Q: How to create a previous/next button algorithm? I am building a site with repetitive names for pages like this:
 thesame/thesame/1-1.html
 thesame/thesame/1-2.html
 thesame/thesame/1-3.html

first number is the chapter number and the second is page number ,I need to insert a previous/next buttons, the next button add 1 to current href and redirect (if you are in page 1-1.html it add 1 so takes you to page 1-2.html and then 1-3.html) and a previous button subtract 1 from the current href.
I tried the following but affects the first number (the chapter numper not page number):
 var p = (window.location.href.split('/')[window.location.href.split('/').length-1].split('.')[0].split('-')[0]*1)+1;

this is a demo
<!DOCTYPE html>

Click the button to locate where in the string a specifed value  occurs.

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

any ideas?

A: Better to do like this:

next
prev

Pass the chapter number as argument of next and prev functions
If you do not like to use function call then use it:
for next button:
 0 && p <= maxp) ? '1-'+ p + '.html' : '#'">next

for previous button:
 0 && p <= maxp) ? '1-' + p + '.html' : '#'">prev

here maxp is the last page index

I am a single parent of three children and we run on a very tight budget. When I awakened around 5:50 am on June 26, 2005 I found my cat Leo meowing, not his usual meow, and twitching. Then he slide off my bed and in the basket at the foot of my bed where he laid very still. Thinking that he might be dying I started calling as many vets I could that might be open so early and on a Sunday finally finding one. My children and I got in the car with Leo and drove to the vet.( I don't leave my kids without a sitter). When we got there we told the vet that we had given him Hartz flea medication.The vet nodded his head and said that Leo's seizure and the twitching plus the loss of control of his left paw was caused by the Hartz flea medication. Then as the doctor was about to start his IV, Leo had more seizures. What a horrible sight for my kids to see . My kids and I were frightened. Then the doctor rushed Leo into the back room while still suffering from the seizures and quickly got him on muscle relaxers. Then the assistant vet came out will the bill. She said depending on how many more seizures Leo had the cost could be any where from $519 dollars to $979 dollars plus the fee just to bring him in and the injections they had already given him. I only had $270 dollars to give to vet. I had to borrow money from my children. Then I had to borrow money from other people too. I think that the Hartz company should not be allowed to l product that can cause seizures or even kill an animal. If I had known what a Hartz porduct could do I would have never bought their product and I wouldn't have to pay such a hefty fee. There is also the poor animals trauma as well as ours. Putting the cat to sleep was not an option. Hopefully Leo will make it through healthy and in no pain.

Dundee Regional Performance Centre
This ambitious project will provide superb sporting facilities alongside an energy centre that will make a significant contribution to our vision of Dundee as a sustainable city."
Councillor John Alexander | Dundee City Council Leader
spent with local SMEs
workforce within 40 miles of site
Providing athletes and the wider Dundee community with a new, top-class training and competition venue, catering to a wide range of sports.
Funded in part through a grant from Sport Scotland, the new complex enables all-weather training for athletes and plays a key part in raising the profile of Dundee as a Centre of Excellence for Sport, whilst putting health and wellbeing at the centre of the community.
It also included the creation of an innovative, state-of-the-art £5 million Energy Centre consisting of multiple renewable technologies, which provides the council with district heating capability and more energy-efficient structures. This element of the project has benefitted from the first award of ERDF Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme (LCITP) funding of £3 million, and won the Carbon Reduction Award at the 2019 Scottish Green Energy Awards.
The complex is home to a new indoor athletics centre with an 80m running straight to provide all-weather training, as well as an eight court multi-sports hub building with spectator seating, a strength and conditioning suite and a state-of-the-art sports science suite.
It has an indoor, full size 3G pitch for football and rugby, designed to meet stringent FIFA compliance standards, as well as an outdoor 3G combined grass pitch.
The existing athletics track at Caird Park has been resurfaced and upgraded to include a covered spectator area and the centre includes high standard facilities for onsite medical teams and physios, as well as sport science support roles.
The project also included associated parking, fencing and infrastructure work, to ensure the centre is safe, secure and easily accessible for all members of the community, including those who play disability sports.
From the outset, a key requirement was to ensure that the commissioning of the Energy Centre was achieved in time for the council to obtain £250,000 of LCITP and Scottish Government funding. As a result, innovative solutions had to be found to challenges which had the potential to affect the progress of the Energy Centre works, and enable completion within a strict 15 month timeframe.
Constructing the borefield presented numerous challenges, such as overcoming ground obstructions to the planned bores and ensuring compliance with Scottish Environment Protection (SEPA) regulations.
As the premise of the centre is a hub for future regional sporting talent, it was crucial to collaborate closely with Dundee City Council's design specification to ensure each of the sporting facilities met the high-quality standards set, and that they were within competition criteria in terms of build specification.
Working closely with GIE, the energy centre specialist subcontactor on this project, Balfour Beatty were able to accelerate aspects of the Energy Centre works and increase planned resources as necessary to both offset the issues encountered with the borefield and to mitigate the associated delays.
Throughout the project, Balfour Beatty worked closely with local suppliers and subcontractors to provide real sustainable benefit to the local economy. Additionally, £7,400 was invested to support the delivery of the "Design, Engineer, Construct!" programme at Harris Academy – a new qualification which enables young people to develop a range of skills and knowledge that is fundamental to successful engagement in the technical and professional aspects construction.
Engaging with the supply chain
Working with an expert supply chain was vital for successful delivery due to the specialist nature of a number of work packages. These included the tensile fabric structures constructed for the indoor 3G pitch and athletics building, the energy centre, the structural steelwork and precast stairs, roofing and cladding, the interior fit out including fixed furniture, benches and lockers as well as a FIFA standard artificial pitch installation.
The renewable Energy Centre will generate geothermal energy, providing hot water for the sports centre, athletics building and a future district heating main. The electricity generated from solar panels located on the building's roof will fuel the ventilator system.
In recognition of the Energy Centre's positive impact on the environment, the project won the Carbon Reduction Award at the 2019 Scottish Green Energy Awards, which is a truly fantastic achievement. We are also delighted to have assisted Dundee City Council in implementing their focus on minimising ongoing maintenance costs through the use of a robust and renewable sustainable energy strategy.
One of our main aims is to develop a world-class sporting system in Scotland and that's been going on for a number of years now. The Regional Performance Centre in Dundee is a piece of that jigsaw.
Graham Finnie, Lead Manager of Facilities
Sport Scotland
The Regional Performance Centre will complement Dundee's existing facilities, enabling greater access for local clubs, communities, individuals as well as for elite athletes. This means there will be increased opportunities for children and adults from all backgrounds to get involved in sport and physical activity which is something we particularly welcome.

Checking up on the imams
Turkey's religious authority surrenders to political Islam
The Diyanet thinks Bitcoin is immoral but divorce by text message is fine
EuropeJan 18th 2018 edition
TURKEY's directorate of religious affairs, known as the Diyanet, has a knack for odd and outrageous pronouncements. The body had already made it known that celebrating the new year, playing the lottery, feeding dogs at home, and purchasing Bitcoin were incompatible with the principles of Islam; men should not dye their moustaches, nor couples hold hands. (Divorcing one's spouse by text message, however, is OK.) But when the Diyanet declared, in a glossary entry spotted on its website at the start of this year, that according to Islamic law girls as young as nine were able to marry, the ensuing outcry was bigger than in recent memory. Some critics called for the institution to close. The Diyanet protested that it was only cataloguing, not endorsing, principles laid down by Islamic jurists, and soundly condemned child marriage in a sermon. (The legal age in Turkey is 18.) The offending post was taken down.
To critics of the Diyanet the incident, the latest in a series of controversies, offered yet more evidence of the directorate's transformation. Over the past decade, and especially amid the purges that followed a coup attempt in 2016, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist-rooted Justice and Development (AK) party have tightened their grip on state institutions, restricting dissent within and without. The Diyanet has been no exception. Designed as a check against political Islam, the directorate has become one of its main platforms.
In constitutional terms, Turkey is a secular country. But whereas in most places this implies the separation of religion and state, in Turkey it means state control over religion. Enter the Diyanet. The brainchild of modern Turkey's founding father, Kemal Ataturk, and his supporters, the directorate replaced the office of the Sheikh ul-Islam as the country's main religious authority on March 3rd 1924, the day parliament abolished the Ottoman caliphate. A bureaucratic behemoth, the Diyanet employs all of Turkey's imams, organises Koran courses for children, issues its own, nonbinding interpretations of Islamic norms, and pens sermons to be read in the country's 90,000 mosques.
For most of its history, the Diyanet has accommodated the politics of the secular establishment, embracing a version of Islam at ease with modernity, and keeping fundamentalism at bay. (Support for sharia in Turkey is considerably lower than in most of the Muslim world.) Under AK, however, it seems less bound by secular norms than ever before. "The Diyanet of today has a more Islamist, more Arab worldview," says Mustafa Cagrici, the mufti of Istanbul from 2003 to 2011. Much of this has to do with the influx of hardline interpretations of Islam from abroad and Turkey's budding relations with foreign Islamist groups.
Despite a few early signs to the contrary, the moderate, critical current within the Diyanet has folded under increasing pressure from hardliners. In 2004 the Diyanet announced a project to verify and reinterpret the hadith, or the collected words and acts of the Prophet Muhammad, in a modern light. Following grumblings by powerful Islamic brotherhoods and conservatives inside AK, the fruit of the Diyanet's labours, a seven-volume study far less ambitious than its designers intended, took a decade to appear, and did so to minimal fanfare. Asked if a similar project might even be started today, Mr Cagrici throws back his head. "No way," he says. The Diyanet is bigger (it employs 117,000 people) and wealthier (its budget has grown at least fourfold since 2006) than at any time in its history, but it is also more firmly under the government's thumb.
For almost a century, the Diyanet has walked a fine line to help safeguard Turkey's identity as a country that is both Muslim and secular. By starting to endorse a reading of Islam that is at odds with what are still the laws of the state it serves, it now appears to be veering off course. Turkey is not about to become a theocracy. But the heterodox, tolerant Islam that has set it apart from much of the Middle East is under threat. Despite its original purpose, the Diyanet is not helping.

Glee: Journey - Review
Here we are again. Another finale. This time it's a little different. The full season 1 has ended and there is no doubt that there will be a season 2 or 3. We can just sit back and enjoy it.
There were several doubts coming into this episode: Did they do enough in between. Did they develop enough. Did they squander episodes where story could've been enriched. Would the Journey number be overkill. All that was tossed out the window as soon as the episode started. This episode captured the joy of the pilot, and the sense of longing for more as did the 13th episode at sectionals.
Several story lines were put to bed and the hope of a new beginning was planted. Every character in this show from Sue Sylvester to Emma Pillsbury showed that there are no saints or sinners. Only shades of everything culminating in a whole.
Dianna Agron once again proved her strength in anchoring the emotional embodiment of the Glee club. If any of the club members are nominated for anything in the next award season, it should be her. In what seems to be a lifetime ago I said before any other bloggers that Jane Lynch would be a nominations machine. I do so now with Dianna Agron. Her star potential is too much to ignore at this point in the game. Her acting has just as much surreal maturity and connectivity as Lea Michele does with her voice. Lea Michele of course has been the more celebrated of the two but Agron's contribution to the heart and soul of this show cannot be discounted.
Speaking of contributions that cannot be ignored; if Lea Michele is the driver for the New Directions bus, Amber Riley is the engine. Her solid performances as a singer as well as an actress provide bridge between those 2 aspects of the show. Heather Morris has become quite the surprise as well. I could watch her dance for days, but her impact as a comedic insert was a welcome addition.
All in all, everything is as it should be. The Glee club didn't get the easy out, Sue shows more colors to herself, Emma complicates things for the future, Finn shows a backbone, and Quinn Fabray tears our hearts out. Everyone's aged, everyone's grown and everyone has scars.
Bring on season 2.

What Are The Six Things You Need To Know When Picking Up A Prescription?
Busy bees; aren't we all. Often, when picking up a prescription at the local pharmacy, many simply pay, and head out the door without a second thought. Others may order their prescriptions from an online or mail order pharmacy.
When picking up a prescription – even refills – it's important to double-check the process to ensure you're receiving the proper medication and instructions.
1 – If you have obtained a hard-copy prescription, make certain that you're able to read it. Whether it's printed or written by hand, it's important to double-check that it is for the medication you have agreed on, at the dosage you require. Pay mind to micrograms (mcg), milligrams (mg) and other variables. Understand what the different pharmaceutical abbreviations, like bid (twice daily) or bt (before bedtime) mean. While most of us have heard the jokes regarding illegible prescriptions, it can prove dangerous if the pharmacy is unable to determine what the doctor has transcribed.
2 – When picking up a specialty compounding refill, double-check the name just to make certain it's yours. Mistakes can happen… don't continue the cycle.
3 – Shop smart. Sometimes a pharmacy will charge less for a retail prescription than one with a co-pay. If you pay out of pocket, you may be able to save a buck or two! You can also ask for generic (if available) over brand-name medications.
4 – If your physician is altering the dose or changing your prescription in any way, be sure to check the label upon receipt. This applies whether you are picking up in person or receiving a compounding Rx online refill through the mail.
5 – Each time you receive a new prescription or refill, check the bottle to confirm that the label information matches up with the drug you were prescribed. It's also recommended that patients open the bottle to estimate whether they have received the correct number of capsules or pills.
6 – Read the pharmacy insert, and get to know the ingredients, dyes and fillers used in the drug you are taking. Many patients simply forgo reading about the side effects of the prescriptions they take, and don't realize that their perceived symptoms can actually be signs of under or overmedication, sensitivity to ingredients or an allergic reaction associated with the prescription.

Borgo Conventi wines? Order Borgo Conventi wines easy and safely!
A rich landowner of noble origins, a friar and a piece of land on which to build the first monastery in the area of Farra d'Isonzo … this is how the ancient legend that gave the estate its name came into existence. A more recent story begins in 1975 with the establishment of Borgo Conventi and with the promise to produce fine and elegant wines. A commitment, reasserted in 2001 when the estate was acquired by the Folonari family, which translated into a boost in production while maintaining utmost respect for the tradition and the origins.
The sediments left behind by the flooding of the River Isonzo enrich the soil of the fields along its course. And the vineyards of the Tenuta Borgo Conventi estate are nurtured by the mineral rich soil of the right bank of the river. Thanks to the varied microclimate of the area, in 1985 Borgo Conventi chose to plant vineyards of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Friulano, Sauvignon, Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Varieties of grapes that yield young fresh wines that recall the scents of wild flowers.

"Language can never adequately render the cosmic symbolism of music, because music stands in symbolic relation to the primordial contradiction and primordial pain in the heart of the primal unity, and therefore symbolizes a sphere which is beyond and prior to all phenomena. Rather, all phenomena, compared with it, are merely symbols: hence language, as the organ and symbol of phenomena, can never by any means disclose the innermost heart of music; language, in its attempt to imitate it, can only be in superficial contact with music; while all the eloquence of lyric poetry cannot bring the deepest significance of the latter one step nearer to us."
Media fills the spaces in our lives that nothing else can or will. Escapism is a valuable tool that often transcends value. While we enjoy the fruits of artistic labor, legal rules clash with our primordial relation to art. As technology allows the dissemination of media across the globe, the artist seems both empowered and conquered. At the Entertainment & Media Law Society, we seek to parse these issues through discussion and debate.
The City of Portland is home to one of the most unique communities of creatives anywhere in the world. We seize the opportunity to help our city through fundraising, volunteer, and pro-bono work. Placing emphasis being placed on mediums, artists, and communities that need legal representation and are underrepresented in traditional spaces. The Entertainment & Media Law Society will center our annual goals around these engagements.
Whether you have a passion for art, music, dance, sports, stand-up comedy, instagram influencers, or industrial design this club wants to use our passion for change and support. By starting in a subject matter that we know and care for intimately, our work in the community can be even more powerful.
Our group is open to all and we broadly define "Entertainment and Media" to help students engage with the topics that are important to them.


Earlier this month, my husband and I had the opportunity to attend an incredible conference in Toronto with a bunch of other 'heart-centered entrepreneurs'. We heard from thought leaders like Simon Sinek, Danielle Laport, and Lewis Howes to name just a few.
We also got to hear from Naveen Jain who is an entrepreneur and philanthropist drive to solve the world's biggest challenges through innovation. Jain is the founder of a company called Moon Express – the only company to have permission from the US government to leave earth orbit and land on the moon. Jain's company is working to develop technologies to harvest planetary resources on the moon in order to develop infrastructure to make humanity a multi-planetary society.
To me this is just incredible – Jain is not an engineer, or an astronaut, or trained in anything related to leaving earth orbit. He just has big dreams and sees an opportunity to make humanity a multi-planetary society.
So – what is your moonshot? What are you working on? Does it set your soul on fire?

Bret Michaels went under the knife in a Phoenix, Ariz. hospital on Monday — and he's recovering well.
Surgeons at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center worked to repair a hole in the rocker's heart — one that's been there since birth, but was discovered just last April, when Michaels, 47, was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage.

A hospital spokesperson told the Associated Press that the surgery was successful, and that the Celebrity Apprentice 3 champ is recuperating in the intensive care unit. During the procedure, doctors inserted a catheter into a vein in Michaels' vein with a permanent closure device to prevent the abnormal flow of blood between two chambers of his heart.

Turkey sees sharp decline in virus cases thanks to vaccine drive
in World News, Europe
The number of COVID-19 cases, people being treated in hospitals for the coronavirus and patients in intensive care units (ICU) declined across Turkey in the span of a week after the country's vaccination drive against the outbreak began gaining momentum.
"The end of the pandemic comes with vaccines. Get your vaccine to look at tomorrow more confidently than today," Turkey's Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter, disclosing the number of average cases per population of 100,000 on a provincial basis.
The first three provinces with the highest decrease in the number of cases in the last week were the Black Sea province of Gümüşhane, the Central Anatolian province of Eskişehir and the Black Sea province of Artvin, according to the weekly cases' data shared by Koca for June 26 and July 2.
The figures also showed that the weekly number of COVID-19 cases decreased in the capital Ankara and İzmir, while it increased in Istanbul, the country's most crowded metropolis with an over 16 million population.
In Istanbul, the number of weekly cases rose to around 54.60, from 54.30 in the previous week, while it was 71.99 for Ankara which had only around 83.64 cases per 100,000 people before. The number of cases per 100,000 people was 23.51 in İzmir, slumping from a week earlier.
There are approximately 7,800 active cases of COVID-19 in Istanbul, 4,000 in Ankara, and around 1,000 in İzmir, according to these data.
The eastern province of Ağrı, with 155 cases, the eastern province of Siirt, with 105 cases, and its neighboring province of Bitlis, with 101 cases, per 100,000 people are still in the top three among the provinces that are still red, a color signifying the high-risk provinces on the figures.
The country also confirmed 5,299 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours, and 37 deaths, while as many as 4,446 more patients have won the battle against the virus.
Turkey a week ago moved to the normalization phase, lifting almost all virus-related restrictions across the country including weekend lockdowns and night curfews while allowing restaurants and cafes to open.

Govt should focus on Aussie farmers producing for domestic slaughter and processing.
The ABARES Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey (AAGIS) 2014 highlights the need for government to focus on supporting Aussie farmers who produce high quality animals for the domestic slaughter and processing industry. Currently 94% of sheep and 93% of beef cattle produced in Australia are slaughtered here.
Overall, Australian livestock producers receive just 7% of their income from the sale of animals to the live export industry.
Exports of sheep meat to the Middle East increased by more than 150% between 1990 and 2013 and meat exports from Australia are currently worth 9 times that of live exports.
Time to look after the majority and not the minority. Be interesting to see how much government money goes into live export promotion and regulation compared to domestic....is it disproportionate? Almost certainly. Could we be propping up drought farmers if we werent spending so much money on live-ex? Who knows?

Doctor Who: The Bells of St John
Posted by Paul Bowler in All, Doctor Who

The Bells of St John
[CONTAINS SPOILERS]
Having retreated to a monastery in 1207 to contemplate the enigma of Clara Oswald, where the Doctor is studying a painting of Clara from the 13th Century which purportedly yields the last message from the girl who has already died twice, the Time Lord is roused from his musings when two monks bring news that the Bells of St John are ringing. He returns to the TARDIS where the telephone in the door is ringing.
The surprise caller is Clara Oswald, a live in nanny from present day London, who is experiencing a problem with her internet connection. A bemused and excited Doctor quickly takes the TARDIS to meet Clara, but she isn't exactly impressed by the strangely dressed man who has parked his strange blue box outside the house. After taking the time to make a quick costume change, the Doctor is horrified to find that Clara has been attacked by some otherworldly robotic device called a Spoonhead, which is somehow linked to the Wi-Fi network. After preventing Clara's mind from being downloaded by the Spoonhead, the Doctor is determined to find out who is behind the entity lurking inside the capitols Wi-Fi signals – harvesting human minds and stealing their souls. It turns out that anyone looking at a particular network symbol instantly becomes a target for the sentient network, controlled by Miss Kislet from her high-rise office in the Shard as she plots with her mysterious client to use the Spoonheads to build a Data Cloud and turn the technology of the world against humanity.
Clara wakes up and gazes down from her window to see that the Doctor is still waiting for her by the TARDIS. She goes outside to meet him, suddenly aware that she now understands computers, although she can't explain how. As the Doctor begins to explain what happened to her Miss Kislet decides to strike back and hacks into the Wi-Fi to send a passenger plane plummeting towards them. After rushing Clara into the TARDIS the Doctor makes a whirlwind trip to the plane, with a bewildered Clara who suddenly finds herself at the controls with the Doctor as the narrowly avoid disaster.
But later, after leaving the TARDIS on the south bank for a quick jaunt around London on the Doctor's motorbike, Clara manages to hack into the Wi-Fi Network while the Doctor goes to get her a coffee. Miss Kislet uses this opportunity to hack the minds of people in the immediate vicinity, distracting the Doctor long enough for a Spoonhead to sneak up and download Clara's mind into the Data Cloud. The Doctor races to the rescue on his super charged anti-gravity motorbike, flying up the side of the Shard where he bursts into Mrs Kislet's office. All seems lost when she refuses to release Clara from the Data Cloud, but the Doctor has other ideas, and cleverly manages to sidestep his enemy when the Time Lord in her office turns out to be a Spoonhead that has been hacked by the Doctor who has been controlling it while he watches over Clara back at the rooftop café. As UNIT troops storm the building Mrs Kislet's employer is revealed to be the Great Intelligence, who has one last, devastating order for Mrs Kislet to carry out before the building is overrun…
Unaware that his old enemy has return, the Doctor asks Clara to join him on his adventures in time and space. Clara is still not completely convinced, she tells him to come back tomorrow and ask her again before leaving the TARDIS. The Doctor can watch and wait, sure in the knowledge that the adventure is just beginning…
Season Seven resumes in fine style with The Bells of St John, heralding the beginning of a new era for Doctor Who as the soufflé girl/governess Clara Oswin finally joins the Doctor on his adventure in time and space. Ever since Jenna-Louise Coleman first appeared as the fast-talking computer-savvy Oswin Oswlad in Asylum of the Daleks (2012), fans have been captivated by the mystery surrounding the girl in a red dress who didn't even realize she'd been turned into a Dalek. The 2012 Christmas Special: The Snowmen then offered us Clara the Governess who tragically died again, only to reappear again in the future standing at her own graveside.
Jenna-Louise Coleman is fantastic as the young woman who seems to have some kind of inexplicable bond with the Time Lord. Having already encountered him in two different time zones, this modern day Clara appears to be fundamentally the same person. In fact, although Clara initially seems as dissimilar to Oswin from Asylum of the Daleks as the Governess was in The Snowmen, who each were distinctive in their own right, this present day version of Clara is an altogether more realistic interpretation of those characters. Jenna-Louise Coleman's engaging performance as Clara is like opening a Pandora's Box of infinite delights. Clara's eclectic persona and bubbly personality also yields a will of steel. She is one of the Doctor's most quick-witted companions, who dreams of travelling, and is more than capable of looking out for herself.
Mat Smith is on fine form as the mercurial Time Lord who has rediscovered his thirst for adventure, sporting a stylish new purple version of his costume, Matt Smith's incarnation of the Doctor continues to impress as Clara's story begins in earnest. Although the Doctor is thrilled to find Clara it quickly becomes apparent that the dynamic between them strikingly different to the one he shared with the Ponds. The Doctor is both captivated and protective of his new companion, single-handedly organising her life at one point as she gazes down at the TARDIS from her bedroom window, and she in turn challenges his preconceptions with a playful feistiness as their worlds collide.
The Bells of St John is one of Steven Moffat's most ambitious scripts to date. Boasting incredible production values, this is probably about as close Doctor Who has ever come to being a contemporary urban thriller, and is easily one of the most exhilarating season openers so far. Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman make a fantastic team as they race over Westminster Bridge on a Triumph motorcycle, taking in plenty of London's famous landmarks along the way. The Bells of St John features some spectacular action set-pieces right from the outset, with Clara's first trip in the TARDIS placing her and the Doctor at the controls of a passenger jet about to crash into the city, while later we witness the Doctor driving up the Shard on his anti-gravity motorbike!
Director Colm McCarthy takes every opportunity to showcase all the sights of London, and it's great to see the Doctor and Clara in so many well known locations. Celia Imrie gives a chilling performance as the evil Miss Kislet, the administrator behind the Wi-Fi threat; she has some fantastic one-liners and delivers them with a wickedly cruel glint in her eye. The Spoonheads are using the Wi-Fi signals to hack into people minds and take them over, and Steven Moffat skilfully plays on the insidious way modern technology has inveigled its way into our everyday lives, offering a superbly creepy insight into how vulnerable our innate obsession with social media can make us.
The opening scenes where the viewer is warned not to connect to the Wi-Fi network by a hapless victim of the Spoonheads is very chilling, especially as it illustrates how so many people have become unwilling slaves to the Great Intelligence. By taking something as incongruous as Wi-Fi and transforming it into a deadly weapon for an alien invasion, Steven Moffat brings the threat of the Spoonheads into our own homes, turning an invisible signal into threat you cannot see or touch. There are many underlying themes here that point to the many hidden dangers within the internet, one that is exemplified here by the Spoonheads ability to project images from their victims own subconscious – trolling on an intergalactic scale if you will – which exposes how vulnerable we have all become in this age of information technology. It also very clever how Clara is defined by her cynicism towards social media; perhaps mirroring Steven Moffat's own decision to leave Twitter as he started to find it too distracting.
Steven Moffat has skilfully weaved the early stages of Clara's ongoing mythology into The Bells of St John, including a number of flashbacks at relevant points for both Oswin and the Governess, as well as posing some tantalising questions for future episodes.
The chemistry between the Doctor and Clara is electric right from the start, the banter between them is great fun, and I'm sure that Jenna-Louise Coleman will quickly become one of the series most popular companions. With the surprise return of Richard E Grant as the Great Intelligence, The Bells of St John is just the start of Clara's incredible voyage of discovery as the Doctor searches for clues to explain the paradox of the girl without a time or a place.

So happy that the Doctor is back. I especially love the bit of him loving to hear people say "Doctor Who". Some nice twists and I love the new companion. Also, "The Bells of St. John" title was a very clever one at that! Really great episode after such an agonizingly long break.

Yes, it was great to have Doctor Who back on tv at last. The Bells of St John was a brilliant new episode, really fun and action packed. The Doctor and Clara make a fantastic team.
The Code Crimson (@TheCodeCrimson) said:
I found the opening especially terrifying! A creepy episode to say the least, but fun. In some ways it can't compare to some of the previous Eleventh Foctor openers, in my opinion, because those had all that built-in mythology, but this was refreshingly unencumbered by all that. So excited that Doctor Who is back!
Yes, It was a great start to the season. The opening moments were very creepy as well. This was a really fun and action packed episode. The Doctor and Clara make a great team, and I'm really looking forward to their adventures in time and space :O)

Life After Coal in Harlan County, U.S.A.
Kentucky's lifeblood is drying up.
Jeff Kelly Lowenstein May 23, 2016
58-year-old Robert Simpson mined for 12 years before the economy forced him to take up carpentry. (All photography by Jon Lowenstein)
For nearly a century, Harlan County, Ky., has occupied an outsized place in the American consciousness. Coal is the lifeblood of Harlan, where miners' fierce battles against deadly working conditions remain a symbol of union grit and militance. But Harlan is also an emblem of the hard times that have fallen on coal country.
Coal mining once provided a middle-class living. Mine workers in Harlan won living wages and benefits following a series of strikes and violent clashes with scabs and mine owners in the 1930s that earned the county the nickname "Bloody Harlan."
Miners charted a risky path to economic security. Collapses, explosions and other accidents killed tens of thousands during the 20th century. Many who survived were still killed by coal, albeit more slowly

Meet Baby Nut: Mr. Peanut reincarnates in Super Bowl ad stunt
Mr. Peanut is back. Are you surprised?
In what could become a case study in the perils of Super Bowl marketing stunts, Planters teased its Super Bowl ad nearly two weeks before the game, releasing a teaser for its Super Bowl ad that showed its Mr. Peanut mascot seemingly being killed.
The "death" of Mr. Peanut went viral on Twitter. But when Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash, the marketing stunt suddenly seemed insensitive, so Planters paused its pre-game advertising.
The actual Super Bowl ad was relatively inoffensive, with a baby Mr. Peanut appearing at the funeral, but the pregame stunt is likely what people will remember.

RBNZ governor confirms rate rise
Mr Wheeler said on Friday the New Zealand economy was growing too fast to keep inflation in check, which was why interest rates needed to rise soon.
The economy grew about 2.7 percent a year during the past two years, compared with its non-inflationary capacity of a little over 2 percent.
On Thursday when he left the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at its record low of 2.5 percent, Mr Wheeler said the economy is now growing at about a 3.5 percent annual pace.
Mr Wheeler said a fall in house prices was unlikely but could happen if households became less able to pay their mortgages.
Rising house prices have been one of Mr Wheeler's greatest concerns. He said the situation was made worse by household debt levels at about 150 percent of household disposable incomes, and those debt levels were rising further.

Gestalt offers your business customised, outcome-based BEE transformation & compliance, shaping B-BBEE into your competitive advantage. With this scoring system, we help organisations that conduct business in South Africa to achieve broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) transformation.
We have developed strategies that can turn your BEE scorecard compliance into a brand-edge over your competitors.
BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) or Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE), as it is technically known, is an initiative by the South African government to address historical imbalances of the country by facilitating the participation of black people in the mainstream economy.
Black people refer to African, Coloured, Indian and Chinese persons who are South African citizens by birth or by descent, or who were naturalised prior to the commencement of the interim constitution in 1993, or who those would have been able to acquire citizenship by naturalization prior to 27 April 1994 had it not been for the presence of the Apartheid policy.
BBBEE is governed by the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Act, the BBBEE Codes of Good Practice initially gazetted in February 2007, and then the subsequent Amended Codes of Good Practice gazetted in October 2013.
Level Four is considered fully Compliant.
When must the business entity be compliant?
On 6 January 2004 Government passed into law the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, No. 53, 2003. The final B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice are now operational as of the date of publication in the Government Gazette, No. 29617, on 9 February 2007.
Although there are no direct financial penalties that could be applied to non BEE compliant businesses, the system ensures that Procurement managers and Buyers will favour businesses that are compliant since that enhances their own BEE Scorecard under the Preferential Procurement element provisions.
Does every business have to have black people as shareholders?
Black shareholding can attribute a maximum of 23% to the Generic Scorecard, but there is no legal obligation that can be enforced. In any event, Qualifying Small Enterprises may choose any four of the seven Elements on which to be rated, and can leave out the Ownership element entirely, although black representation does contribute to bonus points as well as promotions under certain circumstances.
The Generic Scorecard consists of 7 Elements, of which Ownership is only one.
If the business has no black shareholders, what is the point of going through a B-BBEE rating?
What is an EXEMPTED MICRO-ENTERPRISE (EME)?
An EME is a business that has an annual turnover of R5 million or less (or R2,5 million in the tourism industry) OR a business that is less than 1 year old.
Such businesses qualify for a Level 4 BEE certificate undergoing a full BEE audit.
Do all business entities have to be B-BBEE compliant?
Only business enterprises (those classified as 'Exempted Micro Enterprises') with an annual turnover of R5 Million and less will be exempted. Such entities will automatically be recognized as Level Four B-BBEE Contributors with a procurement recognition level of 100%.
Start-up enterprises are Exempted Micro-Enterprises for the FIRST YEAR following their formation or incorporation regardless of their expected revenue. Tendering for contracts above R5 million does require Scorecard submission.
Those with an annual turnover between R5 Million and R35 Million are measured under the QUALIFYING SMALL ENTERPRISES ('QSE') codes.
Those with a turnover of R35 Million and above are measured under the GENERIC SCORECARD codes.
What is the difference between the QSE and the GENERIC scorecard?
The Qualifying Small Enterprise ('QSE') must elect to be rated on any four of the seven B-BBEE elements. Where a selection is not specifically made by the business enterprise, the four best element scores will be used to calculate the final result.
This means that an enterprise can still achieve a reasonable B-BBEE rating, in spite of not performing well in three of the seven elements.
SANAS (South African National Accreditation System) is the recognised accreditation body on behalf of the DTI. SANAS is therefore responsible for overseeing the development and maintenance of the required rating standards in the BEE industry.

This is a great post about how visually impaired and blind people can go swimming. Since I love swimming and Sandy's View is a fantastic blog I have to share this with my readers. Additionally, I want to write more in English in the future, but I'll keep my blog bilingual, so there will still be posts in German.
Das ist ein toller Post über Schwimmen für blinde und sehbehinderte, den ich umbedingt teilen muss. Ich habe dort ein Kommentar hinterlassen, das fast schon ein Blogbeitrag zu meinen eigenen Schwimmerfahrungen ist. Außerdem will ich in Zukunft ohnehin auch auf Englisch schreiben. Es wird trotzdem weiter Beiträge in Deutsch geben.
After many disc ussions with my high school swimming teacher (and mustering up some courage), I finally decided to take swimming class during my senior year. It wasn't that I thought I couldn't swim because of my disability, but rather I had the same fear the average person has of sinking and drowning!! Being the only blind student in the class, I was unsure about how exactly I would keep up with my classmates. Luckily, my swimming teacher was very accommodating, and made sure my fears didn't become a reality! She worked one-on-one with me and physically taught me how to do each movement before letting me practice on my own.
Like our sighted counterparts, blind and visually impaired individuals swim for pleasure, recreation and competition. There are many simple adaptations that allow us to enjoy this wonderful activity!

Steps star Ian 'H' Watkins on life as a single parent: 'Families come in all shapes and sizes' | Ents & Arts News
Steps star Ian "H" Watkins has spoken out about the challenges of being a single parent during the pandemic.
The singer is father to twin boys Macsen and Cybi, five, who were born via a surrogate in 2016, but says he has been a single parent "virtually from the beginning" after splitting from his former partner Craig Ryder the following year.
Watkins is currently getting ready for the much-anticipated Steps' comeback – with an arena tour planned for later this year following the announcement of the band's reunion in 2020 – but is also juggling the showbiz side of his life with looking after his boys.
Ian 'H' Watkins from Steps is dad to five-year-old twins Macsen and Cybi
With COVID-19 turning the world upside down in the past 18 months, parents have faced the extra challenges of home schooling and keeping children entertained when they were stuck at home, unable to see friends or enjoy their usual hobbies.
Life as a single father can be "tough" and "a little bit crazy", Watkins tells Sky News, but he wants to highlight that modern family life is changing.
"I have been a single parent virtually from the beginning, I guess, so I know exactly what it's like to be outnumbered if you are single parent out there," he tells Sky News. "It's tough… There is no traditional family unit anymore. Families come in all shapes and sizes.
"When it comes to single parent families, I'm outnumbered, completely. So I have to divide my time and I have to devote attention to what's needed. I am a little bit of a, well, 90%, I'd say, I'm bad cop because I have to be, you know, I do rule my children with discipline, but I also put the fun dad hat on as well. So it's a juggling act, really. And it's tough."
Watkins spoke out about his own experiences following research by family holiday site Vrbo suggesting that more than half (56%) of single parents have not had a proper break in more than two years.
"You need a break, especially after the year-and-a-half that we've had," says Watkins. "I mean, that was unexpected and crazy."
Getaways in the UK might be easier now than they were during lockdown, but with the traffic light system for travelling abroad ever changing, that is not so easy to plan for.

"I think if we were singing off the same hymn sheet, that would make life a lot easier," says Watkins, referring to the differing rules across the UK. "I personally think that what [First Minister] Mark Drakeford is doing in Wales is a good thing. I think Boris [Johnson] has been way too lackadaisical. I think it would be nice to have a bit of a happy medium."
As lockdown measures lift, Watkins has this message for other single parents: "Just keep going. Stay strong. You have got this."

But as a true friend of America, I want to help.

The words in the introduction were written by Yuri Bezmenov aka Tomas Schuman, a Soviet Defector and ex KGB agent, who passed away in 1993.
Since he wrote these words, everything he warned us about, everything, has come to pass. We are rapidly headed down the road of destruction via Communist takeover, thanks to the hordes of what Bezmenov called "Useful idiots".
Following is a link to the US Archive copy of Bezmenov's extraordinary warnings from the past, in two books, Love Letters To America and World Thought Police, reaching out to us at this critical moment in time.

Who was Tomas Schuman and why was he Important?
By Carson Babich
In my hometown of Windsor, Ontario, Canada you can find the grave of a man named Tomas Schuman. The gravestone is simple: 'Tomas Schuman; Aug. 14, 1941 – Jan. 5, 1993; In loving memory of Tania, Jonathon, and Tessie'. The obituary of Tomas Shuman states that he was a gifted educator – especially during his time at the University of Windsor teaching public relations. At first glance, you may think here is a former educator who was passionate about his work and lived a quiet life. However, his life was far from quiet – especially when you realize the man named Tomas Schuman was not Tomas Schuman at all.
His real name was Yuri Bezmenov – who was a former Soviet journalist, a state informant for the Soviet First Directorate, and former KGB officer who defected to Canada in the 1970's. Bezmenov is famously known for his lectures on Soviet-Communist subversion tactics used to influence western society through institutions such as media, universities, and government. In his lectures, he describes the act of subversion being the most common and widely used tactic by the Soviet Government to influence their power within western society; furthermore, outlining four steps of subversion that were used by the Soviets – based off Sun-Tsu's Art of War – into distinct characteristics:
Demoralization: Done through 15-20 years to subvert a generation through moral influence of propaganda inside areas where public opinion is shaped (i.e., religion, education, social life, labor, and employment relations etc.).
Destabilization: Done through severing ties to national or internal characteristics of a society. Produced through individuals influencing economy, media, and law and order. Essentially the fractionating of a society based on demoralization (e.g., radicalization).
Crisis: Comes from an impactful or disastrous situation that divides a nation or society based on fault lines creating panic.
Normalization: Is an acceptance of individuals – predominantly through soft power, but can be done through hard power (e.g., violence) – to submit to the ideals of government as a protector and to accept the changes of law for a collective understanding.
Bezmenov drives home the fallacy of equality standard that the Soviet Union used to demoralize a nation through either its history or democratic characteristics against them to prove a negative point. What this means is the generation of demoralization enters the professional sphere to use the subversion tactics towards destabilization – from there a cataclysmic event triggers the fault line through fear, terror, and psychological control. Lastly, ideological rulers of society attempt to stabilize the country with exploitation in victory…READ MORE
To repeat; "a cataclysmic event triggers the fault line through fear, terror, and psychological control." I'm sure you're all thinking the same thing. The Lock Step Scenario, aka COVID-19. Here we are.
And doesn't it make you think. The opening of the Iron Curtain, the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the opening up of China to the world: Were these things done in the name of ending Communist regimes, or introducing them to The West by stealth and deception? MH

This online course is designed to familiarize aquatic professionals with the common procedures of conducting an incident investigation, specifically an incident involving an injury. The crux of why incident investigation is critical is to implement corrective actions to prevent further incidents. There is currently not an OSHA regulatory driver for incident investigation. Section 5a1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 states, "Each employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees." If there is a serious injury, OSHA has the right to investigate and is obligated to do so in the case of a workplace fatality. A proper investigation also protects the employer's liability to lawsuits and unwarranted work-comp claims.
Successful completion of this 30-minute online course earns a Record of Completion. IACET CEUs are not available for this course.

The World Is On Red-Alert Because Of Increased Online Chatter From ISIS Demanding Christmas-Day Slaughter But This Latest Bust Was Too Close For Comfort.
Thanks to FBI undercover Agents, this Ex-United States Marine, Everitt Aaron Jameson's Christmas-Day terrorist attack was unfoiled. The young man planned to blow up a popular tourist destination in San Francisco, reportedly telling one agent he didn't have an exit strategy because he planned to die as many suicide-bomber have before him. The ex-Marine shows absolutely no remorse in his affidavit.
This is just chilling tail happening world-wide as we approach Christmas. Global efforts to foil lone-wolf would-be attackers are underway but the FBI is urging the public to report any and all suspicious behavior. Take a look.
As Reported by Samual Chamberlain with Fox News.
In a statement, Acting San Francisco Mayor London Breed credited the "diligent efforts of the FBI and local law enforcement agencies" for thwarting the planned attack and announced that the San Francisco Police Department would have an increased presence throughout the city.
Jameson denied the allegations during a hearing in federal court Friday.
His father, Gordon Jameson, said he believes the FBI has the facts wrong.
In an 11-page affidavit filed in federal court in Fresno Friday, FBI special agent Christopher McKinney alleged that Jameson espoused "radical jihadi beliefs" on social media. According to the agent, Jameson "liked" and "loved" ISIS-related social media posts, including one that threatened a Christmas attack in New York City.

About Mr. A's Beignets
Arlton Cangelosi, the Mr. A behind Mr. A's Beignets, was born and raised in New Orleans. While he worked in the food industry on and off throughout college, he never owned a bakery himself. However, Cangelosi kept up with his baking on the side during his 30 year career in the postal service, frequently making beignets for friends and family members. After retirement, he decided to pursue his passion and opened up his own food truck to dish out this delectable pastry throughout the Raleigh-Durham, NC area.
At Mr. A's, you'll be able to sample the light, pillowy New Orleans breakfast favorite as intended - fresh! The beignets at Mr. A's are made upon order, generously sprinkled with powdered sugar, and then served. You can opt for traditional beignets, but can also sample bite-sized varieties. Pair your pastries with chicory coffee, another New Orleans tradition. Either black or au lait, this coffee's woody undertones pair well with beignets to create that sweet-and-sour flavor profile coffee and donut fans love. If you're looking for great desserts for your next event, consider booking Mr. A's Beignets.
MUST TRY
Traditional Trio - You won't be disappointed indulging in three scrumptious beignets coated with a thick layer of powdered sugar. For added sweetness, ask about the dipping sauces. Try pairing these with some caramel, Hersey's fudge, or Nutella.
