How much is "enough" for retirement is a very personal question – it varies greatly from one person or family to another. Here are just a few of the things you ought to consider when trying to determine how much is enough for you to save for retirement.
This will probably be a balance between how healthy you are, how much you enjoy (or dislike) your job and how much you have saved.
For many people, this will be tied to the amount they expect to receive from Social Security, since you can choose to receive 'early' social security payments at a reduced amount, standard social security payments at your official full Social Security retirement age or late Social Security payments at a higher amount.
How will you cover medical expenses?
Beginning at age 65, you may qualify for Medicare. But it isn't free. You'll still likely need some additional coverage for prescriptions. You'll also still have copays, so you'll need a way to cover those expenses. Texas Financial & Retirement points out that it's estimated a typical couple retiring at 65 in 2017 would need $275,000 for medical expenses alone over the years of their retirement. That amount is only going to increase for those retiring in future years.
What will your housing expenses be after you retire?
Will you live in your own house? If so, you'll need money for insurance, maintenance expenses, utilities and property taxes and, of course, your mortgage payment if the house isn't fully paid off before you retire.
Will you rent an apartment or townhome? How stable will the rental costs be over the remaining years of your life? Will you also need to pay for utilities separately? Will there be any HOA fees?
How do you wish to live during retirement?
Do you expect to travel? If so, will it be overseas flights and upscale resort hotels? Or will it be overnight driving trips to nearby cities and standard motels? Or something in-between?
Do you have hobbies? How much will you need to be able to pursue them?
Do you expect to reside in an area with higher- or lower-than-average cost of living? The amount you'll need will vary according to where you live.
How much can you afford to save for your retirement?
Nearly everyone would be delighted to have multiple millions of dollars set aside for their retirement years. However, not everyone can afford to save enough to reach that goal. You may not make enough while working to be able to save millions for retirement. Or maybe you earn enough but began saving too late to reach that goal.
Be realistic. Base the amount you save on how much you earn (if you earn more, you can afford to save a larger percentage, etc.). Adjust the savings percentage as your current financial situation changes – hopefully increasing over time.
The more you save now, whatever your age, the more you will have for your retirement years. But you also need to live now. You still need food, shelter, clothing and the ability to do some of what you enjoy in the present.
What other income do you expect to have during retirement?
Most pensions and similar retirement plans are gone, though some still exist. Do you expect to have income from such a plan?
For most Americans, Social Security is the only 'other income' they expect to have to supplement what they spend from their personal savings and retirement plans (401Ks, IRAs, etc.) after they retire.
But the amount you can expect to receive from Social Security varies quite a bit. It depends upon how much you've earned (and therefore contributed to Social Security) during your working years, the age at which you begin receiving payments and the total of other Social Security payments made to the same household (i.e. if your spouse or any dependents in your household also worked enough to qualify for Social Security).
You can create (or login to) your personal account with Social Security at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ . That will provide you with up-to-date estimates of how much you can expect to receive as your personal benefits at various retirement ages.
These are only a few of the things you need to consider. Financial professionals like those at Texas Financial & Retirement can help you make good decisions based on your personal answers to these and other questions.


The Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP) tested a way of making fruits and vegetables more affordable for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Under HIP, SNAP participants received a financial incentive for purchasing fruits and vegetables. The HIP evaluation used a random assignment research design. Specifically, 7,500 Hampden County SNAP households were randomly selected to participate in HIP, while the remaining 47,595 households continued to receive SNAP benefits as usual. The final evaluation report presents findings on the impacts of HIP on fruit and vegetable consumption and spending, the processes involved in implementation and operating HIP, impacts on stakeholders, and the costs associated with the pilot.

Boris Volodarsky was trained as an officer in the GRU Spetsnaz, the Soviet military's intelligence arm. When I met him while on book research in London in 2007, he was writing The KGB's Poison Factory, his own book on Moscow's fascination with murder-by-poison. With his encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of the KGB and its history, he is finishing a new book called The Orlov KGB File. I asked whether Volodarsky would reply to a few questions about last week's arrest of 10 Russian "illegals," sleeper agents planted without diplomatic cover, in the United States. His answers after the jump:
What would you say is most misunderstood about the illegals indicted in the U.S.?
Boris Volodarsky was trained as an officer in the GRU Spetsnaz, the Soviet military's intelligence arm. When I met him while on book research in London in 2007, he was writing The KGB's Poison Factory, his own book on Moscow's fascination with murder-by-poison. With his encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of the KGB and its history, he is finishing a new book called The Orlov KGB File. I asked whether Volodarsky would reply to a few questions about last week's arrest of 10 Russian "illegals," sleeper agents planted without diplomatic cover, in the United States. His answers after the jump:
As most people, including some journalists who write long articles commenting on the arrests, have no knowledge of the Russian intelligence tradecraft or the intelligence history in general, the activities of the members of this group seem a bizarre collection of strange actions looking like a bad movie about the Russkies. But many things shown even in bad movies are unfortunately true: Yes, the Russians like to wear fur hats, drink vodka, eat caviar, take pretty girls to the sauna. And, apart from some modern innovations like ad hoc networks, burst transmissions and steganography, the old proven tradecraft is pretty much the same. It is good and it normally works well (except in cases, when somebody is already being shadowed – then nothing works). The public and writers alike do not really realise that this is NOT a film — a very large group of very experienced FBI agents and watchers spent a very considerable sum of taxpayers' money and plenty of time to uncover a REAL group of the Russian undercover operators who brazenly operated in the United States, as they had been absolutely sure that no one would ever catch them because their education, training, intelligence tradition, and the belief that the wealth of the country behind them is much superior than the FBI. They forgot that the FBI of 2010 is much different from the Bureau of the 1950s. All 11 accused (with Christopher Metsos — without doubt a Directorate S officer — missing) are trained professionals whose task was to penetrate American society. It is the first time that such a large group of illegals has been uncovered. Normally, there have been one or a maximum of two, while I have on record a great number of documented illegal operations in the U.S. for at least the last 80 years. It must be added that very few of them like Fisher/Abel and Molody/Lonsdale were successful. But we probably know only about 50 percent of the operations that were mounted and the people deployed.
Is it possible that this is simply a rogue operation by someone in Moscow who, as some commentators have suggested, misunderstand what type of information is openly available? In other words, are illegals a relic, or is there real continuing value to be gained by illegals today?
No way it is a rogue operation. It took a lot of time, effort and money, and all was done by the book. It is always done this way. Again, I can list several dozen examples when, after training, the Soviet illegals were sent first to Europe, then almost always to Canada, and then relocated to the U.S.
Concerning the information. First of all, the illegals are not here to collect intelligence. Their role is to control important agents already recruited in the government structures, those who have access to secret information (CIA, FBI, other intelligence services, military, scientists, R&D people, IT specialists, etc), or they may exert influence (on journalists or politicians). The Russian foreign intelligence service (SVR) has ALL information that is available from open sources. This has always been the case, but it is never enough. What Russian intelligence in striving to get is secret information (political, economic, industrial, military, etc) and have a chance to influence decision-making and public opinion in favor of Russia. This is why agents are recruited or penetrated into sensitive or politically important targets.
The role of illegals is threefold: to act as cut-outs between important sources and the Center (directly or via the SVR station); to serve as talent-spotters finding potential candidates for further intelligence cultivation and possible recruitment (a rather long and complex process, where the illegals only act at its early stage); and to establish the right contacts that would allow other intelligence operators (members of the SVR station) or the Center (visiting intelligence officers under different covers, journalists, diplomats or scientists tasked by the SVR) to get intelligence information and/or receive favors that the Center is interested in. The illegals also have a number of technical tasks like renting accommodations that could be used as safe houses, finding places for dead drops, planning hit operations like assassinations that are also carried out by illegals (but from a different department of the same directorate). They also collect sample documents that could be used in other covert operations and update Moscow about some standard proceedings (buying a house, getting a job, registering a company, and so on).
The illegals are no relic, they have been always used full scale. The last known case was in Canada when 'Paul William Hampel' was arrested in the middle of the Alexander Litvinenko case (November 2006). As I seek to prove in The KGB Poison Factory, the Litvinenko operation itself was the work of a Russian illegal. Certainly, the illegals are used in other countries with difficult counterintelligence environments like Britain, for example, but rarely in "soft" countries like Austria or Finland.
Illegals could be used for corporate and commercial penetration as much as government or military penetration, correct?
As mentioned above, very seldom, as this is normally not their task. But in many cases their children, born American citizens, are prepared for penetrations. In this group only Mikhail Semenko seems to have made attempts to penetrate sensitive institutions by trying to get a job there (the American Foreign Policy Council, for example). But in one case, a Soviet illegal served as the Costa Rican ambassador to Italy. His detailed story is in The Orlov KGB File, my next book. In principle, corporate and commercial penetration by the illegals is possible — in the 1960s "Rudi Herrmann" was tasked to penetrate the Hudson Institute.
Illegals could also be present in other nations, just like in the Cold War?
Certainly, and other nationals, not only the Russians, can be used. There are many examples, especially with East Germans.
What is your sense of why they were arrested at this time?
Two obvious reasons: first of all, Anna Kuschenko-Chapman sensed that she was dealing with an undercover FBI agent, and called her controller from the Russian UN mission; second, 'Richard Murphy' was going to leave for Moscow on Sunday with, some believe, important intelligence.
The Obama administration is on "reset" with Russia. President Medvedev had just left the U.S. Is there a discordant note here?
Not at all. The Security Service works according to the operational situation disregarding what's going on in the White House and what the President thinks about it.
Anna Chapman has attracted the most public attention of all the accused. Is she a serious spy?
Everything shows that Anna Vasilievna Kuschenko started to collaborate with the SVR shortly after she finished secondary school at the age of 16 in 1998 and before she entered the university. Her father is a KGB-SVR officer, possibly from Line N (illegal support), so this would be a normal thing. After a year, she enrolled in a course at the People's Friendship University of Moscow, which is the alma mater of many Soviet and Russian intelligence officers and agents. During her second year, in 2001, she went to London (extremely unusual) and quickly picked up a naïve young Englishman in a disco. She took him to bed on their second meeting, and by his and another account of her use of sex toys seems to have been specifically trained in the art of love. She told him how much she loved him, burst into tears when leaving for Moscow and quickly arranged an invitation, so he came and they were married in March 2002 without the usual formalities.
After getting settled in London (still being a full-time student in Moscow), she worked in several places for a short time and on small jobs, serving as a personal assistant in a hedge fund, and as a secretary in a private jet company. She dumped her husband after three years, having moved in with a young French playboy who took her to expensive private clubs in London, where she got the right contacts. He also advised her to open an Internet real estate company. In 2004, she miraculously graduated from the university (without studying there and still living in London), returned to Moscow in 2007, opened such an Internet company there, then opened a similar company in New York in February 2010, using $1 million she received from a Kremlin-backed investment fund. Almost immediately she started to send reports to her New York controller using her laptop. It is a big and interesting story worth writing much more.

I've never understood how AV+ is better than AMS in any meaningful way that would outweigh the confusion. (Constituency to list ratios and list area sizes aren't a specific feature.) In London there are real problems with combining preferential and proportional elections and there's real risk AV+ would lead to all manner of bizarre vote splits and confusions.
Whilst I don't doubt that there'll be some teething problems with the overhaul of and/or addition of new elements to an electoral system, I think the bulk of these problems can be ironed out by simply ensuring that plenty of information on how the new system(s) work is provided to the public. In the long run, this should be a minor issue at worst.

I presume the reason why London and Scotland have this double vote system is to avoid the distortions of tactical voting etc at constituency level. To a large extent using AV at constituency level would avoid that and you would simply allocate the list seats based on the first preference votes at constituency level. (which to be honest I would have done anyway in Scotland and London, although I guess the Greens would not like it...)
But like I say, AMS is probably the only proportional system that has a chance of being adopted since it already works pretty well in many places, and keeps the mystical constituency link... The regional version in Scotland is a good thing..., although less proportional
Post by timrollpickering on Dec 16, 2016 11:41:25 GMT
I think London and Wales were given AMS simply for consistency with the system Labour and the Lib Dems had agreed for Scotland in the belief it would make it impossible for the SNP to win (how many are now cursing that?). To an extent it really reflects the institutional widespread attitude in Labour that devolution was about smashing the nats and securing their power base.
(Northern Ireland got STV instead but that system had a long history there and IIRC was finally decided in the talks themselves.)
Post by The Bishop on Dec 16, 2016 12:45:05 GMT
I think it is fair to say both the LibDems and Nats were rather keener on AMS than an internally divided Labour in both cases.
(the Tories were opposed, of course)

I'd prefer the Swiss system: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Council_%28Switzerland%29#Electoral_system - with, for the most part, Ceremonial Counties as electoral districts.
'Revoke' will prove to be the shortest suicide note in history.
Locally the last two council elections have both seen three ballot papers on one day - single cross, multiple crosses in a single column and multiple crosses in multiple columns. Despite good publicity campaigns we've still had bucketloads of spoils.
And election system change campaigners cry out at the suggestion that change could lead to increased costs so would we actually get this nationally? Or would we instead see loads of parties taking advantage of the confusion about how many votes people have (hello "second vote" parties)?

What an utterly bizarre unfounded statement.

It is neither of those things from my point of view. Both produce a high volume of electoral events in terms of both elections and plebiscites (though not the latter at the national level in the case of the USA, obviously) without any discernible quality of outcomes to match the sheer quantity.
The shifts in the Swiss party landscape are at least somewhat interesting, if largely inconsequential federally. The two-party system in the States doesn't even have that going for it.
Dec 23, 2016 18:21:11 GMT Foggy said:
I take your point re rather pointless plebiscites (caused by ridiculously low signature thresholds - you only need 50,000 to force a referendum on a new federal law), but I was merely talking about the electoral system for elections to the National Council. These only take place once every 4 years (fixed terms), and you don't necessarily have to couple such a system with referenda year in, year out.
The Swiss electoral system offers proportional representation, constituencies based on strong historical regional identities, and a strong personality factor comparable to FPTP as people cast their votes for individual candidates, and seats are allocated 1) proportionally according to party strength and 2) based on votes cast for individual candidates.
If we're taking Cornwall as an example, the Cornwall constituency would have 5 seats. Most parties will therefore put up 5 candidates. Now let's say the Tories get 2 seats, the LDs 2, and Labour 1, then the Labour candidate and the 2 Tory/LD candidates receiving most individual votes will get elected, regardless of their party list position.
I can't think of a better system.
Last Edit: Dec 23, 2016 22:31:22 GMT by mrpastelito
I can. The variant of AMS used just across the border in BaWü has all the advantages you describe without all the cumulative voting and open list rubbish.

Post by neilm on Dec 23, 2016 23:09:50 GMT
You prefer closed to open lists?
We'll have to agree to disagree then - I for one think open lists are a great thing, and the BaWü system has serious flaws. I don't like the idea of Uberhang and Ausgleichsmandate anyway, and Regierungsbezirke with a high number of Uberhang and Ausgleichsmandate get more seats compared to other Regierungsbezirke which seems highly unfair. With all Cornish seats currently held by the Tories, we'd then get something like 3 Uberhang seats for the LDs and another for Labour and UKIP. That way we'd end up with a 1100 seat HoC.
Dec 23, 2016 23:09:50 GMT neilm said:
Essentially, yes, though I prefer no lists at all over both variants.
Yeah, we'll have to disagree about overhang and extra compensatory seats, although I do think adding proportional seats at Regierungsbezirk level for a Landtag election is a tad unnecessary.
Obviously under AMS there'd only be 3 FPTP constituencies in Cornwall, so probably 7 seats overall for that county, only 1 more than at present in a chamber with 650 MPs.
A 1,100-member Commons would almost be acceptable in terms of cost if the Lords were massively reduced in size, but that's another matter, and I still wouldn't advocate that the lower house should ever get that bloated.
You'd have more AMS seats than FPTP constituency ones? That's interesting. Personally I'm not that bothered by a constituency link, although I favour preserving it in some form.

I don't claim to be knowledgeable about the Swiss system, but surely there are plenty of lessons about democracy to take from the USA. The fact that every single one of those lessons can be summarised in the phrase "don't do it like the Americans do" doesn't mean they aren't valid lessons to learn.

The Enigma of Arrival


Discussion in 'iMac' started by Joesgirl97, Nov 20, 2013.
*waving hello* Hi there Mac Rumor Guru's!
I've been a member for years and lurk quite often but am coming out of lurkdom to ask for some help.
I'm going from a Mac Mini that I bought about 8 years ago. Quite the upgrade as you can see. I'm hoping this one will last another 8-10 years.
We are light users. Kids will do school reports. Husband is just now discovering Guitar Band, my teenagers like to play with iMovie and I edit my iPhone pics in iPhoto. That's the extent of our use so I'm hoping I picked the right specs.
What I'm coming to you for is some guidance on what external hard drive to purchase. I need to get my mini transferred over to 'big mamma' if you will when she arrives. And from what I gather Time Machine will take care of this?
So if you can steer me to the right external hard drive and forgive my ignorance but just thinking here, if I back up to Time Machine (which I have NO IDEA how to do. ) will it put Lion instead of Maverick on Big Mamma?
Time Machine will back up whichever OS that's installed in your Mac.
If money's not a problem, go for a Thunderbolt drive like the Buffalo HD-PA1.0TU3 Thunderbolt drive. It's around US$220 in my country for 1TB.
I just set up my new iMac, very simple. You don't need to worry about the initial setup program putting older OS files on your new iMac, it knows not to do that. Just use the initial setup program and follow instructions. You won't need to make a Time Machine backup of your old mini, just connect your mini to your iMac with an Ethernet cable. It will not put on any of the old mini system files , only your apps and data.
If you want to do the time machine method, look for an external drive that says Mac compatible and you will be safe. If you are buying a drive for your new iMac get one with a thunderbolt connection, if it is for your old mini it will have to have USB port also.
You can always call Apple Care and they will walk you through the setup.
You're computer won't be that noticeably faster because of the 5400 rpm drive. You're missing out on a lot of potential, an SSD or Fusion Drive over the ram upgrade would have been better. Change the order.
That 5400 RPM will be THE KILLER. Fusion Drive would be amazing if you had the money, easily the best price/performance thing you can do.
When you grab that external hard drive, you can use it with your iMac for extra storage.
Change it to an SSD instead which is better than Fusion Drive and get a cheaper (and upgradeable) external drive for your media (movies/music/documents/images/etc) files.


Today I am back with another recipe that is so easy and delicious too. This week as a part of our Foodie Monday challenge we have to share a recipe with just 3 ingredients.As i was wondering what to make ,my boys asked me to bake a cake. Cake with just 3 ingredients? Yes …you have heard it right. You can bake a yummy cake with just 3 ingredients.I have happy with the result and before i could take the pics of the slices the cake was just wiped off. Thankfully i had take pics of the whole cake. But my boys were super duper happy with the outcome and they wan me to bake again.

Ariel means "altar" or "lion of God" in Hebrew. Other spellings include Ari'el, Arael, and Ariael. Ariel is known as the angel of nature.
As with all archangels, Ariel is sometimes depicted in male form; she is, however, more often seen as female. She oversees the protection and healing of animals and plants, as well as the care of the Earth's elements (such as water, wind, and fire). She punishes those who harm God's creation. In some interpretations, Ariel is also a liaison between the human and the elemental world of sprites, faeries, mystical crystals, and other manifestations of magic.
In art, Ariel is often depicted with a globe representing the Earth, or with elements of nature (such as water, fire, or rocks), to symbolize Ariel's role caring for God's creation on Earth. Ariel appears sometimes in male form and other times in the female form. She is often shown in pale pink or rainbow colors.
In the Bible, Ariel's name is used to refer to the holy city of Jerusalem in Isaiah 29, but the passage itself doesn't refer to Archangel Ariel. The Jewish apocryphal text the Wisdom of Solomon describes Ariel as an angel who punishes demons. The Christian Gnostic text Pistis Sophia also says that Ariel works punishing the wicked. Later texts describe Ariel's role caring for nature, including the "Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels" (published in the 1600s), which calls Ariel "Earth's great lord."
Ariel serves as the patron angel of wild animals. Some Christians consider Ariel to be the patron saint of new beginnings.
People sometimes ask for Ariel's help to take good care of the environment and God's creatures (including both wild animals and pets) and to provide healing that they need, according to God's will (Ariel works with the archangel Raphael when healing). Ariel can also help you to forge a stronger connection with the natural or elemental world.
To call upon Ariel, you need only request her guidance for goals that are within her realm. For example, you might ask her "please help me to heal this animal," or "please help me to better understand the beauty of the natural world." You can also burn an archangel candle dedicated to Ariel; such candles are typically pale pink or rainbow colored.

Office of general agent.
The general agent at the beginning of the year, being unable to secure transportation from Sitka to the schools of western Alaska on the U. S. S. Thetis, that was making the trip, requested permission of the U. S. Commissioner of Education to proceed to San Francisco and take passage by the steamers of the Alaska Commercial Company. Permission not being granted, I have been unable to carry out the instructions of the honorable the Secretary of the Interior to visit all the schools at least once a year.
Indeed, for the want of transportation I have been unable to visit the schools of southwestern Alaska since I established them in 1836, and those on Bering Sea not at all. This has been greatly regretted both by myself and the teachers.
Also for want of transportation I have been unable to visit the schools at Howkan and Klawack, on Prince of Wales Island.
The schools at Sitka, Juneau, Wrangell, Douglass, Haines, and Killisnoo have been visited several times, and that of Metlakahtla twice.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I have the honor to submit the following recommendations:
1. An inspection of the schools of western Alaska by the general agent.--In view of the fact that I have been unable to reach those schools for three years, and as the time has come for establishing new schools in that region, some of which have already been recommended by the Territorial board of education, and as it is probable that a Government vessel will be sent nextsummer to that section to convey Government officials, therefore it is recommended that the U. S. Commissioner of Education be respectfully requested to arrange for the transportation of the general agent.
2. Change in supervision.-In order that the general agent may for the next two or three years give the larger part of his time to developing the school work in Western Alaska, I would recommend the following change in section 4, division 2, of the rules and regulations for the conduct of education in Alaska, to wit: First, that the general agent be relieved for the coming year from the local superintendency of the Sitka district, and be given the local superintendency of the Kodiak and Unalaska districts. Second, that a district superintendent be appointed for the Sitka district.
3. Permanent school fund. I would again renew my recommendations of 1886-87 and 1887-88, wiich recommendations were also indorsed by the Territorial board of education, that the U. S. Commissioner of Education be respectfully requested to procure legislation from Congress permanently appropriating a sum of money for the education of the children of Alaska without distinction of race.
The present method of supporting the schools of Alaska by an annual appropriation from Congress is very unsatisfactory. As Congress one year voted $25,000 and the second nothing and the third $15,000, it can readily be seen that neither the school board nor the teachers can arrange for the schools until after Congressional action has been taken, nor until such action is had can they be sure that there will be any schools. And not only that, but some years the action of Congress is not known in Alaska until three months after the fiscal school year commences. A failure on the part of Congress any one year to make the necessary appropriation would close the schools, scatter Government property, and throw the teachers out of employment thousands of miles away from home and friends.
The disadvantages of the present system need but to be stated to be seen.
In the Western States and Territories the general land laws of the country provide that sections 16 and 36 in each township be set apart for the use of the schools in said States and Territories. In some of the States this has been a munificent endowment.
But Alaska has no townships and no surveyed lands and no law by which they can be surveyed. And when in course of time the general land laws are extended over it, the nature of the country and the peculiar climate and the requirements of the population will prevent to any great extent the laying out of the land in sections of a mile square. Thus while no school fund is practicable for years to come from the lands, the General Government derives a regular revenue from the seal islands and other sources, a portion of which could be used in the place of the proceeds of the sale of school lands.
4. An obligatory attendance lau. --The operation of the obligatory attendance law wbich was enacted by the Territorial board of education and approved by the honorable the Secretary of the Interior in 1887, has been recently suspended by order of the United States Commissioner of Education.
In view of the importance of some suitable law for securing the more regular attendance at school of the children of Alaska, the Territorial board of education at its semiannual meeting June 14-19 took the following action:
"Whereas it is the invariable experience of all who have been engaged or interested for years in the difficult task of attempting to educate and civilize the natives and creoles of Alaska that the greatest obstacles to success are, first, the want of adequate means of securing the regular and general attendance of the children of these people at the various Government schools and, second, the stolid indifference, superstition, and fear of change on the part of the greater number of the parents of such children;. and
"Whereas experience has also demonstrated that wherever native policemen have been employed and paid heretofore a moderate compensation for gathering these children into the schoolrooms and thus compelling attendance, not only is the average attendance itself largely increased, but au interest in the progress of the pupils and the success of the schools themselves has been gradually and permanently created in those native and creole parents; and
"Whereas, the Government of the United States is annually appropriating large sams of money for the purpose of educating and civilizing these people and employing competent and zealous teachers for that purpose, who are making great sacrifices by enduring severe privations, geceral discomfort, and personal isolation among an alien and barbarous race of people: Therefore,
Be it resolved by the Territorial board of cducation, That the IIon. Lyman E. Knapp, the governor of the District of Alaska, is hereby requested and urged to embody in his forthcoming annual report to the Department of the Interior the suggestions we havo made herein, with the recommendation that Congress take the subject of compulsory education of the natives and creoles of Alaska into consideration, and, in addition to making the usual appropriations for the schools of the District, add thereto such enactments as will compel the regular attendance of the pupils at such schools as are already established or may be hercaster provided."
I renew my recommendations of former reports on this subject.
5. School police.-With the granting of an obligatory attendance law, and even without it, the appointment of a native policeman in the native villages where schools exist, whose duty shall be to see that the children are in school, will greatly increase the present attendauce.
I therefore recommend that an allowance of ten or fifteen dollars per month be allowed from the school fund for the employment of such men.
6. I recommend that the honorable the Secretary of the Interior be respectfully requested to ask Congress for an appropriation of $75,000 for education in Alaska for the year ending June 30, 1891.
7. In 1887-88 the Territorial board of education recommended to the United States

The PC is born
Lisa, MAC & NeXT
The role of the computer specialist in creating both software and hardware is obvious. Without the technically skillful there would be no computing products for us to use. But what about the marketing side of the product? It isn't enough to know how to design novel electronics, you also have to recognize the need to package the whole concept into a form that people will want to buy and use. Without this additional skill the personal computer would still be the un-boxed printed circuit board littered with wires and extra bits that made and kept it the preserve of the hobbyist for the first few years of its life. Many credit Apple, and in particular its co-founder Steve Jobs with the role of turning the rough and ready electronics into the consumer product of the 80's and 90's. Moving into the 21st century it was Steve Jobs who pioneered the iPhone putting undreamed-of computing power into a pocket device.
Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
Steve Jobs is a strange character and perhaps a difficult character to understand in today's culture. He was born into the California of the mid fifties and was exposed to the revolution in thought, tastes and freedoms of the 60s. From today's perspective it seems nothing more that quaint nostalgia to talk of flower power, counter culture, tripping out and dropping acid, but at the time it all seemed very serious and very threatening to the the `establishment'.
California was a focus of a great deal of this revolutionary energy but Steve lived in Silicon Valley and had a slightly different view of it all. It was the time of `garage startups'. There was a lot of money to be made from electronics and all you needed was skill and the desire to work hard. The role model was Hewlett and Packard who had teamed up to build high quality electronics in a garage. The myth of the lone `wirehead' working late nights to build some impossible machine in the basement or garage was to persist to the end of the twentieth century.
In this environment it was inevitable that Steve should become interested in electronics. But he never really managed to get into the formal theory of what was going on. He fitted the mould of the bright but impatient student who was always in too much of a hurry to do the ground work - the boring bits. He also believed that he knew everything that there was to know about electronics - until he met Woz.
The Two Steves
Steve Wozniak was older but he was a natural designer. He not only knew the theory but had the extra special skill of being able to simplify circuits by using components in clever ways and by making one component do double duty.
This sort of skill is rare and the only other obvious and well known example is Clive Sinclair in the UK. Woz could hold a circuit design in his head and minimize it in a way that would make other designers admire the result. Steve and Woz became friends - although `friends' is a gross over simplification for the complex interaction between the two Steves.
In the early 70's the hot topics were sex, drugs, Vietnam and phone phreaking. By sending the right audio tones you could gain control of the long distance trunk lines and make international calls for free. The `phone phreak' was a counter culture hero, part of the `power to the people' ethic and a technologically hip one at that. Steve and Woz were drawn to it like a magnet. Woz designed an amazingly neat digital `blue-box' to generate the necessary tones - and Steve decided they could make money selling it. The clandestine sales operation of the illegal `blue-boxes' went well and perhaps planted the seed in Steve's mind that electronics could be fun and profitable.
A "blue" box
Indian influence
Although Steve Jobs was well able to understand and participate in the `wire-head' culture he also pursued more mainstream interests. The best way to describe him is as a `hippy' - although there were many different varieties of the species. Steve was particularly into Zen and alternative religions, food fads, fasting, smoking pot and taking acid. He didn't wash and went around barefoot most of the time.
He applied for a job with Atari - and got one! This is a good indicator of how strange a company Atari was at the time but the saga of Nolan Bushnell is another, interesting, story. It is said that Woz gave him a prototype Pong game he had constructed and he took it to Atari to show off and they thought he had built it and offered him a job. One condition of his employment was that he would only come into work at night.
Steve saved enough money to make the, then fashionable, journey to India. Atari wanted someone to sort out earthing problems in Germany and so they sent Steve. He then took an onward flight to India. The reason for going to India was to seek spiritual enlightenment from the many gurus.
The experience was intense and disturbing but Steve found none of the answers he was searching for. In 1974 Steve, back from India and still working the night shift for Atari, got back in touch with Woz. Still interested in the spiritual he toyed with primal therapy and eventually made his way to Zen via the Zen master Kobun Chino (Chino would later become the official `roshi' of Next.)

A Cautionary Tale?
No question the narrative of James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room is a tragedy; David falls victim to the cruel hands of time, heartbreak, and isolation as a result of his preservation of his pride and his performance in the Male Prison/Panopticon. On his troubling journey toward self-realization, David has a major hand in the psychological and emotional damaging of both Giovanni and Hella. I found the conclusion of Giovanni's Room to be incredibly powerful, and I felt that the work could be read as a cautionary tale of sorts.
I would hope that the text is not misconstrued as a denunciation of Americans' willing exploration of their true identities, or their breaking from their social performance under the surveillance of the panopticon. I don't think that Baldwin is suggesting that American's should live in blissful ignorance lest they die by their own curiosities (a sentiment that Hella would fully endorse, given her "Americans should never come to Europe" monologue). I do, however, think that Baldwin is warning us a slower, but much more final death. Giovanni's Room, to me, serves as a cautionary tale against one's reversion into social comfort, ignorance, and complacency at the expense of one's truth.
The slow destruction of each of David's close relationships speaks to this slow death about which Baldwin warns us. When David decides to throw himself into her to escape his feelings toward Giovanni (though I do believe that David did also really love Hella), he leaves a vital part of himself to die. David reverts into the comfort of his performance in the panopticon, smothering the side of himself that he found in his life with Giovanni so that he might buy more time for the side of him that stays with Hella. But both sides die, all the same in the end. David is left all alone, the love of his life dead and the woman he loved broken and gone. Baldwin warns us of the silent danger social performance in the panopticon…seems no matter what, we die in jail.

False Imprisonment of Black Males
In section 2 of "Go Tell It on the Mountain," Baldwin writes about the false accusation and suicide of John's father, Richard. In my opinion, the writing of Richard's imprisonment and death are very rushed. I feel that there are many missing details that Baldwin failes to provide. We quickly go from Johns arrest, to his trial, and to his suicide, with barely any time to process it all. I believe this was strategic. False accusations of black men have been a common occurrence throughout history, and these stories are often overlooked. Many truths are unknown and the ones that are known often lack detail. I believe Baldwin rushes through Richard's story to mimic the way these types of stories are ignored in real life. These false accusations are often seen as just things that happened, and not things that highly impact lives. Baldwin allows us to see the impacts that are often ignored and see the lack of attention given to these problems.
In the book, Richard gets arrested for "robbing a white man's store" (Baldwin 163). When he states that he was not there, the storekeeper replies, "You black bastard…you're all the same" (Baldwin 166). Richard is eventually found inncoent, yet commits suicide after being released. The storyline of Richard's arrest and death is common and has repeated itself throughout history.
For one, I see parallelism between Richard's story and the Trenton 6. In 1948, six black boys are falsely charged for the robbing and killing of a white storekeeper. The only description given of the men is that they were black males. Apparently, that was enough information to arrest 20 black males and charge 6 with the crime. Even with alibis, all were convicted and sentenced to death. However, with push back, four were acquitted and 2 were held guilty. Collis English, one of the ones sentenced to prison, dies of a heart attack at age 27.
In both instances, a white man is robbed and black men are falsely accused of it. In addition, all these men are arrested with no evidence even though they claim that they were not present. The action of categorizing black men, and automatically declaring them guilty is also heavy in both instances. Lastly, English dies in prison and so does Richard. English dies in a physical prison, while Richard dies in a prison of the mind. Overall, the impact false imprisonment has on the lives of black males is large and it needs to change. I believe this is what Baldwin wants to get across.

Q: How can I stop the code from executing the next line after RunWorkerAsync until it finishes? My VB.NET (WPF) application has drop-down lists with names of states and their cities. I use a loop to iterate through a selected state and its cities and I perform some functions regarding the cities. I check N number of webpages for every city in the loop and populate a Datagrid with some results using a BackGroundWorker.
However, since I am using a backgroundworker in the loop, it is executed and sent to the background and the code keeps moving forward. I need the code to wait until backgroundworker (RunWorkerAsync) is finished to move onto the next line. It works perfectly when I use it for one city, but when I use it in a loop for a list of cities, it just keeps executing the next lines after backgroundworker and the loop keeps going on.
I have researched this before and the only option that the solutions gave me was to introduce a RunWorkerCompleted in the code. That would mean that I will have to split my code in two parts and place the stuff I want to be executed afterward in the RunWorkerCompleted. Would that work in a loop? Here's some PseudoCode:
For i as integer = 0 to cityCount

Dim city as string = cbCity.SelectedValue.ToString()
worker.RunWorkerAsync
worker.RunWorkerCompleted
cbCity.SelectedIndex += 1

Next

Here's the thing. Wouldn't the above PseudoCode run the worker.RunWorkerCompleted while worker.RunWorkerAsync is still running? Will it wait for worker.RunWorkerAsync to be completed and finished and then execute worker.RunWorkerCompleted? I am using BackgroundWorker to fill the UI without freezing it and the city variable is being updated in every iteration and used inside RunWorkerAsync. So, essentially, I am trying to execute worker.RunWorkerAsync completely and then move onto the next line and continue the loop.
I am sorry if my language doesn't make sense. I have researched about this and tried several methods, and I am here because none of them worked. I can't share the complete code due to some copyrights issues, but I will be happy to provide more information.

A: RunWorkerCompleted is called automatically when RunWorkerAsync has finished (please see the BackgroundWorker Class documentation).
The loop should be in the BGW, along with the code you want to run at the end of each iteration.

(Note that the BackgroundWorker.ReportProgress Method can take an Object as its second parameter, so if you make a suitable Class to pass, you can send anything you want to the ProgressChanged handler.)

A: I don't know whether this can be your alternative or not:
'Iteration Sub
Private Sub MyStatus()
    'Here your code iteration
    For i As Integer = 1 To 10000
        BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(CInt(100 * i / 10000))
        If BackgroundWorker1.CancellationPending = True Then Exit For
    Next
End Sub

'For begin and stop Async
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    BackgroundWorker1.CancelAsync()
    Try
        BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
    Catch ex As Exception
    End Try
End Sub

'To Call the iteration
Private Sub bw1_DoWork(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
    MyStatus()
End Sub

'To Monitor the progress
Private Sub bw1_ProgressChanged(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged
    Me.ProgressBar1.Value = e.ProgressPercentage
End Sub

'If any information need to indicate that the iteration is complete
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted
End Sub

God of Cooking – Chapter 57: Travelling, cooking and business (3)
Posted on July 21, 2016 by bsubak — 8 Comments ↓
Honestly, he didn't feel particularly attached to korean cuisine. And he had many reasons. The food his mother made wasn't delicious, and there weren't any good restaurants near his house. But it would be different if he ate in a luxurious korean cuisine restaurant.
Now that he looked, the korean meals he could try were all salty, sweet or spicy. What suited his tastes was the miyeokguk or bibimbap he made in the past mission. He also liked not season plain white kimchi.
Modern people followed stimulation. And Korea wasn't exempted from that. It was hard to search for a restaurant that didn't write a msg, and even if they didn't, they had to use provocative ingredients to compensate for that lack. There were stores that attained success through a plain and simple flavor like Pyongyang naengmyeon (평양냉면), but how many people that weren't epicureans thought that it was delicious?
With that meaning, kimbap was a wonderful dish. The seasoning wasn't excessive and the flavor was simple. But even so, people liked it and if you didn't put in weird ingredients in it, anyone could make it to be delicious. And that's why. That's why Jo Minjoon could recommend kimbap to his teammates. But of course, what they were thinking about was norimaki.
But with the point that they immediately thought of norimaki like that, Jo Minjoon could get a certain amount of assurement in this item. Because when he actually ate kimbap before participating in Grand Chef, was in a sushi store he saw by coincidence.
When he got in the restaurant wanting to eat sushi, he got surprised at the place full of customers. And he was also surprised that rather than normal sushi, kimbap sushi and norimaki were occupying almost all of the place of the displaying stand. He had known that white people didn't like laver that much, but asians didn't even number half of the half of the customers.
He could say that sushi, and the variety of it, norimaki had already succeeded in the world.
That's why he felt his heart getting lighter while making kimbap in front of his teammates. It didn't matter what you put in the kimbap. Because everyone agreed with norimaki. And the given concept seemed to have been decided.
What he gave them was normal korean kimbap. Cucumber, pickled radish, eggs, carrot, ham and burdock root. He used canned ham for the ham, but it wasn't really a problem. Because it didn't mean that he would present the dish just like that, but it was to teach them the characteristics of korean kimbap. Anderson chewed a few times and frowned.
"This, what oil you said was applied?"
"Sesame oil."
"The aroma of the oil is too strong. I think that it would be better to put in less or to use another oil. I like the point that there's no vinegar or kelp water in it. Because only the fresh flavor of the rice remains, I get the feeling that it suits well with the other ingredients. But I think that we have to prioritize not making the rice smell bad."
"Doesn't the laver smell bad?"
"I wouldn't know if I ate it alone, but if I eat it with rice it's good. I don't smell fish that much. I'm just speaking objectively. There's nothing to point out about the combination of the ingredients it contains. At least, it felt good inside my mouth."
At Anderson's words, Jo Minjoon barely took breath again. Seaweed wasn't that familiar to westerners, but norimaki was a success. And the reason of that was because the vinegar and kelp water that was in the rice, caught the bad smell of the laver. He started to worry because in korean kimbap, there was no vinegar or kelp water to catch the bad smell.
"Could it be because of the sesame oil?"
"I don't know. I will have to compare later. Why don't you try it yourself if you have an absolute sense of taste?"
"……Well, originally it's difficult to know about your own dish."
"There's not much in absolute taste."
Anderson smirked. Joanne looked at the separately made kimbaps and opened her mouth.
"What were the ingredients for these? Karaage, hamburger, sea urchin's eggs, tuna, fried shrimp with avocado, smoked salmon, vegetables and assorted eggs, and…….I ate the else. What were they? I think that there were more kinds. Ah, Minjoon. Your that….. It's so hard because there are a lot. Anyways, that korean norimaki too."
"The one with tandoori chicken, pork barbecue, and the normal kimbap I just made. And korean norimaki……. We can just write in the menu as korean norimaki. First, we should mix sesame oil with olive oil, or just use olive oil. And I think that it would be good to serve in thin slices, just like you ate before."
"Let's not do that and instead let's slice norimaki in a 1 inch size, and leave aside normal norimaki the size of a finger. How about it? I thought that the slices you cut were really comfortable to eat. I think that it would also vary depending on the person."
"That's fine. But I think that it would be good to prepare the 1 inch sizes beforehand. I think that people will mostly prefer that. Because they are accustomed to it."
As he talked like that and ate the avocado and smoked tuna kimbap, he felt the oily flavor of the avocado, the salty tuna, and aside of that the aroma of chili. It was a spicy flavor that felt good. He felt the tip of his nose get chilly and he he opened his eyes while frowning like a person who had eaten something acid.
It was delicious. The cooking score was 6, but it couldn't be helped. Because he had put in smoked tuna, avocado and chile and just rolled it. Perhaps, getting a 6 was really an outstanding thing.
"Who made this?"
The one who had replied was Anderson. Jo Minjoon opened his eyes really big as if he was surprised.
"It's really delicious. First, the salmon got smoked so softly."
"Of course. Who made it?"
"It wasn't tasty for me."
Peter said bluntly. Anderson's eyes became sharper. Peter hurriedly shook his hands and said.
"It's not that your cooking was strange. I just keep feeling the flavor of the laver in the tip of my tongue. Is this a must? I think that it shouldn't be a problem for the laver to be there."
"…….Mmm. There's something similar. It's called rice sandwich. But do you not like it that much?"
"It's just that i'm unfamiliar to it. I think that there would be few customers like me, so wouldn't it be better to put in a few dishes in the menu with no laver in it? That rice sandwich you said for example."
Peter's words were quite appropriate. It was at that moment when Jo Minjoon tried to seriously think about his proposal. Anderson shook his head and said.
"There's no restaurant that satisfies all of your demands. If not, would they be selling beef? Indians don't eat it. And even more so in a small place like a food truck. You just have to sell what you have to. And if it wasn't a moving transport, but a restaurant, your words would be correct. Because if there are people that say that they just can't tolerate laver, they would just leave. But this is a food truck. There's no need to concern yourself."
Anderson's words seemed quite right. Joanne opened her mouth admiring him.
"You thought of all of that in this short while? Aren't you rather intelligent?"
"I grew in a chef's house. This much is common knowledge. And it's also true that I am intelligent."
"…….And just like intelligent people, you all seem to suck."
At Joanne's words, Anderson snorted a hmph and said.
"Even so there are really few people that haven't tried norimaki in the world. I think that it would be better to write as norimaki sushi rather than norimaki. Because there are quite a few people that first eat if it says that it's sushi."
"Those are some convincing words."
Joanne opened her mouth. She raised her handphone and showed the community she was doing.
"If we announce that we are going somewhere, shouldn't viewers come like a flock? And if we also say that Minjoon is the team leader and also that the norimaki is the main menu, many people will come to find us. Because norimaki made by an asian team leader and norimaki made by a westerner is a different nuance. And Minjoon also has a lot of fans."
"……..I have a lot of fans? It's a first listening to that."
Joanne laughed and said with her mouth shape. 'Kaya'. Jo Minjoon let out a sigh and changed topics.
"…….I did hear that they were going to publicize in Grand Chef's main page."
"The first day we will certainly be able to sell everything out. But the problem is after that. As more bad comments are posted, less customers will come."
"What if there are people that post ill comments without even having eaten it?"
"They won't disappear by worrying. Let it be."
Anderson replied with a cold voice. Looking at him, Jo Minjoon got the feeling that he was really from a chef's house. Perhaps, he would have already experienced the problems they were facing right now. Through his parents, he would have suffered just as much as he has shared happy times.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"……..I picked you well, right?"
Anderson snorted.
"It would be the best decision you made in your life."
Grand Chef's house was located in Illinois, Chicago. The rent car company was also located inside of Chicago. However, during that time they couldn't properly feel Chicago's air. And they were sloppily eating their first Chicago's meal.
Chicago pepperoni pizza. There was so much tomato and pepperoni you couldn't differentiate from each other that it was dyeing the pizza red, and on top of the finger sized dough, there were a lot of toppings in it. Jo Minjoon was slowly slicing the pizza in pieces so thick it was hard to put it in his mouth. The flavor of the cheese was strong, but the sticky and thick dough covered that flavor. It was a rather harmonious dish. However Anderson frowned.
"It's good that there's a lot, but you have to be able to eat it. Can they give you something you can't even fit in your mouth?"
"Why? It doesn't matter much if you slice it."
"Real pizza is eaten with your hands."
In these aspects Anderson was really picky and rather intimate. Ivanna asked while chewing the pizza.
"Minjoon, what score is the pizza?"
"……..Can you stop asking me the score? I'm not scoring the food, but the cooking process."
"So wouldn't that be able to evaluate the food itself?"
"That's relative. It's difficult for an objective evaluation. So i'm feeling how complex was the flavor made, and how well it was cooked."
"…….So what score is it?"
In conclusion they wanted him to tell the score. Jo Minjoon replied after gulping the pizza in his mouth.
"7 points. The dough was really well done. Just like the place that sells the best in this town."
"Hmm. I thought it would be an 8."
"Just like I told you, the flavor isn't a 7. Because you don't have to only cook in a high level to make a high level food. The norimaki we are making right now is just like that. Compared to the normal cooking method, the flavor is quite stable."
And that was the biggest reason he proposed making norimaki. And at the same time, the reason why his teammates accepted it so well. You could make a wide varieties of menus simply and at the same time the combination of laver and rice gave them a sense of secureness.
But the biggest advantage was that it had all the points a food truck required. Variability, cost and capital. The ingredients to make norimaki didn't even cost 1 dollar. However, the normal price was around 2 to 3 dollars. And also, taking into account the small size and that you could store it in the truck, the expectation towards it was quite high.
The time was almost past 9. Jo Minjoon opened his mouth.
"Let's eat quickly and prepare. We need to at least open at 11:30."
Norimaki wasn't a snack but a meal. If they missed lunch time, the repercussions could be as big. Jo Minjoon stood first from the place and checked at his handphone. There were a lot of comments about Grand Chef's food truck in the internet. It seemed to have attracted the attention of at least a thousand, or even ten thousands of people. Of course, there wouldn't be that much who lived in Chicago among them.
The breed of the rice was koshihikari. Compared to korean rice, koshihikari wasn't much better. Chinese rice wasn't bad to use in making kimbap or norimaki.
He didn't put other rices. He didn't know how healthy was mixing other rices, but the flavor was totally disgusting. Especially if he was going to use it for norimaki, there was nothing else to say. People who come to the food truck look for flavor, not the well being.
The iron pot was a 150 people use. One line of norimaki used up three spoons of rice. So sufficient amount they could make was at least 300 lines. Also if the rice was cooked in 20 or 30 minutes, he didn't have to be that burdened about rice as he had thought.
After Jo Minjoon put the rice, he checked the ingredients and etc. They were all fresh. His other teammates also stood up from the place and started to do their share of work. Peter too, was taking out the tandoori chickens he was storing in the fridge.
It wasn't a method where they made their own menus. They got in charge of one menu each, and when they were free they had to move according to the situation. What Jo Minjoon grabbed first was the hamburger. It was a recipe he had proposed, as a korean norimaki that seemed like kimbap. The first time he came to New York, the flavor of the hamburger steak he tried in Lucas's house was still fresh. That strong aroma, and the texture and pepper he felt through his teeth. It had the most american flavor from all the things he tried.
But of course, it was difficult to imitate that. If he had to roll it in kimbap, he had to slice it thinly. And because of that, Jo Minjoon focused more on flavor than texture. When the exterior of the hamburger got yellow, he boiled it down in soy sauce, mirin, and lemon. Actually, it was a really popular japanese cooking method.
The atmosphere in the kitchen was basically calm. Rather than the teammates were calm, Jo Minjoon was like that. He didn't like to raise his voice without any reason. If he had something to say, he said in a voice that could be heard sufficiently, and even if he was in an urgent situation, he didn't yell.
Was it because of that? Time passed really quickly. Soon, it was past 11 o'clock, and the fryers and frying pans were all stopped. What they were doing seemed to be it all. Rolling the norimaki kimbap. And they had to cool it for a moment. Although in Korea, eating kimbap cold or hot didn't matter much, norimaki was a food that was basically eaten cold.
"Anderson. Check the situation of the tea."
"After rolling this."
There were three kinds of teas. Ginger tea, green tea and lemon tea. Anderson checked the boiling pot and said.
"It's perfect. We just have to serve it."
"The kimbap is also finished."
Jo Minjoon spoke after finishing rolling the last smoked salmon norimaki. The team members looked at Jo Minjoon. He felt sound of his heart beating and extended his hand.
"Let's go. We will just eat this mission whole."
"……That's good, but must we do this?"
Anderson placed his hand on top of his and grumbled. 5 hands gathered and a loud yell was heard. Jo Minjoon opened the back door of the truck and went outside. And at that moment, he froze on that place.
"Huh, It's Minjoon."
There were no cheers. Just voices talking among themselves. But as countless voices were combined, he couldn't help but hear it as they were yelling.
The customers were lined up.
So long he couldn't even count them.

Tangent GC is a Swedish company founded by David Samuelsson. His collection of eco-conscious garment, shoe and skin care products was inspired by his grandfather. The way he took great care of his garments and shoes - even when he just owned a few - gave David the idea that not only you should purchase items like shoes and garments with great consciousness. He motivates us to nurture these items so they stay with you longer. I simply love his story and the way he thinks about consuming less but better.
For their new hand care collection with the fragrances 'OUD' and 'YUZU', I created these photo's that are featured on my instagram account. I was inspired by the story behind the products, its pureness, but also by the handmade aspect. A few items that are shown on the images reflect this, like a beautiful Japanse pair of scissors, a stone vase and a presse papier - all made by hand.

NYC-based Americana rock outfit Earnhardt release eponymous album
"A well-seamed record thriving in territory between Southern rock, alt-country and rock 'n' roll... Heartbreakingly contrasted by life's sometimes stark naturalism and the sunny, melodic feel-good quality of this music, Earnhardt are establishing themselves as a relevant force to reckon with in their respective genres" – Big Takeover Magazine
"Like a set of songs meant to travel with you down that highway of open land and whithering mountains, Earnhardt's songs flow from one to the next like a memorable conversation with an old friend steeped in Americana. Simply beautiful" – Jammerzine
Americana rock outfit Earnhardt present their debut eponymous album. This collection is comprised of 9 tracks, built to stand as a showcase of the band's diversity and a culmination of their labors. It will be released on vinyl on June 14 as a limited edition of 250 copies.
The 'Earnhardt' LP is the band's second release to date, following up their 'Live at 100' EP, released in 2017. In the meantime, the band has been busy touring, writing new material and recording.
Based in Brooklyn, Earnhardt are songwriter Adam Gerard (guitar and vocals), Grant Anderson (drums and vocals), John MacDonald (lead guitar), Steve 'Sunshine' Stapleton (bass), and Veronica Davila (vocals).
"This record is a collection of rock songs about that universal human struggle, that broken heart. They're all true, and meant to be listened to loud, ideally a couple of drinks deep, heavy-hearted or not. I think I tried to write a bunch of country songs and they ended up sounding more like 90's FM rock radio. I love the hook of a song. It's got to sound good. We embrace the hook...the pop element of it," says frontman Adam Gerard.
Photos by Rachel Rosenberg
Earnhardt is alt-country for people who like The Verve, heartland rock 'n' roll for people who like The Smiths, and Americana for people who hate the word 'Americana'. These are songs for saddling up to the bar with when you could use one or several drinks.
These songs are about getting hurt, feeling it, and doing what you need to do to feel better. They're about having a drink on it, for better or worse. Like Cobain said, they're about "missing the comfort in being sad."
For two tequila--fueled weeks in late summer 2016, the band lived and breathed these songs, refining the sound under the supervision of engineer and co-producer Ben Brodin (Conor Oberst, First Aid Kit, Savages, Pete Yorn), who handled recording and mixing at Another Recording Company Studios in Omaha, Nebraska, in addition to contributing piano, keyboards and guitar.
"As bandmates we really know each other. There's a collective instinct that we share when it comes to what something ought to sound like. This record has been a long time coming and we're grateful to be able to share it," says Adam Gerard.
Earnhardt also received mastering support by none other than Alex DeTurk (Taylor Swift, David Bowie, Kamasi Washington, David Lynch, Blonde Redhead).
This album involves a guest appearance by Mike Mogis (Julian Casablancas, TrashCan Sinatras, She & Him, Jenny Lewis), also known for composing the soundtrack to 'A Fault in Our Stars'. He contributes pedal steel on 'Women Without Whiskey', where Earnhardt offers their own rendition of the classic Drive-By Truckers track. Former bandmate Dominique Otto also contributed vocals throughout the record.
"We're so excited to finally have these recordings see the light of day, so now we can start looking ahead to the next record," says Steve 'Sunshine' Stapleton.
Earnhardt's music is inspired by the likes of The War on Drugs, Steve Earle, Counting Crows Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Emmylou Harris, Kurt Vile and The Replacements.
Adam Gerard and Grant Anderson previously performed as part of Young Lords, later forming the band Red Horse, releasing material with Steve Stapleton on bass. John MacDonald was also busy around this time as a member of Brooklyn-based The Archive. After a few years of sharing stages at shows around Brooklyn, Earnhardt began playing with MacDonald to round out the band's unique sound. Veronica Davila, also of the Brooklyn-based group Low Roller, adds vocal harmonies.
As of June 14, The 'Earnhardt' LP will be available on vinyl. Already now it can be downloaded from digital stores and the band's own Bandcamp site, and is streaming on Spotify.

Q: Resize on div element jQuery has the resize() - event, but it just work with window.
jQuery(window).resize(function() { /* What ever */ });

This works fine! But when I want to add the event to a div element it doesn't work.
E.g.
jQuery('div').resize(function() { /* What ever */ });

I want to start an callback when the size of a div-element has changed. I don't want to start a resizable - event – just a event to check if the size of a div -
 element has changed.
Is there any solution to do this?

A: I've created jquery plugin jquery.resize it use resizeObserver if supported or solution based on marcj/css-element-queries scroll event, no setTimeout/setInterval.
You use just
 jQuery('div').on('resize', function() { /* What ever */ });

or as resizer plugin
jQuery('div').resizer(function() { /* What ever */ });

I've created this for jQuery Terminal and extracted into separated repo and npm package, but in a mean time I switched to hidden iframe because I had problems with resize if element was inside iframe. I may update the plugin accordingly. You can look at iframe based resizer plugin in jQuery Terminal source code.
EDIT: new version use iframe and resize on it's window object because the previous solutions was not working when page was inside iframe.
EDIT2: Because the fallback use iframe you can't use it with form controls or images, you need to add it to the wrapper element.
EDIT3:: there is better solution using resizeObserver polyfill that use mutation observer (if resizeObserver is not supported) and work even in IE. It also have TypeScript typings.

A: what about this:
divH = divW = 0;
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    divW = jQuery("div").width();
    divH = jQuery("div").height();
});
function checkResize(){
    var w = jQuery("div").width();
    var h = jQuery("div").height();
    if (w != divW || h != divH) {
        /*what ever*/
        divH = h;
        divW = w;
    }
}
jQuery(window).resize(checkResize);
var timer = setInterval(checkResize, 1000);

BTW I suggest you to add an id to the div and change the $("div") to $("#yourid"), it's gonna be faster, and it won't break when later you add other divs

A: There is a really nice, easy to use, lightweight (uses native browser events for detection) plugin for both basic JavaScript and for jQuery that was released this year. It performs perfectly:

A: DIV does not fire a resize event,  so you won't be able to do exactly what you've coded, but you could look into monitoring DOM properties.
If you are actually working with something like resizables, and that is the only way for a div to change in size, then your resize plugin will probably be implementing a callback of its own.

A: I was only interested for a trigger when a width of an element was changed (I don' care about height), so I created a jquery event that does exactly that, using an invisible iframe element.
$.event.special.widthChanged = {
  remove: function() {
      $(this).children('iframe.width-changed').remove();
  },
  add: function () {
      var elm = $(this);
      var iframe = elm.children('iframe.width-changed');
      if (!iframe.length) {
          iframe = $('').addClass('width-changed').prependTo(this);
      }
      var oldWidth = elm.width();
      function elmResized() {
          var width = elm.width();
          if (oldWidth != width) {
              elm.trigger('widthChanged', [width, oldWidth]);
              oldWidth = width;
          }
      }

      var timer = 0;
      var ielm = iframe[0];
      (ielm.contentWindow || ielm).onresize = function() {
          clearTimeout(timer);
          timer = setTimeout(elmResized, 20);
      };
  }
}

It requires the following css :
iframe.width-changed {
    width: 100%;
    display: block;
    border: 0;
    height: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

You can see it in action here widthChanged fiddle

A: // this is a Jquery plugin function that fires an event when the size of an element is changed
// usage: $().sizeChanged(function(){})

(function ($) {

$.fn.sizeChanged = function (handleFunction) {
    var element = this;
    var lastWidth = element.width();
    var lastHeight = element.height();

    setInterval(function () {
        if (lastWidth === element.width()&&lastHeight === element.height())
            return;
        if (typeof (handleFunction) == 'function') {
            handleFunction({ width: lastWidth, height: lastHeight },
                           { width: element.width(), height: element.height() });
            lastWidth = element.width();
            lastHeight = element.height();
        }
    }, 100);

    return element;
};

}(jQuery));

A: Only window is supported yes but you could use a plugin for it: http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-resize-plugin/

A: There now exists Resize Observer
You could use it like so:
const resizeObserver = new ResizeObserver((entries) => {
  entries.forEach(console.log);
})
resizeObserver.observe(document.getElementById("ExampleElement"));

A: For a google maps integration I was looking for a way to detect when a div has changed in size. Since google maps always require proper dimensions e.g. width and height in order to render properly.
The solution I came up with is a delegation of an event, in my case a tab click. This could be a window resize of course, the idea remains the same:
if (parent.is(':visible')) {
    w = parent.outerWidth(false);
    h = w * mapRatio /*9/16*/;
    this.map.css({ width: w, height: h });
} else {
    this.map.closest('.tab').one('click', function() {
        this.activate();
    }.bind(this));
}

this.map in this case is my map div.
Since my parent is invisible on load, the computed width and height are 0 or don't match.
By using .bind(this) I can delegate the script execution (this.activate) to an event (click).
Now I'm confident the same applies for resize events.
$(window).one('resize', function() {
    this.div.css({ /*whatever*/ });
}.bind(this));

Hope it helps anyone!

Javascript:

A:

document.addEventListener('transitionend', function(e) {
  if ($(e.target).is("div")) {
    $("div").text("width: "+$("div").width());
  }
});
$("div").css({"width":"150px"});

width: 100

A: A very simple implementation.

      Pure vanilla implementation

A: If you just want to resize the div itself you need to specify that in css style. You need to add overflow and resize property.
Below is my code snippet
#div1 {
        width: 90%;
        height: 350px;
        padding: 10px;
        border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
        overflow: auto;
        resize: both;
    }
