A constant is an identifier for a simple value (number, text) that cannot be changed during script execution. Constants are case-sensitive and by convention are written in uppercase. Alongside many constants automatically available during script execution, there are also "magic" constants whose value depends on where they are read.
Historically, a tax was the way in which the inhabitants of a land, village, or kingdom could participate in governance and even earn the right to live behind a wall - which in turn meant security. As a result of war or other upheavals, the state could demand higher tax payments. Since monetary circulation was not popular in ancient times, people paid however they could - through corvée labour, payment in grain, or military service.
The idea of elevating the number 33 had been stirring for a year already, but one shouldn't tempt fate. After all, the notion of the age of Christ and a certain turning point in a person's life has taken root in the consciousness of the entire Christian world. I have looked a little further into why this number seems so significant to so many people, from the perspective of various sciences, pseudo-sciences and history.
This weekend we decided to treat ourselves and headed to Sigulda, where we took advantage of the special "Spring Awakening" offer at hotel „Ezeri", which included an overnight stay in a double room in the „Flower House" and unlimited use of the sauna-pool complex.
Positive changes have touched not only the visual appearance of draugiem.lv, but a step has finally been taken in the direction of socialisation - a draugiem.lv page follower (fan) widget has been created. It must be said, previously it was also possible to load page followers in JSON format using JavaScript, but that stopped working with the launch of the new design. And as is customary in the best of manners - without prior notice and without offering an alternative. And here I discovered that draugiem finally has a fan widget that can very conveniently be integrated into any page using iframe.
This is one of those things where you can really let your imagination run free. First you need to gather many different small elements - gemstones, ceramic, glass, wood or metal beads, fittings and so on - so you can later combine them successfully. Here I will show an example of how to easily make three different pairs of earrings.
The day has equalled the night - the turning of the sun. After 40 days of the Great Lent, the Great Day has arrived. After a longer time of restraint, modesty and quiet, now splendour, bustle and the joy of life pour over the brim. As at other celebrations, so too at Easter let us dedicate good, bright, strong and joy-filled words to one another!
This weekend, from 8th to 10th April at Ķīpsala, the exhibition „Intertextil Balticum 2011" will take place, this year gathering a large number of handcraft masters, fashion accessory designers and artists.

Visitors will be able to both view and purchase garments and accessories made in various techniques, participate in masterclasses and simply spend time well in a creative atmosphere.

Yet another hobby of mine - sewing various brooches, felting accessories, creating decoupage objects, making jewellery. Here you can browse what has come of it, appraise it, and perhaps spot a piece of jewellery to make your own. All brooches, necklaces and earrings are handmade. Below is a more detailed description of each creation, each of which I have also given a name - personalised, so to speak.
