Q: Generate a designed PDF report from a web application I want to generate a PDF report from a web application. The PDF should contain charts (pie, bar), tables, different fonts and colors.
The server-side of the application is Java, the client-side is AngularJS (and of course CSS3 and HTML).
Two main options:

*

*The client side will pass some parameters to the server, and the server will generate the PDF report, using a Java package. Then the report will be sent back to the client as a downloaded file.

*The client will generate the report, using a JS package that converts HTML and CSS to PDF.

In the Java world, I've found for example iText and JFreeChart, like here. The problem here is that the design of charts look bad in the example, and I don't know if it can be changed to be designed by the style-guide I have (a design that can be done easily with CSS).
In the JS world, I've found for example html2canvas and pdfMake, like here. The problem here is that I'm not sure the conversion from HTML to canvas and then to PDF will work good in an Angular application. And I'm not sure it converts well complicated DOM elements, like charts in svg or canvas elements.
Do you have any experience with these packages? Do you know other recommended packages for this task, client or server?

A: Want to share my solution... I chose a client-side solution.
I started with jsPDF, but had some problems. For example, it was hard to convert tables with the style I want.
I chose pdfMake for the PDF generation, html2canvas for taking screenshots of complicated designed components, and canvg for conversion of d3js charts (svg charts) to canvas (pdfMake can add canvas as image to the document).
I wrote a function that gets the CSS class of the HTML root of the part I want to convert to PDF (remember it's a single-page application), and also gets a meta data of which HTML nodes (again, by their CSS classes) should be added to the PDF (and what type is the node - table/text/image/svg).
Then, with DOM traversing, I walked through the elements I want to add to the PDF, and handled each one by its type. Part of the code (the traversing and the switch-case by type):
$(htmlRootSelector).contents().each(function processNodes(index, element) {
    var classMeta = getMetaByClass(element.className);

    if (!classMeta) {
      $(element).contents().each(processNodes);
      return;
    }

    var pdfObj = {};
    pdfObj.width = classMeta.width || angular.undefined;
    pdfObj.height = classMeta.height || angular.undefined;
    pdfObj.style = classMeta.style || angular.undefined;
    pdfObj.pageBreak = classMeta.pageBreak || angular.undefined;

    switch (classMeta.type) {
    case 'text':
      pdfObj.text = element.innerText;
      pdfDefinition.content.push(pdfObj);
      break;
    case 'table':
      var tableArray = [];
      var headerArray = [];
      var headers = $(element).find('th');
      var rows = $(element).find('tr');
      $.each(headers, function (i, header) {
        headerArray.push({text: header.innerHTML, style: classMeta.style + '-header'});
      });
      tableArray.push(headerArray);

      $.each(rows, function (i, row) {
        var rowArray = [];
        var cells = $(row).find('td');

        if (cells.length) {
          $.each(cells, function (j, cell) {
            rowArray.push(i % 2 === 1 ? {text: cell.innerText, style: classMeta.style + '-odd-row'} : cell.innerText);
          });

          tableArray.push(rowArray);
        }
      });

      pdfObj.table = {
        widths: $.map(headers, function (d, i) {
          return i === 0 ? 80 : '*';
        }),
        body: tableArray
      };
      pdfDefinition.content.push(pdfObj);
      break;
    case 'image':
      html2CanvasCount++;
      htmlToCanvas(element, pdfObj);
      pdfDefinition.content.push(pdfObj);
      break;
    case 'svg':
      svgToCanvas(element, pdfObj);
      pdfDefinition.content.push(pdfObj);
      break;
    default:
      break;
    }

    $(element).contents().each(processNodes);
  });

This is the solution in general.
Hope it will help someone.

It is estimated that 2,000 children die of cancer each year in the US, and it is always a devastating experience to see a young child suffer from this terrible disease. Childhood cancer rates have been rising, but the problem is that many childhood research efforts are lagging behind the focus that has been given to adults. Why are our children being neglected?
The truth can be uncovered in the business side of the medical industry, and the profitability of cancer research and treatments. Childhood cancer accounts for less than 1% of all cancer patients each year, which means that there isn't a lot of money to be made by focusing on children. So, drug makers focus on the adult treatments instead, because there are many more adults who can use the medications… resulting in higher profit margins.
When it comes to health, the focus shouldn't be about the money! The lives of thousands of children are at stake, and each individual matters regardless of the cost. It is difficult to reconcile the business of the medical industry with the Christ-like virtues of being charitable and watching out for our neighbor. In the Bible story of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan didn't worry about the cost, because he was only focused on helping someone in need.
There are other aspects of cancer education that are neglected as well, such as lifestyle changes and natural remedies that have been proven to promote healing. Holistic practitioners have discovered that lifestyle factors are directly connected with the development of cancer, yet focus hasn't been placed on these natural solutions because the profit margins aren't as big as modern medical treatments that can be patented and sold with high price tags.
So, it is up to parents to learn more about the options that are available for their family. Once you understand the importance of dietary and lifestyle choices for cancer prevention and treatment, you will see the importance of incorporating these changes into your home. As a parent, you have the ability to support your children and teach them healthy habits that will last well into adulthood.
There are many dietary and environmental factors that can increase the risk of cancer, and you should take a proactive approach to avoid these toxic things. By adjusting your diet and lifestyle habits, it is possible to reduce the risk of cancer in your family.
Many children are living sedentary lifestyle and their diets are very unhealthy. These are factors that can lead to the development of cancer. When these unhealthy habits are combined with limited funding for childhood cancer research, it leaves many families in desperate situations if their child is diagnosed with cancer.
For more information about dietary choices and household products that might increase the risk of both childhood and adult cancer, read Ann Malkmus' book, Unravel the Mystery. You will find valuable information that can be used to improve the health of every member in your family. Also, check out our Cancer Get Started Kit to learn more about supplements that can be used to reduce the risk of cancer and help your body heal.
Excellent facts and information on childhood cancer! What a travesty in our country. So many of us grew up TRUSTING our DOCTORS for our health and they are the ones who are making huge profits off our illnesses and at our expense.. We need a complete overhaul in our knowledge of real health care and most importantly knowledge in prevention of.
We have recently met an older gentleman who subscribed to the doctors advice for his cancer, had his stomach removed. Took the deadly medicines recommended for a period of time. Since the medications were making him so sick and destroyed his enjoyment in life he chose to stop the medicine. He felt he was better off watching his diet and consumption of food at one time and to his credit he is enjoying life much better than he was on medication. We recently witnessed this for ourselves.
I believe the treatments prescribed along with medications and the lack of knowledge on our part is what is killing us.

Q: WCF - Channel time out when running app from different machine I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with my app running at a client's site. The app uses WCF to send and retrieve files.
It was running flawlessly but started to show the following error after the client started running from a different machine in the same network:

The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:57.6797680. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to
  Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time
  allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer
  timeout.

All timeouts in the config have been increased to 10min and it made no difference.
Unfortunately I cannot run this locally with VS to debug it.
Here's the binding:
<customBinding>
  <binding name="MyServiceSoap12">
    <textMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64" maxWritePoolSize="16"
        messageVersion="Soap11WSAddressingAugust2004" writeEncoding="utf-8">
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
          maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
    </textMessageEncoding>
    <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" >
      <localClientSettings maxClockSkew="00:10:00"/>
      <localServiceSettings maxClockSkew="00:10:00"/>
      <secureConversationBootstrap>
        <localClientSettings maxClockSkew="00:30:00"/>
        <localServiceSettings maxClockSkew="00:30:00"/>
      </secureConversationBootstrap>
    </security>
    <httpsTransport manualAddressing="false" maxBufferPoolSize="200000000"
        maxReceivedMessageSize="200000000" allowCookies="false" authenticationScheme="Anonymous"
        bypassProxyOnLocal="false" decompressionEnabled="true" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
        keepAliveEnabled="true" maxBufferSize="200000000" proxyAuthenticationScheme="Anonymous"
        realm="" transferMode="Buffered" unsafeConnectionNtlmAuthentication="false"
        useDefaultWebProxy="true" requireClientCertificate="false" />
  </binding>
</customBinding>

Update: The connectivity to the service is OK - the app runs other service operations without issues, from the same service. One particular operation (that retrieves files) is causing the error.
Where would you start looking?
Thanks!

A: are you sending a large file?
did you increase the SendTimeout attribute? (I did not see it in your config)

Wealth Spells; Money Spells & Money Rituals or simply put, Spells & Rituals to come into steady and risk-free unending money is the wish of most men. yet, over the years few, very few have learnt the secret of coming into cash and keeping it. in Voodoo and Black Magic practises, there are several ways of achieving this seemingly elusive desire.
This procedure involves purchasing and burying a fat cow alive either in the jungles of Africa or deep inside the amazon forests in South America. as the cow begins to decay after death, the number of maggots that will arise therefrom will be the amount of cash flowing to you in all your business and social endeavours. when the money begins to dwindle, the procedure will again be repeated again and then again until the persons demise. this procedure guarantees steady flow of cash and consequently provides security from lack and starvation.
From all indications, membership of a cult or fraternity (such as the Illuminati, the brotherhood and aboriginal oghoni to mention a few) dedicated to see their members become rich is common knowledge to many. no one can doubt their existence. the problem however, is joining up to become a member. the procedure is almost impossible. non members are kept out and their practises are hidden from the general public earning them the name 'secret societies' to become a member, an existing member has to recommend you; something many of them are reluctant to do.
Their means of ensuring that members are super rich is by monopolising every means of production within the fraternity. non member can only eat left overs. their members are the owners of the big banks and insurance companies making money easily available to members at cheap and long term basis. they own luxurious hotels and holiday resort. they are at the helm of corporations and even control the government of their various countries through which they dictate state policies. the big pharmaceutical companies belong to them. they keep the civil populace leased and enslaved through their banks. members swear an oath of allegiance to one another.
this is a brotherhood based on mutual agreement and sealed with blood. members do absolutely no work but are wealthy and well educated. initiation means being blind folded in the night in a council of 6 members who are the inner caucus. you will be presented a plate of raw meat which you will be asked to pick one and eat. at death, the very part you picked is what will be taken from your body before burial.
the procedure here involves a series of ritual where Beelzebub (Satan's representative on planet earth) will be begged to grant you wealth of unlimited means. what is most dear to you will be demanded in return for wealth. if you agree, the procedure will be completed that night and a few months later, whatever your hand touches becomes gold. the objective of the ritual is to make you rich through whatever business it is that you are engaged in. if you are selling shoes for instance, your shoes will become the hottest cake in the area. and in no time at all, you will have shoe factories scattered all over the continents. if you don't have a business, you will be encouraged to open one. just anything you enjoy doing.
as the name implies, this a straight forward agreement made with the devil in front of members in a dark meeting at a cemetery. it is similar to Black magic ritual. the difference is that in a pack with the Devil, the wealth seeker does absolutely no work. he will be under a master who is also in league with the Devil but on a higher lane. the master may not have big money, but has power. the master wanted power in place of money. this master can terminate the life of any member at an instant. he also sees to the welfare of all members under his care so that the wealth does not diminish.
it is 100% possible to obtain a winning number of jack pot. but wait. there is a string to it. the amount desired is directly related to the sacrifice to obtain it. after indicating an interest in winning a lottery, the conditions will be laid out according a persons date of birth. if he or she is able to fulfil the conditions, the number will be revealed ONLY to him in the night in a dream before the game is announced. the very last night before the draw. not even us will know this number. it is done once in a life time, so it is better to go for a figure that a prospective gambler will be comfortable with for the rest of his life because the opportunity will not be repeated. we want to state here loud and clear that it is an expensive voodoo and black magic procedure. the higher the amount desired, the costlier it will be for the prospective gambler.
There are hundredths other ways of achieving wealth and fame that maybe unknown to us. what we have mentioned here is what we are able to do or assist in achieving.

26 Questions To Help You Know Yourself Better
2 Comments / codependency / By Sharon Martin
How well do you know yourself?
Do you have a strong sense of identity?
Do you know who you are, what you believe in, what matters to you, what you feel, what you want?
If not, read on to learn how to get in touch with your true self.
Developmentally, we wrestle with "finding ourselves" as teens and young adults. Then we often revisit these questions in middle age. It's both normal and essential to seek self-understanding. In order to accept ourselves and establish a sense of belonging, we need to understand who we are. A strong sense of self helps us navigate life and brings meaning to our experiences. Without it, we feel "lost."
Why do we experience a loss of identity?
We put everyone else's needs before our own. When we focus on others and neglect ourselves, we fail to recognize and value ourselves and our needs. We minimize who we are and what we need.
We're disconnected from our thoughts and feelings. We commonly keep ourselves so distracted and numb with alcohol, food, and electronics that we miss important information about who we are. How often do you reach for your phone or a snack whenever you get even slightly uncomfortable? These things keep us from knowing ourselves because we don't allow ourselves to be curious and ask ourselves how we're really feeling.
We experience life transitions and changes in our roles. Experience like a divorce, retirement, job loss, death of a loved one, or other traumatic events can also result in losing our sense of self, especially the parts associated with our roles.
We feel ashamed and unworthy, and consequently bury parts of ourselves. We were told that we're bad, strange, ugly, stupid, or unworthy. We were criticized or teased. Maybe you loved to play chess as a kid, but were told that it's not cool to join the chess club. So you quit. Or perhaps you were shamed for your sexual orientation and tried to deny it. We're told we have to fit a certain mold if we're to fit in. So, we squish our square peg selves into round holes and try to be something we're not. After years of doing this, we lose track of who we really are.
I've created some questions or journal prompts that can help you rediscover yourself.
Questions to help you know yourself better:
What are my strengths?
What are my short-term goals? Long-term goals?
Who matters most to me? Who are my support people?
What am I ashamed of?
What do I like to do for fun?
What new activities am I interested in or willing to try?
What am I worried about?
What are my values? What do I believe in? (consider politics, religion, social issues)
If I could have one wish, it would be ___________
Where do I feel safest?
What or who gives me comfort?
If I wasn't afraid, I would ___________
What is my proudest accomplishment?
What is my biggest failure?
Am I a night owl or an early bird? How can I arrange my life to better suit this part of my nature?
What do I like about my job? What do I dislike?
What does my inner critic tell me?
What do I do to show myself self-compassion and self-care?
Am I an introvert or an extrovert? Am I energized being around others or being by myself?
What am I passionate about?
What is my happiest memory?
What do my dreams tell me?
What is my favorite book? Movie? Band? Food? Color? Animal?
When I'm feeling down I like to ___________________
I know I'm stressed when I ______________________
Rediscovering yourself is a process. You don't need to rush through all these questions today! I suggest answering only one or two per day so you can explore them in-depth. But work at your own pace–perhaps one per week is more realistic for you. There is no judgment and this isn't a race.
You may also want to revisit these questions in a month or two. You are continuing to evolve and grow, so some of your answers will change, as well.
Once you've answered these questions, you can start to think of ways to put your self-knowledge into action. How can you live more authentically? How can you pursue your goals, do things that interest you, and exhibit your values?

Overcome Perfectionism!
Do you hold yourself—and perhaps others—to extremely high standards? Do you have a nagging inner-critic that tells you you're inadequate no matter how much you achieve? Do you procrastinate certain tasks because you're afraid you won't carry them out perfectly? If you've answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, chances are you're a perfectionist. And while there's nothing wrong with hard work and high standards, perfectionism can take over your life if you let it.

Blacula Returns as a Graphic Novel from Rodney Barnes and Jason Shawn Alexander
Posted on August 6, 2021 by Graphic Policy Team
Zombie Love Studios, the comic studio and publishing imprint founded by Eisner Award nominated graphic novel creator and award-winning television writer-producer Rodney Barnes, has announced it plans to release a graphic novel adaptation of the classic 1970s film Blacula. Securing the graphic novel rights from Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), Barnes has reteamed with his Killadelphia collaborator and fellow Eisner Award nominee Jason Shawn Alexander to illustrate the property.
Expanding from the original film, Barnes' Blacula builds a bridge from the 70's version of the iconic bloodsucker to our present-day world and all of its complications. Under the agreement, Barnes will adapt and release the property through his Zombie Love Studios. The graphic novel is slated for a February 2022 release.
Originally released in 1972 by American International Pictures (AIP) and later acquired by MGM through the studio's acquisition of Orion Pictures, Blacula quickly became one of the highest-grossing films of its year, landing at #24 on Variety's list of top films. The original Blacula is widely considered one of the first depictions of a Black vampire on-screen, and has been credited with sparking a wave of Black-themed horror films that would follow. However, it is the film's storytelling and layered subtext that sparked Barnes creative interest. Using vampirism as a metaphor for slavery's long-term repercussions, the original film offered cultural commentary that spoke to a deeper social and psychological curse inflicted upon a whole people. This creative characteristic is one that falls very much in line with Barnes' approach to genre and content as a whole, but also speaks directly to the inspiration and motivation for launching his own comic studio and publishing imprint.

This Messianic Bible study will focus on the Suffering Messiah of Isaiah 53. This chapter will be dealt with rather extensively because the proper interpretation is the major bone of contention between Jews who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) and Jews who do not believe in Him.
This passage will be divided into five main sections: the paradox, the source of the paradox, the text, clues to the interpretation of the text, and the conclusion.
I. THE PARADOX
Anyone who sets himself to the task of seeking to know what the Old Testament has to say about the coming of the Messiah soon finds himself involved with a seeming paradox. At times, one even seems to be faced with an outright contradiction, for the Jewish prophets gave a twofold picture of the Messiah who was to come.
On the one hand, the inquirer will find numerous predictions regarding the Messiah, which portray Him as One who is going to suffer humiliation, physical harm, and finally death in a violent manner. This death was stated by the Jewish prophets to be a substitutionary death for the sins of the Jewish people. On the other hand, he will find that the Jewish prophets also spoke of the Messiah coming as a conquering king who will destroy the enemies of Israel and set up the Messianic Kingdom of peace and prosperity.
Thus there is the twofold picture the Jewish prophets gave of the Messiah. For centuries past, during the formulation of the Talmud, the rabbis made serious studies of messianic prophecies and concluded that the prophets spoke of two different Messiahs. The Messiah who was to come, suffer, and die was termed Mashiach ben Yosef or Messiah, the Son of Joseph. The second Messiah who would then come following the first was termed Mashiach ben David or Messiah, the Son of David. This One would raise the first Messiah
back to life and establish the Messianic Kingdom of peace on earth.
That the Old Testament presents these two lines of messianic prophecy was something that all the early rabbis recognized. The Old Testament never clearly states that there will be two Messiahs. In fact, many of the paradoxical descriptions are found side by side in the
same passages in which, it seems, that only one person is meant. Nevertheless, for the early rabbis, the Two Messiahs Theory seemed to be the best answer.
For centuries, Orthodox Judaism held to the concept of two Messiahs. However, since the Talmudic period in the history of the Jewish people, Messiah, the Son of David alone was played up in the imaginations of Jewish hearts and minds. The other messianic figure–Messiah, the Son of Joseph, the Suffering One–was ignored. He was there in Jewish theology when needed to explain the Suffering Messiah passages contained in the Old Testament, for His existence provided an escape clause when thorny questions were raised. Otherwise, this messianic figure was largely ignored. Today, few Jews have heard of Messiah, the Son of Joseph or know of his existence in Jewish theology of days gone by. Today, the Messiah that Jews know of is Messiah, the Son of David, the Conquering One.
II. THE SOURCE OF THE PARADOX
One of the major sources from which the rabbis developed their concept of the Suffering Messiah, the Son of Joseph, was Isaiah 53. The present-day bone of contention regarding what the Old Testament says about the Messiah centres on this chapter. The passage speaks of the Servant of Jehovah. This Servant undergoes a great deal of suffering, ending in death. The chapter goes on to state that this suffering is a vicarious suffering, that the death is a substitutionary death for sin. He is suffering and dying for the sins of others. The passage goes on to indicate that this Servant is resurrected. The bone of contention is not so much over what the passage says, but of whom it speaks.
The question today is, "Of whom was Isaiah speaking?" Did he prophesy concerning the Messiah here? Rabbis say that this is the "Christian" interpretation of this passage, not the Jewish one. "The Jewish interpretation," they would say, "is that Isaiah is speaking about
the people of Israel, the Jewish people suffering in the Gentile world, and it does not speak of the Messiah at all." almost to force an interpretation. Taken by itself, the passage seems to have only one individual in mind.
In a book I wrote several years ago, titled "Jesus was a Jew," I quote source after source showing that the historical Jewish interpretation of Isaiah 53 is that it speaks of the Messiah, not of the nation. In fact, the first rabbi ever to interpret Isaiah 53 to speak of the nation and not of an individual was Rashi, about A.D. 1100. I might add that he was opposed in this interpretation by the majority of the rabbis of his day and they continued to oppose that interpretation for centuries after him. Historically speaking, it was not until the 1800s that the national interpretation of Isaiah 53, instead of the messianic interpretation, actually became the dominant view among the rabbis.
To interpret Isaiah 53 as speaking of Messiah is not un Jewish. In fact, if the traditional Jewish interpretation is spoken of, it would be that this passage speaks of the Messiah. Again, the first one to expound the opposite view was Rabbi Rashi who lived from 1040 to 1105. As I mentioned, this view was to go contrary to all rabbinical teaching of that day and the preceding rabbinical teaching of 1,000 years.
Today, Rashi's position has become dominant, but it is not the traditional Jewish view. When one speaks of the traditional Jewish view, it is that Isaiah 53 speaks of the Messiah, not of the nation.
III. THE TEXT OF ISAIAH 52:13 TO 53:12
Before dealing with some specific details given in the text, several things by way of introduction should be discussed.
There are four Servant passages. The first is found in Isaiah 42:1 4, which spelled out the ministry of the Servant at His First Coming.
The second passage is found in Isaiah 49:1-13 and contains three main points: first, the Servant came as described in Isaiah 42:1-4 and accomplished His mission with great difficulty because He was rejected by Israel (vv. 1-4). Secondly, because of His rejection, the Servant will now become a light to the Gentiles (vv. 5-7). Thirdly, all Israel will ultimately come to a saving knowledge of this Servant and then the final regathering and restoration of Israel will take place.
The third Servant passage is found in Isaiah 50:4-9 and deals with the sufferings of the Servant, just short of His coming death.
The fourth and most strategic passage is Isaiah 52:13-53:12 because it deals with two things: first, the reason for the sufferings of the Servant, and secondly, the death of the Servant.
One way of dividing the text is to see that verses 13-15 of chapter 52 are God's introduction to the entire section. Verses 1-9 of chapter 53 contain Israel's confession. These are future events that are viewed as having already taken place. Finally, verses 10-12 give the theology of the Suffering Servant.
For this study, the text will be divided into five basic strophes or stanzas, with the theme given in each opening line. This is followed by a summary of each strophe. The text itself should be able to help determine whether the Suffering Servant is the individual Messiah or the nation of Israel.
A. Behold, My Servant Shall Deal Wisely – Isaiah 52:13-15
Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. Like as many were astonished at you (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men), so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
In the first strophe, God is doing the speaking. He is calling the attention of all to the Suffering Servant. God declares that His Servant will act wisely, and His actions will gain Him a position of glory. God further states that His Servant will suffer, but this suffering
will eventually gain the silent attention of world rulers when they begin to understand the purpose of His suffering. Furthermore, the Servant will be terribly disfigured but will, in the end, save many.
B. Who Has Believed Our Message? – Isaiah 53:1-3
Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
The second strophe contains Israel's confession for not recognizing the Servant in His person and calling.
In verse 1, the faithful Remnant asks two questions: "Who has believed our message?" and "To whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?" The arm of Jehovah, a motif developed in previous sections of Isaiah (Is. 40:10; 51:5, 9; 52:10), is identified here as God the Son, not God the Father.
Verse 2 brings out the humanity of the Servant. They claim to be surprised at what they have just learned from the three preceding verses. They note that at the time the Servant was with them, there did not seem to be anything special about Him. His childhood and growth were no different than that of others. He was not particularly charismatic in His personality that would attract men to Him. His outward features were hardly unique.
On the contrary, verse 3 points out that the opposite was true. Instead of drawing people to Him in general, He was despised and rejected of men; He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with personal grief; He was a man acquainted with pain and disease. His rejection was not merely passive, it was active and the people did their best to avoid Him.
C. Surely He Has Born Our Griefs, and Carried Our Sorrows – Isaiah 53:4-6
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
In the third strophe, the people confess that at the time of His suffering, they considered it to be the punishment of God for His own sins. Now, however, they acknowledge that the Servant's suffering was vicarious: He suffered for the sins of the people, not for His own sins. The people confess that it was they who went astray; they each one had gone their own selfish ways, and the punishment of their sins was laid upon this Servant of Jehovah. This passage, then, is a confession of a change of attitude on the part of the people toward the Servant as they recognized the true nature of His sufferings. The severe judgment that the Servant had suffered led the people to form an opinion of Him, since His suffering seemed to mark Him as a special victim of Jehovah's anger. But now confession is made concerning the reversal of this opinion, marking the beginning of repentance.
In verse 4, those who formerly misunderstood and despised the Servant on account of His miserable condition are now better instructed. They now recognize that the Servant of Jehovah was vicariously suffering for them and took upon Himself what was actually due to them. They confess that His sufferings were of an altogether different nature than they had supposed. They are now bearing witness against themselves, lamenting their former blindness to the mediatorial and vicarious character of the deep agonies of body and soul that were involved in His suffering. The error being confessed is that they had considered His sufferings as a punishment for sins He Himself had committed.
In verse 5, the people confess that the vicarious suffering of the Servant of Jehovah resulted in reconciliation and spiritual healing. Seeing the connection between His passion and their sins, this verse penetrates more deeply into the meaning of the Servant's sufferings. The connection is twofold: first, the chastisement for our sins; His suffering was the penalty due to the people's transgression, not for His own sins. Secondly, the means of reconciliation; it was the remedy by which the people are restored to spiritual health.
In verse 6, the people confess that the necessity of the sufferings spoken of in the preceding verses was that the people were so wholly estranged from God that substitution was required for reconciliation. They had strayed and selfishly sought their way; yet Jehovah laid their sins on the Servant. Thus the people confess with penitence that they
have long-mistaken Him whom God has sent to them for their good, even when they had gone astray to their own ruin.
D. He Was Oppressed, Yet When He Was Afflicted He Opened Not His Mouth – Isaiah 53:7-9
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
In the fourth strophe, the Prophet Isaiah appears to be doing the speaking as he describes and details the sufferings of the Servant that lead to His death.
In verse 7, the Servant is pictured as humbly submitting Himself to unjust treatment. He does not speak a word in His own defense. He suffers quietly, never crying out against the injustice done to Him. All four gospel writers emphasize the fact that He suffered in silence (Mat.26:62-63; 27:12-14; Mk. 14:60-61; 15:3-5; Lk. 23:8-9; Jn. 19:10).
In verse 8, we find the death of the Servant of Jehovah. Here we are told that, after a judicial trial and judgment, He was taken away for execution. The Servant of Jehovah was being executed for the sins of the prophet's own people, the ones who deserved the judgment of
judicial execution. But no one seemed to realize the holy purpose of God in this event. Verse 8 is a key verse to the entire passage in that we learn that this was a sentence of death pronounced in a court of law and then executed. This verse clearly states that He did not
deserve death. Those for whom He was dying never realized the true reason for His death. But, as verses 4-6 have related, they assumed He was dying for His own sins.
In verse 9, the burial of the Servant is described. After His death, those who executed Him assigned a criminal's grave for Him along with other criminals. A criminal is what they considered Him to be, and that is the way He was executed. Yet He would be buried in a rich
man's tomb! This is true poetic justice since, in actuality, the Servant had done nothing wrong nor was there anything wrong in His character. The fulfillment of this is found in all four Gospels (Mat.27:57-60; Mk. 15:42-46; Lk. 23:50-54; Jn. 19:38-42).
E. Yet It Pleased Jehovah To Bruise Him; He Has Put Him To Grief – Isaiah 53:10-12
Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
The fifth strophe contains the results of the sufferings and death of the Servant of Jehovah. These results, in the end, are very beneficial.
Verse 10 records how God was pleased to allow the Servant to suffer and die. This was the means by which God was going to make the atonement for the people. The death of the Servant was an offering for the sins of the people. The ones who had gone astray and sinned would now be forgiven on the basis of the death of the Servant for, by His substitutionary death, He provided the atonement for the people. God punished the Servant instead of the people, and thus the sins of the people were atoned for. This verse further states that the Servant will see his posterity, and His days will be prolonged. How can that be if the Servant is killed? The only way this would be possible is by means of resurrection. So the pleasure of the Lord, the verse concludes, will continue to prosper in His hand, for He will live again because of His Resurrection.
Verse 11 declares that God will be satisfied with the work of the Servant. The Servant of Jehovah dies a substitutionary death for the sins of the people. The question now is, "Will God accept this substitution?" And the answer is, "Yes." For God will see the sufferings
and death of the Servant and God's justice will be satisfied. This is the meaning of the word "propitiation." Therefore, God can make the next statement: it is because of the Servant's vicarious suffering and death that the righteous Servant will justify many. To justify means to "declare righteous." So the Servant, who suffered and died and is now resurrected, will be able to make many righteous. The people who were sinners and could do nothing because of the separation from God will be able to be made righteous by the Servant. This verse concludes by telling us how this is possible: the Servant bears their sins. In other words, their sins are put on the Servant's account, and the account is considered "Paid In Full" by the Servant's blood. So to be justified in the knowledge of himself, for He will bear their sins.
Verse 12 records that the Servant will be tremendously and greatly blessed by God in the end, above all others. Four reasons are given for this. First, He willingly and voluntarily suffered and died. Secondly, He was humble enough to allow others to consider Him a sinner and to consider Him as suffering and dying for His own sins. However, thirdly, He actually bore the sin of many. For the many who are justified and made righteous are made so only because He has put their sins on His account. And fourthly, the Servant makes intercession and pleads to God on behalf of the sinners.
This, essentially, is the summary of the content of the passage. If the Servant is Israel, then the people are the Gentiles. If the Servant is the Messiah, then the people are Israel, the Jewish people. Until Rashi, all Jewish theology taught that the passage refers to the Messiah. Since the 1800s, most of rabbinical theology teaches that it refers to Israel. But if the passage is taken literally and read simply, it speaks of a single individual.
IV. CLUES TO INTERPRETATION
The text itself provides a number of clues as to which interpretation is really meant. In itself, it makes plain whether it refers to an individual Messiah or to the collective body of Israel.
A. The Consistent Usage of Pronouns
An important clue as to whom this passage refers is the consistent usage of pronouns. A distinction is maintained between my, we, us, they, them, and our as over against he, him, and his. The use of my, we, they, us, them, and our in the passage must refer to Isaiah the Prophet and the people to whom Isaiah is speaking. The use of he, him, and his must refer to the Suffering Servant. Now Isaiah was a Jew, as were also the people to whom he was speaking.
It will be good to re quote a portion of this passage to bring out the emphasis of the various pronouns in order to get a clearer understanding of the point being made. The following quotation is Isaiah 53:4-9:
Surely HE has borne OUR griefs, and carried OUR sorrows; yet WE did esteem HIM stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But HE was wounded for OUR transgressions, HE was bruised for OUR iniquities; the chastisement of OUR peace was upon HIM; and with HIS stripes WE are healed. All WE like sheep have gone astray; WE have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid on HIM the iniquity of US all. HE was oppressed, yet when HE was afflicted HE opened not HIS mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep
that before its shearers is dumb, so HE opened not HIS mouth. By oppression and judgment HE was taken away; and as for HIS generation, who among THEM considered that HE was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of MY people to whom the stroke was due? And THEY made HIS grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in HIS death; although HE had done no violence, neither was any deceit in HIS mouth.
Obviously, the MY, WE, THEY, US, THEM, and OUR are the Jews: Isaiah and the people. Isaiah is speaking to the nation of Israel, the Jewish people as a whole. He is including himself with the collective body of Israel. Isaiah represents the Suffering Servant as being in a different category: HE, HIM, and HIS. HE is the One who is suffering for US; HE is the One upon whom God is laying OUR sins; HE is the One who is going to die for OUR sins so that WE can have salvation through HIM.
The constant and consistent use of pronouns and the identification of the pronouns exclude the Suffering Servant from being interpreted as the nation of Israel. Rather, the Suffering Servant is the Messiah Himself!
B. Isaiah's View of the Servant's Death
The second clue is in the closing sentence of verse 8, which also serves to exclude Israel from being the Suffering Servant. It reads:
he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the
stroke was due?
As Isaiah the Prophet views the death of the Suffering Servant, he discloses that His death is for the sins of my people. Who are Isaiah's people? No one questions that Isaiah was a Jew. Thus, Isaiah's people must be the Jews; they must be the people of Israel as well. And if my people are Israel, they cannot also be the Suffering Servant. Hence, the Suffering Servant must refer to the individual Messiah.
C. A Single Human Personality Portrayed
A third clue lies in the fact that throughout the entire passage, the Suffering Servant is portrayed as a singular human personality. There is no hint of allegory or any clue that the Suffering Servant is to be taken allegorically as referring to Israel. The Servant goes through all the functions that an individual personality goes through. There is no personification of Israel at all in this passage. Israel is kept distinct from the Suffering Servant. The Messiah is being viewed as a future, historical person who would accomplish the prophecy of Isaiah. Israel is the people looking on while this is happening. Again, this is no personification of Israel–only the view of a future, historical person.
D. An Innocent Sufferer
The fourth clue lies in the fact that the Suffering Servant is presented in the passage as an innocent sufferer (vv. 4-6, 8b, 9b). It is easy to see how this can be true of the Messiah, but not of Israel. Moses and the prophets never told Israel, "You will suffer for being innocent." But rather, "You will suffer for your sins unless you repent and conform to the revealed will of God." God punished Israel many times and in various ways, and it was always because of sins. According to the prophets, both the Babylonian Exile and the present-day Dispersion
were results of disobedience on the part of Israel to the revealed will of God. This is in sharp contrast with the Suffering Servant, who is portrayed as an innocent sufferer.
E. A Voluntary, Willing, and Silent Sufferer
The fifth clue is the fact that the Suffering Servant is further portrayed as a voluntary, willing, and silent sufferer (v. 7). He willingly submits to the suffering He undergoes and voices no complaint as to the injustice done Him. Furthermore, as He undergoes these sufferings that lead to His death, He is silent. In Israel's history, the Jews have been
oppressed, gone into captivity, exile, and finally into present-day Dispersion. But none of these occurred on a voluntary basis on Israel's part. Israel has generally fought back. These things fell on Israel only because she was defeated and Israel was never defeated willingly. But the Messiah would be a willing sufferer. Furthermore, reading through the literature of Jewish history, it can hardly be said that Israel was a silent sufferer. Rather, during her sufferings, Israel has always cried out against the inhumanity of those who were perpetrating the sufferings on her. Israel has produced a long line of literature cataloguing her sufferings and complaints. The activities of the Jewish Defense League show that there is a violence directed against anti-Semites and a desire to see them destroyed. So this, too, rules out interpreting the Suffering Servant as the personification of Israel and again points to it as referring to the Messiah.
F. The Servant's Vicarious and Substitutionary Death
The sixth clue is that in this passage the Suffering Servant suffers a vicarious and substitutionary death (vv. 4-6, 8, 10, 12). He suffers for the sake of others, so that they need not suffer for their own sins. Nowhere in the Scriptures or in Jewish history do we ever see Israel suffering for the Gentiles. Israel often suffers because of the Gentiles, but never for the Gentiles. Israel suffers, but Israel always suffers for her own sins. There is no substitution where Israel is concerned, only where the Messiah is concerned.
G. The Servant's Justification and Spiritual Healing
The seventh clue that is given is that the sufferings of the Servant of Jehovah bring justification and spiritual healing to those who accept it (vv. 5b, 11b). The sufferings of Israel have failed to bring justification and spiritual healing to the Gentiles. After three thousand years of Jewish suffering, the Gentiles are hardly justified and are still spiritually sick, as became obvious by the way; the Gentile nations were involved in the Holocaust. But Messiah's suffering was to bring this justification and spiritual healing to Jewish lives.
H. The Death of the Servant
The eighth clue is a crucial one. The Suffering Servant dies (vv. 8, 12). The sufferings of the Servant lead to and end in death. This especially makes the personification of Israel in this passage impossible. The Jewish people are alive and well and have never been destroyed in spite of many attempts to destroy them by anti-Semites throughout the centuries. This again forces one to the conclusion that the Suffering Servant cannot be Israel personified, but rather, the individual personality of the Messiah. As for the people of Israel, they live.
I. The Resurrection of the Servant
The ninth and final clue naturally follows: the Suffering Servant is resurrected (vv. 10 11). The One who died for sins does not stay dead, but is resurrected. And we can see the results of His suffering in that He brings justification and spiritual healing to many. Since Israel
never died, there is no need for a resurrection. But if a person like the Messiah dies, God will certainly resurrect Him to life again.
This, then, is the conflict over Isaiah 53. If one simply reads the chapter as one would read any chapter of another book, no other conclusion can be reached than that Isaiah speaks of an individual person suffering for the sins of the Jewish people. And for centuries, this was the only conclusion that Judaism ever had; they labelled the Suffering Servant as the Messiah, the Son of Joseph. Later rabbinical interpretation that made the Suffering Servant the personification of Israel seemed more like an attempt to explain away rather than an
actual explanation of the passage. This chapter must be read without prejudice and taken simply for what it is saying. It must not be interpreted in any way that is only a defence against Christian polemics but only for what the content of the passage really is. The
traditional Jewish viewpoint is most in harmony with the simple statements of the text itself, speaking of the sufferings of the Messiah for the sins of Israel.✡

Paul Warwick taken on to promote application innovations at company.
Paul Warwick, new business development manager for consumables at CMYUKCMYUK, a leading UK solution specialist in super-wide digital print and the UK's long-term partner of EFI has appointed Paul Warwick as its new business development manager.
Warwick's role is to bridge any gaps in the market between media and machine, using his knowledge from across the industry to develop application-led solutions that help clients grow their businesses.
With almost 30 years' in the print and consumables industry, Warwick has worked across the entire distribution channel and Michael Crook, Commercial Director, consumables division says that this extensive experience within the wide and super wide format consumables trade were key to his appointment.
"Warwick has years of experience in the print industry, including textile and digital wall and floor coverings, which gives him a great understanding of what our customers do and how the materials in our portfolio can add value for them," said Michael.
Warwick, appointed in June 2015, says he has been visiting clients across the country to help them find the consumables they require, specifically looking at high end, high margin products that allow for innovation and forward thinking.
He said: "I've worked along the entire supply chain since I was 18 – starting with deliveries and sales for my dad's company, through roles in both consumables and hardware with manufacturers, distributors and retailing to end users – so I understand the roles of sales people at each point, and what they need from us.
"As well as identifying and sourcing the right product for a client's needs, I work alongside them to troubleshoot any issues, and can bring the manufacturer in on that testing where there is a specific development need.
"CMYUK isn't just a 'me too' company that happens to carry the standard stock for its machines – we also have stand-out ranges like the Berger Textiles, and the Utack product that we introduced six months ago has seen a huge growth in sales.


Good food, typically priced. Most tables have a good view of the savannah which is the centre piece. Without doubt get the breads starter.
3rd time we have eaten here! It has such great different flavors that aren't available anywhere else. Such great food and service every time. Get the bread service!!!!!!
We were lucky and got a window seat and giraffes were 20 yards away. Food was very good and fairly priced. It's walkable from main lodge at animal kingdom and you can also see some animals from a couple of viewing areas at the hotel.
Get quick answers from Sanaa staff and past visitors.
Can you see the animals from any table? Or can you request to be near the window?
We went at night so I honestly don't know if you could see animals from the window. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant.
Like to make a reservation for August but wondering with it being hotter whether we will get to see much of the animals? What would be a good time to book for?
It will be hot in August, but you should plan for dinner in the late evening when it is cooler and when you'll see more animals up and around. At Animal Kingdom, try to get on one of the safari rides as early in the morning as possible before it gets hot. You'll see animals anytime, but more of them will be moving around early in the day.
For the breakfast quick Service can you bring your refillable Mug?
I don't know if Sanaa is open for breakfast. The refillable mugs are only usable in restaurants that are "counter service" style. Sanaa is table service. If you're staying in the DVC, I suspect you may have to go over to the main AK Lodge to use it. But hey - I've been wrong before!

An hour and a half of classical music from the works of some of the greatest composers by Caspar Frantz at Annemarie-Shimmel-Haus
Annemarie-Shimmel-Haus hosted a piano recital at its premises last week in which Caspar Frantz played four pieces for about an hour and a half of classical music from the works of some of the greatest composers of that tradition — Bach, Mozart and Schumann.
Piano is not a very old instrument for in the eighteenth century music was created by action of hammers on strings. The most important features of the instrument were the way in which gradations of force in the fingering could produce contrast between soft and loud production of notes. In Germany, the idea was taken up by the organ builders Gottfried and Silbermann and demonstrated to Bach who was not impressed, nor was Voltaire who declared the pianoforte an ironmonger's invention compared with the harpsichord.
The earliest instruments were for some time referred to as pianoforte and the name is frequently used today to distinguish the type known to Mozart and Beethoven before the development of the more powerful models whose metal frames could stand up to the repeated hammerings against the strings. Most keyboard instruments had traditionally been made with horizontal strings as with square piano or the grand piano. Upright piano fortes were introduced by John Hawkins.
It is rare that western classical music concerts are held in this country. Even in Europe and America, it is becoming niche musical activity with the centre stage being occupied by popular musical expression, thriving on its eclectic nature and drawing in bits and pieces from a number of sources from round the world. As is the wont with classical traditions all around the world, including in the west, the major effort in this age of great media explosion is to keep and maintain the purity of sound and the peculiarity of intonation.
The Germans have made a massive contribution to the development of western classical musical tradition and a large number of great composers hail from Germany or German-speaking areas. It thus becomes their responsibility to insist on playing and creating the sounds that are very rich musically and are not overwhelmed by experimentation which has characterised all forms of art including music in the twentieth and now the early part of the twenty first century.
From the information that was circulated at the concert, the German pianist Caspar Krantz has been playing the piano from the age of seven. He completed his post graduate studies from Berlin and received further support with intense collaboration with Renate Kretschmar-Fischer. He received the first prize at the German Jugend musiziert, has held music scholarship and is a fellow of the Villa Musica and the Horst Rahe Foundation Rostok. He has performed in Germany and abroad, in major Festivals, including the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Festspiele in Schwetzingen, Ravinia Festival, Ludwigsburger Festspiele, Schwarzwald Festival, Beethovenfest in Bonn, Gstaad Festival, Septembre Musical Montreux, Festival de Pollenca, and at the IMS, Prussia Cove.
He has also appeared with orchestras such as the Kiel Philharmonic, Polish Chamber Philharmonic, Rostock Philharmonic, Stralsund Philharmonic, Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, Iasi Moldova Philharmonic and the prestigious Young Soloist Ensemble Kaleidoskop from Berlin. Along with Julian Arp and publisher Johannes CS Frank, Artistic Director of the Zeitkunst Festival for contemporary Literature and Chamber Music, Berlin he made two recordings highly acclaimed by the German and international press: first, a recording of Felix Mendelssohn 's works for cello and piano together with Julian Arp for the label Genuin, Leipiz, as well as Piano Concertos by Joseph Haydn for the Label ARS with Ensemble Kaleidoskop.
While the organ was the instrument of the church in clubs across the subcontinent, piano was used to play tunes for the purpose of dancing.
With the rise of popular theatre in the Indian subcontinent in the nineteenth century, a greater portion of music especially the background score was created by the western musical instruments. One of the instruments that had also made inroads was the piano. Due to the staccato nature of the sound that it created, it was markedly different from the organ and the harmonium which the local musicians could adapt according to their own musical taste.
Gradually with the advent of the talkie, piano started to play a more important role in orchestration of recorded music but its more significant presence was in films where playing the piano, both by the hero and heroine, was considered to be the high point of culture. In the homes of well to do Indians, piano became a regular piece of decoration or furniture, especially in the drawing rooms, even if no one in the family knew how to play it.
Girls who went to English medium schools, especially convents, were given a smattering of music lessons on the piano by the nuns and some who ventured to get college education took some lessons by a private tutor at home for acquiring it as a social grace. Before the introduction of the guitar in the latter half of the twentieth century, piano was seen as the most noticeable instrument which did not originate here.

New Delhi: After 44 guns and 117kgs of meat of wild, endangered and protected animals were unearthed from the house of a 1971 War hero and a national shooter's home, many more sleazy tales are popping out.
The police have arrested a Slovenian national and two Delhi shooters. This arms smuggling and poaching racket appears to be getting bigger. Directorate of Revenue Intelligence officials said the arrests may only be the tip of a major network of poachers and arms dealers.
Cops are hunting intensely for the main accused Prashant Bishnoi who is a national-level shooter and son of retired colonel Devendra Kumar Bishnoi who is a 1971 war veteran.
I-T department will also look into the hunting and poaching case. Many celebrities and cricketers are also under the scanner, according to the media reports.


The requirement is that a web page be sent to the browser and that a bunch of processing be done to manipulate HTML form content in the browser with no further server interaction. The data consists of rules for when to show and when to hide various form fields, as well as data to populate lists in the form conditionally on the selections from other lists. Imagine a web site where you pick the make of a car (Ford, Chevy, Toyota…) and then the next list contains only models from the selected car company (Bronco, Mustang, Corvette…). How would all of the models of all of the car companies be sent to the browser so that an extra query isn't needed for the model field each time the make selection changes?
The company that I work for uses AJAX for another "product" but this seemed impractical since generating the web page takes a lot of processing time to get and parse data from a database. Doing that parsing each time a single field changes is not at all efficient. Plus, the other "product" usually has a few large lists on a page and my forms might have a hundred.
Option 1 was to use data attributes available in HTML5 and store all of the extra stuff that way. I opted against this because I would need to convert a two-level tree structure into some form of string that I could parse on the client. I hate writing code that parses or compares strings over and over again because I was schooled in writing very efficient code back when I worked on high speed search algorithms in the biotech field. In that field, writing one extra "if" test in a loop could make a product too slow to sell. This option would have made it easy to find the data content while looking at the visible tree of form fields, which would have been a nice side-effect.
Option 3 was actually a bunch of failed ideas that never got past the first threshold of analysis. For instance, I could store XML data in an HTML5 data attribute or in one of those weird data elements that I have never used before. Or how about having a separate HTML select field for each variation of a list and then just displaying the one that has the appropriate data? That's just another way to use the DOM and would add some work to hide and disable the unwanted "select" fields.
Above is a rough estimation of what the data will look like. This is taken from a working test case that doesn't have a lot of content. But the idea of declaring the global variable and initializing it to literal objects, should be fairly clear. I manually added a lot of space and indentation to make it a little more readable in this example.

I covered Cathay's Premium Economy product in this previous post, but this one will focus on flying Premium Economy on the B777-300ER. The seats are similar yet the layout is different. After grabbing dinner in The Pier and a shower in a cabana in The Wing, I proceeded to the gate for my delayed flight to SFO from HKG.
I was seated at 32K which is the best bulkhead window seat and features a leg rest. Bulkhead seats only have a leg rest which is a bit too short unless you are under 5′ 6″ so bring a large pillow you can place it over the metal piece to make it even comfier. The seat reminds me of an angled lie flat Business Class seat which makes this an excellent alternative to the expensive Business Class. 32K is very private and you don't get the traffic that Row 30 gets due to the bathroom only being available on the H/K side of the plane. You don't get the bathroom smell as the door opens towards the front of the plane. 32K is reserved for Oneworld Emerald members to book prior to the flight. I've adjusted my flights based on the availability of 32K as it's the prime seat.
I've flown this plane, 77H configuration (First, Business, Premium Economy, Economy), on 3 different flights and only the bulkhead seats had leg rests. Cathay claims they are rolling out leg rests to all rows of Premium Economy, but don't take your chances until they are 100% done with the upgrades. I gambled on a seat in Row 31 on the 77G configuration (Business, Premium Economy, Economy) recently on HKG-SYD and I changed it at the gate to Row 30 as the gate agent confirmed only the bulkhead seats had leg rests on my plane. Row 30 A/C and H/K are the best Premium Economy seats on the 77G configuration. The seat is the same as the A330, but I do prefer flying the B777 due to the layout of restrooms on the 77H configuration planes.
We were served dinner after takeoff even though the flight departed after 1AM. I opted for the Slow cooked beef tenderloin which was a nice meal and even included red wine jus. I didn't eat much as I wanted to sleep as much as I could due to the flight time. Sleeping in these Premium Economy seats was comfy and I was able to get 6 hours of sleep. The recline is 8 inches which makes it easier to sleep. Prior to landing into SFO, we were offered breakfast and I opted for the eggs and sausage. The food on long haul flights is different between Premium Economy and Economy as the lids are labeled PEY. The food was tasty and I was ready for a full day in SFO.


Men, put your wallet in your front pockets to avoid pickpockets. It's easier to steal a wallet from your back pocket than the front pocket, especially if you are dealing with a distraction team.
Here's how to protect yourself from this scheme. When you're shopping — and this usually happens when you're buying big items such as electronics — don't go to your car and leave the packages in your trunk and then continue shopping. You need to move your car if you're in the same mall or shopping center.
When you go home, remove all your purchases from the trunk before doing anything else, including running inside to use the restroom. Pay attention to your surroundings and look for tell-tale signs such as a car or a pedestrian near your home. If someone is home ask them to come outside; if it's dark outside, make sure the porch lights are on.
When using an ATM to make withdrawals, make sure it is in a well-lit area. Once you get your money, wait until you get into your car to count the cash, with the windows up and doors locked. An added recommendation is turn on your car alarm, or have someone go with you.
Many malls and shopping areas are working with law enforcement to keep crime down. But the police cannot be everywhere.
Be safe, be alert and call the police if you see anything suspicious. Place the non-emergency phone number in your cell phone for your area so have it handy or just dial 911.

Today, I chatted with Morgan Berman while she waited to hear whether or not her company, Philly-based sustainability app MilkCrate, will win the Forbes' 30 under 30 Pressure-Cooker contest—the company was one in five chosen from all over the country to pitch their idea in a Shark Tank-like setting, with the hopes of winning a $400,000 prize. Sounds stressful, right?
Yeah. And that's why we decided to lighten the mood by asking Berman, a sustainability expert of sorts, some fun questions about sustainability in Philly, like what her number one sustainable spot in the city is, what the coolest thing she's discovered about Philly since starting MilkCrate is, and more. See what she had to say below.
1. What's the coolest sustainable practice you've found in Philly?
When I discovered what Revolution Recovery does with its RAIR program, I was really amazed: the company takes recycled materials out of their own waste stream, then artists come and work with the materials and then, eventually, they put them back into their waste stream.
The program is incredibly sustainable, and it also attracts attention to Revolution Recovery, so I think it's a really smart move as a company, and it's really inspired me when it comes to MilkCrate.
2. What's your favorite sustainable spot in the city?
I was born at 10th and Clinton, so my mom used to push me in my stroller over to Reading Terminal Market every day, and I sort of grew up in this bustling, iconic Philly place. So, if I had to pick one—which really is impossible–it would be there. I love to go back there for a quick lunch or to grab produce—something about going in there just feels like a mini vacation. And so many of the vendors are committed to sourcing sustainable goods, so it's just very connected to MilkCrate and our mission.
3. What's the coolest thing you've discovered about Philly since starting MilkCrate?
I've been biking around a lot, going from business to business, and a little while ago, I was biking down in South Philly when I came across FDR Park. I'd never been there before—there are giant lakes, and ponds and fields!
I was in NY the other weekend and I was so jealous: they have the High Line and Central Park and all this stuff, and in Philly, we don't really get that. But then, I end up stumbling upon these little spaces of green and realize, we do have so many green spaces in our city! So I'd say, discovering that has been the coolest thing. (Editor's note: MilkCrate has an entire category devoted to cataloging green spaces in Philly, in case you're ever in need of a green spot on the fly.)
4. What's your biggest pet peeve when it comes to sustainability in Philly?
Well, I get really frustrated when I see bins for composting or recycling and then I find out that they're not actually being composted or recycled, at least not properly. This happens a lot.
Also, it really bothers me how car-dependent we still are as a city. I'm encouraged by the new bike share program and I love SEPTA and I just want more resources to go toward pedestrian walkways, bike lanes and public transportation so we can get around without cars—because without access to these resources, we, as a city, are just so much less connected to each other.
5. What can users from MilkCrate expect next?
We are hopefully going to be successfully ending our Indiegogo campaign in the next two days (you can donate here), and once we have the money, we can focus on building our next version which will have much richer content.
We've been doing user surveys, and the feedback we get is like, "Well, what makes this business sustainable? I need more information!" And we want to give that to people, but we need money in order to do that. We should also have social media integration, and our own maps within the app soon. And within the next year, we have plans to expand to four other cities: Denver, San Francisco, D.C. and Asheville.

Q: Updating TableView Cell when Location Update is received I want to update my TableView when a location update is received and therefore update a distance label I show to the user. I have created a notification that will notify me of the update.
self.notificationCenter.addObserver(self, selector: "locationAvailable:", name: "LOCATION_AVAILABLE", object: nil)

func locationAvailable(notification: NSNotification) {
    let userInfo = notification.userInfo as! Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
    self.currentLocation = userInfo["location"] as! CLLocation
}

The tableView cells are filled in the data source:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cellIdentifier = "Cell"
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! AEDTableViewCell

        let aed: AED = self.aeds[indexPath.row]

        // Configure the cell
        cell.streetName.text = aed.street!
        cell.owner.text = aed.owner!
        cell.distanceLabel.text = String(format: "%.0f" + "m", calculateDistance(currentLocation: self.currentLocation, latitude: aed.latitude!, longitude: aed.longitude!))

        return cell
    }

I calculate the distance via a method calculateDistance
calculateDistance(currentLocation: self.currentLocation, latitude: aed.latitude!, longitude: aed.longitude!)

But as long as the current location is not received, there is a wrong value in my tableview.
How do I update the different cells in the tableView as soon as I receive the notification?

A: Easiest way is to just do a tableView.reloadData() in locationAvailable


Croatia, UK, USA, France, Spain, Japan, Sweden, Italy, México, Argentina, Finland to Valentina by Guido Crepax for an exhibition to this iconic character to promote Fantagraphics Books Inc. upcoming Crepax book collection". Here is my first approach – a bit more bodylicious Valentina, with crazy peacock feathers. AND – OMG – it landed in a noble company (Sienkiewicz, Koeb, Farby, Pratt, Canalez, Mack and many more, also – great Polish artists like Wojtek Stefaniec…I'm intimidated. Thx Manuel Espirito Santo for the invite!

Is it a plane? No, it's a hoverbike
Friday, August 22, 2014 - 02:40
UK-based Malloy Aeronautics is preparing to test a manned quadcopter capable of out-manouvering a helicopter and presenting a new paradigm for aerial vehicles. A 1/3-sized scale model is already gaining popularity with drone enthusiasts around the world, with the full-sized manned model expected to take flight in the near future. Matthew Stock reports.
Deep in the English countryside, aeronautical engineers are perfecting a new generation of aerial drone. With increased stability and manoeuvrability, and able to carry a much heavier payload, it represents a significant leap forward in drone technology. This small drone, however, is just the 1/3rd proof-of-concept model for something much more ambitious. A full-sized quad-copter hoverbike that can be piloted by a person as well as flown by remote. It's the brain-child of engineer and helicopter pilot Chris Malloy, who first tested his concept with this bi-copter design. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) CHRIS MALLOY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MALLOY AERONAUTICS LTD AND ORIGINAL DESIGNER OF THE MALLOY HOVERBIKE, SAYING: "I've always been one to look at designs and see how I can make them better. And when I got my helicopter license I realised that the helicopter as a design has a lot of improvements that need to be made, and one of them is safety and reliability. They're very complex machines. And my goal was to see where we could strip away the complexity and increase the safety and that's basically where the hoverbike came from." Engineers at Malloy Aeronautics are currently completing construction of the final prototype, with flight tests expected in a few months. The team first plan to launch the hoverbike as an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle, before securing aviation certification for the manned model. Meanwhile, the smaller model has proved popular with drone enthusiasts around the world and is contributing revenue towards the design and production of the full-sized version. Marketing director Grant Stapleton explains that the manned hoverbike is designed to be flown like a helicopter and as such will be subject to the same stringent testing before a human can take to the skies. (SOUNDBITE) (English) GRANT STAPLETON, DIRECTOR, MARKETING AND SALES FOR MALLOY AERONAUTICS LTD, SAYING: "This hoverbike is a helicopter. It takes off like a helicopter, it flies and lands like a helicopter. It's designed to fly to an altitude of over 9,000ft and do so at over 100 knots. It's much safer to be away from the ground where there isn't anything to hit in the air, and that's why it is designed as a helicopter." That issue of safety is one area where the team says the hoverbike has a clear advantage over the helicopter. (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) CHRIS MALLOY, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MALLOY AERONAUTICS LTD AND ORIGINAL DESIGNER OF THE MALLOY HOVERBIKE, SAYING: "Rotor-strike is a major issue with helicopters this here eliminates rotor-strike by protecting the propeller blades from the ground and other airborne obstacles. The helicopter is inherently complex, the hover bike is very simple. So, from a complexity issue the hoverbike is safer. And it's built to be robust and flown in environments that a typical helicopter would have trouble with." While Malloy's vision of manned hoverbikes may be years away from reality, the advances in drone technology that the team is making means that ambition is nearly within his grasp.
