BLEACHING SURFACES TO SAVE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS: A RAPID RESPONSE TO COVID-19
A casual conversation with students from Botho University portrayed a scare among youth with regards to COVID-19. In the eyes of these young people, they perceive the turmoil as a scary television series depicting end of days and naming it 'EARTH' – Episode 2020. They were referring to the apocalypse depicted in a movie called EARTH, where animal mothers struggle to raise their youth in an increasingly dangerous environment; Arctic melting down and the struggle for dryland animals to secure water sources. The basic truth to curbing the rapid spread of the virus has been pointed to hygienic practices from all angles. The spread of this knowledge is a masterwork in interjecting myths and stereotypes such as consuming alcohol, eating raw garlic, avoiding foreigners etc as preventive/curative measures.
According to World Health Organization, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus, which was first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The coronavirus belongs a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The disease is spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person.
While Lesotho still does not have a confirmed case yet, the threat of the disease on lives and livelihoods looms is evident and gets worse closer every day. The challenge is adhering to the WHO guidelines and hygiene standards in joint community spaces to abate the rate of infection. In Lesotho, one of the toughest areas to keep germ-free is the bus-stop area due to population concentration, human and service exchange. It goes without saying that the primary preventive measure to interject transmission is hand hygiene, but the challenge of water and detergents accessibility remains. Who is responsible? This question is a key trigger for innovation and a call for strategic partnerships with all affected communities to reduce chances for contagion and contamination in these areas.
Can we bleach all surfaces?
How do we keep hand hygiene accustomed in our areas? How do we keep our working surfaces clean? These rhetoric questions should be a direct link to how we should keep our communities safe. One would think that the working surfaces should be cleaned every time it has been touched while others are asking how frequent is frequent based on the survival of the virus on different surfaces. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days, depending on the environmental conditions.
Maintaining WHO standards in highly populous areas such as the bus-stop may be challenge, due to several factors, including congestion, vicinity of waterpoints and general hygiene requirements. For street vendors, these also include balancing between display of merchandise and cleanliness to attract potential customers. These areas are however seen as potential health hazards and accelerators of the virus. Maseru city hosts almost ¼ of the total population of Lesotho, making it the most population dense and congested place in the whole country.
In view of the disease, it may take a while but it is necessary to retain cleanliness and confidence in the products and services for both customers and sellers, service providers and seekers alike, to restore livelihoods gained in these populated areas In this regard, UNDP Lesotho through the Accelerator Lab has embarked on an innovation aimed at building a culture of cleanliness and to encourage behaviour change among the street, users dwellers and revellers, and in communities with limited water resources.
A 'tippy-tap' as a solution
The Accelerator Lab discovered the 'tippy-tap' in Pic 1 below, during a solutions safari in Mafeteng in October 2019. This simple hand hygiene mechanism was seen in different households dangling in front of external lavatories to encourage handwashing after the use of the facilities. It is anticipated that a simple modification and adoption of this for different communities in the urban and rural areas would save lives and livelihoods and promote the new socialisation required by the COVID19 era.
This uses 5-litre containers and has a small hole on the cap which releases water when stepping on the loose string attached to the container. The Accelerator Lab has remodelled this, using the same technology, to address hygiene needs for densely populated and high traffic areas. The model uses a flat iron instead of a string to release water without a need to touch the tap, as shown in Pic 2 below.
As part of its response to the COVID-19, UNDP is partnering with Relationships Inspiring Social Enterprise (RISE), the Ministry of Health and Maseru City Council to deploy these improved dispensers to local communities, targeting bus-stop areas, market centres, border posts and other populous areas to promote the culture of hygiene in these areas. Local communities and authorities will be responsible for maintaining the service by refilling the water and detergents as needed. The dispenses will be produced in two sizes, a household single dispenser and larger containers for populated areas.
Lessons from the Lesotho Accelerator Lab's societal interactions: "Can elegant grasshoppers be used as a pesticide in crop farming?"

Carapetis, Jonathan (2009). Epidemiology of group A streptococcus in Australia. Microbiology Australia,30(5):171-176.
The Australian population experiences the extremes of group A streptococcal (GAS) disease. The majority of our population lives an affluent, middle class existence and experiences the same types and rates of GAS disease as are found in most industrialised countries. By contrast, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, particularly those in remote and rural settings, experience a developing-country profile of GAS disease, which is almost entirely attributable to poverty, particularly as it is manifest by overcrowded housing, poor environmental health and reduced access to health care.

Review of the 2020 GMC Conversion Van provides the latest have a look at trim-level options and specs, performance, security, and luxury. Not like quite a lot of sleeker opponents, the 2020 GMC Conversion Van requires no cargo-carrying compromises be made in response to a sloping roofline or an angled hatch consuming into the out there vertical area. For this review 2020 GMC Conversion Van EyeSight bundle of safety options pre-collision braking, lane-conserving assist, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning.
The 2020 GMC Conversion Van with a bunch of mid-cycle changes, probably the most noticeable of that are to its exterior. A new grille, front fascia, and headlight design spotlight changes to the entrance of the automobile, whereas redesigned taillights are now illuminated by LEDs. Opting for EyeSight on Restricted and Touring models also brings to the desk automatic high-beam headlights and reverse-automated-braking, the latter of which may mechanically stop the car if it detects an imminent collision whereas reversing.
Additionally, keyword added a quicker steering ratio and more soundproofing to the Best 2020 GMC Conversion Van Spy Shoot. Thicker glass, an acoustically laminated windshield, added insulation, and improved door seals all assist block exterior noise from the cabin. A cushty experience, an elevated seating position, commonplace all-wheel drive, and out there state-of-the-artwork security know-how provide Subaru's compact crossover with the characteristics sought by clients purchasing this class.
For these selecting that engine, we'd suggest the handbook transmission; however, doing so means forgoing safety choices equivalent to EyeSight and blind-spot monitoring. Whereas 2020 GMC Conversion Van latest multimedia methods, updated for 2016, are ergonomically sound and easy to make use of, the Forester continues to lack Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration, and the graphic presentation looks dated.

"I dream't I dwelt in marble halls"
Devoted to the histories and current state of the great mansions of America's Gilded Age.
Jay Gatsby Mansion and others of the Great Gatsby Era. The real locations, sites and photos of these literary mansions.
Here are just a few of the many mansions that once stood or are still standing along the North Shore of New York's Long Island. This area due to the numerous concentration of estates and mansions built during the Gilded Age became known as the, "Gold Coast". It was here that F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote and partied with the very rich, famous and celebrated people of the 1920's Jazz Age. The Gold Coast started at Great Neck, where Fitzgerald lived and ran along the Long Island Sound to Centerport. When Fitzgerald wrote, "The Great Gatsby", he didn't use just one house or location, but combined many and moved them all around, sometimes those that were almost next to each other ending up being moved across the water.
Here is a list that many historians think were the estates, mansions and locations that Fitzgerald was inspired by when writing,"The Great Gatsby".
Beacon Towers at Sands Point, New York.
The Great Gatsby Mansion of Jay Gatsby. Demolished late 1940s.
This house that is often thought of to be the model for the mansion of Jay Gatsby was a house built by Alva Vanderbilt Belmont. Alva was a real build-aholic, first commissioning the famous chateau on Fifth Avenue, then the still exisitng palace in Newport called Marble House. She also lived at Belcourt Castle in Newport, and had numerous other houses in New York City, Long Island and France. She was the first woman ever elected to become a member of the American Institute of Architects, some say because she commissioned so many houses in her lifetime. In 1917 she had the architectural firm Hunt and Hunt design for her a castle over looking the Long Island Sound. She is said to have commented upon seeing a real Scottish castle that her house on Long Island was more authentic. In the late 1920s William Randolph Hearst, later builder of California's, "Hearst Castle" , bought Beacon Towers and renovated it making it larger and more opulent. He lived there very little, with the house mostly used by his wife, Millicent. The house was demolished in the early 1940s.

Lands End at Sands Point, New York.
Lands End at Sands Point, The inspiration for Tom & Daisy Buchanan's Mansion. Photo: Natasha Commander
This Iconic Gold Coast mansion, stood for over 100 years and according to some accounts was built in 1911. Often attributed to architect Stanford White, it has never been proven. If it was built in 1911, then it is not, since Stanford White died in 1906. While it was a unique piece of architecture, the only thing that it had in common with any Stanford White building was that it was white with big columns, which is pretty classic for most mansions of this style. The massing was very unlike any other houses ever designed by White and bore no resemblance to any other works of his or his firm, McKim, Mead & White. From its over scaled heavy topped chimneys, to its slightly angled plan, which from a design point of view, embraced the site perfectly. This great mansion,recently demolished was one of Long Island's last remaining jewels and sailing landmarks. During a sunny day or overcast day it rose above its site prominently, The Parthenon of the "Gold Coast'.
Lands End at Sands Point, Long Island. The inspiration for the mansion of Tom and Daisy Buchanan.
If you will notice from the maps, that both houses are on the same side of the harbor and even within walking distance along the beach. It might have been possible to have seen Daisy's house from Gatsby's house but it is not across the water. Also both houses are located in Sands Point, which is at the tip of Port Washington. Sands Point is often thought to have be renamed by Fitzgerald as East Egg, the place where old established money lived and not new flashy millionaires like Gatsby. West Egg which was the location of Gatsby's mansion would have been Great Neck, which is the next town west, where Fitzgerald actually lived. Great Neck at the time while having many estates and mansions of it's own, but most not of the scale of Sands Point, attracted many celebrated people from Broadway and the arts. Getting back to the Gatsby mansion and Buchanan mansion, both houses face east looking towards the shore of Glen Cove. In the book, Gatsby's mansion would have been on the eastern shore of Great Neck looking across at the western shore of Sands Point, where Daisy's mansion would have been. But across the water from Beacon Towers,"Gatsby's Mansion",was the estate and phenomenal mansion called Pembroke, which was in Glen Cove. This amazing estate was built by Captain De Lamar, then sold to Marcus Loew, the movie theater magnate. It was here that Fitzgerald probably attended the wild parties during the roaring twenties that were attended by some of the silent screens greatest stars such as Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino and served as inspiration for those depicted in his novel. This estate also had a long dock, with a light at the end, visible from Gatsby's mansion.This mansion was demolished in the 1960s and the estate made into new smaller houses.

Agricultural businesses that ruin the land, have chemical run-off in local water sources and inadvertently harm wildlife don't help to sustain the business or the environment. In the face of a rapidly rising population and agriculture's high demand, the nation is working to ensure future supplies of water are safe and abundant. Water quality is rapidly decreasing as a result of human activities such as deforestation, mining and dumping of chemicals waste generated by factories into water sources such as oceans, rivers and lakes. Population growth, increasing demands for food, ever-growing competition for water, reduced supply reliability, climate change and climate uncertainty and droughts, decline in critical ecosystems services, competition for land use, changing regulatory environments, and less participatory water resources governance are contributing to increasing difficulties and challenges in water resource management for agriculture and food. Water is primarily used in forestry and fishery, agricultural production (in its entire agri-food supply chain) and is used to create and/or transfer energy in varying forms. I.

When you notice a clogged or backed up drain, there could be a number of potential causes of the issue. Similarly, if there is a leak deep in the pipes, it could be due to something entering the pipe, causing some type of clog, such as a tree root. To help clear the pipe, a professional plumber may turn to a method known as hydro-jetting. This is something that not many individuals know about and are unaware of how it works. We're here to help.
Typically, hydro-jet nozzles are set up so the water stream exits in two different directions. Most of the water pressure comes from the back of the nozzle, aimed at the inside walls of the pipes. The other is the front of the nozzle, working to help clear the way in front of the equipment. The pressure from the water propels the nozzle through the pipes while cleaning away the debris inside the pipe. It is strong enough to clear tree roots from the pipe, as well, allowing for repairs on any cracks and leaks.
Normally, some plumbers may opt to use snakes, or homeowners use chemicals to get rid of bad clogs. While these ways will work, using chemical cleaners may be more harmful and a snake may not get everything out of the pipes. Hydro-jetting is a faster, easier way to get off more debris and more of the problems causing your pipes trouble.
Mr. Rooter of Central Pennsylvania is dedicated to making sure our customers receive the service they need when they need it most. Hydro-jetting is an important process. It's also very helpful for large commercial buildings dealing with a serious clog. If you are experiencing a problem with a clogged drain, you need to ensure that you have professional, skilled plumbing experts on your side to get the job done right and get your plumbing working like normal.


Wearing nice clothes is all about feeling good. We wear specific clothes to display a part of our personality that we want to share with others. A fun top can show that you are playful and up for a lough. A smart blouse means that you want to be taken seriously.
We use are clothes like a tribal tattoo. It can denote the music that we like or the scene that we are into. It can also represent the class we wish to be perceived as.
I think you will agree with me but there is nothing nicer than going out and people commenting on how lovely you look, specially if you don't know them. Take note of these times, for they are the ones when not only have you got it right but you also appear comfortable with your look. There is no point wearing something that you love but that just does not feel good. It can spoil your night or day. Friends are rarely honest when you look awful in something. So, if someone does say "that colour really suits you" or that top is so flattering on you" take it on board.
Play with styles and shapes until you feel satisfied you have a look that suits. Remember that most of us do not look like the models in magazines or mannequins, and, by developing your own style and formulating a series of colours and designs that suit you, you can look great at any time.
Almost everyone can wear black and white, so if you are not sure what suits you try a few styles in simple tones. In new post you can see just few picture of my different outfits from last year. Each style is from different fashion events in Dubai. I hope that you'll love some of my combinations and accessories, and every comment about them that you leave (good or bad) here will mean to me a lot.

This evening (March 9/2012) the CBC's Marketplace will be doing an episode on the pitfalls of travel insurance. From the previews I listened to on the radio this morning, it sounds like this episode will be well worth viewing for anyone who is planning on traveling out of the country.
When purchasing insurance, most people have only a very general idea of what they are buying. Rarely do the purchasers of insurance take the time to read the policy. This is unfortunate as insurance contracts are notorious for their "fine print". The overlooked fine print contained in the application form, the definitions, and in the overall contract frequently leads to customers being denied insurance coverage. A denial of insurance coverage in the face of massive foreign medical bills often proves financially catastrophic for the unwitting traveller or their family.
Unfortunately, due to the extremely technical nature of insurance policy application forms and contracts, these financial catastrophes are a far too frequent occurrence. Any innocent error or omission when filling out the applicattion form can result in a denial of coverage and insurance companies love to deny coverage as much as they love to take your premiums. I highly recommend that you watch Marketplace tonight to gain some insight into what can go wrong when purchasing travel insurance.
This has happened to me. I have a lawyer – we are at the point of serving the insurance companies. Please tell me that I am not going to end up paying my lawyer, the 3 insurance companies involved as well as the $100,000.00 hospital bills. Why does the government let these companies get away with this stuff. Most of these policies are with pensioner's and they certainly cannot afford these kind of bills. We have bought insurance for 7 or 8 years thinking we were covered. We are so frustrated now – help us please.
The Market Place episode on travel insurance showed what I knew all along. There is no way to be sure that you filled out the questionaire to the insurance company's satisfaction. That even totally unrelated conditions play a role and even if this is not an issue, their only concern is to pay a cheap air ticket home, where your provicial plan takes over.
This was the case with Medipac, who insisted that my wife returned home from Florida for a minor 20 minute operation and than cancelled the remainder of the policy on the grounds that returning home constituted the end of the trip.
Do we all have to stay home from now on??
We missed marketplace last night and we are wondering if it is on the web for us to read? If so were do we find it?
This episode is now available for online viewing on the CBC website.
I finally got around to watching this episode last night and was quite shocked by the findings. I am surprised that more people have not responded with similar complaints – if indeed there are more. I figured that if this was just the tip of the ice berg, as it seems the segment hints at, we are either blindly ignorant or a multitude of cases are not being made aware of to the public. Some MPPs have been quite vocal about car insurance – does travel insurance need the same scrutiny?
I think travel insurance is just a scam as I am now in the process of appealing a $22,000.00 claim that was denied.I feel they should be investigating more on these companies as rhey get away with to much. When I talked to them I asked them how many they actually pay out and she said maybe 1 a month.

Andre Agassi defeated the defending champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov in the final, 3–6, 6–3, 6–2, 6–4 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2000 Australian Open. It was Agassi's fourth consecutive major final, making him the first man to do so since Rod Laver in 1969. With the win, Agassi became the champion at three of the four majors, missing only Wimbledon.

This was the first Australian Open that Roger Federer competed in and the first time he progressed beyond the first round in a major. Also, this marked the beginning of Federer's 65-consecutive major appearance streak and his 21-consecutive Australian Open appearance streak.

This tournament marked former champion Jim Courier's final major appearance.

510HP, 3.9s 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Makes Paris Debut With Red-Lipped Styling Accents
February 17, 2019, 8 pm October 10, 2014, 6 pm by Tom Burkart
The new C63 is here! In UK trim at first, but with key details now clear ahead of the US announcement.
In an unusual move, Mercedes-Benz is now Mercedes-AMG for the hottest models in its range. This slight name change drops the Benz and moves the AMG portion ahead of the model nomenclature.
Aside from the detail OEM change, the rest of the car is far more exciting. Huge power from the 476-horsepower engine is also available in an XXL power guise: the S Model simply becomes the C63 S.
One distinct piece for the C63 versus the E63 and the CLS/CLA AMG cars: the hottest C-Class is still rear-drive, while the bigger brothers all bring standard 4Matic AWD to their US trims.
2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S
Faster, greener, leaner: the all-new Mercedes-AMG C 63
New name, new engine, new technology, same purpose – succeeding the most popular AMG model in its history, the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 is set to evolve the formula – with even greater power, performance, agility and focus than ever before
Fitted with the all-new and hand built 3,982 cc, biturbo V8 engine
New engine, codenamed M177, is more powerful, smaller, lighter and 32 per cent more efficient than the engine it replaces
Mercedes-AMG C 63 comes in two guises – as standard with 476 hp reached at 5,500-6,250 rpm and 650 Nm of torque delivered at 1,750-4,500 rpm or, in C 63 S form, developing 510 hp at 5,500-6,250 rpm and 700 Nm of torque at 1,750-4,500 rpm
The fastest AMG C-Class variant yet – the C 63 S Saloon accelerates from rest to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds (Estate: 4.1) and can reach a limited 155 mph (Estate: 155 mph). The Standard C 63 Saloon hits 62 mph in 4.1 secs (Estate: 4.2 secs) and has a limited top speed of 155 mph (Estate: 155 mph)
The new cars are available to order in the UK next month: the Saloon will arrive first, in early 2015 – the Estate follows a few months later
Mercedes-AMG C 63: new name takes its lead from the Mercedes-AMG GT
The all-new Mercedes-AMG C 63 Saloon and Estate are revealed for the first time today.
Using the 205 series aluminium and steel chassis structure as its basis, the new C 63 adds an all-new 4.0-litre biturbo engine to endow it with phenomenal performance while unique, three-stage adjustable dampers and a bespoke steering set-up allow it to retain the agility that made the model it replaces the most popular AMG ever created.
The technology applied to the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 is focused on enhancing the performance of the car – to make it as exhilarating as possible yet viable to be used every day. The dynamic engine mounts fitted to the C 63 are a good example. They reduce unwanted vibration from the engine and gearbox by softening during normal driving conditions – when greater agility is required, they stiffen to improve responses through the speed-sensitive, electromechanical steering and limit unwanted movement in the drivetrain.
Likewise, the C 63 uses a unique suspension set-up. At the front it uses four-link suspension, independent steering knuckles and a wider track to improve stability, while at the rear the multilink system uses independent mounts and an increase in negative camber. Both are linked to AMG RIDE CONTROL system, operating through electronically-controlled three-stage dampers – ranging from comfort through to track settings. Useful for when the latter is engaged, a mechanical locking rear differential for the standard C 63 and an electronic version for the C 63 S.
As standard the C 63 is fitted with 245/40 R18 (front) and 265/40 R18 (rear) tyres while the 'S' model gains 245/35 R19 (front) and 265/35 R19 (rear) tyres.
At the heart of any AMG is its hand-built engine. The Mercedes-AMG C 63 uses the M177 engine – a sister unit to the M178 found in the new Mercedes-AMG GT – displacing 3,982 cc and equipped with twin turbochargers neatly packaged in the 'V' of the cylinder banks and cooled via a special duct built in the bonnet of the car. Developing 476 hp in standard form and 510 hp in the C 63 AMG S, it's nearly a third more efficient than the engine it replaces yet, in 'S' form, produces more power and emits less CO2 – from 192 g/km of CO2. The combination makes it the most efficient performance engine of its kind.
A heavily revised version of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed transmission features on the C 63 – now with significantly quicker shift times to improve responses.
In Saloon form, the C 63 AMG weighs from 1,715 kg while the Estate weighs from 1,785 kg (including fuel and the driver).
Matching the changes under the skin are extensive changes to the appearance of the car – both outside and in. New front bumpers with deep airdams to feed the intercoolers are joined by the unique AMG grille and a new bonnet with subtle power domes. Unique, wider front wings (to clear the wider front track) feature a subtle 'V8 biturbo' badges above a set of similarly discreet sill extensions. The rear bumper is also new, designed to house the new quad exhaust pipes below a small wing mounted on the bootlid and above the tailgate glass on the Estate.
Inside, the changes are immediately apparent, with deep, contoured seats set behind a small, unique AMG wheel and recalibrated AMG dials. The option of AMG sports seats can be specified along with a range of different leather treatments and trim finishes – from piano black to carbon and aluminium. The buttons for the AMG RIDE CONTROL, the optional active AMG performance exhaust system and the three-stage gearbox modes are grouped around the standard Touchpad controller, above which is an AMG badge and an IWC timepiece.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Saloon and Estate are both available to order in the UK from next month, with prices and specifications set to be announced when ordering opens. First deliveries are expected to take place in Spring 2015.

Q: Calling function after .load (Jquery) Having a little difficulty getting a function to call after a .load:
$(function(){
    $('a.pageFetcher').click(function(){
        $('#main').load($(this).attr('rel'));
    });
});

The page loads, but the functions don't fire:
$(function(){
    var $container = $('#container');
    $container.imagesLoaded(function(){
        $container.masonry({
            itemSelector: '.box',
    });
});
$container.infinitescroll({
    navSelector  : '#page-nav',
    nextSelector : '#page-nav a',
    itemSelector : '.box',
    loading: {
        finishedMsg: 'Nothing else to load.',
        img: 'http://i.imgur.com/6RMhx.gif'
    }
},
function( newElements ) {
    $.superbox.settings = {
        closeTxt: "Close this",
        loadTxt: "Loading your selection",
        nextTxt: "Next item",
        prevTxt: "Previous item"
    };
    $.superbox();
    var $newElems = $( newElements ).css({ opacity: 0 });
    $newElems.imagesLoaded(function(){
        $newElems.animate({ opacity: 1 });
        $container.masonry( 'appended', $newElems, true );
    });
}
);
});

I've attempted to combine them so that the 2nd functions are called after .load (after doing some searching on this site and looking at given answers/examples) but nothing seems to work properly.
Suggestions?

A: To run some code after a .load() finishes, you will need to put the code in a completion function for the .load().  The load operation is asynchronous so the load function starts the loading of the content and then immediately returns and your JS execution continues (before the load has completed).  So, if you're trying to operate on the newly loaded content, it won't be there yet.
As your code is written now, you have two blocks of code that both run when the original HTML document is ready.  The first block starts a .load() operation.  The second operation expects the .load() to be done already, but it has not yet completed so the content from the .load() operation is not yet available.
That's why .load() takes a completion function as an argument.  That's a function that will be called when the load has completed.  See the relevant jQuery .load() doc for more info.  Here's what your code would look like with a completion function.
$(function(){
    $('a.pageFetcher').click(function(){
        $('#main').load($(this).attr('rel'), function() {
            // put the code here that you want to run when the .load()
            // has completed and the content is available
            // Or, you can call a function from here
        });
        // the .load() operation has not completed here yet
        // it has just been started
    });
});

A: you can also use bootstrap loading button to trigger the .load() and the function after .load()
HTML
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" id="refresh" data-loading-text="<i class='fa fa-spinner fa-spin '></i>Processing">Reload Emails</button>

JQUERY
 $("#refresh").click(function() {

    var $this = $(this);
    $this.button('loading');

    $("#container").load("/showemails.aspx?page=1 #container", function() {
         $("#refresh").button('reset');
      });

     return false;
  });

A: Your first point of reference should always be the jQuery API, here's what the API page on .load() tells you about the parameters the load function takes:

.load( handler(eventObject) )
.load( [eventData], handler(eventObject) )

In this case, you're passing $(this).attr('rel') as the eventData, so you add your event handler after that:
$('#main').load($(this).attr('rel'), onNewMainContent);

In your second block of code, you're telling jQuery to execute it when your body loads, not when you load more into your site. You need to execute it specifically, so change the start of that function to:
function onNewMainContent {  // new
  var $container = $('#container');
  $container.imagesLoaded(function(){
    $container.masonry({
      itemSelector: '.box',
  // ...

Simon Bott qualified in 1994 from St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospitals and then underwent six years of 'basic' surgical training in and around London. He subsequently went into a period of research into prostate cancer at the Institute of Urology, University College London. Simon was awarded an MD from the University of London for his thesis and published over 40 peer-reviewed papers. He also presented his work at national and international meeting and wrote and edited a number of books.
Simon started speciality training in Urology in 2003, based at St George's hospital, spending five years in centres in the south of England gaining expertise in general urology and also developing a particular interest in prostate cancer, laser prostate surgery and stone disease. Along with colleagues, Simon was the first to describe template prostate biopsies to assist in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. He continues to research ways of improving prostate cancer diagnosis, including fusion guided targeted biopsies. Simon has also developed strategies for safe active surveillance for men with low risk prostate cancer, such that over 95% of men remain on surveillance for up to 7 years.
Simon is currently a Consultant Urologist at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. His surgical interests include minimally invasive treatment of prostate cancer and he continues to research ways of improving prostate cancer diagnosis, including fusion guided targeted biopsies. He has performed over 100 template biopsy procedures in the past year and is also involved with the early trials in prostate cancer focal therapy.
Simon keeps pigs and chickens as well as two young children. He enjoys cooking and wine, photography and pottery.

Nathalie Lété x H&M. Spring/Summer 2019
Review of H&M
Product range. Focused on basic clothing and footwear, but also offer creative replicas of catwalk pieces. Kid lines are as diverse as those targeting adults: from baby basics line and school uniforms to special occasion dresses to sportswear and accessories. It's quite telling that a number of pieces from teenager collections might appeal to some adults as well. Moreover, H&M are the only major retailer to sell maternity wear, besides the usual assortment of clothing and footwear for men, women, teenagers and kids.
Originality. Ikea stores were conceived based on the assumption that you don't need to be rich to appreciate good design. H&M is the Ikea of the fashion world. What's more, H&M were the first mass-market retailer to have collaborated with a high fashion house. The first project of this kind was carried out together with Chanel. The collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld proved a success and inspired to launch capsule collections by other high-profile designers: think Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, Sonia Rykiel, Matthew Williamson, Marni, and Maison Martin Margiela. The news of every new collaboration spreads like wildfire with the collections selling out in a flash.
Chic. Lives up to the expectations.
Pricing. Jörgen Andersson, a former global marketing director at H&M, recapitulated the company's pricing strategy as follows: We're driven by the objective to make people less reluctant to come to an H&M store just to buy a new top for the party tonight. They are unlikely to mull over whether it's worth buying a $10 piece, it's a no-brainer to be sure. The price is so ridiculous that you can donate the top the next day to your local Salvation Army if you're willing to, since it cost you less that a couple of glasses of wine.
Corporate history highlights. Erling Persson, the company founder, opened his first store in 1947. He had been inspired by a US trip when he learned about the then novel kind of ready-to-wear boutique unknown to Europe. By the way, H&M stands for Hennes & Mauritz.
