Q: Progress View and background loading my code is loading 7 pics from url and adding their data to an array. in the end of the process I do get an 8 objects array, but I'm trying to show a progress bar until the process of loading all the photos finished.
I do not have an idea how to do that...
here is the code
-(void)SetUpDrinks
{
    loadingView.hidden=NO;
    [loadingView_activity startAnimating];
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0), ^{
        [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible=YES;
        imgsDATA = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        for (int i=0; i<8; i++) {
            imageDownloadNum++;
            absPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://domain/app/menu/drinks/%i.png",imageDownloadNum];
            trimmedAbsPath = [absPath stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
            NSURL *imgURL = [NSURL URLWithString:trimmedAbsPath];
            NSLog(@"%@",imgURL);
            imgDATA = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:imgURL];
            [imgsDATA addObject:imgDATA];
        }

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            loadingView.hidden=YES;
            [loadingView_activity stopAnimating];
            [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible=NO;
            [self RefreshImg];
        });

    });

}

A: You could make an NSOperation subclass to download your image and then use a dispatch_group. Dispatch groups are a way to block a thread until one or more tasks finish executing - in this scenario we are waiting for all of your downloads to finish.
You can now use the progressBlock to update the UI and let the user know how many of the images have finished downloading.
If you want progress for an individual download then take a look at the NSURLConnection reference. In particular - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
- (void)enqueueGroupOfOperations:(NSArray *)operations
                        progress:(void (^)(NSUInteger completedCount, NSUInteger totalOperations))progressBlock
                      completion:(void (^)(NSArray *operations))completionBlock;
{

  NSParameterAssert(operations);
  NSParameterAssert(progress);
  NSParameterAssert(completion);

  __block dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
  NSBlockOperation *dependentOperation = [NSBlockOperation blockOperationWithBlock:^{
      dispatch_group_notify(group, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
          completion(operations);
      });
      dispatch_release(group);
  }];

  for (NSOperation *operation in operations) {

      operation.completionBlock = ^{
          dispatch_group_async(group, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

              NSUInteger count = [[operations indexesOfObjectsPassingTest:^BOOL(NSOperation *operation, NSUInteger idx,  BOOL *stop) {
                  return [operation isFinished];
              }] count];

              progress(count, [operations count]);

              dispatch_group_leave(group);
          });
      };

      dispatch_group_enter(group);
      [dependentOperation addDependency:operation];
  }

  [self.operationQueue addOperations:operations waitUntilFinished:NO];
  [self.operationQueue addOperation:dependentOperation];
}

Construction is set for a major labour upheaval when plans to stamp out agency self-employment come into force on 6 April.
Details of the Government's plan to target employment agencies and temporary workers have been highlighted in the just published draft Finance Bill.
Leading accountants estimate the new legislation will affect around 200,000 construction workers operating as self-employed through agencies.
Mark Collins, Baker Tilly's National Head of the Employer Consulting Group, said: "These new rules are likely to affect hundreds of thousands of temps and other self-employed workers using employment agencies and will have a disproportionate effect on the construction sector.
The PAYE and NI rules currently accept that a self-employed worker finding work through an agency is still self-employed and should be taxed as such.
But in the new tax year, if the worker personally carries out the work, or is involved in the provision of the services, payments will have to be payrolled, so the worker will have tax and employee NICs deducted at source.
The agency will also become liable for employer NICs.
This means a worker's own NI cost will then be 3% higher than the 9% paid as a self-employed person, and the employing agency has a completely new liability at 13.8%.
The proposed government legislation will remove a clause often included in contracts between an employment agency and a worker.
This clause allows the worker to send someone else to do their job, something which in reality the government believes does not happen. Under existing legislation such a clause allows a worker to be classed as self employed.
It is this legal loophole that the Government argues is disguising employment as self-employment.


A deck doesn't just increase the quality of your family's outdoor life – it's also an attractive addition to your home that can help add to its resale value in the future. But before you get ahead of yourself, there's one question you need to ask, says John Esteves of Downtown Lumber Home Building Centre: "What are you going to be using your deck and backyard for?" Is it going to be for entertaining? Or are you just hanging out?
Figuring out what you'll actually use your deck for – whether it's dining and entertaining, relaxing or occasional lounging – will help you determine how large your deck should be, and what it should feature.
Also consider your existing outdoor elements, whether it's a pool, a stunning view or a robust garden, and plan your deck accordingly. Ideally, you should also consider your backyard's landscape – or how you might want to landscape it after you've built your deck. If your backyard lacks trees or other natural shade, consider a pergola or trellising to provide some protection from the sun.
If you like to cook and eat outside, the first thing you should do is figure out how many people (on average) will be dining on a daily basis, says Esteves. And if you frequently entertain guests, consider how many more people you might regularly accommodate for.
If your budget allows and you know you'll use it, an outdoor kitchen with a granite countertop is both stunning and handy. If an entire kitchen is a little too much for right now, you can still cook outdoors with an appropriately-sized barbecue for your grilling needs.
Smaller barbecues have given way in the past few years to larger grills with features such as rotisseries, warm-up areas and built-in drawers. Of course, a larger barbecue costs more than a smaller one – but if you're constantly cooking outside all summer long, it can work out to be a worthy investment.
If you'd just like to lounge and take it easy on your deck, you'll need to incorporate a bigger area, Esteves advises. When you have seating, it requires a larger deck because you're going to need bigger chairs. Similarly, outdoor couches and lounge chairs are increasingly popular – and they require more real estate. If you want to add an outdoor fire pit, that will also increase your deck's area.
If relaxation is your goal, then landscaping can make an important contribution here. There are several different kinds of bushes and trees you can plant to accent your deck (and provide shade, too).
How big should your deck be? That's all a matter of your perspective and your property. Those who live in urban areas may not have a lot of backyard to begin with; others with more land can afford to let their deck spread out farther. A simple way to determine the rough coordinates of your deck is by laying out rope to figure out what size and shape it could potentially be. Remember that landscaping with a brick or stone walkway can help bridge the gap between backyard and deck, too.
Before you begin, check with your municipality to see if you'll require a building permit. Some communities don't require a building permit if your deck is less than 100 sq. ft.; others require a permit if your deck is over 10 feet above ground level. Always check with your local building department first so you don't end up paying a fine in addition to your building costs.
In Esteves' experience, the most common material used to build a deck is still pressure-treated lumber. "It's economical, it's easy to work with and it can be stained any colour you like." It's also eco-friendly and pretty much the best value for your dollar, he says.
Lastly, there are your composite woods: virtually maintenance-free, durable, insect-free and eco-friendly. However, you'll still need to have a wood frame as composite materials are strictly for deckboards and railings. "Some people feel that if they're spending the money for cedar, then they might as well spend a bit more to go for the composite and not have to worry about maintenance," Esteves adds.
But if you're not so confident in your DIY skills, then consider consulting with professionals such as the Installation Experts at Home Installs Installation Services. They can offer complete services that include landscaping as well as building decks and fences.
A Home Installs professional has seen dozens (if not hundreds) of decks and backyards with varying degrees of slope, size and elevation. They can provide some vision and ideas while also incorporating the concepts you have for your deck. And what's more, they can help keep your plans within the realm of possibility and your budget.
At the end of the day, it's ultimately about what you want your deck to do for you and your family. As long as you truthfully assess your needs and wants, you should be able to determine the right deck for your home. Now all you have to do is build it!

Daniel Craig Reveals Love For Tom Ford
Business, Model, Products, Quotes
At his recent cover shoot for the American edition of GQ, Bond actor Daniel Craig revealed his love for Tom Ford's tailoring.
"Unlike some guys we shoot, Craig is passionate – and rather knowledgeable – about clothes; particularly suits," GQ style editor Adam Rapoport says.
"He pretty much only wears bespoke these days, especially after suiting up in all those custom-made Brioni numbers in Casino Royale. Recently he's been big into Tom Ford's line. He arrived at the shoot with a just-finished, never-worn Tom Ford custom suit, one that would probably run the average guy, what, $7,500? Anyway, our fashion department, meanwhile, showed up with an entire rack of beautiful suits for him to try on. Which he did, but ultimately, he felt none of them fit as nicely as his TF. And so he said, 'Thank you very much, but I'll stick with my suit'."

Drug searches arrive at SHS.
Dorchester District 2 (DD2) has instituted measures to make sure that no contraband items are on campus, and soon they will have canine units search for these illicit items.
Continuing this week, police officers with dogs will be randomly coming into classrooms to sniff for and find contraband that students potentially have. This is because DD2 wants to cut down on contraband on school campuses, so they instituted these measures to make sure illegal items are not on campus.
"These drug searches are a good idea because when you think about it it's the only way to check for contraband, " said Jeniya Brown, a freshman student.
"Yes, they are effective because they are random and people aren't prepared or they don't expect them to search," stated Eliza Blackwell, also a freshman.
Opinions on the searches are not all positive, however.
Drug searches like these mainly attempt to prevent potentially illegal trades; they also strive to stop students from using drugs that can be dangerous to them, the people around them, and jeopardize their future.
When these searches happen, the dogs do not directly come into contact with the students, and the students will be temporarily taken out of the classroom for the duration of the search. While some believe that the searches will disrupt students' focus on lessons, individual classroom searches take only about 5-15 minutes. Entire sectional searches may take about an hour, which puts the section on a soft lockdown. During a soft lockdown, teachers continue with their lessons, but students are not allowed out in the halls for a period of time.
However, the school will not have the searches happen all at once; only small sections of the school are searched at a time. This cuts down on how many students lose learning time during the searches.
With these searches, the district is going to try their best to make sure that there will not be any more contraband on school campuses.

Blast from past: '96 Jets (1-15) say current team 'shouldn't be this bad' – New York Jets Blog- ESPN – ESPN
The coach chatted up friends on his cell phone during practice. Sometimes, he coached from the adjacent parking lot, sitting on the hood of his car as he smoked a cigar and entertained visitors.
The quarterback realized a few games into his massive free-agent deal that he had made a horrible mistake — and that was before he ripped a calf muscle while slipping on the team logo in pregame warm-ups.
A few players, capitalizing on the anything-goes environment, sometimes skipped film-watching and treatment on their off day and flew to the Dominican Republic for a 24-hour getaway.
The 1996 New York Jets were a trip, all right. With the NFL's highest payroll, they were called the "Worst Team Money Could Buy" — a 1-15 laughingstock. Nearly a quarter-century later, they're known in Jets annals as the worst team. Period.

More NFL coverage »
But maybe not for long.
The current Jets, 0-6 and getting blown out on a weekly basis, are gaining quickly with historically inept performances. The football is so bad that members of the '96 Jets, who experienced the darkest side of the sport, are horrified and frustrated by what has become of their franchise.
"I want the Jets to be my pallbearer when I die so they can let me down one last time," linebacker Marvin Jones said.
"I put a lot on the coach," ex-safety Victor Green said of Adam Gase. "We got this coach because he's supposed to be a guru. We haven't seen that in two years."
"I don't know Sam Darnold personally, but I can just tell by watching him, watching the sideline … I'm not saying he's not a leader, but I think they need better leadership," said former cornerback Ray Mickens, who is in favor of the Jets picking Clemson Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence if they secure the top pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
"It shouldn't be this bad," former Jets defensive end Marvin Washington said. "I understand this is an unusual season [because of the pandemic], but it's an unusual season for other teams, too, that are thriving and adjusting to it and overcoming it."
The Jets' scoring differential is minus-110 points, nearly twice as bad as the next-worst margin (Jacksonville Jaguars, minus-56). At their current pace, they would eclipse the "record" for a 16-game season, held by the 1981 Baltimore Colts (minus-274).
Maybe they should be called the "GT Jets," because they've done so much garbage time. Only once in six games have they been within 10 points in the fourth quarter, somehow managing to hold a lead for three minutes, 20 seconds — a cadaveric spasm, perhaps.
The Jets' distant cousins from '96 found creative ways to lose, but at least they were competitive in some games — seven losses by seven points or less. Somehow, they managed to finish 11th in total offense, but they lost their will late in the year, got blown out in a bunch of games and finished with a minus-175 point differential — the worst in franchise history for a 16-game season.

"It's pro sports, so everybody is for themselves a little bit and it becomes even more so when you lose," former Jets tackle Jumbo Elliott said. "It's like, 'Hooray for me, screw you!'"
Elliott won a Super Bowl ring with the New York Giants, but he left that structured environment to accept a lucrative free-agent deal with the rebuilding Jets. They also signed quarterback Neil O'Donnell, who had just won an AFC championship with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They brought along his offensive coordinator, the well-respected Ron Erhardt, and used the first pick in the 1996 draft on wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson.
Oh, yeah, the Jets were serious. Watch out!
Then the season started, and bad things started happening. Elliott tore his hamstring, missed the first two games and thought to himself, "What am I doing here? What was I thinking?"
O'Donnell had similar thoughts. Chasing the money, he left one of the premier "culture" destinations in the NFL, thinking he could help turn the Jets into Steelers East. He injured his shoulder in Week 6, missed six games and, on the day of his return, the Jetsiest thing ever happened. Warming up on a damp field, he slipped on the Jets' logo in one of the end zones. The pain in his calf was so sharp that he felt as if he had been shot.
"There was so much paint on the letters," O'Donnell recalled. "I dropped back and I said to Wayne [Chrebet], 'I think I just blew out my calf muscle or my Achilles.' … I said, 'Dude, I'm not kidding. Somehow, get me over to that tunnel, I got to get out of here.'"
Elliott remembers walking into the trainers' room the next day and seeing O'Donnell and other players studying his MRI scan — one of the most surreal scenes of his 14-year career.

Others expressed frustration over the lack of talent. The only player on the current roster with Pro Bowl experience is Frank Gore, the Jets' 37-year-old running back.
"Where are your Pro Bowl players?" Green asked rhetorically. "That should tell you a lot right there. They had about $100 million [in cap dollars] to spend and they get nobody?"
In interviews with eight members of the '96 team, the prevailing criticism was the need for a culture change. General manager Joe Douglas said his goal is to create "the best culture in sports," but that hasn't materialized. The most recent example was a dust-up between Gase and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, whose veiled jab at the offense upset people at One Jets Drive.
It takes more than talent to win in the NFL. The '96 team was proof of that. It had a 1,200-yard rusher (Adrian Murrell), five future Pro Bowlers (Johnson, Richie Anderson, Mo Lewis, Aaron Glenn and Hugh Douglas), three future Super Bowl champions (Johnson, Washington and Bobby Hamilton), a future Jets Ring-of-Honor member (Chrebet) and a future NFL head coach (Frank Reich).
And it still stunk.
"It's tough, man. I don't wish that upon anybody," Chrebet said. "We didn't quite have the right combination of players and coaches that were aligned."
Near the end of that season, rumors began to circulate the Jets were planning to hire Bill Parcells. Suddenly, Elliott, who played under Parcells with the Giants, became a popular guy in the locker room. Curious and concerned teammates picked his brain, wanting to know what to expect from the larger-than-life coach.
Mike Greenberg is not a fan of Jets coach Adam Gase, going as far as to say he wouldn't want him coaching a Pop Warner team.
"They had a gazillion questions," Elliott said. "I told them, 'Fellas, a lot of you aren't going to be here anymore. Things are going to change big-time in this building.'"
And they did.
Two years later, the Jets reached the AFC Championship Game with many of the same players who had endured the indignity of 1-15. Those players, now in their 40s, feel a sense of redemption, knowing they were there for the turnaround. Still, when the current Jets team sinks to all-time lows, the '96ers always get phone calls from reporters looking for them to compare then and now.
"I wish they would turn this thing around," said Washington, who would later win a Super Bowl ring with the Denver Broncos. "I would rather it be us over them. Guys in our 40s and 50s, we can handle that. I don't want these guys to go through that. Psychologically, it's a B word. Mentally, it's a B word. Physically, it's a B word. But I don't want them to go through it just so we could say, 'We're the second-worst team in franchise history.'
"I'm fine with being the worst team because if we're going to have that discussion, let's talk about the Pro Bowls and Super Bowls that came later for some guys. I just hope [the current team] can win games and this can be something they can redeem themselves from. I hope they have long careers and win Super Bowls, and look back at this and see it as an aberration."

Donna Dell Robinson
NORFOLK -- Service for Donna Dell Robinson, 82, of Norfolk will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, February 6, 2021 at the Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk. Burial will be held at the Prospect Hill Cemetery, Norfolk. Visitation will be 4:00-8:00 p.m., Friday, also at the Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk. Donna passed away from a heart attack on Friday, January 29, 2021 at the Faith Regional Hospital in Norfolk. The funeral service will be live-streamed on the Stonacek Funeral Chapel Facebook page. Masks are required for both the visitation and funeral service. Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk is in charge of the arrangements. Donna Dell (Hinken) Robinson was born on January 30, 1938 in Norfolk, NE to Richard J. and Adele S. (Girardin) Hinken. She worked with her family on the farm and enjoyed raising animals, riding horses, and doing chores. She was a mere 14 years old when she independently drove her first semi-truck. She rode her horse Patches to the rural country school near Norfolk and graduated from Norfolk High School in 1956. She married Eldon L. Robinson in 1958 and the couple lived in Iowa for 3 years. They later moved to a farm near Randolph in 1961 and lived there for 25 years raising their 6 children. She was a very active farm wife who was involved in all aspects and operations of farm life. Donna then moved to Norfolk in 1990. Donna worked for Jerry's Hilltop from the late 1970's into the early 1990's. Those she worked with have many fond and fun memories of her time there that they still talk about today. Donna later worked for her brothers at Hinken Truck Line, the family company, starting in 1985. In 1987 she also started working for the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASDA). She enjoyed her work so much that she worked her way up to a supervisory position and held that for many years. Talking with the farmers was the highlight of her day. She was so dedicated to completing her assignments that more than once she crawled on the tractor with the farmer in the field to gather the information needed. Those she worked with for over 30 years at NASDA, become like a second family to her. She was currently still working at both jobs. Retirement was not a word in her vocabulary. Through her life she was involved in many organizations and clubs. She was active as a 4-H Leader for both the A&E Girls 4-H Club and the Allen Eastern Livestock Club as well as the 4-H Extension Board. Church activities included Sunday School Teacher, Couples Club and Luther League Sponsor at St John's in Randolph. Eldon and Donna logged many miles attending Pork Producer meetings at the local, state and national level. Donna was a founding member of the Nebraska Porkettes. She also enjoyed the Neighborhood Kountry Klub Extension meetings. As a parent of 6 kids, she was involved in numerous school activities throughout the years, including chaperoning many events, having as much fun as the kids did. In later years, she was a member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. Donna loved meeting new people and welcoming everyone into her home. She never met a stranger. Mom loved being surrounded by family, as her family was her life. Her big, beautiful smile, kind heart, and generous spirit will never be forgotten. Her laughter was so genuine and heartfelt that it was contagious to everyone around her. When she laughed, you couldn't help but laugh with her, a quality that will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. She loved big gatherings, she loved small gatherings, she loved one-on-ones, she just loved being around family. Her DDR license plate was seen traveling many miles, many highways and country roads, many places throughout a few states. You just never knew where that darn DDR plate would show up. Slowing down was just not in her nature, not something she ever considered. Mom was especially loved by her children. Grandma was loved by her grandchildren. Great-Grandma / Nana was loved by her great grandchildren. She was absolutely the best mom ever. Survived by her children; Deborah and Richard Olson of Randolph, NE, Shelly and Ted Fuchs of Ellis, KS, Joni Robinson and Jerome Thomas of Las Vegas, NV, Lori Watts of Lincoln, NE, Corby and Salle Robinson of Randolph, NE.
