Taweret (Oudegyptisch 'Zij die groot/alomvattend is', Oudgrieks Τοερις, Toëris) is een godin uit de Egyptische mythologie.

Taweret was in predynastische tijden een godin, die op talloze amuletten is terug te vinden. Uit het Oude Rijk dateren veel getuigenissen van de verering van deze godin. Samen met de archaïsche god Bes was zij ook beschermgodin bij geboorte en eerste zoogtijd. Taweret werd dan ook afgebeeld als een drachtig vrouwelijk nijlpaard, een dier dat bekendstond voor bescherming van haar jongen. Zij kon bovendien worden afgebeeld met kenmerken van een leeuw of een krokodil (deze eventueel op de rug dragend) en had dan een apotropaeïsche functie (moest de boze geesten of demonen wegjagen). Taweret werd vaak aanroepen bij bevallingen om vrouw en kind te beschermen (hoog sterftecijfer in kraambedden) en werd hierom ook afgebeeld met een dikke buik en zwaar doorhangende borsten.

Meestal draagt deze godin een pruik en daarboven kan een gevederde haartooi staan, eventueel met hoorns en zonneschijf. Meestal staat de mond open of met teruggetrokken lippen om rijen tanden te tonen. Dit duidt mogelijk op de kwaad afwerende functie. Voornaamste attributen: de sa (beschermingssymbool), de anch (symbool van het leven), en de toorts (afweer van duisternis en kwaad). Het sa symbool is meestal het grootst en staat voor de godin op de grond aan beide kanten, terwijl ze er met de handpalmen op steunt

Soms werd de nijlpaardgodin met Isis geassocieerd, bijvoorbeeld in een deel van de Late Periode cippi, al is de verbinding tussen deze twee godinnen niet altijd duidelijk. Taweret werd vaker met Hathor geassocieerd en draagt dan haar typische haardos (de gierenpruik). In het vignet dat het Egyptisch Dodenboek hoofdstuk 186 vergezelt bij de papyrus van Anhai staat ze samen met Hathor als koe. Ze blijkt rechtstreeks met deze godin geïdentificeerd, aangezien enkel Hathor in de banvloek wordt genoemd.

Op een zeldzame stele (New York's Metropolitan Museam of Art) staat Taweret afgebeeld terwijl zij eer betuigt aan Mut (die soms als een oervorm van Hathor wordt gezien) en draagt zij de kenmerken van Tiye, de vrouw van farao Amenhotep III. Deze koningin vereenzelvigde zich blijkbaar met de nijlpaardgodin.

Taweret werd in later tijden als de eega van Seth gezien omdat het mannelijk nijlpaard met deze god werd geassocieerd en omdat Taweret, aldus Plutarchus een van de 'volgelingen van Horus was geworden. Maar Taweret werd evenzeer als de eega van de veel oudere god Bes gezien.

Ze was erg populair bij de gewone Egyptenaren en komt voor in veel magische teksten, spreuken en amuletten. Taweret was een huisgodin en kende geen cultustempels. Wel is in Karnak een tempel gewijd aan de eveneens gerelateerde godin Opet.
Taweret afbeeldingen verspreidden zich langs de Middellandse Zee en drongen ten slotte door tot de iconografie van het Minoïsch Kreta, waar haar vorm herkenbaar bleef, al was zij er de godin van het water.

You can have a lot of fun with arc floor lamps simply because they are so versatile. They come in a range of different styles each complimenting a different type of space. The arc, or neck, can also be manipulated to ensure you get the optimum effect for your lighting so they are often the best choice if you need to move your light to achieve a different mood or to provide functional lighting. The slim streamlined design adds height to a room without cluttering the space.

Croatian Desserts: Tradition, International Influences, Walnuts, Figs, Secrets
By Morana Zibar - April 23. 2021. - Language:
Just as the landscape, culture, and customs change from one Croatian region to the next, so do the Croatian desserts. From deep down in the Mediterranean south all the way to the fertile plains in the Danube region, the map of Croatian desserts is as impressive and plentiful as the country itself.

Mediterranean Influences on desserts in Dalmatia
After their first encounter with Croatia, most people are amazed to see just how much diversity there is in such a small country. For comparison, the total area is less than the size of West Virginia. The diversity in Croatia comes from its geography, mostly. However, the influences from bigger neighboring countries and their cultures (Italian, French, Hungarian, Austrian, Turkish) found their way to the sweet department, too.
Yet, the basis of traditional sweets is always similar. Their background can usually be traced to the very simple and modest recipes of our grandmas. They used what was available and abundant, ordinary ingredients like eggs, flour, fresh cream and cheese, seasonal fruit and nuts like apples or walnuts. The really fancy stuff was kept for rare special occasions, and experimenting began only after the tradition had been firmly established.
Although Zagreb and northwestern Croatia seems like a small and fairly compact area, things do get complicated. There are many little sub-regions with their special features: Zagorje, Međimurje, Prigorje, Moslavina, Podravina… Plenty of similarities, but also a lot of differences. A common trait is that many traditional desserts here include dairy products. And what the folks lacked in exclusive ingredients and spices, they compensated for with creativity and dedication.
Zagreb is another story. While rural areas based their sweet heritage on simplicity, the bourgeois class in Zagreb looked up to Vienna. The citizens of Zagreb greatly admired the more elaborate, fancy desserts. These two basically separate traditions – peasant food and culinary bourgeoisie – began to overlap at some point, to mutual benefit.

Many typical Zagreb dishes, as well as desserts, originally stem from Viennese cuisine. Gradually, they evolved into local variations, taking on a life and identity of their own. The ubiquitous strudels and dumplings with plums or apricots are definitive proof of the region's Austrian-Hungarian heritage. A quaint little place with strudels and other old-school Zagreb desserts is the Jakšić pastry shop just off Kvaternik Square. In popular downtown pastry shops like Vincek and Cukeraj, you can try Zagreb's signature cake modeled on the famous Sacher cake from Vienna. Local pastry masterminds even created a rich chocolate cake and named it after the famous historical figure - Jelačić torta.
Samobor and kremšnita
The little town of Sambor is home to one of the most famous Croatian desserts – kremšnita. Even though its variants are now a supermarket item all over Croatia, the original is something special. Protected and listed in the Register of Cultural Goods, the recipe was devised in the 1920s. It consists of two layers of puff pastry and fluffy custard cream in between. The U prolazu pastry shop and the Livadić café are the only two places with the authentic Samobor kremšnita on offer.

If you visit small town fairs, like the one in Samobor, have some traditional paprenjaci (pepper cookies) and medenjaci (honey cookies). Also, pancakes with walnuts in wine sauce from Samobor's Gabreku 1929 restaurant are a must-try.
Zagorje and štrukli
Zagorski štrukli are the trademark of the Zagorje region. This handmade pillow-shaped dough with a filling of cottage cheese, eggs and cream is very versatile. Štrukli can easily be a starter, main course or dessert, either savory or sweet. The sweet version contains some sugar or even fruit, fresh cream on top and into the oven it goes. La Štruk in Zagreb is štrukli heaven, while the ones at the Esplanade hotel are an institution.
Međimurska gibanica is the flagship of Međimurje, one of the richest and most complex traditional Croatian desserts. Layers of phyllo dough are the basis of the gibanica, as always. Between those layers of dough? Almost everything they could find: cottage cheese, walnuts, apple, and poppy seeds. A meal on its own, indeed. The one in the sophisticated Mala hiža restaurant is to die for.

In almost all parts of continental Croatia, especially in the countryside, orehnjača (walnut roll, sometimes also called the orahnjača) and makovnjača (poppy seed roll) are standard. It seems that each region brought its own touch to this basically simple cake. Zlevanka is a simple pie from the northern regions, boasting a combination of cornflour and cottage cheese.
Photo of orehnjača
The east of Croatia is unfortunately not so prominent on the tourist map. It has, however, always been known as the place where people express their hospitality and friendship with food. (Think of Italian grandmas, but with heavier artillery.) Returning home with a few extra pounds is quite normal. On top of that, it has traditionally been the ground where vegetarians fear to tread (don't worry, that's changing now). The cuisine of Slavonia stands for a lot of meat and fat, hearty dishes and huge portions, but also a lot of comfort and happiness. The desserts follow the same principles. And they just keep coming, as almost every social gathering eventually turns into a festival of treats.
Croatian desserts in Slavonia come in all forms and sizes, from creamy and buttery cakes for festive occasions to simple little sweets. The genre of so-called wedding cookies actually served on a wider range of occasions, is true art. There are probably hundreds of them. Some of the most popular are breskvice, čupavci, oraščići, bećar šnite, vanili kifle, julka šnite, bijela pita...
Mađarica
Mađarica, the ultimate crowd pleaser and an icon among Croatian desserts is particularly good in this area. Its name literally means a Hungarian girl, but nobody knows its exact origin. Basically, it's just layers of dough and chocolate buttercream. Seems simple, but takes a lot of effort to make. Women often compete whose mađarica will have more layers!

Salenjak is something like a Slavonian croissant. It is puff pastry wraps, filled with homemade jam. But, it has a secret ingredient: lard is used, not butter! Dessert with the funniest name is most probably poderane gaće – torn underpants. Imagine a doughnut, but flattened, very simple, and often found as a sweet snack sold at fairs. Bazlamača is an old-fashioned pie similar to zlevanka, but often topped with jam or walnuts.
Photo of tačkrle by Baranja Tourist Board
Tačkrle or taške is a traditional take on ravioli: potato dough, filled with plum jam and topped with breadcrumbs in butter. Strudels, pies, and pancakes are an import, but nowhere are they as rich and mouthwatering as in east Croatia.
Croatian desserts in Istria and Kvarner
Istria is known as the region with a very developed gourmet scene, which goes hand in hand with its blooming tourism. This is the area where the Mediterranean meets the Alps, where Venetian and Austrian influence helped shape the local tradition into something unique. You can dine either in Michelin-star establishments or rural taverns and family farms. The style will be different, but the service and food will be equally good.
Pasta dishes are a staple of Istria, so a lot of desserts are pasta-like and pastry based. Kroštule are a simple treat, a perfect companion to a brandy at the end of a meal. In the past, these crispy deep-fried little ribbons were associated with the carnival season, but now they are here all year round. One of the most peculiar and delicious Croatian desserts can be found only around the town of Labin – labinski krafi. Basically, it's a sweet ravioli with a heavenly filling of cheese, raisins, brandy or rum, lemon zest. You can have krafi served with a savory sauce. However, when they are meant as dessert, you get a decadent sweet sauce on top.
Povitica is a local version of the walnut roll, but made in the shape of a Bundt cake. It is a traditional part of the Easter menu. Pandišpanj is a simple, aromatic sponge cake with lemon and orange zest. One of those old-fashioned cakes that don't capture attention with their looks, but certainly do with their taste. The same goes for bucolaj, a traditional sweet bread, perfect for breakfast, with milk.
International classics with local twists
There are adaptations of some international classics. Whipped zabajon comes from the Italian zabaglione, but it's made with local Muscat wine. Likewise, the Austrian Schneenockerln (floating islands) became paradižet in Istria and Dalmatia, while it is šnenokle in the continental part. Restaurants will often serve their take on Italian favorites like tiramisu, panna cotta or semifreddo.
Šnenokle or paradižet, photo by Morana Zibar
To add a very distinctive local touch to anything, including desserts - just add truffles! Istria is the truffle country of Croatia, so don't say no if somebody offers a cake or ice cream with truffles. Most artisan shops will certainly have products like chocolate bars, pralines or spreads with truffles. The town of Lovran on the Kvarner Riviera is the capital of chestnuts. When they are in season, all will be full of chestnut-based desserts. The highlight is the traditional Marunada festival in October. To keep it simple, just grab the classic chestnut purée in the charming Kaokakao patisserie in Volosko or Opatija.
Kvarner Islands
Kvarner islands do have their own peculiarities on the dessert menu, but they are not easy to find. Bukaleta is a great little off-the-beaten-track tavern on the island of Cres. They are specialists for lamb dishes, but also have two almost forgotten traditional desserts. Combine sheep suet, flour, dried figs, raisins, and spice, mash and boil them together and then slice the result - you get olito. Grašnjaci are little round fritters, filled with jam and walnuts. Sheep-farming has a long tradition on the islands, so skuta, sheep's milk curd cheese is a common ingredient in homemade desserts. Another fine example of using fresh dairy is presnac from the island of Krk. It consists of pastry base and a sweet sheep's milk cheese filling.
Rabska torta, photo by TZ Rab
On the other hand, you won't have any problems finding the famous rabska torta, the pride of Rab. This beautiful and original spiral-shaped cake made from ground almonds, flour, lard, maraschino, sugar, eggs, lemon, and orange zest goes back to the 12th century. The story goes that even Pope Alexander III enjoyed it greatly when he had some in 1177. The place to overdose on it is Kuća rabske torte (The House of Rab Cake) in the old town of Rab. Muštaćoni are Rab's delicious native cookies, with almonds, chocolate, and mixed spice.
The mountain area dividing the coastline from the continental Croatia is a beautiful green wilderness full of forests and mountains. Not much farmed or populated, but certainly has its representatives on the list of Croatian desserts. Things do grow there, but mostly on their own, in the woods. This is the land of delicious wild berries and some of the best honey in the country, among other things. These two regions gave a significant contribution to the genre of strudels and pies.
Gorski Kotar is famous for its wild blueberry strudel. Try it in Bitoraj or Volta, well-known restaurants in Fužine.
Photo by Gorski Kotar Tourist Board
The cuisine of Lika is very traditional and humble, everything revolves around meat, potato, cabbage, and dairy. Desserts pretty much follow the same direction, but don't disappoint. Masnica is a rich pie filled with cream, cheese, onion, prosciutto, raisins - it can be either savory or sweet. Lički uštipci are delicious, deep-fried balls of dough (and joy!), similar to Dalmatian fritule. Sometimes the dough includes dried plums or raisins, but originally they're just plain. Thousands of visitors flock to Plitvice Lakes, but Plitvice strudel has its fans, too. Triangle-shaped, with a bit thicker pastry, it has a rich filling that can include cottage cheese, apples, walnuts, sour cherries, or poppy seed. Lička kuća restaurant, inside the national park, offers an authentic version of cheesecake. Basa, a very local version of creamy soft cheese, goes into it.
On the Dalmatian Coast, you've reached the genuine Mediterranean. A lot of olive oil, aromatic herbs, figs, almonds, oranges, lemons, carob... It's all there. Obviously, Dalmatia shares a lot of basic recipes and procedures with the rest of the Mediterranean basin. The Italian influence is quite strong because, throughout history, the Venetian Republic and Italy ruled large parts of Dalmatia. Yet, every town and every island is also proud of its authentic culinary heritage. One thing almost all Croatian desserts there have in common is a lot of pleasant, seductive aromas typical for the Adriatic.
The little balls of joy you often see at street food stalls are fritule. Simple round fritters aromatized with brandy were once a staple of any festive season. But since they are easy to make and irresistible, they are now here all the time. On the other hand, sirnica (pinca is its continental counterpart) is still traditionally prepared only for Easter. It's a simple sweet bread, with the wonderful aroma of lemon zest and rum, or brandy. On the more exotic side, baškotini are one of the best-kept secrets of the island of Pag. These toasted biscuits, perfect for dipping in latte, have been baked in St. Margaret's Convict in Pag for centuries.

Korčula desserts
When it comes to small everyday cookies, the island of Korčula is the champion. Its most famous sweet treats are cukarin, klašun, and amareta. Unusually shaped, crisp, and simple, cukarin needs to have a companion: a glass of sweet wine called prošek. Crescent-shaped and tender klašun is filled with almonds or nuts, including rose liqueur, lemon zest and spice. As the name suggests, amareta is made from ground almonds. Meet them all, as well as some original creations, in the legendary Cukarin pastry shop.

There is yet another crisp and aromatic cookie in many Dalmatian places, especially in Trogir. It is called rafiol. Although the name suggests a connection with the ravioli pasta, the two are totally different. Rafiol is actually a sugar-coated, crescent-shaped cookie with an aromatic filling. The recipes for the filling vary; usually, it includes ground almonds or nuts, but also chocolate.
Rafioli by Morana Zibar
Trademark cakes in Dalmatian cities
Split, the largest Dalmatian city, impresses with its ancient architecture, but also with splitska torta - Split cake. Layers of meringue mixed with almonds, dried figs and raisins are filled with orange-infused buttercream. Yes, it's a calorie bomb, but one you can't refuse. Oš kolač artisan pastry shop is a great place to try modern interpretations of Split's favorite desserts. Many Dalmatian cities have their trademark cake; rich, luxurious and made for special occasions. This tradition usually doesn't go to far back: just like we mentioned before, the trademark cake comes with the rise of the middle class. When the expensive ingredients like chocolate, refined sugar, or mixed spice became widely available, desserts were taken to the next level.
Skradinska torta from Skradin is something really special. Special enough to be served to the newlyweds before their first nuptial night. A mixture of eggs, sugar, rose liqueur, honey, ground walnuts and almonds is baked and glazed with dark chocolate. Imotska torta, from Imotski, is a tart, consisting of a pastry base and almond filling with spice and aromatic liqueur.
Torta Makarana by the Makarska Tourist Board
Torta makarana, from Makarska, is the queen of any festive occasion. The pastry base is filled with a mixture of ground almonds, eggs, sugar, citrus juice and zest, spices, and aromatic liqueur. This one has an interesting history, traced back to 1838. It was served to Frederick Augustus III, the last king of Saxony, who was so delighted that he named it.
Endemic cakes, found in one place only!
A very endemic cake is still around on the island of Brač, more precisely - in the village of Dol. Hrapaćuša has a layer of sponge and a layer of thick sweet nuts, sugar, and egg whites mixture. The name comes from a type of stone used for building houses in Dol. And don't even try getting the recipe: a handful of local families guard it with their life!
Hrapaćuša cake, photo by Morana Zibar
And speaking of strange desserts, nothing beats Stonska torta, the cake from Ston. It's made from a local pasta called makaruli, similar to penne tubes. They are joined by a mixture of ground almonds or walnuts, grated chocolate, cinnamon, and lemon zest, plus eggs and butter, all coated with more dough.
Everywhere you look, there's a fig
The south is full of fig trees, offering their sweet soft fruits in the summer. Of course some of those will end up in Croatian desserts! In Zadar, there's a charming little festival dedicated to figs, and in Pet bunara restaurant you can taste their original creation called Šinjorina Smokva cake. Dried figs are used to make smokvenjak, a great way to preserve memories of summer on long winter days. How do you make it? Ground dried figs with a bit of brandy, maybe some almonds or herbs. Either flat and round or shaped like salami, you cut it little by little. Smokvenjak loves the company of homemade herbal brandy. On the island of Vis it is known as hib.
Rožata, photo by Dubrovnik Tourist Board
Something a bit lighter and wobblier than all those heavy cakes comes from Dubrovnik. Rožata or Rozata is usually defined as the local version of crème caramel. Nowadays you can find it all along the coast. It is a delicious custard pudding with caramel topping, but the secret lies in the local rose liqueur. And all those beautiful bitter oranges that don't make it as zest? Arančini are the candy of Dalmatia - candied orange peel. The version with lemon is called limončini.
Arancini
Throw in some candied almonds while you're at it as well - bruštulane mendule. Let's not forget, Hvar is the island of lavander. So why not use it in artisan chocolates and pralines, together with other Mediterranean ingredients? At Gamulin Chocolates they can show us how.

Come and join Rachael to reset, restore and re-calibrate body, breath and mind.
This monthly 90 minute practice will explore an intention through carefully selected restorative and yin postures where there will be opportunity to lay back into your props to rest and replenish.
Restorative yoga involves using props to hold and support the body in postures for a number of minutes so as we can begin to re-address and re-balance the nervous system. We can move from the 'Fight or Flight' mode (which many of us are habitually stuck in due to everyday stress) toward the 'Rest & Digest ' mode which is when healing and rest can take place in the body and is the bodies more natural state of being.
Sunday Sanctuary will be set against a backdrop of especially selected essential oils and aromatics diffused into the space and also made into blends to be applied directly to the skin . The essential oil blends will work on the physical and emotional body to compliment the intention and create scope for us to drop deeper into a restorative state.
Sunday Sanctuary will be appropriate for individuals of all levels of experience. Whether you are a new or a seasoned practitioner, the practice of Restorative and Yin yoga has so many healing benefits. It is a beautiful opportunity to press pause and find refuge from all of the busyness and doing, replacing it with a little 'un-doing'. You will leave feeling refreshed, revived, restored……I look forward to welcoming you….

Q: Creating Javascript Regex in C++ Is it possible to create a RegExp javascript object, in C++? I'm just curious about it.
Example:
const myCLib = require('myCLib');
myCLib("/\\s/", "g"); => return regex object /\g/g

A: Yes, this has been part of the C++ standard since C++11 and no additional libraries are needed. The default syntax for regular expressions is identical to ECMAScript's (JavaScript's) syntax for regular expressions.
#include <regex>

// Note that construction of the regex can be QUITE expensive, and should
// not be done often if you care even a little about performance. Regexes
// are commonly created at global scope.
const std::regex my_regex{"\\s"};

// Raw strings are sometimes more readable...
const std::regex my_regex{R"(\s)"};

The /g modifier behavior is achieved by using the regex differently, see std::regex equivalent of '/g' global modifier

If it wasn't for hiring managers, recruiting would be so easy. Getting hiring managers engaged in the recruiting process is one of the hardest jobs for a recruiter. Many hiring managers are dissatisfied with the pool of qualified candidates presented to them.

During the presentation you gain an insight and tips as how to better engage your hiring managers in the recruiting process.
Recruiters and hiring managers share a common goal, finding great candidates as quickly as possible. But often, the relationship between recruiter and hiring manager is a tense one. Often Hiring managers complain about low-quality candidates while the recruiters struggle to meet high expectations set by hiring managers. Thus, engaging Hiring Managers in the recruiting process will bring a Targeted talent pool, better employer branding and higher Hiring Manager satisfaction.

On 1 April, 1945, the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific Theater began. The battle for the island of Okinawa would last for the next eighty-two days. Through the course of this dramatic battle over 20,000 Americans would lose their lives and over 75,000 Japanese were killed in one of the bloodiest clashes of World War Two. Okinawa: The Last Battle is a remarkably detailed account of this monumental event by four soldiers who witnessed the action first-hand. They take the listener to heart of the fight explaining the preparations for the invasion, under its codename Operation Iceberg, through to the major conflicts at the beachhead, Ie Shima, breaking through the defenses surrounding Shuri and overcoming the last-ditch counter-offenses of the Japanese. This book is a must-listen for anyone interested the Pacific Theater and how the United States Marines and Army were able to overcome the Japanese in the last few months of the war. Corporal Eugene B. Sledge said of the battle: "The Japanese fought to win-it was a savage, brutal, inhumane, exhausting and dirty business." Okinawa: The Last Battle was written by U. S. Army historians who participated in the Ryukyus campaign as members of a group organized to accompany the American forces to the Ryukyus and secure at first hand the materials for a history of their operations. Maj. Roy E. Appleman was attached to the 27th Division, M/Sgt. James M. Burns and Lt. Col. Stevens accompanied the Tenth Army headquarters, and Capt. Russell A. Gugeler served with the 7th Division on Okinawa. After the war many of the authors went on to become prominent military historians. Appleman passed away in 1996, Burns in 2014, Stevens in 2001, and Gugeler in 1985. Their work was first published in 1948.

873 Recruitment Agencies found in the Construction industry. View your closest or specialist recruiters by using the Agency Search below.
The construction industry is one of the largest in the UK and is responsible for around 3 million jobs across the country. Typically, construction trades are particularly sensitive to economic fluctuations but despite the recession of 2008, still contributes around £90 billion to the the UK market. The construction and engineering sectors are continuing to recover from the economic downturn and recruitment of staff is expected to increase by around 7% over the next few years. The sector concerns itself with building work, civil engineering and can even be as broad as HR, manufacturing and sales.
The industry is supported by a range of construction recruitment agencies aiming to provide clients with effective staffing solutions by supplying the most capable candidates to fill permanent or temporary vacancies. These could be in roles ranging from project manager to rail engineer. With the expected increase, admin and secretarial recruitment agencies are also expecting to see requirements for more office based and clerical staff.
Construction and engineering work is generally labour intensive and personnel are expected to have a certain level of physical fitness. Job titles can vary from high paying management positions such as a design or planning manager to more manual labour jobs like bricklayer and plumber. In the UK, those at the high end of the scale can earn a salary of anything to up £80K, with the average generally being in excess of £30K.
The most common route into the construction and engineering sectors is non-graduate with many jobs being considered low skilled. More technical and administrative work such as a maintenance engineer will require a degree level or higher qualification. Most trades have associated NVQ qualifications ranging from level 3 to level 7 whereas the NEBOSH qualification in health and safety is also recommended.
Work in the construction industry can mean long and infrequent hours, often focusing on more than one project, so candidates have to be flexible and adaptable. Staff are also expected to work under labour intensive exhaustive conditions while also working as part of a team.
The largest construction employers in the UK are currently Balfour Beatty, Carillion and Laing O'Rourke although majority of businesses are small to medium sized firms and vacancies are fairly easy to come by. Despite the high level of recruitment, many believe that that the best way into the field of construction and engineering is to become self employed.

Answer Question 8-10 according to the information provided below:
Following are the standards for admitting a student in an engineering course:
The student must:
Have passed 12 th standard in science subject with Maths and have scored at least 65% marks.
Be of 19 years of age or above as on June 30, 2010 3.
Have scored 70% marks in entrance exam.
Be able to pay the fees of Rs. 25,000 at the time of admission.
if a candidate satisfies all above conditions except (3) but has successfully obtained 85% in 12 th standard science exams should be raised to the authority.
Satisfies all above conditions except (4), but can pay half the amount at admission time, can be tentatively admitted. Below are some cases.
The decisions for all the cases are to be taken on the basis of above criteria:
Anirudh Thakur was 18 years of age on 15 th February 2009. He was successful in scoring 68% marks in his 12 th standard science exams with Maths. He obtained 76% in the entrance examination and can pay Rs 25,000 as admission fee.
Should he be admitted in the engineering course?
He should not be admitted
He should be admitted
He should be raised to the authority
He should be admitted tentatively
As mentioned in the standards, since Anirudh was 19 years old on June 30, 2010
he fulfills the second standard. Also he fulfills the first, third, and fourth standards by scoring
68% marks in 12 th standard, 76% is entrance examination and can also be able to pay 25,000 as
admission fee. Hence, he would be admitted in the engineering course.
Vishakha Khanna was 16 year of age on 14 th January 2009. She scored 80% in her 12 th standard science exams with Maths. She obtained 69% in her entrance test and can pay Rs 25,000 as admission fee. Should she be admitted in the engineering course?
As mentioned in the standards, Vishakha was 16 years old on 14 th January 2009,
she does not fulfill the second standard. She fulfills the first and fourth standard as she scored
80% in her 12 th standard science exams with Maths and can also pay 25,000 for her admission
fee. But she fails to fulfill the third standard of scoring 70% marks in the entrance examination. As she fails to fulfill the second and third standards she cannot be admitted in the engineering course.
Mandita secured 72% in her 12 th standard science Exam. She was 20 years old on June 30, 2010. She scored highest in the entrance exam with 92% marks. Should she be admitted in the engineering course?
She should not be admitted
She should be admitted
She should be raised to the authority
Data insufficient
According to the information given in the question and the standards mentioned above, the data is insufficient to answer the question.
Mandita successfully scored good marks in both the higher secondary exam and entrance test, so she fulfills both the first and third standards. She was 20 years old on June 30, 2010, so she also fulfills the second standard. But there is no information about the entrance fee.
Therefore, the data mentioned in the question is insufficient.

Coral reefs' accretion is a combined result of CaCO3 secreting organisms (e.g. corals and coralline algae) and destructive biophysical processes caused by different bioeroder species (e.g. parrotfish, urchins and bioeroding sponges) including natural disasters (e.g. hurricanes and typhoons). In order to effectively monitor reef health, investigating whether reefs are actively accreting CaCO3 or being eroded away is crucial as it reflects the current status of reef frameworks. If reefs are seen to be eroding more than building, they will be vulnerable to drowning with any sea level rise. Parrotfish are herbivores fish that play an important role in limiting the growth of algae on coral reefs thereby creating increasing opportunity for coral recruitment. In addition to their important functional role as herbivores fish, they are considered to be important marine agents of bioerosion due to their habit of removing substratum from the reef when feeding. Large excavating species (usually >35cm) such as the bumphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) are considered to be bioeroders. Bioerosion allows the removal of dead coral, which in turn creates surfaces necessary for benthic organisms to re-colonise a reef thus, facilitating the settlement, growth and survival of corals and coralline algae thereby building resilience in coral reefs. Quantifying the rate of bioerosion for various parrotfish species is essential to assess their contribution towards reefs accretional health.

$3.2-Billion Worth Natural Gas Production Project Launched in Sulu

A considerable amount of money was poured into the Philippines worth $3.2 Bilion in natural gas production project launched in the island of Sulu in Southern Mindanao.
According to the Philippine News Agency (PNA), the liquified natural gas refinery complex is worth roughly P164 billion, considered as the single largest investment ever in the history of Muslim Mindanao region.
The multi-billion project will soon to rise in Sulu, the groundbreaking rite for the natural gas refinery complex was the highlight of activities marking the 39th founding anniversary celebration on October 22 of the Municipality of Lugus.
"This is phenomenal and we welcome it as a great opportunity to enhance lives in Sulu, particularly in our town," said town Mayor Hadar Hajiri, who is also the president and chief executive officer of the Hadar and Medzar Oil and Gas Corp. (HMOGC).
The HMOGC is the local partner of the Energy World International Ltd. (EWIL), a British company engaged in global energy development, which bankrolls the just-launched project with US$3.2 billion (equivalent to some P163-billion), according to Dr. Amildasa Annil.
According to Sulu Vice Governor Sakur Tan II, Mayor Hajiri, and Energy World International Ltd. (EWIL) Executive Director Graham Elliot led the groundbreaking rites at Barangay Parian Kayawan, one of the island villages in Lugus town which were found to have huge natural oil and gas deposits believed linked to the petroleum-rich Brunei Darussalam, Annil said.
The host village is tagged as Lugus Island Petroleum Park (LIPP) complex earmarked to have a liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and export terminal, a seaport, an airport, an industrial precinct, a residential area, and a power generation plant under an enabling memorandum of understanding (MoU).
The MoU was signed last Sept. 16 in Zamboanga City by Mayor Hajiri and Elliot in symbolic ceremony witnessed by Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Chairman Manny Piñol and Western Mindanao Command (WMC) head Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, Annil said.
Vice Gov. Tan II, representing his father-Gov. Sakur Tan Sr., pledged the provincial government's "all-out support" for the project, describing it as a "highly laudable venture offering potentials for more energy supply and employment opportunities in Sulu and other parts of the country."

Please join us for a book talk with Martin Filler about his new book in the Makers of Modern Architecture series, Makers of Modern Architecture, Volume III: From Antoni Gaudí to Maya Lin (Penguin Random House, 2018).
Makers of Modern Architecture, Volume III is an invaluable guide to lives and work of important figures of 20th and 21st century architecture. These studies of more than two dozen master builders–women and men, celebrated and obscure, idealists and opportunists–range from the environmental pioneer Frederick Law Olmsted and the mystical eccentric Antoni Gaudí to the present-day visionaries Frank Gehry and Maya Lin.
Filler's broad knowledge embraces everything from the glittering Viennese luxury of Josef Hoffmann to the heavy-duty construction of the New Brutalists, from the low-cost postwar suburbs of the Levitt Brothers to today's super-tall condo towers on Manhattan's Billionaire's Row. Sometimes the interplay of social and political forces leads to dark results, as with Hitler's favorite architect, Albert Speer, and interior designer, Gerdy Troost. More often, though, heroic figures including Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, and Lina Bo Bardi offer uplifting inspiration for the future of the one art form we all live with—and in—every day.


Almost all day long, markets did almost nothing, almost... Bond markets coped with an adjustment lower in price/higher in yield heading into the domestic session owing to some overnight positivity (or lack of sufficient negativity) surrounding the Cyprus situation. Despite a bit of weakness overnight, volumes were small and the ranges stayed remarkably contained during US trading. This continued to be the case right through the FOMC Announcement, Forecast, and even in the immediate wake of Bernanke's press conference. Before and after the 3pm Treasury close, accounts began pulling up stake in Treasuries. Heading into the 3pm mark, this was actually stable-to-positive as it benefited from short-covering. After 3pm, the tone abruptly shifted and 10's moved just over 2bps higher fairly quickly and in decreasing volume. MBS simply followed suit with Fannie 3.0s ultimately giving up three eighths of a point by 3:40pm, prompting most lenders to reprice negatively.
MBS have just now made it to price gaps vs rate sheet times that suggest negative reprices. Fannie 3.0s are down 12 ticks at 102-23 and 10yr yields are just outside their highs of the day at 1.9511. Widespread reprices aren't "likely" at these levels, but they're increasingly possible. This is the first real "alert" of the day.
It was pretty subtle, but when asked if there was a chance that 2013 would be a repeat of the false starts seen in 2011 and 2012, Bernanke said that the reasons for those distortions are less of a factor in 2013. If we stretch our imagination, that's somewhat of an economically bullish suggestion.
Whether it was due to those headlines or simple tradeflow considerations, bond markets are back to their weakest levels of the day with MBS leading the charge, currently down 8 ticks at 102-27. The gap between rate sheet print times and current levels CONTINUES to fall short of suggesting negative reprices, but the shape of the charts could be a moderate concern for some quicker-to-reprice lenders.
To reiterate and reemphasize, negative reprices aren't likely, but a small minority of lenders could be starting to consider them. 10's look like they're breaking out of their post-FOMC supports, so risks in MBS would soon be increasing if we hit 102-25 and below.
Just an update for inquiring minds... Neither MBS, Treasuries, or stocks have broken their pre-FOMC ranges. MBS fell very briefly back toward their weakest levels and bond markets remain closer to weakness than strength. MBS at 102-29 in Fannie 3.0s. 10yr Yields at 1.9459. Woefully uneventful so far, but again, a bit more cautious vs optimistic as far as trading levels are concerned--all under the caveat that previous lows have yet to break.
Despite the fact that MBS have hit their lowest levels of the session roughly 10 minutes before the FOMC party kicks off, the broader trends in bond markets and equities remains more sideways than "weak." We just happen to be on the far edge of sideways.
This doesn't mean that negative reprices are an impossibility. In fact, with a gap of 5 ticks between highs and lows, it's possible, but most lenders put out rate sheets when prices were only 2-3 ticks higher, if that. As such, any negative reprices would be emotional decisions based on the steady move from highs to lows since noon. Most will likely wait for any post-FOMC volatility to make itself apparent.
Fannie 3.0s are currently down 7 ticks at 102-28 and 10yr yileds are up 4bps on the day at 1.9442. Stocks are flat after opening up roughly 10 points higher in the S&P.

DEVIL's Ice-Breaker ROCKS! Awesome Little 4×4 Monster Driving In Ice And Water!
One example of that is this ATV of a man called Alexei Garagashyan.
In this video Alexei is driving on thin ice on in his makeshift board rotary jeep. His vehicle is called Cheburator (whatever that means). The maximum speed of it is about 40 km/h. the price of it is 800,000 Russian rubles which is about 20,000 U.S. dollars.
Falling through the ice, out of the water and again onto the ice. What a fantastic bravery and superb skills! This guy is definitely ready for the utmost driving challenges.
You think Ken Block is a skilled driver? I'd like to see him doing that.


Sabio Lantz has a handy chart, some of which I don't agree with, but at least it gives a flavor of how complex, and controverted, atonement theology can be.
Sabio doesn't list my own personal preference, the Christus Victor theory, which says that, in the resurrection, Christ defeated the forces of the devil and annihilation. See Gustaf Aulen's book, Christus Victor, for more. He argues that this was the view of the early church, later given reinvigoration by Luther.
An old buddy of mine from beliefnet.com now hosts a blog for her church titled "Hope in Rhodes." The church is Hope Lutheran in Rhodes, Somewhere. She also has her own blog: LutheranChik.
These days, when in the popular mind "Christian" is increasingly thought to be synonymous with bigoted and backward, it's helpful to remember that Christians were in the forefront of the great 19th century wave of social reform that laid the foundation for the later women's rights movement.
I don't know what that phrase brings to mind for you, but it's probably not what you think. "Second Life" is a website where people can make "avatars" of themselves and go here and there and socialize, and what not. I've been on the site, but it's been awhile and I imagine it's much more developed nowadays.
There were about 10-12 attendees for this service, which he leads every Wednesday evening in Second Life. It was a 30-minute service, with the assembled avatars sitting in pews, rising and kneeling according to the liturgical order. What struck me most powerfully were the prayers of the people, that part of the liturgy that invites petitions from the congregation. These avatars prayed for friends and family, for themselves and for the world, and in doing so reminded me of the human hearts and minds being expressed through this virtual experience. This was worship, and even though I was a bit of an eavesdropper, with no personal avatar of my own to put me in this virtual church, I still found myself touched by this virtual Service of the Word.

Q: Dynamic search in HTA Fairly new to the world of VBScript, but have been working with HTML before.
I have found a fully working database script (.hta) with a Microsoft Access database (data.mdb) attatched to it. The scripts lists the DVD's found in the database.
I wish to have the script search the database dynamically, so when I write something in the search filed, the corresponding database results are shown immediately. This way I do not have to push the search button to list the results. I know how to do this in HTML with jQuery, but not in HTA with VBScripts or similar.
The following HTA script is something I have downloaded and will be edited so I only have a search field and below the results will be listed.
I hope someone out there is able to help me out, since I'm stuck on second day after searching without success.

A: It looks like your "Search" button calls a routine named searchdata to perform the search and return the results. So you could just modify your search textbox to fire whenever someone types and have it call the same event. Change this line from:
<input type="text" name="txtsrch" size="43">

to:
<input type="text" name="txtsrch" size="43" language="vbscript" onkeyup="searchdata">

Note that this will work when someone types into the search box but not when they paste, drag-and-drop, etc. For all input events, you'd need to use the oninput event but that's only supported in HTML5.

Fact-finding visit of the Committee on HIV/AIDS
From 9 to 11, the Committee conducted a fact-finding visit, with the aim to meet stakeholders and enable members of the Committee gain awareness on issues related to the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in a country where the prevalence rate is above 10%. This visit was in two phases: the first was to undertake field trips and the second was participation in a forum for stakeholders involved in human rights and HIV in Kenya.
During the field trip, the Committee met the National Aids Council (NAC), and representatives from NGOs such as Kenwa (Kenyan Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS) and Kituo Cha Sheria.
The Committee also participated in a forum which brought together a large panel of stakeholders, including representatives from the National Human Rights Commission, Associations of Persons Living with HIV, representatives from marginalized minority groups and those who are vulnerable to HIV, such as professional sex workers, the LGBTI and organizations involved in legal assistance and human rights advocacy such as the Kenyan Association of Women Lawyers. The meeting was co-chaired by the Chairperson of the Committee and the representative of the National Aids Council. Issues relating to human rights and HIV were reviewed at length and the Committee, as duty demands, explained its mandate and its relevance in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Q: Sorting and Searching DataTables after refreshing table BACKGROUND:
I have a small jquery app that contains widgets. There are 2 types of widgets in this app and they are counter widgets and grid widgets. For grid widgets i am utilizing dataTables.
My app basically connects to a server and recieves various information such as widget names and values for the counter and grid widgets. So based on the information received i dynamically create pages for each widget. Things are working fine at the moment but i am facing a little problem.
Problem
The issue i have right now is to do with my grid widgets which utilize dataTables api.From my server I receive the grid information in this format.
**//EXAMPLE INPUT
/*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>

        <column width="55" type="ro" align="left" sort="str">Player</column>
        <column width="55" type="ro" align="left" sort="str">State</column>
        <column width="55" type="ro" align="left" sort="str">Points</column>

     <row id="1">
        <cell>Lebron King James</cell>
        <cell>Best Mode</cell>
        <cell>45</cell>
     </row>
</rows>
*/**

I then parse this and insert it in the tables. The problem is i am doing a update every 3 seconds since the data for grid gets updated in real time . So when i do a update my search filter and sorting is reset.
So for example below if i am sorting by highest points
PLAYER         POINTS
KING JAMES     45
DERRICK ROSE   30

UPDATE HAPPENS AND MY SORTING WILL GET REST TO THIS

PLAYER         POINTS
DERRICK ROSE    30
KING JAMES      45

A: Datatables has a rich api (http://datatables.net/api) that provides for adding, deleting, and updating rows while keeping the sorting. In your case, the new data might require deleting rows that are no longer in the XML, updating existing rows, and adding new rows that are in the XML but not in the table.
Probably the easiest thing would be to call fnClearTable to remove all current rows and use fnAddData to add all the rows in the XML:
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
oTable.fnClearTable();

$xml.find("row").each(function(index){
    var $cells = $(this).find("cell");
    var c1 = $cells.eq(0).text();
    var c2 = $cells.eq(1).text();
    var c3 = $cells.eq(2).text();

    oTable.fnAddData( [c1, c2, c3]);
});

Catholic Support for War- Another Child Abuse Scandal
On August 14, a report from a grand jury investigation in Pennsylvania identified 300 Catholic priests across the state who had sexually abused more than 1,000 children. "Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all. For decades," the grand jury wrote in one of the broadest inquiries into church sex abuse in U.S. history. Five days earlier, on August 9, in northern Yemen, a Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a school bus with a missile made by Lockheed Martin and supplied to the Saudis by the U.S. government and 44 children were killed. Just as the horror of abuse of children by priests goes beyond the scope of the report from Pennsylvania, the children traumatized and killed by the U.S. military and its proxies globally number far more than those 44. Only one of these events sparked a crisis and soul-searching both in and out of the Catholic Church, but they both should have.
Some Catholic activists for peace and justice have long lived in a state of crisis with our church and have recognized the scandal of "men of God" who bless and cover for the abuse and murder of innocents through war, economic injustice and institutional racism.
"Over and over again in history the Church has become so corrupt it just cries out to heaven for vengeance," Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement said in a 1970 interview. "The crisis is something terrific," she said then, before the problem of sexual abuse of the young was well known. This crisis, she said, was "a result of the corruption in the institutional Church, through money and through their acceptance of the lousy, rotten system."
A radical even before she became a Catholic in 1927 ("I have said, sometimes flippantly, that the mass of bourgeois smug Christians who denied Christ in His poor made me turn to the Communists, and it was the Communists and working with them that made me turn to God…") Dorothy never had the "honeymoon" of blind love enjoyed by many new converts and was always conscious of the Church's flaws and failings. "I was just as much against capitalism and imperialism as ever, and here I was going over to the opposition, because of course the Church was lined up with property, with the wealthy, with the state, with capitalism, with all the forces of reaction," she wrote in her autobiography, The Long Loneliness. "This I had been taught to think and this I still think to a great extent."
Even as a new convert, Dorothy deplored "the scandal of businesslike priests, of collective wealth, the lack of a sense of responsibility for the poor, the worker, the Negro, the Mexican, the Filipino, and even the oppression of these, and the consenting to the oppression of them by our industrialist-capitalist order – these made me feel often that priests were more like Cain than Abel. 'Am I my brother's keeper?' they seemed to say in respect to the social order… There was plenty of charity but too little justice. 'The worst enemies would be those of our own household,' Christ had warned us."
While the use of the word "scandal" to describe the Catholic Church is new and painful for many contemporary Catholics, it was constituent to Dorothy Day's vocabulary: "I loved the Church for Christ made visible, not for itself, because it was so often a scandal to me," she said. More than once she applied Jesus' caution that our enemies are "of our own household" to priests and bishops. She confessed that it was these "enemies," not the Viet Cong, not even the industrial war profiteers and generals, that she found the hardest to love and to forgive as Jesus bade her.
In a 1967 column entitled "In Peace Is My Bitterness Most Bitter" Dorothy wrote about Cardinal Spellman and his support for the war in Vietnam: "But what words are those he spoke — going against even the Pope, calling for victory, total victory? Words are as strong and powerful as bombs, as napalm." "I can sit in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and wrestle for that peace in the bitterness of my soul, a bitterness which many Catholics throughout the world feel, and I can find many things in Scripture to console me, to change my heart from hatred to love of enemy."
In 2002, after growing awareness of clerical abuse of children and twenty two years after Dorothy Day's death, the priest/activist Father John Dear decried the scandal of the Church's support of the war in Afghanistan: "Last November, nearly all the U.S. Catholic bishops voted to bless and support the bombing and mass murder of the people of Afghanistan. We know that some 4000 civilians were killed during the first two months of that U.S. war. Hundreds of children were killed by the United States, and the Catholic bishops condoned their murder." John Dear stated what should be obvious: "Talk about child abuse! The Church cannot condemn child abuse by pedophiles and yet bless the government's murder of children in its wars, if it wants to be consistent and faithful to Christ."
Many Catholics are now struggling with the question, "how can I remain in this abusive Church?" In her meditation on Cardinal Spellman, Dorothy Day asked "as to the Church, where else shall we go, except to the Bride of Christ, one flesh with Christ? Though she is a harlot at times, she is our Mother." Dorothy often quoted theologian Romano Guardini, who said "the Church is the Cross on which Christ is always crucified. One cannot separate Christ from his bloody, painful Church. One must live in a state of permanent dissatisfaction with the Church."
Long time peacemaker and resister, Father Daniel Berrigan once said "I don't know a more irreligious attitude, one more utterly bankrupt of any human content, than one which permits children to be destroyed." In a situation like the present, satisfaction with the Church and its institutions is unnatural, sinful, even, and to view the suffering of children without scandal is inhuman. For too long, the Church has abetted the abuse, exploitation and murder of children. I pray that the rising outrage in the Church over the exploitation of children, and the resolve to protect them, will encompass also the children who are victims of war.

He's the goddamn.. oh.. wait..
Revered by many, criticized by more, and read by all. This seems to be the fate of one man that's been called everything from one of modern comics' forefathers, to a fear-mongering mad man. Despite what many may think of Frank Miller, it must be recognized that his work has made a serious impact on the way we see comics today, many of his writings still reverberating consequences decades after being put to paper.
Not only does he write comics, but he also claims the title of artist for many of his works. How many people in the industry can say this? A handful, at best, and none with the same level of exposure as Miller. Two of his pieces have gone on to become major motion pictures (300 and Sin City), and one was made into an animated feature length movie (Batman: Year One). His work on such already developed characters as Batman and Daredevil have taken the characters to lengths never before seen in comics, for better or worst.

Q: hosting application on GAE & database on different server I want to host my java web application on GAE and my database on different server(GoDaddy).
Google data store is free for only 6 months, So i would like to use database of different hosting(goDaddy). So is it possibe(in case of GAE)??
I am able to use database of my hosting(goDaddy) from my local system but when i upload my application to GAE than it doesn't work.

A: If your database provides a REST API for remote connections, then it should not be any problem. If you can access your database by using Sockets (i.e. java.net package) then this is not possible.
Also, Google App Engine provides free quota based on usage and not time. For more information please take a look at App Engine Quotas
