Time has become one of the most important values that manifests itself in compulsion and the expectation to Act Faster And Faster and to Live Longer And Longer. These are currently civilization priorities – for several decades they have caused the most significant changes for what purposes we use our resources, i.e. raw materials, capital, labor, time and qualifications.
Reaching back to the past, we perceive clear links between the current appreciation of time and the historical processes of secularization and modernization.
When we ask what the consequences of changing time into value are, we observe an amazing trend increasingly denying the inevitability of death. When we ask what underlies the historical transformation of time into value, we see Christianity.

synopsis – extended version pdf in English
Critics of my book complain that I am not serious about serious matters. Some of its enthusiasts proclaim that this is the first postmodern theory of civilization. Neither these nor those are right.
Readers are also divided into those who are delighted with the form of this book and those who, just because of this, are unable to read it at all. Rate it yourself. You can download it in one file to your computer or tablet.
As the popularity of the book increases, so does the number of reviews. I really value these critical, emotional and malicious ones (sociological comic for youngsters, pictorial gibberish, theory of civilization for tabloids).
At the other extreme, I found reviews that link my analysis with the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), Sociology of Scientific Knowledge (SSK), Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) and Social Shaping of Technology (SST).
I am very flattered by this affinity. My intention was to point out the factors that determined the historical direction of Western science, technology and the economy. Showing the process of increasing value of time and showing the consequences of this axiologization of time fits perfectly in SSK, STS and similar analyzes.
The book is a colourful computer presentation. Text in condensed form. A lot of photos and graphics. The book is fully interactive, easy to use on computers and tablets with touchscreens.
Each page is a slide with the title of a sub-chapter. The title is a link to the table of contents. A table of contents is a collection of links to relevant places in the book. You can go to any place in the book from any page thanks to bookmarks.
Such a book is easy to read on a monitor or tablet. Navigation on it is trivial thanks to ubiquitous links.
You might print it as well. I suggest printing two slides on an A4 page, one below the other.

/summary/ Time is an increasingly important value. We experience that value chasing deadlines, chasing escaping youth and finally, chasing escaping life. We built the value of time gradually. In a sense, the whole of Western history is the process of transforming time into value. This is what this book is about. How the time has been changed into precious value and time value continues to increase, what were the causes of it, what are effects and what may be ahead of us in the future.
A look at history through the filter, which is the transformation of time into value (axiologization of time), gives an ordered image of logically related, countless facts, phenomena and problems. The very list of chapters here and reading the following summary shows what – seemingly distant – problem areas are interrelated if you look at them from this perspective.[/five-sixths]
Chapter – full version pdf (in Polish)
Chapter – full version on-line (in Polish)
/summary/ In this chapter we analyze the specific phenomenon of modern Western civilization – its growing speed in many areas. We define the concept of civilization speed and indicate ways to measure this speed.
We also define the very concept of Western civilization by indicating its five dimensions: geographical location, historical heritage, elements of technopolis, value systems and the sphere of everyday life.
We show the acceleration of civilization from bird's-eye perspective glancing at the entire economy and from below, from the perspective of the individual.
By analyzing macro acceleration, we present its economic sources. They are the principles of a private market economy combined with the West's unique ability to transform social property into productive capital. This ability to mobilize productive capital arose relatively recently (XIX century), thanks to the agreeing on a uniform definition of property rights throughout Western civilization and establishing uniform ways of managing them. We discuss the historical process that led to this unification and explain why unification accelerates the creation of productive capital. The Western ability to create productive capital has been contrasted with the situation in Third World economies, where assets often do not become capital (being so-called dead capital).
To examine the acceleration of civilization from the perspective of the individual, we identified a set of BNF (Better-New-Faster) values, through which civilization pressure Faster affects the individual. The BNF set is based on a system of incentives and demands towards the individual as a consumer, employee and producer. We show a feedback mechanism: civilization pressure transforms the individual's value system, and thus his preferences, habits, interests and assessments. On the other hand, such a transformed value system reproduces and strengthens civilization pressure.
We also show a list of factors that differentiate sensitivity to civilization pressure in different countries, regions, social groups and areas of the economy.[/five-sixths]
/summary/ In the constantly accelerating Western civilization, time has become the resource scarce and highly valued. The economy has made it subject to market rules. Time resources can be rationally managed and control over them is a new form of power.
We show examples of time resource management and examples of products where trade means direct or indirect time trading. We show and explain the relationship between the degree of sensitivity to BNF (Better-New-Faster) values and the perceived attractiveness of these goods.
Value of economic time and speed of civilization processes are interdependent. Therefore, the increasing value of time can be measured by the growing amounts of resources earmarked to accelerate the various processes. We present the outline of such a measurement. Interdependence between value of time and civilization speed is measured by comparing growing computing speed of IT hardware with investments outlays in IT sector.
In the main part of the chapter we show the mechanism of the emergence in Western civilization of two mass expectations and demands related to the growing value of time. Both expectations are increasingly affecting the allocation (intended use) of civilization resources and thus become an increasingly important element of our civilization identity.
The first of these expectations is the desire to be young as long as possible. The sources of this desire are pragmatic. In fast civilization, economic time gains value. Such a civilization rewards people who act quickly, effectively, adapt well to changes, who like newnesses, and do not avoid risk. These are behaviors and personality traits more common among young people. In older people they weaken. So being young and energetic becomes a useful, pragmatic value. Big industry works so that we can meet the expectations of fast civilization. We present a process that has transformed this pragmatic expectation into an intrinsic (autotelic) value, detached from pragmatic, instrumental roots. The desire to be young as long as possible turns into a cult of youth, becoming an independent factor in accelerating civilization, stimulating specific allocation processes.
The second of these expectations is the desire to Live-As-Long-As-Possible. It is the result of the growing value of our temporal time. It gained value as a result of the "eschatological reduction" caused by the secularization process (a historical outline since the 11th to 19th centuries presented in the chapter). Secularization weakened our conviction of "transcendent continuation" after death. From XVII century new science, including astronomy, has radically dwindled the position of man in the universe. A human ceased to be the centre of universe. The degradation of man in the hierarchy of beings and the weakened perspective of eternal life raised the meaning and value of mundane life because unlike uncertain afterlife this one was possessed for sure. As the only one. That's why its value raised.
We present a list of conditions, the fulfillment of which has relatively recently transformed this increase in value of earthly life into a widely and increasingly stronger articulated expectation and demand to Live As Long As Possible.
Both civilization priorities, to live as long as possible and to be young as long as possible, become autotelic values, stimulating very significant allocation processes, described further in Chapter IV.[/five-sixths]
/summary/ Secularization that has progressed over the past centuries, has raised the value of our earthly time. And the first half of the 20th century brought an unprecedented increase in life expectancy. This was not followed, however, by massive articulation of expectations for longer life or demands that it happen. This articulation has been suppressed for several decades. This was due to the culmination of a peculiar phenomenon in the second half of the 20th century – the taboo of death. In this chapter, we subject Western death taboo to detailed analysis. We find that the taboo of death, as a repression of the topic of dying and death, was a classic psychological defence mechanism against the state of mass existential frustration at the time.
We presented statistics of twentieth-century demographic processes in the area of Western civilization, which are the basis for inferring the frustration as the genesis of the phenomenon.
At the root of the taboo of death lies a specific phenomenon that occurred in the first half of the 20th century. There was a great rise in life expectation of younger generations (+45%) and at the same time no improvement (only3%) in this respect towards the elderly (2/3 of the population) and the "scientific" pessimism as to their future life extension, because scientists' general opinion was that life expectancy of elders was close to the limit imposed by the biology. The elders saw that the young stopped dying but they had no chance for a longer life. That caused a state of mass existential frustration. One of the basic responses to this situation was muting, repression of the topic of death and dying. Death became taboo.
The second half of the 20th century has been a radical change in health care policies and spending. The fight against diseases of adults and older people has become a priority. Postponed by several dozen years, the effects of these actions reversed the dynamics. In the last 30-40 years, it was elders that have gained more than the young (relatively). This weakens frustration and gradually, though slowly, extinguishes the phenomenon of death taboo.[/five-sixths]
/summary/ The chapter discusses the main consequences of increasing the value of time. These are several characteristic areas which attract more and more civilization resources what results in specific perceptible direction of development of Western civilization. Second, the widespread desire and demand that life to be getting longer created a myth that this desire is eternal. Thirdly, the different speed of the process of secularization and modernization in the West and in other cultural territories has created very strong inter-civilization tensions.
We showed how to measure the growing value of worldly time. For this purpose, we used proxy data – a statistical analysis of the dynamics of expenditure on health care. These outlays reflect our preferences Longer. We presented statistical data for the period 1880-2000 and forecasts until 2075. They all show an almost exponential increase in spending on healthcare, which is associated with our preferences for extending life. This largely reflects social preferences and values. Their combined effect consists in the most significant reallocation of civilization resources that can be observed since the mid-twentieth century. An increasing portion of Gross National Product (GNP) is and will be allocated to the realization of the preferences to Be Longer
In the further part of the chapter we indicated that the expectations for increasingly longer life and for increasingly longer youthfulness meet the criteria of mythical perception of reality. The value of time, transformed into mythical structures, becomes an autonomous and very powerful factor of reproducing the civilization mechanism that created these expectations.
In conclusion, we have found that the ever-growing strength of the demands and desires to live a longer-and-a-longer time, forecasts in this regard, and lack of imaginable boundary of these expectations allow us to see the direction of the development of Western civilization. It goes beyond the goals usually considered temporal. For just as the exponential function goes to infinity, although it does not reach this limit, so does Western civilization go towards its limit, also at infinity, except that it is infinity in terms of human time. That is immortality.[/five-sixths]
/summary/ In the chapter, we present increasingly common cultural responses resulting from the collision of ever greater medical and technical achievements in the field of Being Ever-Longer with the eternal phenomenon of death. We pointed to the existence of mental, psychological and moral changes that are more and more lasting effect of these reactions.
The West's general response is the growing recognition of death as an aberration and anomaly. The longer we live on average, the more we feel the death of children and adults, but not old ones, as an abnormal phenomenon. This interpretation of death reconciles its existence with the demand of Being Ever-Longer and optimism about the future. It legitimizes the allocation of more and more resources to the struggle for a longer life. It also changes the attitude towards death, into active opposition and intensifies the willingness to fight this Eternal Inevitability.
This spiritual change occurs barely noticed, but is becoming more common. It manifests itself in objectiontowards death of older people, dying however below the rising average. This objection is gradually preparing the Western man to accept the increasingly remarkable ideas of prolonging our temporal existence and growing demands in that area, as attainable and justified.
We also presented techniques for alleviating terminal stress. They are a compromise solution of our pragmatic civilization and concern the ways of alleviating the anxiety of a dying man. In the secularized era he sees his coming end as a transition to a fearful non-existence./five-sixths]
Chapter -full version pdf (in Polish)
/summary/ In the chapter we showed what, in the second half of the 20th century, were the main directions for research and expenses aimed at extending our lives.
In the second half of the 20th century, the problem of time became one of the leading issues of modern physics. This is undoubtedly related to the growing sensitivity of Westerners to this aspect of reality. Since Newton's physics thesis that absolute time exists has been replaced by the theory of relativity, a field has been opened for serious study of the possibility and ways of moving through time. Although technologies that serve this purpose still seem impossible, the theoretical aspects of such travels have become the subject of serious theoretical studies.
We have presented methods of time analysis in theories of modern physics (block, relative, frozen time and controversies over its ontological status) and paradoxes resulting from the collision of the linear experience of time with theories that negate its linear nature.
The main part of the chapter discusses the successes of science, medical practice and prevention in the second half of the 20th century in overcoming the basic causes of death of mature and old people, i.e. cardiovascular diseases and cancer (2/3 of deaths). After a period of catastrophic increases in morbidity and deaths caused by these diseases, a breakthrough was made in 1960-2000. The upward trend in morbidity and deaths caused by these causes was managed to contain and reverse, as evidenced by the presented statistical data.
Finally, we indicated a new and dangerous phenomenon related to the state of health of Western societies – physical inactivity and obesity. It takes on epidemic proportions, which causes so dangerous health effects and grim survival chances that it can cancel out the positive effects of fighting cardiovascular and cancer diseases.
[/five-sixths]
/summary concerns the planned and revised version/ The chapter discusses the latest (2002-2008) achievements of science and technology (especially medicine, pharmacy and biotechnology) in treating diseases and preventing the aging process. Experimental, planned and expected technologies and products in this area were also described, as well as discussions about possible consequences, including social and cultural that these products and technologies can evoke.
After crossing the line of 80-85 years of life expectancy, not the particular diseases but the very aging process becomes a major problem. The biological and biochemical aspects of the aging mechanism were shown, as well as the big concepts for longer life but only partly satisfied in the second half of the twentieth century: transplantation, implantology as well as biotechnology and genetic engineering.
Particular attention was paid to discussing the most promising way to extend life at present – biotechnology. We have presented next generations of drugs based on genetically modified proteins. We presented the applications of genetic engineering techniques for embryo selection (PGD and PGH) and the state of advancement and problems associated with genetic therapies and germline cell modification (sperm and eggs).
The techniques of human modification already available, based on designed and hereditary physical and personality traits, as well as techniques soon expected, trigger heated discussion on the social, cultural, political and ethical consequences if would be used wider. We have shown opposing beliefs on the chances of introducing these technologies. Has been presented current of transhumanism, whose representatives very positively and optimistically assess the possibilities and pace of introducing deep hereditary changes to our genotypes.
At the end of the chapter we presented the hypothesis about the possible weakening and even demise of desire to live longer and longer. This may happen after a very significant increase in life expectancy (e.g. up to 400 years). Then, perhaps we will lose the desire and need to keep our own identity in our lifespan. Perhaps dramatically longer life in fast civilization will eliminate the need to identify with ourselves from before hundreds of years ago./five-sixths]

At the beginning I thought this was more like a rehash of truisms and other great ideas that other people have said that we're repackaged. But further on the author really digs into tactical application of these great ideas witches where are useful and not easily explained or captured… But this author does both, well done!.
They were just the correct number of surprises, comic relief, and plot construction that I love in a book; they did not overreach or under deliver.
I suffered through the whole book just because there were so many popular ratings, and because I could not believe it could be so consistently disingenuous. But now that I have reached the end, I am just angry at myself for having done so. Holy crap, where's the Tylenol?
What's up with the pronunciation?
I don't necessarily mind getting a new narrator… But when they completely change the diction and the emphasis on different syllables after so many other books… That is a little too ridiculous, and something I would have hoped that someone, somewhere whose job it is to manage quality control was able to let that pass.
One of the best books I have heard since joining audible, which now numbers in the hundreds of books. Implausibly led me to laugh and cry, emotions which don't come easily… Definitely worth a listen!
This audiobook was a superb elaboration on a theme that was already classic in itself, and made even better without compromising the integrity of the original work.
Thanks for making a great story better, and a narration to back it up.
Who knew the sorority are going to oil was one of the original architects of Jurassic Park? Only he tells the story with so much vivid detail that no CGI character could possibly duplicate.
When a woman dies beneath the wheels of a train and her newly acquired love fails to turn up at the funeral, private investigator Zoë Boehm is hired to find him. And in attempting to unlock the secrets of a woman she's never met, in search of a man who might be anyone, Zoë finds only more questions. As her search leads her nearer to two different kinds of criminal, she starts to wonder if the man she is looking for has found her first. And if he has, is that going to make her another victim?
I had such a high opinion of the plot, narration and character development from the slow horses series that this really seemed to pale in comparison.

Q: How to mix mapped 'Reference' and listed 'No Reference' hasMany relationships in one Domain Class? In Grails hasMany allows one domain class to establish a cascading has many relationship with another domain class. There are two main styles of relationships when using hasMany: a mapped property Reference and listed no property reference.
hasMany with property references:
class Car {
     static hasMany = [parts:Part, wheels:Wheel]
}

hasMany relationships without property references:
class Car {
     static hasMany = [Part, Wheel]
}

Here's the problem, how do I mix the two above styles?
Say I want to have a direct reference to the Wheels, but I don't want a domain property reference for the Parts.
How would I write the code for this in the Domain Class?

A: class Car {
     Set wheels // could also use List, if you wanted indexed property
     static hasMany = [Part, Wheel]
}

Here's the rub though, even if you don't define it, you will end up with a Set wheels in your domain.  And if you look at the latest documentation on the Grails web site, the map version is the more common approach.

I Do! I Do! I Do! I Do!
Desert Rose Theatre
Review by Rob Spiegel
Carol Coffing and Mark Coffing
Photo by Michael Montroy
How many "I Do!"'s does this musical have? The Desert Rose Playhouse is currently presenting I Do! I Do! I Do! I Do!, licensed as multiple-couple version of the original two-actor version, I Do! I Do!. By any name, this production directed by Michael Montroy features wonderful performances by Bryan Durden as the young Michael and Evelyn Coffing as the young Agnes.
The musical, with books and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt, tells the story of the marriage between Michael and Agnes, from the time of their wedding in 1895 until 1945. All of the action takes place in their bedroom with a fourposter bed (The story was taken from the play by Jan de Hartog, The Fourposter). It opened on Broadway with Robert Preston and Mary Martin, and Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson toured with a production in 1973.
We see the ups and downs of the marriage, with songs to enhance the emotion. Most of the songs deliver on their purpose, but the beautiful, "My Cup Runneth Over" is just luscious. The song became a hit for Ed Ames in the 1960s and was covered by countless recording artists, including Aretha Franklin. While much of the story is sentimental (not really a criticism), there are a couple of rough patches in the marriage that dig into the more serious challenges of a long-term relationship. All and all, across the 50 years we see a robust affirmation of marriage.
One interesting twist in the Desert Rose production is the casting. While Durden and Coffing play the couple at a young age, the older versions are played by Coffing's parents, Mark and Carol Coffing. Another Coffing daughter, Natasha, is half of the musical duo providing accompaniment, playing violin with Ben Jacobson on piano. It's an impressive family affair.
Durden and Evelyn Coffing were paired up in Desert Rose's last production, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, where they were delightful in both song and acting. Here, they're every bit as strong, even though the material isn't as bright and effervescent. Coffing is exquisitely adorable, offering a tremendously expressive voice, and Durden just keeps growing in his acting and singing. The first act, which is almost entirely Durden and Coffing, is just delicious. In addition to the power these two actors bring individually, they also ignite a bright chemistry together.
The second act features the couple 50 years later. While Mark and Carol Coffing give it their all, they just don't rise to the energy and pizazz of the earlier scenes. Perhaps this is partly due to a weaker story and song in the second act. At any rate, much of the air goes out of the musical at that point. The energy picks back up when Durden and Coffing return toward the close.
The live musical accompaniment is wonderful. This is the third time I've seen Jacobson at the keyboards, and the second time I've seen Coffing. Jacobson has grown considerably since I first saw him in Beehive! The 60s Musical, which was his first go-round with a musical. Coffing displays a lovely musical touch. It's not surprising to learn she tours this country and Ireland as part of the musical duo, the Singing Pilgrims.
Director Montroy has consistently delivered strong productions at the Desert Rose. This one has a lagging second act, but the first act is pure pleasure. The support crew includes Karen Byers offering choreography, props, costumes, and set dressing. Set design is by Shiela Freed, music design is by Montroy, and lighting design is by Evelyn Coffing.
I Do! I Do! I Do! I Do!, through July 7, 2019, at the Desert Rose Playhouse, 6921 Montgomery Avenue NE, Albuquerque NM. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:00. Tickets are $25 for general admission and $20 for students, seniors, and ATC members. For reservations, visit desertroseplayhouse.net

Faia Younan (en àrab: فايا يونان) és una cantant amb doble nacionalitat: siriana i sueca. Va néixer en el si d'una família de caldeus sirians el juny de l'any 1992 a la ciutat d'Al-Malikiyah. Va créixer a Alep i actualment resideix a Beirut. El seu nom en siríac significa "noia molt maca".

L'any 2003 la Faia i la seva família van emigrar a Suècia. Allà es va dedicar a l'activisme pels drets humans i a l'assistència social a través de la Creu Roja de Suècia. Younan es va graduar en Ciències Socials a la Universitat de Glasgow, Escòcia.

Faia Younan va saltar a la fama el 2014 després de publicar una cançó titulada «To Our Countries», juntament amb la seva germana, Rihan Younan, posaven especial èmfasi a les conseqüències de la guerra i la devastació que patien sirians, iraquians, libanesos i palestins. La cançó es va traduir a diversos idiomes, es va retransmetre en canals de televisió internacionals i fins i tot va ser utilitzada en algunes escoles.

Faia Younan és considerada la primera cantant àrab en aconseguir finançament del públic a través d'internet, en el seu cas per a la producció musical «Ohebbou Yadayka». Gràcies a aquest micromecenatge va entrar a formar part del llibre Guinness World Records. Va recaptar al voltant de 25 000 USD per finançar la seva cançó.

Més endavant, la Faia Younan va fer una sèrie de concerts arreu del món. Va actuar, entre d'altres, a l'Òpera de Damasc, al palau de la UNESCO, a l'amfiteatre Pierre Abou Khater, a la Universitat Americana de Beirut, a la Universitat Americana de Dubai, al teatre Odèon d'Amman, a l'Òpera del Caire i a la Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

L'any 2019 va inaugurar el Festival egipci de Cinema El Gouna amb la cançó «Benlef» en homenatge a les celebritats que van morir aquell any. La versió original, cantada per Samira Said, va ser escrita i composta per Baligh Hamdi en commemoració d'Abdel Halim Hafez.

Discografia
 El seu àlbum debut, A Sea Between Us, inclou nou cançons i es va llançar el 20 d'octubre de 2006.
 El seu segon àlbum, Tales of the heart, inclou vuit cançons i es va llançar el 7 de març de 2019. Es va reeditar amb només set de les vuit cançons, deixant de banda «Damasc».

To accept our terms and conditions and make your booking - click here.
Our service is not an express service and we do not guarantee collection or delivery timescales for the basic 'Green' service as we plan our routes as efficiently as possible to minimise mileage, fuel consumption and our carbon footprint - however we aim to collect and deliver in England and Wales within 14 days of payment having been received for the delivery unless you have chosen an enhanced service. Scotland and Ireland will take longer. The service is to an easily accessible ground floor room. It is not our job to carry goods through awkward passages or up flights of stairs. We do not expect to be asked to assemble or dismantle items. There will usually only be one driver on our vans. They will need assistance with the collection and delivery of larger items. They are very helpful and obliging but if in their opinion they are unable to get your item to your desired location then they reserve the right to leave it in a secure place or return it on the van to our warehouse, where a further charge may apply. Our insurance does not cover any incident which may take place whilst the driver is providing additional help beyond our van.
The seller is responsible for ensuring that their goods are adequately wrapped to survive a long distance van journey. The seller should always wrap upholstered items and mattresses before collection. We cannot accept any responsibility for items getting dirty, marked or scratched if the vendor has made no effort to protect them. Any GLASS must be well Packed, padded and protected. Sellers must label each part of every item with the destination address. The main piece must state the total number of pieces e.g. "wardrobe 1 part of 3". Without labels our warehouse staff have no way of knowing how many parts your item has split into, or where it is going. We take no responsibility for the loss of unlabelled parts such as shelves, keys, cornices, mirrors etc. An additional delivery charge will be made if an unlabelled item is not successfully delivered. It is the responsibility of sellers and buyers to make each other aware of what is expected of the purchased item. We do not check the condition of the goods we are collecting/delivering.
Many items are sold in need of restoration, and other items are sold as perfect. Our driver will not be aware of the expected condition of an item. We will transport your items with care, and if we are ever responsible for any damage in transit, then we will own up to it. Insurance is compulsory. The cost of insurance is 2% of the total value. The insurance commences when the item is loaded on our van, and finishes when it is unloaded from our van at its destination. The insurance does not cover moving the item to or from the van at the collection or delivery point. This remains the responsibility of the buyer and seller even if a member of our staff is assisting at the time. The value of the item is deemed to be the price paid for the item. Insurance covers: Loss, theft and fire. In the event of damage in transit, then the insurance will cover the cost of an adequate repair, and any resulting loss of value to the item is not covered. Damage in transit is only covered when items are adequately wrapped prior to collection. Mirrors, Marble and glass cannot be covered for damage in transit by insurance. Many sellers do not wrap their items. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ask the seller to wrap the item properly, and where necessary the buyer will have to pay extra to the seller to ensure this is done. We cannot stress enough that unwrapped goods may well get damaged in transit, and that the couriers will not accept responsibility. Unwrapped goods are transported at your own risk. We will still collect unwrapped goods, but only subject to the aforementioned terms.
When your order is booked the seller will be provided with a date for collection and the buyer a date for the delivery. Please let us know immediately if a date is not convenient or if you have time restraints. We can often call on you outside working hours and sometimes on the weekend. We will email each party with an estimated two hour time slot prior to collection and again prior to delivery. Bookings may be cancelled within 48 hours of booking without penalty charges. Cancellation after 48 hours incurs a charge of £20 plus VAT. There will be a re-charge if a collection or delivery fails through the fault of the seller or buyer. This will include failure to collect due to items being unpaid for. The charge may be more than the original invoiced amount if considerable problems are encountered. For example, if a buyer is not home to receive a large item we may not have room for pre-arranged subsequent collections. This only applies when an appointment has been confirmed. We do not turn up "on spec". We try to be reasonable about any re-charges and they will depend on the nature of the problems caused by the failed appointment. All details for both the delivery and the collection must be provided before an order is accepted. We must have a name, address, postcode, email address and a phone numbers.


Malda: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday visited Malda district where flood fury continued amid over 50 deaths in the state since 21 July.
The flood situation in northern West Bengal showed an overall improvement, barring Malda district where nearly five blocks were still inundated by the increasing water level of the Mahananda River.
Floods wreaked havoc in Cooch Behar, South Dinajpur, North Dinajpur, Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Malda districts, affecting over 50 lakh people.
Mamata Banerjee interacted with victims and assured them of relief. She also instructed district officials to deal with the disaster promptly.
"This situation is due to the water level of the river," she told locals.
The chief minister is scheduled to depart for South Dinajpur during the day.
According to the state irrigation department, heavy downpour in Nepal and Bihar is further worsening the situation as the waters released by them is entering Mahananda.
They said the Mahananda was flowing 1.5 metres above the extreme danger level in the English Bazar area while some other rivers in the area have also breached the danger level.
The state finance department is collaborating with other departments, including its irrigation counterpart, to formulate a report on the overall flood situation and damages in the state, said state irrigation minister Rajib Banerjee.
"The report will be submitted to the chief secretary and chief minister in about a week," he said.
The chief minister had earlier alleged floods in southern West Bengal districts were "man-made" and held the Centre and the Damodar Valley Corporation responsible for the disaster.

Q: HTML templates inside JavaScript file... What am I doing wrong? What I'm trying to achieve is to store HTML templates for everything that needs to be generated on the fly inside a separate js file (instead of rendering it in the page).
The buildHtml function how its currently setup works fine. Where I'm stuck is what if.. I've another variable inside the template object say 'input3' and its markup is something like
(exact markup from commonInput)

I tried using it as input 3 : '
' + this.commonInput + '
' but it turns out you cannot refer object properties from inside using this (explained here).
I could create 'input3' with full html but for big html chunks this approach is not very useful.
Looking for

*

*solution to this specific problem

*reasons if this approach is a bad idea

*better alternatives
$j(document).ready(function() {

var namespace = window.namespace || {};
namespace.feature = namespace.appName || {};

namespace.feature.templates = {

input1  :   '
'+
                '
Hey {username}
'+
            '
',

input2  :   '
'+
                '
{description}
'+
            '
',

commonInput :   '
Common code
'

};

namespace.feature.module = function() {

var container  = $j('#container'),
    t = namespace.feature.templates;

var buildHtml = function(type) {
    var tmpHtml = t.input1 + t.commonInput + t.input2;
    container.append(tmpHtml);
}

var init = function() {
    buildHtml();
}

return {
    init : init,
};

}();

namespace.feature.module.init();

});

A: I'm not sure what your exact question is, but as far as better alternatives go,
I would suggest using jQuery templates.
Here is a benchmarking page for all the different templating engines and their performance:http://jsperf.com/dom-vs-innerhtml-based-templating
You can look at the revisions to find different combinations of engines as well as run them on different browsers to see speed differences.
Update: The original jquery template project is no longer active. This is the new home for the old project: https://github.com/BorisMoore/jquery-tmpl
I would no longer recommend jquery-templates since there are much better alternatives now. The last time I checked, dustJs by linkedIn fork seems to be the most promising one.

A: just on the top of my head.
You could write the templates as functions that build strings.
input3 : function(param) {
    return '
' + param + '
'
}

then:
var tmpHTML = t.input1 + t.input2 + t.input3(t.commonInput);

Also, i like to build my own DOM objects when building HTML. and avoid the use of hardcoded strings.

Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock sit so majestically in the Mountains of Western North Carolina. Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Great Smokey Mountains, and Grandfather mountain, these cities often serve as destinations for long weekend getaways. These small mountain towns are also home to many profitable rental properties including quaint mountain chalets and luxury mountain homes.
Interior design for these unique home and rental mountain properties requires a purposeful approach. A comfortable, welcoming, and functional interior design style for mountain homes typically takes cues from the stage mother nature herself has set. Balancing your design preferences, lifestyle needs, nature's backdrop, and perhaps even considerations for rental visitors requires some delicate planning.
Marta and her team of interior designers have provided interior design services for many mountain homes in the Mountains of Western North Carolina including the areas of Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock. These retreats serve as permanent homes, vacation homes, and rental property.
Browse through the below mountain home interior design project we completed, as well as some of our other signature projects. Catch our recent blog post on interior design for mountain and log homes and contact us to discuss how we can help with the interior design of your mountain retreat.

Anna didn't believe in UFOs or life on other planets until one fateful summer evening when she and her brother, Andrew, learned from the loving couple who have raised them that they are descendants of not only their human parents, but of a people from another world. Anna and Andrew, shocked and stunned by the revelation, must follow their hearts.
Anna is stunned to find the people who fostered her and her brother are from the planet of Gar. The people of Gar are unable to breed with their own kind but they can breed with humans from earth. Anger overcomes Anna's astonishment when she finds she and her sibling are two of several people born to mate with the people of Gar and start to populate a new planet. Informed that a spaceship is coming to pick them up, Anna refuses to go unless her best friend Charlee can come too. Reluctantly her foster parents agree and the extended family beam up to the spaceship and the journey begins.
While the other half human, half Gar people will get their mates ordained by the High Commander, Anna has been specially bred to mate with the High Commander Traun. Her anger evaporates when she meets Traun, who she decides is drop dead gorgeous. So begins the volatile relationship which is not helped by Traun's ex mistress, who joins the group sent to the new world.
Every time Anna made up her mind to be the lifemate Traun expects his position as High Commander came between them. Another stumbling point was Avreen, Traun's ex-mistress, who was determined to rekindle their affair and take Traun for her own.
How can a young woman from South Dakota cope with a new planet, an unknown lifemate and a jealous woman? The wormhole back to Earth has closed so Anna must work out a way to deal with her problems.
I enjoyed reading this book. It grabbed my interest from the beginning, and as I turned the pages I wasn't disappointed. Anna and Traun were obviously meant for each other, but many things interfered. The story developed in unexpected ways. Every time Anna, Traun and their extended family thought they had solved their problems, new ones appeared. Alongside their personal difficulties were the hazards of settling a new planet with people who were strangers.
Definitely a book to read if you like fantasy romance novels with a touch of the unusual.

Wzgórze Trzech Krzyży, pot. Góra Trzech Krzyży (dawniej: Góra Krzyżowa) – wzniesienie w Kazimierzu Dolnym.

Historia
Wzgórze ma istotne miejsce w historii miasta. Kojarzone było z grodziskiem lub pierwotną osadą kazimierską – Wietrzną Górą. Znane było z zapisów od 1577, jako Góra Krzyżowa. Trzy nawiązujące do Golgoty krzyże postawiono w 1708. Miały one upamiętniać liczne ofiary zarazy morowej (cholery), która miała miejsce na tych terenach. Znajdujące się tam obecnie krzyże pochodzą z 1852, a większość napisów z 1930.

Przyroda
Zbocza i szczyt Góry Trzech Krzyży porasta chroniona prawnie, rzadka roślinność, wśród której możemy znaleźć wisienkę karłowatą, omany i ostnice.

Pomimo że stoki porastają wiązy, graby i leszczyna, z góry widać cały Kazimierz i dolinę Wisły.

Turystyka
Góra Trzech Krzyży to miejsce, z którego rozciąga się najbardziej znany widok na Kazimierz Dolny. Prowadzą na nią kamienne schody. Obecnie na szczycie góry pobierana jest niewielka opłata za wejście.

IAEA Chief Arrives In Tehran For Talks
September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Tasnim News Agency 0 Comments
The acting head of the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is in Iran to meet with senior officials of the country.
Cornel Feruta arrived in Tehran on Sunday morning to hold talks with high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic over the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said Iran invited Feruta to Tehran to meet with AEOI Chief Ali Akbar Salehi and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Kamalvandi earlier in the day announced details of the country's "third step" in reducing commitments under the JCPOA.
Back in July, Iran had declared the second step to reduce its commitments by ramping up the level of uranium enrichment to over 3.67 percent.
Iran maintains that the new measures are not designed to harm the nuclear deal but to save the accord by creating a balance in the commitments.
Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, US, Britain, France, and Germany) on July 14, 2015, reached a conclusion over the text of the JCPOA.
The accord took effect in January 2016 and was supposed to terminate all nuclear-related sanctions against Iran all at once, but its implementation was hampered by the US policies and its eventual withdrawal from the deal.
On May 8, 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the nuclear accord.
Following the US withdrawal, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the deal.
However, the EU's failure to ensure Iran's economic interests forced Tehran to stop honoring certain commitments, including an unlimited rise in the stockpile of enriched uranium.
Kamalvandi recently said that the country's enriched uranium stockpile has reached 360 to 370 kilograms.

"Sanctuary" cancelled – a nerdy lament.
The cast of "Sanctuary" – no longer saving the abnormals from the norms…
I'm not sure if you ever watched it, but if you're as much of a SyFy-watching nerd as I am you'll probably be a little sad to hear that their Amanda Tapping-fronted SF/Fantasy drama "Sanctuary" has tracked its last abnormal and closed its doors after four seasons of slightly shonky CG backgrounds, variable acting and general geekiness.
Please join me in raising a glass of Sainsbury's finest Lemon cordial and then pouring it out, 90's G-Funk style.
As the show was never what you would call a ratings juggernaut – even in the rarefied and niche space which SyFy operates in – it was only a matter of time before this show bit the dust, but to get to four seasons must have had Ms Tapping and co believing that they had a decent shot at a fifth go-round.
I have to admit that my interest in the show faded at around the time that the concerns of the show scaled up and we started having the team globe-trotting in search of poor, unfortunate creatures to save from the attentions of trigger-happy normals – my wife still has to restrain me whenever the dreadful 'Bollywood' episodes show up and manage the neat trick of insulting geeks, irritating Indian folks with crap stereotypes and making bugger-all sense.
This said, despite never really loving the show as much as I love "Doctor Who", "Psych" or "Eureka", I still found myself watching "Sanctuary" because it was a nerdy, unadulterated Sci-Fi show and it seems as though a lot of TV channels really don't want to have those kinds of things in their portfolio any more, despite the undoubted loyalty of the audience. I suppose that if you can't imagine a show playing to one of those mythical, four quadrant audiences, a lot of networks don't want to know or will go out of their way to position a show as skirting the edges of genre and not being one of those things for the geeks.
Yeah, you don't want to appeal to the kind of people who've just made "The Avengers" one of the biggest movies of all times and will watch your show no matter how bad it gets – eff those dudes!
Alas, "Sanctuary", we barely knew ye – may Amanda Tapping and her awesomely posh Brit accent find gainful employment somewhere else soon.

Delain "We Are The Others" track-by-track…
Another week, another excuse to foist my dubious musical taste on you. Or, in this case, a chance for you to hear Delain lead singer and cheery person Charlotte Wessels talk a bit about the band's new record, "We Are The Others" before it comes out in June.
I reviewed their recent Sheffield gig and was very enamoured of the new stuff – it's polished, catchy and a real step onward from "April Rain", the band's sophomore release.
You can watch the first part of this track-by-track over at YouTube…

Ugly art, Disney! Must try harder…
Disney will be getting a fresh influx of much-needed, "John Carter" offsetting cash on September 25th when they release "The Avengers" on Blu-Ray (in the two flavours presented above) and in a two-disc DVD set if you're representing old-school digital media.
It need hardly be said that this flick will be selling like the proverbial warm baked goods. What needs to be established, for anally retentive, hopeless old collector geeks like me is whether we'll be getting a nifty Steelbook set too, to go with the four (count 'em!) copies of "Serenity" which we own in various DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray and nifty collector's tin editions on our shelves.
It's only financial prudence which has stopped me from chasing down the previous Marvel movies in textbook form – financial prudence which will be merrily cast asunder once this film hits Blu-Ray.
Hmm…I sure could do with a Hammer right about now…
Hurrah for Joss Whedon-fixated nerdery! And imminent bankruptcy!

This couple loved their old pub so much, they just had to buy it
Our Beerhunter talks to the Stouts, the proud owners of the Devonshire Arms in Burton

It's been quite the journey, over 22 years of marriage and 20 years in the licensed trade, for Carl and Nicki Stout to arrive at a point at which they own their own pub.
The couple are six months into their ownership of the Devonshire Arms, one of Burton's most treasured pubs, and it's flying.
But Carl and Nicki's story involves a series of lovely quirks of fate. They never set out to be publicans and neither of them are from Burton, which has become their adopted home.
It's 30 years since Carl left Newcastle and he hasn't lost the accent, while Nicki is from Nuneaton.
"I'm a toolmaker by trade," says Carl. "My job was in demand and it was very well paid. I'd never pulled a pint in my life, so when we told our parents we were going to run a pub, they thought we were completely mad!"
Carl had been swept off his feet. Nicki was working behind a bar in Nuneaton, where he was working, they hit it off and got married.
Then, one evening in a Wetherspoons, the Felix Holt in Nuneaton, the conversation turned to the thought of running a pub: "And there just happened to be a recruitment leaflet on the table..." says Carl.
These 10 pubs all have a great history as well as good beer
"If you think about things too much you'll never do anything. It was 1998 and we've been working together ever since."
These were early days for the now huge Wetherspoons chain and the Stouts began training in the Moon on the Hill in Harrow, one of the smallest of the chain's pubs.
"It was more of a community boozer and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring London on the Tube on our days off," says Carl.
Next came a newly-opened, massive Wetherspoons, the Regal, in Cambridge, set in a former cinema.
"That was a real eyeopener, a capacity of 1,700 people and they were queueing to get in," says Carl. "We were seeing the industry at both ends of the scale and it was a great grounding."
Soon, they were ready to manage their own Wetherspoons and when the Lord Burton, in Burton, came up, the fact that it was relatively close to their families in Nuneaton appealed. That was in 2000.
"We had three years at the Lord Burton with a good strong team and we're still in touch with most of them," says Carl.

"We didn't know much about Burton but we soon realised how important beer is to the people of the town - how it should be kept and how it should be presented.
"In some towns they talk passionately about their football clubs. In Burton they talk passionately about their beer!"
The Lord Burton sold a fair bit of beer from the Burton Bridge Brewery, one of the first of the new wave of independent small breweries, so when the availability of Burton Bridge's Devonshire Arms was mentioned, Carl and Nicki were on the move again.

Great history and good beer

Is Draught Bass improving?
"We felt the time was right. We'd explored all we needed to with Wetherspoons," says Carl.
Starting at the "Devvie" was a culture shock, though. They had been managers for the big chain. Now they were tenants.
"As a tenant, mistakes hit you in the back pocket!" says Carl. "But we loved the Devvie. Nicki was doing food lunchtimes and evenings on her own and we had a very nice clientele – a lot of them are the same customers today."
Meanwhile, their son, Jack, had come along and a toddler in a pub adds to the logistical issues but the Stouts were by now both experienced and committed.
Is the classic Draught Bass a better drink these days?
After five years at the Devvie, they were asked to take on the Burton Bridge Inn, the brewery's flagship pub at the other end of the town and they were to complete a decade there. Again, it was an eyeopener.
Carl: "We thought we'd sold a lot of beer at the Devvie until we went to the Bridge. It was all beer there. In my opinion, the Bridge is a classic brewery tap. I've been in a lot and it is up there with the best of them.
"We had some terrific times. The skittle alley upstairs was particularly successful and we started the annual beer and sausage festival, which went really well. From each pub, you learn a lot but our time at the Bridge was where we really learned how to run a pub."
The lounge at the Devvy has recently been redecorated. (Image: Ben Waldron)
Burton Bridge founders Bruce Wilkinson and Geoff Mumford, both past retirement age now, have been looking to sell off both the brewery and their pubs and it was the availability of the Devvie which brought Carl and Nicki's decade at the Bridge to an end.
"The Devvie was sentimental for us and we had always had the ambition to have our own pub," explains Carl.
"Again, people told us we were mad but we think it will give us a solid future. We've got a nice reputation in the town and we know exactly what we want to do. Six months down the line, it's flown by and exceeding our expectations. It's home, too, and in one way it's easier now that Jack is older.
This Derby pub has been named one of the best in the country
"I think the thing that has changed most since we were here the first time is the consumer's demand for choice, which has been driven by the micropubs, so offering that extra choice was something that was important. We regularly have seven different beers, with three, usually, from Burton Bridge."
Nicki has established Tuesday food nights – pie, steak, burgers and fish, in turn – that are so successful booking is essential, and the pub has been redecorated, which it was ready for.
The Stouts' experience has grown, the industry has changed but they laugh and say that one thing hasn't.
"When we look back on 20 years in the trade, the thing that hasn't changed is that Nicki has always looked after the food and I'm usually front of house," says Carl.

"Occasionally, we're together behind the bar and it's become a standing joke with the regulars: 'look, they're in the same room together!'
"That's probably why we've got this far!"

The Lake Harvey project is 12.45 acres in size and is located at the Northwest corner of St Lucie West Boulevard and NW Cashmere Boulevard. The project site was purchased from Martin Memorial by the St Lucie West Services District for $4,410,000 in 2014 with the expressed objective of creating a wetland/surface water facility that would provide both water quality and water quantity enhancements to the overall St Lucie West surface water management system. The City of Port St. Lucie assisted by funding the purchase of the Martin Memorial property with a portion of the Stormwater Assessment Fees they collect in SLW they give the SLWSD 75% of the assessments generated in SLW and upon issuance of the 2014 Stormwater Bond the City committed an additional $400,000 a year for 15 years of the bond.
The project consists of approximately 2.3 acres of open water surface along the frontage of St Lucie West and NW Cashmere Boulevards with a 4.1 acres wetland area located to the north and west of the open water. The remainder of the property is made up of lake banks, perimeter, and upland buffers. Both the open water and wetland areas will provide additional storm water storage for the surface water management system and will enhance flood protection in high intensity storms, while the wetland component of the project will provide nutrient uptake for stormwater runoff within that area of the St Lucie West system.
Drainage that currently flows west from the Martin Memorial site, as well as portions of St Lucie West Boulevard and the Lowes commercial center, will be allowed to flow into the new facility prior to discharging to the east through the NW Cashmere drainage system.
No estimates of nutrient uptake have been prepared to date but it is expected that the water quality benefits realized by this project will be significant.
The Lake Harvey project in conjunction with a recently completed canal project providing enhanced hydraulic connectivity in the northeast quadrant of the St. Lucie West Water Management System, is expected to reduce impacts of high-intensity storms in that area by more than 5 inches.

Low back pain is so common, that in our lifetime approximately 80% of us will suffer it. Whether it's a stiff back from over/under use or sharp stabbing pain caused by an injury, most complaints fall into 2 categories.
Muscular troubles start when you lift, twist or do an unfamiliar task or movement that puts unwanted strain on the back muscles.
In both cases the initial response of the body is to go into spasm. That is the feeling of the back "going out". Sometimes in moderate to severe cases you may hear or feel a "click" at that crucial time.
The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you will heal.
