United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-Custodial Measures for Women Offenders [Bangkok Rules], reproduced in E.S.C. Res. 2010/16, Annex, U.N. Doc. E/RES/2010/16 (July 22, 2010).
14. Invites Member States and other donors to provide extrabudgetary contributions for such purposes, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the United Nations.
1. The Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners16 apply to all prisoners without discrimination; therefore, the specific needs and realities of all prisoners, including of women prisoners, should be taken into account in their application. The Rules, adopted more than 50 years ago, did not, however, draw sufficient attention to women"s particular needs. With the increase in the number of women prisoners worldwide, the need to bring more clarity to considerations that should apply to the treatment of women prisoners has acquired importance and urgency.
2. Recognizing the need to provide global standards with regard to the distinct considerations that should apply to women prisoners and offenders and taking into account a number of relevant resolutions adopted by different Unite Nations bodies, in which Member States were called on to respond appropriately to the needs of women offenders and prisoners, the present rules have been developed to complement and supplement, as appropriate, the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (the Tokyo Rules)17 in connection with the treatment of women prisoners and alternatives to imprisonment for women offenders.
3. The present rules do not in any way replace the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners or the Tokyo Rules and, therefore, all relevant provisions contained in those two sets of rules continue to apply to all prisoners and offenders without discrimination. While some of the present rules bring further clarity to existing provisions in the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and in the Tokyo Rules in their application to women prisoners and offenders, others cover new areas.
4. These rules are inspired by principles contained in various United Nations conventions and declarations and are therefore consistent with the provisions of existing international law. They are addressed to prison authorities and criminal justice agencies (including policymakers, legislators, the prosecution service, the judiciary and the probation service) involved in the administration of non-custodial sanctions and community-based measures.
6. The Seventh Congress,19 the Eighth Congress20 and the Ninth Congress21 also made specific recommendations concerning women prisoners.
7. In the Vienna Declaration on Crime and Justice: Meeting the Challenges of the Twenty-first Century,22 adopted also by the Tenth Congress, Member States committed themselves to taking into account and addressing, within the United Nations crime prevention and criminal justice programme, as well as within national crime prevention and criminal justice strategies, any disparate impact of programmes and policies on women and men (para. 11); and to the development of action-oriented policy recommendations based on the special needs of women as prisoners and offenders (para. 12). The plans of action for the implementation of the Vienna Declaration23 contain a separate section (sect. XIII) devoted to specific recommended measures to follow up on the commitments undertaken in paragraphs 11 and 12 of the Declaration, including that of States reviewing, evaluating and, if necessary, modifying their legislation, policies, procedures and practices relating to criminal matters, in a manner consistent with their legal systems, in order to ensure that women are treated fairly by the criminal justice system.
8. The General Assembly, in its resolution 58/183 of 22 December 2003, entitled "Human rights in the administration of justice", called for increased attention to be devoted to the issue of women in prison, including the children of women in prison, with a view to identifying the key problems and ways in which they could be addressed.
9. In its resolution 61/143 of 19 December 2006, entitled "Intensification of efforts to eliminate all forms of violence against women", the General Assembly stressed that "violence against women" meant any act of genderbased violence resulting in, or likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life, and urged States to review and, where appropriate, revise, amend or abolish all laws, regulations, policies, practices and customs discriminating against women or having a discriminatory impact on women, and ensure that provisions of multiple legal systems, where they existed, complied with international human rights obligations, commitments and principles, including the principle of non- discrimination; to take positive measures to address structural causes of violence against women and to strengthen prevention efforts addressing discriminatory practices and social norms, including with regard to women in need of special attention, such as women in institutions or in detention; and to provide training and capacity- building on gender equality and women"s rights for law enforcement personnel and the judiciary. The resolution is an acknowledgement of the fact that violence against women has specific implications for women"s contact with the criminal justice system, as well as their right to be free of victimization while imprisoned. Physical and psychological safety is critical to ensuring human rights and improving outcomes for women offenders, of which the present rules take account.
10. Finally, in the Bangkok Declaration on Synergies and Responses: Strategic Alliances in Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, adopted by the Eleventh United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice on 25 April 2005, 60 Member States declared that they were committed to the development and maintenance of fair and efficient criminal justice institutions, including the humane treatment of all those in pretrial and correctional facilities, in accordance with applicable international standards (para. 8); and they recommended that the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice should give consideration to reviewing the adequacy of standards and norms in relation to prison management and prisoners (para. 30).
11. As with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, in view of the great variety of legal, social, economic and geographical conditions worldwide, it is evident that not all of the following rules can be equally applied in all places and at all times. They should, however, serve to stimulate a constant endeavour to overcome practical difficulties in how they are applied, in the knowledge that they represent, as a whole, the global aspirations considered by the United Nations as leading to the common goal of improving outcomes for women prisoners, their children and their communities.
12. Some of these rules address issues applicable to both men and women prisoners, including those relating to parental responsibilities, some medical services, searching procedures and the like, although the rules are mainly concerned with the needs of women and their children. However, as the focus includes the children of imprisoned mothers, there is a need to recognize the central role of both parents in the lives of children. Accordingly, some of these rules would apply equally to male prisoners and offenders who are fathers.
13. The following rules do not in any way replace the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and the Tokyo Rules. Therefore, all provisions contained in those two sets of rules continue to apply to all prisoners and offenders without discrimination.
14. Section I of the present rules, covering the general management of institutions, is applicable to all categories of women deprived of their liberty, including criminal or civil, untried or convicted women prisoners, as well as women subject to "security measures" or corrective measures ordered by a judge.
15. Section II contains rules applicable only to the special categories dealt with in each subsection. Nevertheless, the rules under subsection A, applicable to prisoners under sentence, shall be equally applicable to the category of prisoners dealt with in subsection B, provided they do not conflict with the rules governing that category of women and are for their benefit.
on Children in the Criminal Justice System,27 need to be designed for the treatment and rehabilitation of this category of prisoners, while institutionalization shall be avoided to the maximum possible extent.
17. Section III contains rules covering the application of non-custodial sanctions and measures for women and juvenile female offenders, including on arrest and at the pretrial, sentencing and post-sentencing stages of the criminal justice process.
18. Section IV contains rules on research, planning, evaluation, public awareness-raising and sharing of information, and is applicable to all categories of female offenders covered in these rules.
2. Prior to or on admission, women with caretaking responsibilities for children shall be permitted to make arrangements for those children, including the possibility of a reasonable suspension of detention, taking into account the best interests of the children.
1. The number and personal details of the children of a woman being admitted to prison shall be recorded at the time of admission. The records shall include, without prejudicing the rights of the mother, at least the names of the children, their ages and, if not accompanying the mother, their location and custody or guardianship status.

The accommodation of women prisoners shall have facilities and materials required to meet women"s specific hygiene needs, including sanitary towels provided free of charge and a regular supply of water to be made available for the personal care of children and women, in particular women involved in cooking and those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating.
(e) Sexual abuse and other forms of violence that may have been suffered prior to admission.
1. If the existence of sexual abuse or other forms of violence before or during detention is diagnosed, the woman prisoner shall be informed of her right to seek recourse from judicial authorities. The woman prisoner should be fully informed of the procedures and steps involved. If the woman prisoner agrees to take legal action, appropriate staff shall be informed and immediately refer the case to the competent authority for investigation. Prison authorities shall help such women to access legal assistance.
2. Whether or not the woman chooses to take legal action, prison authorities shall endeavour to ensure that she has immediate access to specialized psychological support or counselling.

These are for you! If you love a crunchy and crispy, golden browned croutons on your salad, vegetables, or power bowl, you must give these a try. Much tastier and healthier than store-bought ones, these are quick to make! This is my everyday bread; I use a super healthy store-bought bread for these croutons that's high in protein and fiber, and loaded with tasty seeds and nuts. It's called Dave's Killer Bread Good Seed.
And, if you're not familiar with it, a great seasoning salt I always have in my spice rack is Trocomare®. It's originally created by a health pioneering Swiss Naturopath, in a yearlong process that integrates the full herb and vegetable flavor into the salt crystal. If you're trying to cut down on sodium, use this instead of salt! It's really delicious on vegetables, too!
These two ingredients make amazing home-made croutons!
Place an oven-safe cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
Making a stack of 2 slices of bread, cut off crusts, cut into desired bite-sized shape; repeat with next two slices.
The smaller the croutons are, the quicker they will brown; I cut mine into 1 ½ x 1 ½ inch squares.
In a medium bowl, place bread chunks and sprinkle with Trocomare® seasoning salt; toss well.
Place bread chunks over cooling rack inside prepared baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and turn croutons over to toast the other side; cook for 4 more minutes, or until browned to your liking.
No-Knead Savory or Sweet Beer Bread – Must Make!


Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has faced criticism and controversy in recent weeks. She's been slammed by Republicans and members of her party for comments taken as anti-Semitic, she received an endorsement last week from David Duke – a former Grand Wizard of the KKK – and she and the Democratic party have yet to denounce said endorsement.
Now, a Florida Republican is introducing legislation that would admonish Congresswoman Omar, saying that Democrats missed an opportunity to properly handle the situation.
After the comments made by Omar, which many argued propogated anti-Jewish stereotypes, many lawmakers from both sides of the aisle condemned the remarks. In turn, Democratic leadership introduced a resolution condemning anti-Semitism. However, some Democratic party members argued that Omar was facing disproportionate criticism because of Islamaphobia, so the resolution was broadened, and Steube along with 23 other members of the Republican party voted against the resolution because they felt it overlooked Omar's comments.
Steube also took to twitter to give Democrats a suggestion on what they should do to handle the situation.
Rep. Omar has repeatedly made anti-Semitic remarks but has yet to face any real punishment from her caucus. If Democrat leadership wants to stand against such rhetoric, they'd remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Don't you agree?

Remember, your parent node must be <resources>!
I created a basic layout with TextViews to display what each of these strings look like. Take note though that getQuantityText() returns a CharSequence and not a String! Also, from what I have noticed, and as the name mildly suggests, getQuantityText() gets the actual value of the text you defined in your xml.

Expert insights ASIC is seeking public input on school banking programs
ASIC is seeking public input on school banking programs
| Sep 30,2019
ASIC is seeking the public's view of school banking programs as part of its ongoing review of their use and impact in primary schools.
Members of the public and organisations interested in the issue are encouraged to respond to questions posed in the Consultation Paper 323, Review of school banking programs.
Community opinions will help inform the development of high-level principles on the implementation of school banking programs.
ASIC Commissioner Sean Hughes said, "Young people are engaging with money every day and they need to understand financial concepts and develop the skills to identify financial services that are right for them. Financial literacy is embedded in the Australian Curriculum, and needs to be – and there is a long history of school banking programs in Australian schools."
"It is important for ASIC to understand the range and extent of impacts that school banking programs can have on students, parents and school communities, as part of our responsibility to ensure the financial sector is delivering for all Australians, and especially for future generations of financial consumers."
ASIC has already consulted with a diverse range of stakeholders including primary school principals, parents, present and past students and organisations from the education and consumer advocacy sectors, as well as the authorised deposit-taking institutions offering the programs.
It is expected the review will be completed in early 2020.

VIDEO: Lifetime honour for inter-faith worker Chan Parmar
Bolton's Chandrakant Parmar better known to many as Chan Parmar was honoured with the Lifetime Community Achievement Award at Fusion 2019.
The Fusion Awards were held on Saturday July 6 at King George's Hall, Blackburn.
Chan has worked in many roles but is best known for his role as a Strategic Officer with the Bolton Interfaith Council.
It is a role from which he retired this year yet aged 70 he still finds time to volunteer with community groups in his home town. He was elected as Chair for Asian Elders Resource Centre.
He said his journey had always been one where he wanted to create more understanding between cultures, "We have a shared vision where we all live in peace and harmony and build trust."
VIDEO FILMED BY SHAKIL SALAM
Chan was born in Nairobi, Kenya, because of the Mau Mau troubles of the 1960s there, his father sent him and other family members to live in India.
From there at the age of 18, his father sent him and his sister to England, to live with his uncle in Bolton. He studied at Bolton College before working in the textile industry.
He went on to work at the Gas Board for 27 years in a supervisory role and at the Royal bank of Scotland.
Chan had already started volunteering for Age Concern and had begun to appreciate and enjoy the voluntary world and making a difference.
His work at Bolton Inter-faith Council saw him introduce a range of projects including civic events, Black History events and the Bolton Faith Trail which introduces people – especially youngsters – to other religions and helps them understand different beliefs. One of his most memorable projects was Interfaith Young Ambassadors.

He has helped to lead open discussions, presentations, information-sharing and, above all, a coming together of like-minded people to help others.
He said, "No doubt, coming from a rural village in Gujarat, India to UK and settling in Bolton was a bit of shock but having got employment early, I settled soon. As we arrived in February there was a lot of snow and it was very cold and wearing thick coats was strange. One thing for sure, people were helpful and friendly in Bolton."
Chan was presented with award by panel members Rahila Bano and Kailash Parekh MBE
He had this message with regards to Inter-faith work, "As we all know, all our faiths have a common thread inbuilt as humanitarian values of kindness, compassion, empathy, respect, love, tolerance for all mankind. No faith tells you to harm or hurt anyone.
"We also know there are lots of people- doing good work for whole communities in all our faiths in the world.
"We may differ in our ways , but there are far too many things we share in common and hence faith trails and inviting people of other faiths to attend services or events is good way of breaking down the wrong perceptions and barriers in the community."
On his retirement he tells us, "I have to say it was not an easy decision, particularly being involved in such a rewarding work of interfaith. It is a big life change.
"But as we know, time stops for no one and you have to make a sensible judgement and think about family time, things I wanted to do but did not manage, doing it in my own time without pressures but still to maintain community links and be involved as a volunteer for betterment of our society.
"For me, retirement is a new phase in life, opportunities to do and explore new ideas, reflect and enjoy life to the full. One thing for sure one must remain active and positive."

With the launch of the new accessgrid.org portal, the AGDP will shift much of its content to the portal, encourage our volunteer authors to develop content for this new site, and cease to operate as a separate entity. I hope that we can all work together to create excellent content for the new portal, in the same spirit in which we worked together on the AGDP.
I am extremely grateful for and proud of the work done over the past five years by the volunteers who created the AGDP, through their work as authors and reviewers. In particular, I would like to strongly thank Jim Miller, who has led the AGDP Review Team since its inception, and generally been my better and smarter half ever since the launch of the AGDP at the AG Retreat 2001. I would also like to extend special thanks to Tom Uram, Mike Papka, Rick Stevens, and their staff at Argonne National Laboratory -- the AGDP could not have existed without their support and collaboration.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement over the years; I look forward to continuing to work together on the AG, and developing content together for the new portal.

As the House Financial Services Committee today held a hearing on the financial crime, the American Bankers Association joined eight other financial trade organizations in a letter to committee leaders highlighting the need for a national beneficial ownership registry.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network last week released a revised list of the jurisdictions that are subject to countermeasures or enhanced due diligence due to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing deficiencies, as well as jurisdictions with AML/CFT deficiencies that are working to correct them.
The regulatory framework put in place to prevent money laundering and stop the financing of terrorist activity should be updated to reflect the changes that have taken place over the past several decades, banker Lloyd DeVaux, president and CEO of Sunstate Bank in Miami, Fla., said today in a hearing before the House Financial Services Committee.
As part of President Trump's overseas trip, the Treasury Department yesterday announced an agreement to establish a Terrorist Financing Targeting Center as a collaborative effort among the United States and several Persian Gulf nations.
A bipartisan House Financial Services Committee task force today released a report on combating the financing of terror.
The Financial Action Task Force said that the U.S. framework for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism is "well developed and robust" in a report released today.

We forget that it is not only partners, but friends that can be verbally abused. Here is a great answer to this husbands questions about the wife alienating friends. I especially like the last sentence in Annie's advice!
Annie's Mailbox: Wife alienating friends with her anger, verbal abuse | Observer-Reporter: " My wife has a good personality and makes friends easily. The problem is, she does not keep them. If someone rubs her wrong, she flares up in anger. If someone disagrees with her, she verbally abuses them. She also gets involved in everyone else's personal affairs."
"and the law continues to allow the behavior because the lead investigator in this town has known him for over twenty years, so drops his charges every time"
I wanted to cry--this is one of the few times that I would have to say it is not solely in her hands...most of the time Dr. Marshall and myself can see how a person actually "trains" their partner to behave badly--and probably Memory Lane may have in the beginning..but now others are working against her and it will be hard to get better when her partner has the authorities in his back pocket. She MUST seek professional help.
I like this--it gives a form of abuse I never considered before--Identity Abuse--yes--I recognize this one!
Abuse comes in many forms: "Identity abuse — Using personal characteristics to demean, manipulate and control the partner."


I am having so much fun with my Bold Brights card stock and Stampin' Pastels at the moment and couldn't resist sharing my latest birthday card with you – how good do these colours look together?
I've used Pink Passion and Tempting Turquoise Cardstock and Stampin' Pastels as the main colour theme, and repeat stamped the Happy Birthday Wishes from Fun and Fast Notes in Chocolate Chip, missing out the sentiment (stamp on edge of stamp pad) for the end images. Then using applicators I have pasteled the images with Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise, Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore and Not Quite Navy. You might notice that the strip of Eyelet Border at the top is raised on dimensionals – this just gives the card that all important 3rd dimension.
Now I know that colouring with Stampin' Pastels can be time consuming but I find it soooo relaxing and really satisfying when the end product looks like this! As my husband shook his head at me – I just smiled and said "If only I could do this as my full time job I would be in heaven!" Alas mayby one day….
I love this fun, bright card! What a great use of the Fun and Fast Notes set and your Stampin Pastels! Perfect for any fun birthday!
Look forward to stamping with you on Wednesday!


2013 was the year of the domestic bull, with all other asset classes falling short and leading investors to wonder why they should bother allocating money to underperforming asset classes such as bonds, international stocks, and emerging markets. While it is true that an entirely domestic equity portfolio would have been a great call last year, hindsight is 20/20, and a similar allocation this year becomes even more risky as valuations creep higher. Now is the time to employ a disciplined, well-diversified, risk-budgeted portfolio to protect on the downside. Take a look at the chart below that I recreated from a piece done by Pension Partners.
Using the Shiller database that I am so fond of, we can see that the domestic equity market, represented by the S&P 500, is now reaching five year returns close to 150%. This level of return has only been reached six other times in history and these peaks are followed by dramatic losses ranging from -21% to -86%. You can also see, the market has at times continued to surge past this 150% return level and twice has reached 5- year returns just under 300%. Take a look at the dates listed and you will be able to identify major events in U.S. market history, such as the Great Depression and the Tech Bubble.
This paints a pretty gloomy picture. Is it possible that this time will be different, or that the S&P could continue to realize gains up to, or past, levels seen in 1937? Of course it is, and this would leave plenty of room for further growth. However, history and probabilities are a powerful story. I look at this chart and see that while growth may continue a while longer, this is a warning to begin to par expectations from domestic equities and to reallocate undiversified portfolios with heavy bets on the United States. Good news, our portfolio management team has already done this! We have trimmed our domestic outlooks for the next twelve months and have portfolios invested in numerous asset classes. Our portfolios are overweight in alternatives, international, and emerging market equities, which should provide diversification benefits if the market begins to sour. In addition, we are monitoring portfolios to their proprietary risk-budget, keeping risk constant and monitoring over 250 ETF data points every day to make sure we are investing in the best opportunities. 2013 may have been the year of the domestic portfolio, but I say that 2014 is going to be the year of the diversified portfolio!


On Friday May 9th, 2014 we will have a luncheon for our staff. We are asking that you send $2 with your child in an envelope by Wednesday May 7th, 2014. Please send the money in an envelope labeled TA for teacher appreciation. The money can be given to Loretta or Ms Meeka. I will be ordering a special lunch for the staff. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to stop by or give us a call.
Thank you for your support of our wonderful staff!

ABB microgrid to be installed at IIT Roorkee, the oldest technical institution of Asia as part of joint smart campus development
Story | Bangalore India | 2019-01-25
The ABB microgrid is part of the extended R&D collaboration between ABB and IITR to create platforms for research on various aspects of smart city technology deployment
The groundbreaking ceremony of ABB microgrid with battery energy storage at the campus of Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IITR), was held to commence the smart campus development project. This is part of the larger R&D collaboration outlined in an MoU (memorandum of understanding) between ABB and IITR signed in July, 2018. The agreement for technology collaboration also includes the creation of a Smart Grid Resource Center, joint R&D facilities and support for PhD students.
The smart campus development, in addition to the microgrid, would include technology solutions like smart metering, SCADA, ring main unit (RMUs) and a backbone of wireless broadband communication platform. It aims to create an operational smart grid network integrating all sources of energy including diesel generation and renewable energy. Another objective is to create a research platform to meet the requirements of the evolving grid like bi-directional flow of electricity with localized generation and enhance environmental awareness to influence consumer behavior to maximize usage of clean energy. This will serve as one of the pilot projects for Government of India's Smart Cities Mission. The project cost is being partially funded by ABB India under its CSR initiatives.
IIT Roorkee currently has solar PV systems installed at 27 locations across the campus amounting to 1.8 MW of solar generation. When the 11 kV ABB AbilityTM PowerStore microgrid is commissioned in 2020, ABB's advanced microgrid technology will enable the institute to increase the use of renewable energy, identify potential of demand side control, and integrate other power sources. The ABB AbilityTM Microgrid, SCADA, and smart metering will enable complete remote monitoring and maintenance, as well as visualization of overall energy requirements of the campus.
"This is yet another milestone and we are privileged to work with IIT Roorkee to set-up a microgrid in the oldest engineering college campus in the country. With green energy becoming the preferred choice, grid edge technologies such as microgrids are becoming a viable option to harness renewable power for smarter, inclusive and sustainable cities and also to provide access to reliable power in communities, campuses, or in remote or off grid areas," said Pitamber Shivnani, President, Power Grids, ABB India. "This microgrid, along with the smart grid model, that will be set up on campus, will demonstrate the future of power."
IIT Roorkee has done pioneering work in recent years to build an eco-friendly campus using renewable sources. The goal is to become a self-sustaining and zero emission green campus.
"Sustainability through adoption of new technologies has been at the core of all developmental activities at IIT Roorkee. We believe this collaboration with ABB using the IIT Roorkee campus as the hub for R&D on futuristic technologies for smarter, sustainable cities will create many milestones," said Prof. Ajit Chaturvedi, Director of IIT Roorkee. "The microgrid is one such important element and the smart electricity distribution network and management system that we are undertaking will enable us to create a 100 percent green campus and achieve zero carbon dioxide emissions in the long run."
The advanced energy metering solutions will be used for energy accounting, billing and collection process. The metering solution will measure energy supplied by grid and diesel generators in separate registers to apply differential tariff, which will sensitize the campus residents/user community about the cost impact due to diesel consumption. ABB SCADA will offer the operator a centralized view of the grid condition and network snapshot. It will also enable power restoration swiftly from the central control, achieving minimum duration for power outage, thus improving availability. Retrofit of the ring main unit (RMU) will enable remote switching operation from the central command center and minimize people movement for manual switching. The wireless broadband communication backbone will pave the way to integrate other services on a common platform, which will be on the lines of an operating model of a smart city.
ABB (ABBN: SIX Swiss Ex) is a pioneering technology leader in power grids, electrification products, industrial automation and robotics and motion, serving customers in utilities, industry and transport & infrastructure globally. Continuing a history of innovation spanning more than 130 years, ABB today is writing the future of industrial digitalization with two clear value propositions: bringing electricity from any power plant to any plug and automating industries from natural resources to finished products. As title partner in ABB Formula E, the fully electric international FIA motorsport class, ABB is pushing the boundaries of e-mobility to contribute to a sustainable future.

Q: CSS Style not being applied in Javascript If I have the following html added statically the CSS style is applied correctly
HTML:

      box

However if I do the following in Javascript to dynamically render the HTML the CSS does not seem to get applied.
JavaScript:
element.innerHTML += "
" +
                        "" +
                           "" +
                           "" + $.get("/" + i + "/getName") +"" +
                        "" +
                     "
";

The list shows, but without the CSS styling.
Any suggestions?

A:
"" + $.get("/" + i + "/getName") +"" +

get is asynchronous method. This addition is wrong.

A: The problem was with how I was using the Isotope Javascript library.  The way I was adding the content was bypassing it.
After reading their documentation, I was able to get it to work properly.
I used the following instead
$.get("/connectorCount", function(data){
    for (var i = 0; i < data; i++)
    {
        var $newItems = $('
  ' + $.get("/" + i + "/getName") + '
');
        $('.connectors').isotope('insert', $newItems);
    }
    refreshSearch(data);
});

Investors spooked by report China could curtail U.S. government bond purchases

Investors spooked by report China could curtail U.S. government bond purchases Wall Street reacts to report that China, the biggest holder of U.S. government bonds, might start selling. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2CX0qCZ
Adam Shell, USA TODAY Published 12:00 p.m. ET Jan. 10, 2018 | Updated 7:53 p.m. ET Jan. 10, 2018
Balancing a retirement and college savings can be overwhelming. Here are 6 tips that will help ease the long-term planning. USA TODAY
Investors monitor stock prices in a brokerage house in Beijing on Jan. 2, 2018.(Photo: Mark Schiefelbein, AP)
Financial markets were jolted Wednesday by a report that China — the biggest foreign holder of U.S. government bonds — could curtail its purchases, a shift that has spooked investors already leery of a rise in interest rates at the start of 2018.
Bloomberg News, citing unnamed people close to the matter, said Chinese officials are considering slowing — or even stopping — its purchases of U.S. government debt. The report suggests that China feels U.S. debt is becoming less attractive when compared to other types of investments. Trade tensions between the world's two largest economies was also cited as a possible reason why China is thinking about reducing its U.S. holdings, according to Bloomberg.
"If the reports turn out to be true and China no longer sees Treasuries as an attractive option, the repercussions could be significant," says Craig Erlam, senior market strategist at OANDA, a currency trading firm with offices in New York. "A significant change in policy could put considerable upside pressure on U.S. yields."
Low interest rates, of course, have been a big driver of the stock market rally the past nine years and has also provided a lift to the economy, as middle-class Americans have benefited from lower borrowing costs.
At the end of October 2017, China held $1.19 trillion of U.S. Treasuries, the most of any foreign country, according to the latest data from the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board. Japan was second with U.S. bond holdings worth $1.09 trillion.
The fear is that, at a time when the Federal Reserve has started reducing its holdings of U.S. debt (coupled with news that Japan is reducing its Treasury purchases and China might follow suit), there will be less demand for U.S. debt. And that fewer buyers will result in higher interest rates and borrowing costs in the U.S.

Bond investors would also get hurt because falling bond prices is the cause of higher yields.
But Erlam says it is too "early to speculate" on the likelihood that China will "suddenly" reduce its holdings. What's more, he adds, it is likely that China would tread carefully if it does opt to sell U.S. Treasuries so as not to "destabilize the markets."
The financial market reaction to the Bloomberg report was swift. The price of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell, with the yield, which moves in the opposite direction, climbing as high as 2.598%, its highest level since March 14, 2017. It finished unchanged at 2.55%.
Stocks also dipped, with the Dow Jones industrial average closing down 17 points, recovering nearly all of its losses after an earlier drop of nearly 129 points.
Interest rates had already been rising to start 2018, as investors begin to price in prospects for faster U.S. growth, more interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve and rising inflation pressures, in part due to rising wages as the job market tightens further.
"You already had this backdrop of rising rates and people are getting nervous," says Boris Rjavinski, senior interest rate strategist at Wells Fargo Securities in New York. "And when you get another story like China, a major holder of U.S. Treasuries possibly stepping back from the market, it adds to the overall bearish trend in the Treasury market."
Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at The Leuthhold Group, a money-management firm in Minneapolis, says China is more likely eyeing sales of U.S. bonds for the same reason investors in the U.S. and elsewhere are: Fear that inflation is on the rise and will erode the value of fixed-income investments.
"This happens every time rates go up," Paulsen explains. "Everyone (that owns U.S. Treasuries) is worried that they will get killed if (prices fall and rates rise), so they lighten up on their exposure to these bonds,"
Still, Rjavinski stresses that it is "premature" to think that yields are on the verge of a sharp spike higher and that the multi-decade bull market in bonds is over and a bear market has begun.
The key question is whether it is in China's best interest to sell U.S. Treasuries as an opening salvo in what could become a trade war, analysts say.
"Would the Chinese risk losing their investments in the U.S. market to make a political statement, particularly when their holdings are most likely targeted for broader investments in the U.S.?" says Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial.

In that shed, a team of local beer enthusiasts carefully and skilfully craft bottles, jugs and kegs of Matutu beer, the Cook Islands' only local craft beer.
Owned by two Cook Islands families, Matutu Brewing Company is a family business that has been brewing its locally loved beer for 12 years.
Eric Newnham, his sister Chrissie Newnham and his wife Nadine Newnham, along with James Puati and his wife Debi Futter are the masterminds behind the operation.
Taking part in one of their popular tours, customers and beer enthusiasts will learn that Puati and Newnham knew nothing about brewing when they first established Matutu over a decade ago.
Matutu, which means "strong" in Cook Islands Maori, certainly describes the brewers.
In New Zealand, Newnham and Puati met with Futter's cousin, Carl Vasta – founder of top Kiwi Brewery Tuatara.
The pair spent a week brewing, learning some of the tricks of the trade.
Due to Tuatara's growing success, Vasta decided to upgrade to a bigger brewery. He sold it to Newnham and Puati and the family dismantled the existing equipment, shipped it to Rarotonga and assembled it in their beloved Tikioki shed, setting the brewery up exactly as it had been on the Kapiti Coast near Wellington.
"Right down to the millimetre," Newnham says.
Vasta flew back to the Cook Islands some weeks later and checked the boys were coping with their new brewery and even helped with recipe development, something Newnham says truly proves Matutu is a family-orientated business.
To this day Newnham and Puati regularly call Vasta for advice, and even collaborated with him in 2014 to produce a coconut vanilla stout, a crafty infusion that marked James's 50th birthday.
In addition to churning out 600 to 1200 litre batches of pure gold, the small brewery has won a bronze medal for their Maeva Ale.
The award-winning India pale ale, was made especially by Matutu to celebrate the Cook Islands 50th year of self-governance in association with New Zealand.
2015 was a big year for Matutu Brewery, with the team receiving a Trip Advisor certificate of excellence. The award relies on customer feedback, whereby countless customers left Matutu brewery impressed and pleased, making Matutu Brewery the 10th most popular tourist attraction in Rarotonga, according to Trip Advisor.
The Maeva Ale, along with the Matutu's two baseline brews, Mai Lager and Kiva Pale Ale, are available at restaurants and bars all around Rarotonga.
Their newest creation is a salted caramel beer that appeals to those with a sweet tooth and has captured the hearts of beer lovers around the island.
This brew can be purchased at the Islander Hotel, LBV in Muri and other resorts around the island.
Matutu, who go by their "No Crap Added" slogan, add no artificial sugar or preservatives to their beer.
Puati and Newnham both like to keep the company "green", and offer 10c off each bottle purchased with their next order, to customers who return their Matutu bottles with the labels still intact.
It is clear the Matutu boys are making some big waves in an industry dominated by big corporations – or "the big boys" as Eric refers to them.
The pair not only brew and craft Matutu beer out of pure enjoyment, but also pride themselves on their Cook Islands roots, and ability to represent their slice paradise in a business that is becoming increasingly popular around the world.
The Matutu family, along with the company's feline friend Tutu, invite everyone to the brewery to take a tour, sip or guzzle a glass of beer or even stop by for a yarn about the marvels of beer.
Tours are held at 12noon and 1pm daily and bookings are encouraged.
For more information, head to matutubeer.com, call 682 26288 or pop in to the brewery, located inland, after Rumours Waterfall and Spa.

Five-Year Strategy
Working With People, Communities And Organizations.
Brooke launched an ambitious global strategy in April 2016 which sets the organizational priorities and plans for the next five years.
The lives and welfare of people and animals are intertwined. Over 100 million working horses, donkeys and mules provide invaluable support to daily life for an estimated 600 million people (eight percent of the world's population) in some of the poorest places in the world, through haulage, transportation and production. Healthy working horses, donkeys and mules help to put food on their tables, send their children to school and build better futures for themselves and their families.
Learn More About Our Global Strategy
Brooke will always treat an animal in need but the sheer scale of the cause means that thinking bigger and smarter is paramount.
2015/16 was a transitional year to refine Brooke's global infrastructure and complete the implementation of an improved operating model and in 2017, Brooke commenced the implementation of its effectiveness framework to accurately measure its impact on working equine welfare. By 2018, Brooke will have completed its global roll out.
As well as continuing to reduce the immediate suffering of the world's most vulnerable working horses, donkeys and mules, Brooke's new strategic goals are to achieve global impact and sustainable improvement. This drive for large-scale lasting change will be supported through further embedding advocacy with local, regional and national governments to develop policies that promote the recognition of the role of working horses, donkeys and mules in developing countries and protect their welfare.
Brooke knows that the welfare of a working animal depends on the people that own and use the animal. In recent years, Brooke has been delivering an increasing amount of community training and support to share better welfare practices.
Brooke relieves the immediate suffering of working equines and creates lasting change by working with people, communities and organizations.
Brooke will build animal welfare capacity in all the countries in which it has field operations. Brooke will continue to learn from its programmers and from others to further evidence, refine and promote equine welfare with partners around the world.
Brooke's Strategic Goals
To help more working animals in need in more places around the world.
Sustainable Improvement
To make lasting change by working with a wide range of people and organizations that can directly or indirectly improve the lives of working animals.
Brooke's Strategic Objectives
Increase the scale and reach of our work with animals
More working horses, donkeys and mules in greatest need will be reached.
Policies and laws will change to make a positive difference to working horses, donkeys and mules.
Recognition of contribution of working horses, donkeys and mules to livelihoods will be improved.
Partnership and collaboration with other organizations will be increased to extend our reach.
Grow income and awareness to increase impact
A diverse funding portfolio will deliver increased annual net income.
Cost income ratios will be more efficient.
External audiences and potential donors will know more about Brooke.
Deliver programs to Brooke standards
Empowered communities will make change happen through collaboration, shared learning and specialist expertise.
Sustainable health, farriers and other services that people can rely on will be available long after we have gone.
Policy-makers' perspectives will be changed with evidence and advocacy.
Research and learning will further strengthen our approach.
Increase accountability to donors and beneficiaries
Ability to measure impact in the short and long term will be improved through implementation of a robust and systematic monitoring and evaluation system.
Plans that rest on accurate and transparent data will increase effectiveness and efficiency.
Sustained welfare improvements after exit will be evidenced.
Optimal use of available resources will maximize value.

Why not come and meet some of our amazing residents in person? Schedule your personal tour and lunch by filling out our request form.
We invite you to take a moment to get to know just a few of the amazing people who call The Chesapeake home.
Louise Marchello
"Life is good at The Chesapeake."
One could say it was meant to be. Louise had friends who were living at The Chesapeake, so she decided to take a look at the community for herself.
She fell in love with one cottage in particular, though soon learned someone else had "first dibs." Louise decided to make a deposit anyway, and was excited when she received the news that "her" cottage had become available.
Upon moving in, Louise, who was widowed six years earlier, wasted no time in getting involved in life at The Chesapeake. Freed from all the chores of home maintenance that once consumed her time, Louise now enjoys having time to do all the things she wants — including serving as a member of the Residents' Council, the Wellness Committee and the Dining Committee. She also volunteers at The Chesapeake's concierge desk. "The carefree lifestyle really is important," she says. "When there's a problem, I just call maintenance. I have a very nice home here."
Louise also enjoys The Chesapeake's great location in Newport News and the convenience of having so much to do right on campus. She takes advantage of yoga classes and participates in water aerobics three times a week in The Chesapeake's indoor saltwater pool. She's also an avid reader and enjoys cooking in her cottage's well-appointed kitchen. "I have eclectic tastes," she says of her culinary interests. "I'll try making just about anything — especially savory dishes."
Residents can take advantage of the community's restaurant-style dining if they choose and also cook in their own kitchens when they prefer. Louise notes that meals are an important time for socializing. "It's a pleasure to socialize with other diners," she says. "I was lonely before I came to The Chesapeake, but here, one can meet so many new people with new perspectives. And if you want solitude, you can find that, too. It's nice to have the choice."
When asked what advice she'd give to those considering a move to The Chesapeake, Louise says to make the decision as young as you can. "I'm glad I came when I did," she says. "I was 66 years of age. So many people come too late — waiting until their health is failing — and they can't enjoy the community as fully as I've been able to. It's been a wonderful decision."
Leroy Hubbard
Soldier, musician, artist, educator
The Chesapeake is home to many interesting people, including veterans like Leroy. In addition to his military service, music, art and education have played big roles in Leroy's life – taking him across town and around the world.
He now finds himself at The Chesapeake and says he couldn't be happier. Born in Petersburg, Virginia, Leroy came from a musical family. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was assigned to play trumpet in the Navy band. During the war, he was stationed on Mogmog Island, a tiny island in the Marianas that served as a recreation base for Navy personnel. There, he helped entertain the soldiers and lighten their spirits.
After the war, Leroy returned home to Virginia and, thanks to the GI Bill, was able to enroll in college, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in art and a master's degree in administration. He worked for 30 years in the Hampton school system, teaching art to junior high and high school students, and later serving as an administrator.
Twice widowed, Leroy learned about The Chesapeake during a chance encounter at a teacher's meeting. He decided to check it out for himself and discovered this was the place for him. "The Chesapeake feels like a family of people like me. Everything is so well-coordinated and the people are very friendly."
He also enjoys the dining experience. "The food is superb. When I was in college, I was a waiter in some very nice hotels, so I know good food. And even though we don't tip the wait staff, the service is excellent. Everyone is attentive and eager to please." Now that he's settled in, Leroy is looking forward to participating in the many activities offered at The Chesapeake. He says he even may start painting again.
Dick and Rite Rountree
Enjoying the good life.
Dick happily declares that life at The Chesapeake is "a lazy, nice life." But one look at his calendar, and that of his wife, Rite, will let you know that this couple and their lifestyles are active, independent and energetic.
Always on the go, Rite volunteers at her local church, as well as in The Chesapeake's gift shop. She plays duplicate bridge, swims at least once a week, works out in the fitness center, and serves on The Chesapeake's Hospitality Committee. "I'm always surprised to see all the new things people are doing here," she exclaims, noting the impressively wide array of activities that residents take part in – from art classes, musical performances and educational talks to fitness classes, day trips and longer excursions.
With so much going on, Rite says she's very happy that The Chesapeake's apartments, amenities and health care are all under one roof. "I can walk everywhere inside; I'm never isolated in my home. When the weather's bad, I can go to the dining room, to the pool or visit a friend, without ever having to get wet or hot or cold outside."
For his part, Dick serves on The Chesapeake's Buildings and Grounds Committee. He also enjoys playing tennis, walking, volunteering at his local church, and simply taking it easy. "The social life here is nice. We enjoy eating with other couples. The people here just really are so nice."
The couple made the decision to move to The Chesapeake after observing Rite's mother and the secure lifestyle she enjoyed at a CCRC in Tennessee. They were attracted not only to the worry-free lifestyle and abundance of choices in activities and programming, but also to the peace of mind afforded by knowing that a full continuum of health care services is available if needed. They remember how much easier it was for them, knowing that Rite's mother was being well taken care of. When it came time to plan for their own retirement, Dick says, "Rite was tired of cooking, and I was tired of taking care of the yard. Plus, we didn't want to burden our children as we got older."
Rite echoes Dick's sentiment: "I think people should move in while they're still able to make their own decisions. Plus, if you wait too long, you'll miss all the fun!"
So with so much going on, why does Dick describe the lifestyle as "lazy"? That's easy. The only thing he and Rite have to do is whatever they want to do.

Q: Make Complex arithmetic the default within a Clojure project you've been spectacularly helpful to me so far, I hope you can help me get my mind around this one. I am building a project that does computations with complex matrices. I have been using mikera/core.matrix.complex, which uses mikera/core.matrix for matrix stuff, and complex.core for defining complex numbers in clojure.
I want to be able to do any and all arithmetic, including using irrational numbers like e (def e (Math/E)) and pi (def pi (Math/PI)), and including matrix math that may or may not be complex. The problem comes when I mix functions from different libraries.
Right now my namespace looks like this:
(ns qgame.utils.math
(:require
        [clojure.walk :as w :refer [postwalk
                                    prewalk]]
        [clojure.core.matrix :as mat]
        [clojure.core.matrix.complex :as compl]
        [incanter.core :as ic]
        [complex.core :as c :refer [+ - / *]]))

If I do (mat/mmul matrix1 matrix2), then everything is treated as a regular number, and using complex numbers messes it up. I get a lot of ClassCastException org.apache.commons.math3.complex.Complex cannot be cast to java.lang.Number. If I just require core.matrix.complex without requiring core.matrix, then none of the matrix functions work.
The same goes for stuff like (+ 3 4). If I directly (use 'complex.core) in a repl, then that will evaluate to (7.0, 0.0), which is what I want, otherwise it just comes out as 7.
I feel like I'm making this more complicated than it is, the core.matrix.complex looks like it has extensions for everything in core.matrix and clojure.core, but it doesn't utilize it with the namespace declaration that I have. I'm not that familiar with Clojure protocols, so there is definitely something that I am missing. I just want all three libraries to be included, and to have any and all math be done in the context of complex numbers, i.e 1 = (1.0, 0.0), and (Math/exp (* pi (complex 0 1)) => (-1.0, 0.0)
How can I go about doing this? Sorry if I'm not being clear, I'll try and clear up any questions people have about what I'm asking.
Edit: I've been thinking about the problem, and really the best place to start is the last equation that I listed: Getting e^pi*i to equal -1. If I try to use Math/exp with complex numbers, I get a casting exception.

A: I'm not familiar with core.matrix.complex but here are some points you are probably not aware of. This is technically not an answer but it's too long to fix in a comment.

*

*core.matrix defined a set of API, in the form of protocols, defined here.

*core.matrix.complex does not extend all protocols to complex matrices. For example, the mat/mmul defined here relies on the protocol PMatrixMultiply. But this protocol is not extended to complex matrices.

*(+ 3 4) returns (7.0, 0.0) after use-ing complex.core because complex.core rewrote the function/operator +. But I doubt whether you should refer these operators. complex.core is merely a thin wrapper around org.apache.commons.math3.complex.Complex and it knows nothing about matrices. Perhaps you'll be better off using functions/operators in core.matrix API like add.
