out. The real healing occurs because of the process which consolidates the therapy with a deep relaxation on the level of Body and Mind.
Wellness is not a state of perfect health, but a state of an internal harmony which is being created in every moment.
It originates from a strong and balanced Core. Of You.
Let me use a metaphor. Imagine you want to create a three leg chair.
If one of the legs is either too short or too long, it will be impossible to sit on. If all the legs have variable lengths, a monstrous chair will be created. If, either the legs are of variable thickness or unequally split, the chair will be hard to function. The three legs have to be balanced to guarantee a good support, as otherwise the chair will function poorly to its purpose.
If you want to get well, you need to treat them with respect and harmonise their contributions. Your Core and functionality originates from that.
It is the quality of sound, touch and listening, together with the strong intent, that will make the difference for you. I am interested in doing the BEST and the massage / acupuncture principles I rely on facilitate the synthesis of Body, Mind and Soul. Your metabolism awaits to be boosted, your nervous system strives for calmness, while the clarity and the sense of well-being are set to be free.
The treatments are supportive and can be applied individually or alongside other therapies from infancy to an old age.
Come and experience what is possible.

Q: Logging with two handlers - one to file and one to stderr I have the following code to create two logging handlers. The goal is to have the stream_handler write only to the sterr and the file_handler only to file.
In the code below, stream_handler writes to the file as well, so I have duplicate log entries whenever I log a message. How can I modify it to get the stream_handler not to write to the file?
def create_timed_rotating_log(
        name='log',
        path='logs/',
        when='D',
        interval=1,
        backupCount=30,
        form='%(asctime)s | %(name)s |  %(levelname)s: %(message)s',
        sterr = False,
        verbose=False):

  logger = logging.getLogger(name)
  formatter = logging.Formatter(form)
  logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

  if sterr:
      stream_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
      stream_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG if verbose else logging.ERROR)
      stream_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
      logger.addHandler(stream_handler)

  file_handler = TimedRotatingFileHandler(filename=path+name,
                                          when=when,
                                          interval=interval,
                                          backupCount=backupCount)
  file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
  file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG if verbose else logging.ERROR)
  logger.addHandler(file_handler)

  return logger

A: Looks like you have considered that the messages go to both handlers as duplication.  If you wanted the file not to receive messages and them to only go to stderr, when stderr=True, you never to put the code that adds the file handler in an else so that it is only added if stderr=False
Specifically:
if sterr:
    stream_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
    stream_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG if verbose else logging.ERROR)
    stream_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(stream_handler)
else:
    file_handler = TimedRotatingFileHandler(filename=path+name,
                                          when=when,
                                          interval=interval,
                                          backupCount=backupCount)
    file_handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    file_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG if verbose else logging.ERROR)
    logger.addHandler(file_handler)

I had considered this possible but less likely than the more common issue of setting up handlers multiple times when how you are supposed use logging is that in the main module you add the handlers to the root logger and then only get the logger for the current module via logger = logging.getLogger(__name__). This and import logging is the only logging code that should appear in any but the module where if __name__=="__main__": occurs where right after that it should setup the logging.

The only way you will have duplicates is if you call that function in your program twice. The issue isn't these two handlers but the other two handlers from the second call to this setup function.
You need to just add the handlers once to the root logger not once for every logger in each module.

A: Not exactly sure why this is the case but adding the StreamHandler first causes it to also write to the file. I moved the StreamHandler to after adding the TimedRotatingFileHandler and this resolved the problem.

Dental implants are primarily used to treat badly damaged or broken teeth and restore them to proper normal functionality. This is usually done by attaching the implant to the underlying teeth bone and uses an artificial crown that imitates our natural tooth. However, depending on your oral condition both before and after the treatment, the implant treatment may result in failure which would then require a replacement.
Your teeth can get damaged on account of tooth decay and cavities and even gum problems. In these cases, your dental care professional can recommend a dental implant to restore your tooth to normal condition. It is made primarily of three parts – the implant attaches itself to your underlying bone; the abutment goes over the implant and acts as a support for the crown; the artificial crown that is modeled after the tooth that is to be replaced.
Most commonly, dental implants fail because of negligence on part of both the patient and your dentist when administering the treatment.
Dental implants depend on the integrity of your gum tissue and underlying bone in order to function as treatment dictates. If the implant is placed with existing gum problems, the implant can fail and further infect and damage the existing tissue as well as the surrounding teeth.
Proper integration with the underlying bone, which is termed as osseointegration, is necessary to ensure that the implant treatment succeeds. If this is not integrated as it should, it can result in bone loss which would require further surgeries and a possible implant replacement to fix.
The gums will be more sensitive immediately after the implant treatment and be vulnerable to infections. If a dental implant is placed without taking the necessary precautions to strengthen the gum tissue, the implant can fail and further cause infections which will lead to periodontal disease.
Dental implants can also fail on account of improper positioning. This is not just for the implant itself, but can affect the surrounding teeth as well.
It is normal for teeth to shift while you are asleep. A dental implant that is integrated with the bone is also subjected to these shifts. It is essential to take these shifts into account when placing the implant by using a micro-bridge which won't affect the surrounding teeth and cause crowding.
If your dental care professional does not conduct treatments for your mouth before going through with implant placement, then the implant is more likely to fail. It is necessary that your oral condition is healthy before your implant can replace the affected tooth.
Regular checkups with your dental hygienist or dentist for cleaning treatments can help maintain your oral hygiene and reduce the chances of your implant failing.

I'm from a town in the middle of Norway called Trondheim. It's the third biggest city in Norway despite it's relatively small size. I'm currently residing in Mile End in East London, UK.
Ah that's a tough one as I find influence in so many things! Fashion, people on the street, video games, film, experiences, photography, other amazing illustrators/animators. The list could go on and on!
I came to England to in 2011 to study illustration and animation at Kingston University in South London.There were very few courses in Norway that I wanted to study, so I chose to go study abroad. Since graduating in 2014 I've been working as a freelance animator and illustrator.
Over the past few months feel like I've been on a journey to finding my identity as a designer and illustrator. I've found my niche and can work to become more confident in my own work. What I would love to do next is more design based work for companies and studios. I'd also love to explore the possibilities of game design and VR.

EV1 («Electrical Vehicle 1») — електромобіль компанії General Motors. Випускався з 1997 року, другого покоління — з 1999. Був доступний тільки в Каліфорнії та Аризоні і лише на умовах лізингу.

У першому поколінні були встановлені звичайні свинцево-кислотні акумулятори. Було здано в лізінг 650 примірників. На другому поколінні EV-1 встановлювалися нікель-метал-гидридні акумулятори. Було здано в лізінг 465 примірників.

Всього було виготовлено 1117 шт. EV-1.

В 2003 програма була закрита. Електромобілі вилучені у експлуатантів і знищені. У музеях залишилося два примірники.

Характеристики
 Заряд свинцево-кислотної батареї EV1 дозволяє проїхати 150 км по шосе і 120 км у місті. До 250 км на нікель-металгідридній батареї.
 EV1 розганяється з місця до 96 км/год за 9 секунд і розвиває примусово обмежену швидкість 129 км/год.
 Вага автомобіля 1350 кг
 Батарея важить 533 кг, складається з 26 12-вольтових акумуляторів, які зберігають 1378 А * год електроенергії.
 Двигун: трифазний електродвигун змінного струму потужністю 102 кВт/138 к.с. в діапазоні від 7000 до 14 000 об/хв. Крутильний момент на провідних колесах при початку руху з місця — 1640 Н * м. (Він тримається на цій позначці до тих пір, поки двигун не розкрутиться до 7000 оборотів).
 Замість коробки передач — двоступінчастий редуктор, що сповільнює обертання електродвигуна в 10,946 рази.
 Кузов: просторова зварна тримальна конструкція з алюмінієвого сплаву, важить всього 132 кг.
 Переносний зарядний пристрій компактний, його можна підключити до звичайної побутової розетки американського стандарту 120 В/60 Гц, але зарядка займе 10-12 годин.
 Корпус має дуже низький коефіцієнт аеродинамічного опору Cx = 0.195.

Вартість
Електромобілі надавалися власникам в лізинг за цінами від $ 33 995 до $ 43 995. Щомісячний платіж становив від $ 299 до $ 574. Представник General Motors заявляв, що вартість EV-1 для General Motors становить приблизно $ 80 000, включаючи витрати на дослідницькі роботи та інші платежі.

Більша частина вартості електромобіля припадає на вартість акумуляторних батарей. Можна сказати, що власник електромобіля купує запас палива, тому що вартість пробігу електромобіля незрівнянно мала у порівнянні з вартістю пробігу автомобіля з двигуном внутрішнього згоряння. За пробіг 1 милі електромобіль споживає електроенергії приблизно на $ 0,01 — $ 0,03.

About the country Mali, its location, size, population, leaders and rulers.
Lay of the Land: Landlocked in central West Africa. Sandstone plateaus, edged by sharp cliffs, interrupt the generally level terrain. The Sahara Desert in the north gives way to arable land in the south. The lifeblood of the country is the Niger River, which (hopefully) floods over every year to enrich the nearby soil.
Size: 478,822 sq. mi. (1,240,142 sq. km.), about 4/5 the size of Alaska.
Who Rules: Mali is in a state of political limbo. A constitution approved in 1974 takes effect in 1980. The document calls for the creation of a single party, the Democratic Union of Mali People, and an elected president with broad discretionary powers. Blackballed from participation in any future government, however, is anyone who was in office prior to the military coup of 1968. There are no political parties at present.
Who REALLY Rules: Until 1980, the Military Committee of National Liberation will discharge all executive and legislative functions. The committee's presiding officer is Moussa Traore, who has run Mali since the 1968 coup.


For Year 2018, Hot Wheels has released two colors for the 2016 Ford GT Race which are red and orange under the Legend of Speed series.
In 2017, Hot Wheels released three Ford GT Race models whereby two were under HW Speed Graphics series (in blue and white colors) and one under Forza Motorsports series.
The 2016 Ford GT Race was built to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans where Ford won fifty years ago. It secures victory spot in 2016 GTE Pro Class and runner-up spot in 2017.
Here is the latest addition to our Ford GT collection.
Lower grille sits flush. Not too visible are the three-bank headlights as in the real race car.
Here, you can see side air duct for the rear engine intake. Side exhaust outlets can be seen too.
Rear engined 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6!
Hope Hot Wheels will release one in Le Mans' edition.
So looking around your site, I found this post too.
I can't believe Hot Wheels are still going strong. Used to play with them 45 years ago as a kid.
Great to see your very artistic shots of the cars.
Great job you did of the photography!

After the wettest winter in a hundred years, scientists are predicting that 2014 will be the hottest summer on record. If your feet tend to swell in the heat, investing in a pair of wide fitting sandals could help you stay comfy and cool when the temperatures start to climb.
Swelling of the legs and feet is called peripheral oedema and is very common. When the swelling is heat-related, it's referred to as heat oedema. But what causes our feet to swell more during the summer months?
When we encounter warm or hot weather, it's a natural reaction for the blood vessels to widen. This widening of the blood vessels leads to swelling, which is a mechanism our bodies use to help us cool down. This swelling, however natural, can be very uncomfortable or even painful, particularly if you are already prone to suffering from swollen feet and legs.
Sandals with a flexible fastening can be helpful if feet swell in the heat as they can be adjusted to fit as the day goes on. Adjustable fabric sandals made from cotton can also help keep swollen feet cool and comfortable.

San Francisco becoming new hub for California technology industry?

More and more paths of venture capital financing are leading to San Francisco, not Silicon Valley (photo: El Frito/Flickr)
Silicon Valley is known as the innovation capital of the world.
Many of the world's top technology companies call the region home—like Google, Apple, Intel and Cisco to name a few.
But wait a minute. What's this? Is the nucleus of the Silicon Valley shifting north to San Francisco?
According to tech incubator the Hatchery, San Francisco led the world in venture capital funding for the past three years and it has more than 4,000 startups just in the South Market area.
This trend is thanks in part to the rise of social media and companies like Twitter and Yelp who have set up shop in the city.
"Silicon Valley is starting to migrate to San Francisco," Chris Farley, co-founder of real estate analysis firm Polaris Group, told the San Jose Mercury.
If you've ever been to Northern California, you know the two regions are very distinct, offering new businesses something different.
"In the Peninsula and South Bay, Silicon Valley's traditional geography, you're driving from one business park to the next. In San Francisco, everything's happening in a 1-mile radius," Foley said.
San Jose is trying to compete for those start-ups, but the city's mayor told the San Jose Mercury that it's getting harder.
"Courting startups get more challenging this year when the state killed redevelopment agenices," said San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed.
But it's not all bad news for the Silicon Valley city. "We have millions of square feet of space that's been vacant since the dot com bust and that's a huge asset," Reed said.
From 2007 to 2011, dozens of companies have set up shop or relocated in those vacant spaces, adding nearly 9,000 jobs.
Not to be out beaten, San Francisco's mayor Ed Lee is working on plans to keep the businesses coming to the city.
As mayor, he approved a deal with Twitter to avoid paying a 1.5 percent city payroll tax on new hires for the next six years—this will reportedly save the powerhouse company $22 million.
One might argue, San Francisco has the space, there isn't a lot of it, but there's some. Real estate brokerage group CBRE reported tech companies signed more than 2 million square feet of office space in the first five months of this year.
Real estate vacancies in Palo Alto and Mountain View are barely at 2 percent.

Hunt Valve, a fluid power engineering company specializing in severe duty valves and components, was acquired by May River Capital. May River plans to invest in the company to build a platform that will accelerate the company's profitable growth.
Brad Sterner, Hunt Valve's new president and CEO, said that the company's history of supplying severe-duty valves to the metals industry and U.S. Navy provides a solid foundation to expand in Hunt's core markets, as well as new sectors that include energy, transportation, process and oil & gas. The company currently enjoys a very stable and profitable business with industrial blue chip customers, along with naval boat contractors Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries, and the U.

"We look forward to profitably growing Hunt to strengthen our presence in the Salem, Ohio, community and continue to build upon our reputation as a reliable, responsible corporate citizen," he said.
