Albany Academy, in partnership with Chorley Council, hosted a project designed to increase the confidence and communications skills of female students.
A selection of Year 9 girls attended a series of workshops and activities which was delivered as part of Chorley Council's, Street Games initiative, called 'Us Girls' which is designed to encourage more girls to pursue a healthy lifestyle and find enjoyment in taking part in physical activity.
The students enjoyed classroom based lessons which were specifically designed to improve the confidence of the girls. The project also raised awareness of a range topics that can affect young women, particular focusing on issues such as self-confidence, body image, health and fitness and their communication skills with their peers. The students also sampled two new activities as they enjoyed a boxing taster session as well a learning new dance moves during a street dance class.
The project produced some excellent responses from the Albany girls who to complete the project attended an outdoors adventure day at the Anderton Centre. Here the girls were able to challenge themselves to tackle their fears in a team and as individuals.


Unlock the power to manage your mobile prints!
Our "Handy Tips" Series is breaking with tradition, slightly, by dedicating this issue solely to a quick overview of a selection of methods to enable Mobile Device printing. Hopefully, this might make it all seem a little less complicated.
You may already know that hand-held tablets and smartphones have been driving the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) market and means that mobile printing will, undoubtedly, strengthen in importance.
Olivetti's MFPs, for example, are well featured to handle a variety of methods for enabling mobile printing to their machines with the added benefit of well thought-through authentication for securing confidential data.
Listed here are just some of the technologies available to enable printing from mobile devices. The list isn't exhaustive but these are among the most commonly used methods.
To use an AirPrint™ compatible printer users have to connect to a printer on a local Wi-Fi network and it must be connected to the same network as an iOS device. The AirPrint™ printer is selected from an app - many are free to install.
Google Cloud Print works on mobile phones, tablets, Chromebooks, PCs and any other web-connected device a user wants to print from. Printers are managed from the Cloud making it easy for anyone, wherever they are, to find their nearest printer. Simply register with Google Cloud Print using a feature of Google Chrome.
Olivetti machines support PageScope™ Mobile App, available as a free download for both iOS, Android and even Windows devices to connect to Olivetti MFPs using Wi-Fi. It enables users to print documents and images as well as import scanned data and even supports QR Code scanning and NFC.
On the operator panel of Olivetti's latest models there is a special area allowing connection when a mobile touches it, or is brought within a few centimetres of it.
Olivetti works with partners such as YSoft and PaperCut, for authentication and data security. Their software includes a number of modules such as Print Roaming (or Follow-Me Printing), Mobile Print and Rules Based Printing using a web link that users can access to enable printing which removes the risk of incoming viruses.
MFPs such as the Olivetti d-Color MF range feature Network Cards and Licence Kits which give a choice of options for printing or creating a Wi-Fi "Hotspot", where Wi-Fi is not standard. Users can email directly to the d-Color MF range and print out attachments, which could be PDF, XPS, DOCX, TIFF, PNG files etc. It's also possible to scan straight to Word, Excel or PowerPoint and can take advantage of OCR functionality.

Q: SWF object - why should I use it All my sites need to be search engine friendly - ie readable by search engines. However, I kind of like flash and would like to integrate it in a friendly way.
I have the option of swfobject, which allows proper page names and serves different pages to the user vs search engine.
However, I am wondering why there would be a need to use swfobject. For instance, I could just use a normal php cms page and insert flash elements into it. When the page is called by a search engine, just serve the pure html, whereas a user would get the flash.
I'd really appreciate to find out other points of view on this subject and the benefits of the different approaches.
Many thanks
K

A: First of all, the html code you have to write to embed an swf file is different for some browsers.
Firefox, Chrome, .. use <object> tags while IE uses <embed> tags.
SWFObject is a javascript 'library' (kinda silly since it is only one file :P) that can inject the proper html tags directly into the DOM tree, and handles those browser differences for you.
Furthermore there were some security concerns for flash cross site scriptings attacks in the past.
I know for a fact that in older Flex Builder versions there were problems with the generated html-templates which could potentially cause major security issues.
Nowadays in newer versions of Flash Builder, Adobe uses SWFObject by default to create html wrapper files.
So, to answer your question:
Is it really necessary? No, it's not if you know what you are doing.
Is it convenient and an Adobe standard, yes it is.
Cheers

The weird part about the Daily Express' claim that Tottenham want to sign Declan Rice is that they suggest he will be a replacement for the outgoing Christian Eriksen.
They tell us 'Spurs are preparing for the possible exit' of the Dane, and that 'Rice has been on Tottenham's radar for some time'. Yeah, but not as a creative midfielder.
Anyway, West Ham apparently 'face a battle' to keep Rice despite him signing a five-and-a-half-year contract at the club two months ago. Liverpool want him and Manchester United have previously been linked, but it is Spurs who are ready to firm up their interest with a £35m offer.
As an aside, that bid is mentioned only in the headline, not in the actual story body. Seems legit.
I can't see Rice going anywhere funny we had John Terry as a kid and he went to the Bridge and Decs has come the other way, if he helps us gain half the success of JT then I will be chuffed to bits but he seems level headed and the attention through performances has of course brought him to the attention of more affluent clubs, Rice could have walked away when contract talks stalled but he stayed put City, Utd, Pool would easily cough up the cash so I am confident that the club that gave him his break is the club he will remain at for a long time to come.
Rice to replace Ericsson? No way lol. Totally different players.
But not to the spuds even the two daves are not that stupid...I'm more worried about Anderson going in the summer because i reckon apart from citeh one of the other big clubs(spuds not included obviously)will be in for someone who now has got to grips with footy in this country and makes it look easy...the way he moves and glides past players sees the pass early and scores as well...not many like him outside the top 6 so i think we will do well to keep him this summer.
We will be lucky imo to hold on to him past the summer..as for Rice I'm sure he knows that if he went to one of the big boys this early in his career it could ruin him,in the sense he might not get much playing time..
i think that pellegrini took the job on the basis he can build a team. if we start selling anderson as well as the sure to go arnautovic, then most likely i won't blame him when pellegrini quits.
but would Anderson and lanzini be able to play in the same midfield ?
Lanzini can play central. So we could end up with Anderson Lanzini yarmalenko in a 3 behind a striker. actually when we get rid of Arnautovic, Antonio could play up front with those 3 behind if he works on his finishing. he has energy, pace, power and good in the air. i could see it working rather than him losing his place to yarmalenko.
Hope we don't end up with lurch.
Sounds like a dream dicksy,will we ever have such luck to have em on the pitch at the same time.there could and should be plenty of goals out of them 3,let alone a decent striker.
Totscum can do 1, no way do they get our rice rice baby.
Lol. Vanilla ice would be proud.
They say that Pep Guardiola has three Premier League stars 'at the top of his list' for transfers in the summer. Declan Rice, 'seen as Fernandinho's replacement', is the first and 'would cost around £70m'.
cheeses me off when i hear the Guardiola love festing, i mean this is a guy who just points to a player and says - i want him - and out comes the cheque book. what happened to real managers who actually had to work with what they have?
yes burkie, its ridiculous. look at Man city paying 70 mill for Mahrez. what a waste of money for a player they can't even play. no one says a word against guardiola though, he is the messiah even when he buys a dud.
To clubs like citeh we are just a nursery looking after players for the likes of them they see something they want they will get it but for £70million i do not think so look at how old he is the club would struggle too turn down a huge bid but the bidding must start at £100million for the simple reason if he signed say a 5 year contract then for those 5 years if he stayed he would of just cost them £10million which is chickenfeed in todays world so too double it to £20million a year is still nothing to clubs like that how many have players never making the first team costing more than £20million in there squads as it is.
I'll probably get shot down for saying it but so be it!!
Like you, supported them for over 50 years and only really known yoyo seasons and northern comedians in the 60's and 70's joking that there is a TV series based on West Ham , its called "Survival"
i agree 65 to an extent.
i agree 65 to an extent. however the game is such nowadays that if you want to compete for that bridesmaid position outside the top 6, you need big investment ala everton and west ham. i do believe we could have stayed put though, look at watford and bournemouth for proof of that. however, I'm with Dartford, we've moved now, its over and we can't go back. so we gotta make the most of the stadium and try and be positive about it.

text:
Ignatius of Antioch (; Greek: Ἰγνάτιος Ἀντιοχείας, Ignátios Antiokheías; died c. 108/140 AD), also known as Ignatius Theophorus (, Ignátios ho Theophóros, lit. "the God-bearing"), was an early Christian writer and Patriarch of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. This correspondence now forms a central part of a later collection of works known to be authored by the Apostolic Fathers. He is considered to be one of the three most important of these, together with Clement of Rome and Polycarp. His letters also serve as an example of early Christian theology. Important topics they address include ecclesiology, the sacraments, and the role of bishops.

Life

Nothing is known of Ignatius' life apart from what may be inferred internally from his letters, except from later (sometimes spurious) traditions. It is said Ignatius converted to Christianity at a young age. Tradition identifies Ignatius, along with his friend Polycarp, as disciples of John the Apostle. Later in his life, Ignatius was chosen to serve as Bishop of Antioch; the fourth-century Church historian Eusebius writes that Ignatius succeeded Evodius. Theodoret of Cyrrhus claimed that St. Peter himself left directions that Ignatius be appointed to the episcopal see of Antioch. Ignatius called himself Theophorus (God Bearer). A tradition arose that he was one of the children whom Jesus Christ took in his arms and blessed.

Veneration
Ignatius' feast day was kept in his own Antioch on 17 October, the day on which he is now celebrated in the Catholic Church and generally in western Christianity, although from the 12th century until 1969 it was put at 1 February in the General Roman Calendar.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church it is observed on 20 December. The Synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria places it on the 24th of the Coptic Month of Koiak (which is also the 24th day of the fourth month of Tahisas in the Synaxarium of The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church), corresponding in three years out of every four to 20 December in the Julian Calendar, which currently falls on 2 January of the Gregorian Calendar.

Ignatius is honored in the Church of England and in the Episcopal Church on 17 October.

Martyrdom

Circumstances of martyrdom
Instead of being executed in his home town of Antioch, Ignatius was escorted to Rome by a company of ten Roman soldiers:

Scholars consider Ignatius' transport to Rome unusual, since those persecuted as Christians would be expected to be punished locally. Stevan Davies has pointed out that "no other examples exist from the Flavian age of any prisoners except citizens or prisoners of war being brought to Rome for execution."

If Ignatius had been a Roman citizen, he could have appealed to the emperor, but then he would usually have been beheaded rather than tortured. Furthermore, the epistles of Ignatius state that he was put in chains during the journey to Rome, but it was illegal under Roman law for a citizen to be put in bonds during an appeal to the emperor.

Allen Brent argues that Ignatius was transferred to Rome at the request of the emperor in order to provide entertainment to the masses by being killed in the Colosseum. Brent insists, contrary to some, that "it was normal practice to transport condemned criminals from the provinces in order to offer spectator sport in the Colosseum at Rome."

Stevan Davies rejects the idea that Ignatius was transported to Rome for the games at the Colosseum. He reasons that "if Ignatius was in some way a donation by the Imperial Governor of Syria to the games at Rome, a single prisoner seems a rather miserly gift." Instead, Davies proposes that Ignatius may have been indicted by a legate, or representative, of the governor of Syria while the governor was away temporarily, and sent to Rome for trial and execution. Under Roman law, only the governor of a province or the emperor himself could impose capital punishment, so the legate would have faced the choice of imprisoning Ignatius in Antioch or sending him to Rome. Davies postulates that the legate may have decided to send Ignatius to Rome so as to minimize any further dissension among the Antiochene Christians.

Christine Trevett has called Davies' suggestion "entirely hypothetical" and concludes that no fully satisfactory solution to the problem can be found, writing, "I tend to take the bishop at his word when he says he is a condemned man. But the question remains, why is he going to Rome? The truth is that we do not know."

Route of travel to Rome
During the journey to Rome, Ignatius and his entourage of soldiers made a number of lengthy stops in Asia Minor, deviating from the most direct land route from Antioch to Rome. Scholars generally agree on the following reconstruction of Ignatius' route of travel:
 Ignatius first traveled from Antioch, in the province of Syria, to Asia Minor. It is uncertain whether he traveled by sea or by land.
 He was then taken to Smyrna, via a route that bypassed the cities of Magnesia, Tralles, and Ephesus, but likely passed through Philadelphia (cf. Ign. Phil. 7).
 Ignatius then traveled to Troas, where he boarded a ship bound for Neapolis in Macedonia (cf. Ign. Pol. 8).
 He then passed through the city of Philippi (cf. Pol. Phil. 9).
 After this, he took some land or sea route to Rome.
During the journey, the soldiers seem to have allowed Ignatius to meet with entire congregations of Christians while in chains, at least while he was in Philadelphia (cf. Ign. Phil. 7), and numerous Christian visitors and messengers were allowed to meet with him on a one-on-one basis. These messengers allowed Ignatius to send six letters to nearby churches, and one to Polycarp, the bishop of Smyrna.

These aspects of Ignatius' martyrdom are also regarded by scholars as unusual. It is generally expected that a prisoner would be transported on the most direct, cost-effective route to their destination. Since travel by land in the Roman Empire was between five and fifty-two times more expensive than travel by sea, and Antioch was a major port city, the most efficient route would likely have been entirely by sea. Steven Davies argues that Ignatius' circuitous route to Rome can only be explained by positing that he was not the main purpose of the soldiers' trip, and that the various stops in Asia Minor were for other state business. He suggests that such a scenario would also explain the relative freedom that Ignatius was given to meet with other Christians during the journey.

Date of martyrdom
Due to the sparse and fragmentary nature of the documentation of Ignatius' life and martyrdom, the date of his death is subject to a significant amount of uncertainty. Tradition places the martyrdom of Ignatius in the reign of Trajan, who was emperor of Rome from 98 to 117 AD. The earliest source for this Trajanic date is the 4th century church historian Eusebius of Caesarea, who is regarded by some modern scholars as an unreliable source for chronological information regarding the early church. It has been argued that Eusebius had an ideological interest in dating church leaders as early as possible, and ensuring that there were no gaps in succession between the original apostles of Jesus and the leaders of the church in his day.

While many scholars accept the traditional dating of Ignatius' martyrdom under Trajan, others have argued for a somewhat later date. Richard Pervo dated Ignatius' death to 135–140 AD. British classicist Timothy Barnes has argued for a date in the 140s AD, on the grounds that Ignatius seems to have quoted a work of the Gnostic Ptolemy in one of his epistles, who only became active in the 130s. Étienne Decrept has argued on the basis of the witnesses of John Malalas and the Acts of Drosis that Ignatius, along with other Christians, was martyred under the reign of Trajan, but during Apollo's festival in July 116 AD and in response to the earthquake that had struck Antioch at the end of 115 AD.

Death and aftermath
Ignatius himself wrote that he would be thrown to the beasts, and in the fourth century Eusebius reports tradition that this came to pass, which is then repeated by Jerome who is the first to explicitly mention "lions." John Chrysostom is the first to allude to the Colosseum as the place of Ignatius' martyrdom. Contemporary scholars are uncertain that any of these authors had sources other than Ignatius' own writings.

According to a medieval Christian text titled Martyrium Ignatii, Ignatius' remains were carried back to Antioch by his companions after his martyrdom. The sixth-century writings of Evagrius Scholasticus state that the reputed remains of Ignatius were moved by the Emperor Theodosius II to the Tychaeum, or Temple of Tyche, which had been converted into a church dedicated to Ignatius. In 637, when Antioch was captured by the Rashidun Caliphate, the relics were transferred to the Basilica di San Clemente in Rome.

The Martyrium Ignatii
There is a purported eye-witness account of his martyrdom, named the Martyrium Ignatii. It is presented as being an eye-witness account for the church of Antioch, attributed to Ignatius' companions, Philo of Cilicia, deacon at Tarsus, and Rheus Agathopus, a Syrian.

Its most reliable manuscript is the 10th-century Codex Colbertinus (Paris), in which the Martyrium closes the collection. The Martyrium presents the confrontation of the bishop Ignatius with Trajan at Antioch, a familiar trope of Acta of the martyrs, and many details of the long, partly overland voyage to Rome. The Synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria says that he was thrown to the wild beasts that devoured him and rent him to pieces.

Epistles

The following seven epistles preserved under the name of Ignatius are generally considered authentic, since they were mentioned by the historian Eusebius in the first half of the fourth century.

Seven original epistles:
 The Epistle to the Ephesians,
 The Epistle to the Magnesians,
 The Epistle to the Trallians,
 The Epistle to the Romans,
 The Epistle to the Philadelphians,
 The Epistle to the Smyrnaeans,
 The Epistle to Polycarp, a bishop of Smyrna.

Recensions
The text of these epistles is known in three different recensions, or editions: the Short Recension, found in a Syriac manuscript; the Middle Recension, found only in Greek manuscripts; and the Long Recension, found in Greek and Latin manuscripts.

For some time, it was believed that the Long Recension was the only extant version of the Ignatian epistles, but around 1628 a Latin translation of the Middle Recension was discovered by Archbishop James Ussher, who published it in 1646. For around a quarter of a century after this, it was debated which recension represented the original text of the epistles. But ever since John Pearson's strong defense of the authenticity of the Middle Recension in the late 17th century, there has been a scholarly consensus that the Middle Recension is the original version of the text. The Long Recension is the product of a fourth-century Arian Christian, who interpolated the Middle Recension epistles in order posthumously to enlist Ignatius as an unwitting witness in theological disputes of that age. This individual also forged the six spurious epistles attributed to Ignatius (see  below).

Manuscripts representing the Short Recension of the Ignatian epistles were discovered and published by William Cureton in the mid-19th century. For a brief period, there was a scholarly debate on the question of whether the Short Recension was earlier and more original than the Middle Recension. But by the end of the 19th century, Theodor Zahn and J. B. Lightfoot had established a scholarly consensus that the Short Recension is merely a summary of the text of the Middle Recension, and was therefore composed later.

Authenticity
Ever since the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, the authenticity of all the Ignatian epistles has come under intense scrutiny. John Calvin called the epistles "rubbish published under Ignatius' name." Some Protestants have tended to want to deny the authenticity of all the epistles attributed to Ignatius because they seem to attest to the existence of a monarchical episcopate in the second century. The Catholic Church has long held up the authenticity of the letters from past to present.

In 1886, Presbyterian minister and church historian William Dool Killen published an essay extensively arguing that none of the epistles attributed to Ignatius were authentic. Instead, he argued that Callixtus, bishop of Rome, forged the letters around AD 220 to garner support for a monarchical episcopate, modeling the renowned Saint Ignatius after his own life to give precedent for his own authority. Killen contrasted this episcopal polity with the presbyterian polity in the writings of Polycarp.

Some doubts about the authenticity of the original letters continued into the 20th century. In the late 1970s and 1980s, the scholars Robert Joly, Reinhard Hübner, Markus Vinzent, and Thomas Lechner argued forcefully that the epistles of the Middle Recension were forgeries written during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161–180 AD). Around the same time, the scholar Joseph Ruis-Camps published a study arguing that the Middle Recension letters were pseudepigraphically composed based on an original, smaller, authentic corpus of four letters (Romans, Magnesians, Trallians, and Ephesians). In 2009, Otto Zwierlein took up the thesis of a fake, made around 170.

These publications stirred up tremendous, heated controversy in the scholarly community at the time, but in 2017, most patristic scholars accepted the authenticity of the seven original epistles. However, J. Lookadoo said in 2020 that "the debate has received renewed energy since the late 1990s and shows few signs of slowing."

The original texts of six of the seven original letters are found in the Codex Mediceo Laurentianus written in Greek in the 11th century (which also contains the pseudepigraphical letters of the Long Recension, except that to the Philippians), while the letter to the Romans is found in the Codex Colbertinus.

Style and structure
Ignatius's letters bear signs of being written in great haste and without a proper plan, such as run-on sentences and an unsystematic succession of thought. Ignatius modelled his writings after those written by (or attributed to) Paul, Peter, and John, and even quoted or paraphrased biblical entries by these apostles' works freely, such as when he quoted 1 Corinthians 1:18, in his letter to the Ephesians:

Theology

Christology
Ignatius is known to have taught the deity of Christ:
The same section in text of the Long Recension says the following:

He stressed the value of the Eucharist, calling it a "medicine of immortality" (Ignatius to the Ephesians 20:2). The very strong desire for bloody martyrdom in the arena, which Ignatius expresses rather graphically in places, may seem quite odd to the modern reader. An examination of his theology of soteriology shows that he regarded salvation as one being free from the powerful fear of death and thus to face martyrdom bravely.

Ignatius is claimed to be the first known Christian writer to argue in favor of Christianity's replacement of the Sabbath with the Lord's Day:

This passage has provoked textual debate since the only Greek manuscript extant read Κατα κυριακήν ζωήν ζωντες which could be translated "living according to the Lord's life." Most scholars, however, have followed the Latin text (secundum dominicam) omitting ζωήν and translating "living according to Lord's Day".

Ecclesiology
Ignatius is the earliest known Christian writer to emphasize loyalty to a single bishop in each city (or diocese) who is assisted by both presbyters (priests) and deacons. Earlier writings only mention  bishops  presbyters.

For instance, his writings on bishops, presbyters and deacons:

He is also responsible for the first known use of the Greek word katholikos (καθολικός), or catholic, meaning "universal", "complete" and "whole" to describe the Church, writing:

Joseph Lightfoot states the word "catholic (καθόλου)" simply means "universal" and can be found not only before and after Ignatius amongst ecclesiastical and classical writers, but centuries before the Christian era. Ignatius of Antioch is also attributed the earliest recorded use of the term "Christianity" ()  AD.

Parallels with Peregrinus Proteus
Several scholars have noted that there are striking similarities between Ignatius and the Christian-turned-Cynic philosopher Peregrinus Proteus, as described in Lucian's famous satire The Passing of Peregrinus:
 Both Ignatius and Peregrinus show a morbid eagerness to die.
 Both characters are, or have been, Christians.
 Both are imprisoned by Roman authorities.
 Upon the arrest of both prisoners, Christians from all over Asia Minor come to visit them and bring them gifts (cf. Peregr. 12–13).
 Both prisoners sent letters to several Greek cities shortly before their deaths as "testaments, counsels, and laws", appointing "couriers" and "ambassadors" for the purpose.
It is generally believed that these parallels are the result of Lucian intentionally copying traits from Ignatius and applying them to his satire of Peregrinus. If the dependence of Lucian on the Ignatian epistles is accepted, then this places an upper limit on the date of the epistles: around the 160s AD, just before The Passing of Peregrinus was written.

In 1892, Daniel Völter sought to explain the parallels by proposing that the Ignatian epistles were in fact written by Peregrinus, and later edited to conceal their provenance, but this speculative theory has failed to make a significant impact on the academic community.

Pseudo-Ignatius
Epistles attributed to Saint Ignatius but of spurious origin (their author is often called Pseudo-Ignatius in English) include:
 Epistle to the Tarsians
 Epistle to the Antiochians
 Epistle to Hero, a Deacon of Antioch
 Epistle to the Philippians
 The Epistle of Maria the Proselyte to Ignatius
 Epistle to Mary at Neapolis, Zarbus
 First Epistle to St. John
 Second Epistle to St. John
 The Epistle of Ignatius to the Virgin Mary

Tiny Brains is the brainchild of Spearhead Games, an independent studio of AAA veterans based out of Montreal. A next generation party game, Tiny Brainsredefines "co-op" by challenging players to work together as one as one of four tiny (but super-powered!) lab animals. Thrown into a gauntlet of physics puzzles, the four "Tiny Brains" must combine their unique abilities to make it through a mad scientist's trick-ridden maze. Featuring a story mode, dozens of time-based and endless challenges, and a few surprises like the competitive "Tiny Soccer" mode, Tiny Brains is the most superhero fun you can have on a miniature scale.
Contribute to Tiny Brains User Reviews by rating and commenting!
One of the achievements, "Intelligence Level: Completionist", is awarded for beating the game in "Jules Mode". The achievement's icon is a picture of Jirard Khalil, best known for his YouTube series The Completionist.

Q: How to make date selection using javascript fromat? In my PHP project I'm using 3 comboboxes to select Year, month and date. But I can't format that 3 values to save as a date in database in 2013-10-01 type. Given below is my code to select date.

      Date of Birth :

                <option value="31" />31
            </select>

Is there any way to select date and save date in more accuracy way, like given below textfeild?

            Model no :
            <input type="text" name="model_no" id="model_no" placeholder="Enter Modle No" />

A: use Month option like this
<select name="dtb_mon">
<option value="1">January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="4">Apirl</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">June</option>
<option value="7">July</option>
<option value="8">August</option>
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10">October</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>

after submit your form
<?php
$date_string=$_POST['dtb_yr']."-".$_POST['dtb_mon']."-".$_POST['dtb_day'];
?>

A: Rather than using 3 different combo boxes to format your date, I think it might be easier to use a single text field with Jquery UI's datepicker. http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#date-formats
For the format you are looking for, you can customize the datepicker's output. The documentation covers this quite well.
If you really want 3 different boxes, Zahidul's answer should work.
EDIT
Use this code as a guide:
<!doctype html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>jQuery UI Datepicker - Format date</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">

Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker" size="30">

The important part is $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "dateFormat", "dd mm yy" ); where you are formatting the date according to your needs.

A: You can use Jquery Date picker that you only need to select date and it can be save in specified  format in database.
Add this code in head of your HTML document.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

Add this in your form
in HTML:
<input type="text" name="dtb_yr" id="dtb_yr" placeholder="Select Date" />

Add this code in PHP file
In PHP:
 $dtb_yr =  $_POST['dtb_yr'];

A: You can use the values that you get and at the PHP side you can use STR_TO_DATE function of MYSQL.you need a little mapper for having the month number from the text. Then you use this function--->get the output and use it for insertion in your database.check out the article here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_str-to-date
 STR_TO_DATE('01,5,2013','%d,%m,%Y');

BTW, theres a typo in April.

Slot time is a concept in computer networking. It is at least twice the time it takes for an electronic pulse (OSI Layer 1 - Physical) to travel the length of the maximum theoretical distance between two nodes. In CSMA/CD networks such as Ethernet, the slot time is an upper limit on the acquisition of the medium, a limit on the length of a packet fragment generated by a collision, and the scheduling quantum for retransmission.

Since a pulse's runtime will never exceed slot time (the maximum theoretical time for a frame to travel a network), the network interface controller, or NIC waits a minimum of slot time before retransmitting after a collision happened, in order to allow any pulse that was initiated at the time that the waiting NIC was requested to send, to reach all other nodes. By allowing the pulse to reach the waiting NIC, a local collision occurs (i.e. while still sending) rather than a late collision occurring (after sending may or may not have ended). By having the collision occur at the NIC (local) and not on the wire (late) CSMA/CD implementation recover the situation by retransmitting later.

Some times for Ethernet slot time include:

See DIFS for information on 802.11x slot times.

For the Spies Among Us
Putinism, Scandal, Terrorism
This morning I received a odd question in my daily Vedomosti alert: Would you be more careful associating with foreigners because of increased secrecy in Russia? What a curious question, especially since I am one of those foreigners who relies on Russians help to find places to live, access to archives, academic correspondence etc. Why would they have to suddenly be more careful? A click on the link took me to the Vedomosti article "Law on spies enters its second reading." The article reports that a new spy law moved to the second pit-stop on the road to legality after the Russian Duma unanimously accepted its first version. Introduced way back in December 2008, left dormant by Medvedev, but now gaining new impetus, the law seeks to revise the existing high treason and espionage statutes (Article 275 and 276 of the Russian Penal Code) by broadening their scope. For the new law's framers, the need for revision was practical: high treason is too "difficult to prove especially because its necessary to demonstrate the hostile character of the activity." Among other edits, the new law conveniently removes the phrase "hostile activity" and inserts "harmful to the security of the Russian Federation" in its place. According to Vedomosti the implications are:
On the details and means of obtaining state secrets: [a secret] can be "entrusted" to the accused or become "known [to them] in service, work, or school," and "in other instances stipulated by the laws of the Russian Federation." It's not specified what these other instances are. It will be considered criminal to provide "financial, material, technical, advice and assistance." And instead of saying "damage to the external security," the law now simply says "damage the security" of Russia. This includes activities against the constitutional order, sovereignty, and territorial and state integrity.
The new statute expands the punishment for the collection of information deemed a state secret (it describes a case where information is gathered, but not passed along or advanced). One aggravating factor, among others, will be the means of distributing such information (For example, in the media or on the internet.) as well as "the movement of those possessors of information outside the Russian Federation." In other words, a person in illegal possession of secrets, but does not go abroad will be punished less severely (up to four years) than those who take sensitive information abroad, regardless of the purpose of the trip (for example on vacation or meeting with a resident)." This last instance carries a sentence of three to eight years.
But let's not take Vedomosti's word for it. Here's the old Article 275 and 276 and proposed revisions:
High treason that is espionage, disclosure of state secrets, or any other assistance rendered to a foreign State, a foreign organization, or their representatives in hostile activities to the detriment of the external security of the Russian Federation, committed by a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Can become:
High treason that is acts that are hostile to the security of the Russian Federation committed by the citizen of the Russian Federation: espionage, the delivery to a foreign state, international or foreign organization or to their representatives information considered a state secret entrusted to persons or have become known to him in service, work, or education, or rendering financial, material-technical, consultation or any help to foreign states, international or foreign organizations or their representatives in activities directed against the security of the Russian Federation, including its constitutional order, sovereignty, and territorial and state integrity.
Article 276 goes from:
The transfer, and also collection, theft, or keeping for the purpose of transfer to a foreign state, a foreign organization, or their representatives of information constituting a state secret, and also transfer or collection of other information under the order of a foreign intelligence service, to the detriment of the external security of the Russian Federation.
The transfer and also the compilation, abduction or storage for the purpose of transferring to a foreign state, international or foreign organization or to their representatives information considered a state secret, and also the transfer or compilation by assignment of a foreign secret service or persons acting in its interests any information for their use to harm the security of the Russian Federation (espionage).
From the pithy to the verbose, and from the "hard to prove" to legal elasticity. It's no wonder the proposed law has Russian NGOs in the tizzy.

The Ambassador Bridge is now open following protests

The Ambassador Bridge is open after a week of protests.
The Blockade
'Dumb and Silent, we are led to slaughter like sheep.'
That's what one sign read at a protest blocking Huron Church Road in Windsor.
For 7-days, protesters blocked the largest international border crossing in North America, the corridor responsible for ¼ of all Canada-US cross-border trade.
Huron Church Road and other roads leading to the Ambassador Bridge were partially or fully obstructed by protestors. Windsor police and Campus Community police are present to monitor the situation. They have made themselves at home, several trucks, tents and portable toilets- and speakers blasting music for the last several days, and a lot of Canadian flags- more Canadian flags than you typically see on Canada day. In a way, the blockade looks like a week-long street party. Their favourite chants are 'Freedom' and 'Let's go Brandon.'
The Ambassador Bridge is vital for daily trade and commerce between Canada and our biggest trading partner, the United States of America. Every day, over $300,000,000 worth of goods cross the border, on 10,000 trucks.
To summarize the economic ramifications: every business on either side of the border depending on a daily supply of goods through the bridge had almost come to a screeching halt.
Windsor Tecumseh MP Irek Kusmierczyk in an open letter that '"we condemn in the strongest possible terms the unlawful and reckless obstruction of the Ambassador Bridge that risks jobs and livelihoods in our community while blocking the supply of essential goods including food and medicine."
The 'Freedom Convoy' had begun two weeks ago as a demonstration against the latest vaccine mandate. The federal government had recently passed a mandate requiring all nonessential Canadian workers returning from the US to either be fully vaccinated- two doses- or undertake a 14-day quarantine.
In November, the Government of Canada announced that effective January 15, all cross-border truckers would be required to get the vaccine. The United States has the same requirements.
To be clear, this isn't strictly about vaccines for truckers per se. It's that for a lot of people, but this appears to be the last mandate that broke the camel's back. 90% of truck drivers already vaccinated, approximately 30,000 would be affected by the mandate.
We've had vaccine passports since the late summer, in the province of Ontario. Proof of vaccination or an approved exemption is required to visit campus.
Doug Ford declared a state of emergency for the province on Friday, February 11, because of the protests. On Twitter, he announced: "Today I am using my authority as Premier of Ontario to declare a state of emergency in our province… What we are seeing in Ottawa and our border crossings is no longer a protest. With a protest, you peacefully make your point and you go back home. The right to protest does not outweigh the right to get food, fuel, and goods across our border. That is why we are ensuring our police have the tools and powers to resolve the situation and restore order."
What do the protestors say?
Alexa Brown is the President of 1L Dual JD, and she says her classes were impacted, "as of right now, the blockade hasn't significantly impacted our travel since most students in the program use the tunnel and the convoy hasn't been there. It has been stressful regardless in the sense you never know if or when they may move to block the tunnel. Otherwise, it made it much more difficult to move around the area, you have taken more scenic routes to get to grocery stores or other things on Huron Church.''
Another UWindsor student says this has really started to impact him, 'the constant honking, yelling, busy streets and cops affect mental health and it's taking a huge toll. Not just the constant noise but not knowing what's going to happen on a walk to campus or trying to drive near campus and the surrounding area. It's scary.''
We asked two protestors- Virginia and Jonah, Windsor locals, why they were attending the protest and what the point of the protest was.
They made it clear that they were in solidarity with the Ottawa protests and confirmed that because they weren't getting anywhere in Ottawa, they came down here, to escalate. Now the government is paying attention to them.
Virginia, a local protester, says, "It's not fair or legal or right for the government to mandate vaccines the way that they are…'Truckers were exempt for 'quite a while and should continue to be exempt.:
Virginia is not a truck driver, she works in the service industry.
Virginia also says, "peoples jobs depend on being able to go to work, if you don't want to take a medication that doesn't have long-term data, why are your jobs more important than our jobs?"
An unidentified man interjected- he used to work as a health and fitness salesman, lost his job to covid lockdowns, and hasn't gotten it back because he refuses to take the COVID vaccine. When discussing the jobs being jeopardized by the Ambassador Bridge blockade he asked 'what about the jobs affected in the last two years by the lockdowns and coercion?'
He said there is a 'drastic difference' between the two years of lockdown, with people exhausted, the drug and alcohol dependencies, is 'far exceeding' a 'five to seven-day shutdown of an international crossing.'
February 11 was Jonah's third day at the Huron Church blockade. He joined the protest because 'something needs to be done. He wasn't at the Ottawa protest, but felt they needed 'help'. They went for the Ambassador Bridge, because ''it's close to home, and because they're standing up for everyone's rights. The right to walk into a restaurant without having to show off 'medical history, or for children to play hockey without needing a vaccine.''
Even though his children are required other vaccination to attend school, he says, 'those vaccines work, this vaccine doesn't work.'
He said that the majority of people catching Covid are vaccinated and that it was 'like the flu'. "Answer me this, how many cases of the flu have we had in two years? It's been non-existent. Wearing a mask 8 hours a day isn't healthy because you're breathing in bacteria."
He continued: "The government has to start listening to the people. And guess what? They're crying because we're stopping the auto industry. How about all the restaurants and small businesses affected by the shutdowns?"
'We have been vaccinated since childhood, but those vaccines have proven themselves. This vaccine came out of the blue, no testing. If you came up with a new vaccine tomorrow, the government would test it for 10 years. You can't tell me this is such a crisis that people have to have it."
'What would it take for you to trust the COVID vaccine the way you trust the other vaccines?' we asked.
'Test it, prove it's effective. Explain how my half-sister has a stroke two hours after her booster. Two hours, later, do the math, or as Trudeau says, 'trust the science'. "
That was one of many reasons he was out here, another being that the mandate is 'unconstitutional'. He later acknowledged he was against 'any mandate' that coerces you to do something you don't want to do.

Since the Tron (TRX) Mainnet launch last year, the Tron Foundation has opened the doors for developers to create on the network. Since then, its engineering team has been working tirelessly to guarantee that the developer experience is frictionless. TronGrid is one of the network's most valuable components and it has just been rebooted to TronGrid 2.0 and only a day after the Mainnet was upgraded to version 3.5.
TronGrid enables developers to build on the blockchain by providing operational full nodes across the globe and APIs into the Tron network. TronGrid saves developers the hustles of running a full node. The later involves owning complex and expensive hardware, having appropriate bandwidth and time to maintain and/or secure data. TronGrid provides an alternative and is free of charge and fully equipped with developer tools to make DApp creation easier and affordable.
Francesco Sullo, Tech Lead of Dev Tools at TRON, explained how it is similar and better than Infura on Ethereum.
I was working on Ethereum when Infura first came out. From the get-go, I knew that Infura was a necessary tool and a game changer. When I was designing TronGrid v2, I kept that vision in mind, striving to build a faster, more reliable service.
With version 2.0, the response time needed to query events has been reduced significantly to the tune of milliseconds. TronGrid 2.0 is also consistent and more available to developers across the globe. According to the Tron Foundation, the overall up-time is 99.99%.
Yue Fang, Product Manager at TRON, explained the importance of speed on TronGrid.
We have seen a lot of development efforts on TronGrid over the last few months. From a performance perspective, but more importantly, a documentation perspective. TronGrid has quickly become one of our preferred TRON blockchain interaction methods.
What are your thoughts on the TronGrid 2.0? Please let us know in the comment section below.

On February 7, 2014 I will be sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer (upon successful completion of PST, of course!) and I will end my service on February 7, 2016.
Currently, I'm afraid. There's a lot going on now; tasks to complete, languages to learn (aidez-moi!!!!), specialty items to order, bags to pack, affairs to get in order. It all seems like SO MUCH and the days keep on ticking away. I'm finding it rather tempting to slip into a panic mode. I am making a huge life-changing move — I'd be kind of worried about myself if I wasn't worried! But worrying is one of my largest flaws and something I am constantly trying to improve. So, we're kicking the panic to the side and focusing on the amazing adventure ahead.
That being said, I'm slacking hard. I'm going to buckle down and get my stuff together.
At this point, you should not count on having access to anything qualifying as "high speed" in Guinea, though technological changes are underway.
You will be arriving at the beginning of the dry season. It will be hot and generally dry, so be prepared to wear light clothing with the appropriate degree of coverage…Long skirts, dresses, or trousers and light, sleeved cotton shirts are appropriate for women.
Tomorrow it appears as if the government shutdown will be over. October 17th, 2013.
It's been easy for me to put things off. After all, I did have four years of excellent practice in procrastination (oh, college!). Pushing aside orders for solar chargers and hiking backpacks — "oh, I'll get that next week" — only felt like a natural reaction to such a huge, daunting challenge that lies in my wake. The shutdown of our government only assisted these matters. In a time when I should have been taking online safety courses, practicing French, acheiving final medical clearance, and eagerly checking my e-mail for updates from our CD, I was instead staring blankly at a government in crisis and wondering if I would even leave on time. I still am not sure how this shutdown affected my stage and what is to come in the next 6.5 weeks, but I am sure about one thing — time always marches on.
October 17th. You once sounded so far away and yet here we are, face-to-face. I'm working on getting things together. Ordering the necessary items, beginning to cross things off of my packing list, thinking about the loose ends I'll need to tie up — taxes, elections, bills, cleaning my dungeon of a bedroom, oh, and my disaster of a car. But there's one thing that I am not sure how to prepare for; the reality of leaving.
So, America, our time together is nearing it's end. I'm not sure where I will be two years from now, or who I will be. The "ALL OF IT" is almost too much to even contemplate. With 6.5 weeks left, I plan on celebrating the love in my life. I am lucky to have a family, friends, and a girlfriend who all love me and support me in my journey. They will miss me, as I will miss them, but their support is extremely important to me. I feel extremely grateful for the opportunities in life I have been given. I cannot even begin to imagine all that I will learn in my 27 months of service in Guinea. I do know that, no matter the hardships, it will be worth it and I will return to you all a better person more capable of making real, beneficial changes in the world. I hope you all will continue to support me in my journey — even when I call you, crying, about how much I miss real cheese. Even when I lament to you that I miss my mother and I feel like I'm not getting anything done. Even when I miss my lover and friends so much the sobs ache my body to sleep. But, especially when I tell you about the young boys I've befriended in my village and taught English. Especially when I tell you about the older women who have taken me in and taught me how to cook. Especially when I tell you about the new bee-keeping project I have initiated with my village, or the new community garden, or the 100 trees I planted last week.
This will be a difficult journey at times, no doubt, but one I have chosen and one I look forward to with immense joy and excitement. I hope you will join me alongside my journey and continue to support me through all the ups and downs. And, you know, a package or two would be nice!!!

Severed shark head stuffed with cigarette butts found on Australia fence
SYDNEY: A severed shark head, stuffed with cigarette butts and ocean debris, was found impaled on a fence at an Australian marine rescue organisation's office, with the gruesome discovery drawing criticism on social media.
Marine Rescue NSW volunteers at Shellharbour, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) south of Sydney, arrived for duty Sunday morning to find the head of the mako shark.
Regional operations manager Bruce Mitchell told AFP it was the "first time I´ve ever heard of it anywhere", adding that it appeared the shark was fairly fresh and likely to have been caught on Saturday.
"Whoever caught the shark brought it back to the (boat) ramp and cleaned it, and cut the head off," Mitchell said, adding that the whole creature would have weighed about 70 kilograms (154 pounds).
"Maybe someone (else) came there during the night, found it and thought they´ll have a bit of fun. That´s one possibility."
Mitchell said the volunteer organisation — which helps boaters during emergencies and other situations — had not received any threats and did not refer the incident to the police.
Marine Rescue posted photos of the head on Facebook and Twitter and said the incident was a "kick in the guts for our committed volunteers who give up their time to save lives on the water".
"Takes one messed up human to do something like that," one Twitter user wrote, while a Facebook commenter said: "Someone with a macabre sense of humour."
