If you would like to 'sort of' rename your Joomla administrator directory without having to modify any Joomla code, you can achieve it the following way. Its extremely simple...

   1. Create a new directory in your root directory (eg. "myadmin")
   2. Create an index.php file in your "myadmin" directory..

      ## myadmin/index.php

   3. Add this to the beginning of index.php in real administrator folder

     

      #administrator/index.php (modify , **do not replace**)

To enter your Joomla administration page, you point your browser to "http://yoursite.com/myadmin/" The php code will set a cookie that expires at the end of the session and redirect you to your real administration page. No one will be able to load anything from the administrator directory without having gone through the "myadmin" directory first.

Rowing Technique..

Watch the video and think about angles of your torso, leg, and hip when you're rowing. Do you hold yourself in the same way while you're rowing? At the catch? During the drive? During the recovery? Rowing, much like the deadlift, is all about leverage. Leverage occurs when proper body angles are employed (among other things). It's physics and geometry.

Pay attention to body mechanics on the erg and get the most out of each stroke. You'll be helping yourself the next time a "rowing + x" metcon comes up.

Exams are a time when stress levels are higher than usual. Stress can be positive, helping you to stay motivated and focused. However, too much stress can be unhelpful - it can make you feel overwhelmed, confused, exhausted and edgy. It's important to try and keep things in perspective and find ways of reducing stress if things seem to be getting on top of you.

Effective study habits - Many people feel overwhelmed at exam time - having to revise a lot of information in a short space of time and not understanding course material can be a big stress. Check out Exam time: Hints for effective studying for more practical advice on effective study techniques.

Keep your routine outside studying + take regular breaks - It's important to have regular study breaks and time for relaxation and exercise. Going for a walk, run, or to the gym is not a waste of time, it is a great way to clear your head and help you study better.

Watching your favourite TV show or going to the movies are also good ways to take a break from studying. Check out the fact sheet on Relaxation for more ideas to help you relax.

Limit drugs - Caffeine (Eg - coffee, no-doz, V) and other drugs (Eg - speed, coke) give you a short lift before making you crash and burn. They can make you feel sick, and unable to sleep or concentrate properly. You actually study better with regular breaks, getting lots of sleep, and from exercising (really!).

Have a number of options for the future - Getting the marks to get into your first preference is great, but it's not the end of the world if you don't - there are other options to get into your course. These include deferring and getting some practical experience in your field, doing further study, writing to the university, retaking some subjects in some cases, or transferring in after a year or two. And, if you do accept another offer, you may find that you like it even more.

Manage expectations - External pressures around exams can be huge. It can be hard to deal with, especially with family and people you respect, but you need to remember that it's your life and your exam, with you in control.  Things that might help you manage expectations:

Look after your body - It's easy to let exams get on top of you and to forget to look after yourself. If possible try to get a good nights sleep. It's a good time to make an effort to eat healthy, including eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Ask for + accept support - If you're feeling overwhelmed, you might find it helpful to talk to a teacher or counsellor.  It's also important to ask for, and accept, support from your family if you can. This support might be practical, like picking you up from the library, or emotional, including advice or help.

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.






What's a content management system (CMS)?
A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.



What are some real world examples of what Joomla! can do?
Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:

• Corporate Web sites or portals
• Corporate intranets and extranets
• Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
• E-commerce and online reservations
• Government applications
• Small business Web sites
• Non-profit and organizational Web sites
• Community-based portals
• School and church Web sites
• Personal or family homepages

Who uses Joomla?
Here are just a few examples of Web sites that use Joomla:

• MTV Networks Quizilla (Social networking) - http://www.quizilla.com
• IHOP (Restaurant chain) - http://www.ihop.com
• Harvard University (Educational) - http://gsas.harvard.edu
• Citibank (Financial institution intranet) - Not publicly accessible
• The Green Maven (Eco-resources) - http://www.greenmaven.com
• Outdoor Photographer (Magazine) - http://www.outdoorphotographer.com
• PlayShakespeare.com (Cultural) - http://www.playshakespeare.com

More examples of companies using Joomla can be found in the Joomla Community Site Showcase.


I need to build a site for a client. How will Joomla! help me?
Joomla is designed to be easy to install and set up even if you're not an advanced user. Many Web hosting services offer a single-click install, getting your new site up and running in just a few minutes.
Since Joomla is so easy to use, as a Web designer or developer, you can quickly build sites for your clients. Then, with a minimal amount of instruction, you can empower your clients to easily manage their own sites themselves.
If your clients need specialized functionality, Joomla is highly extensible and thousands of extensions (most for free under the GPL license) are available in the Joomla Extensions Directory.


How can I be sure there will be Joomla! support in the future?
Joomla is the most popular open source CMS currently available as evidenced by a vibrant and growing community of friendly users and talented developers. Joomla's roots go back to 2000 and, with over 200,000 community users and contributors, the future looks bright for the award-winning Joomla Project.




I'm a developer. What are some advanced ways I can use Joomla?
Many companies and organizations have requirements that go beyond what is available in the basic Joomla package. In those cases, Joomla's powerful application framework makes it easy for developers to create sophisticated add-ons that extend the power of Joomla into virtually unlimited directions.
The core Joomla framework enables developers to quickly and easily build:

• Inventory control systems
• Data reporting tools
• Application bridges
• Custom product catalogs
• Integrated e-commerce systems
• Complex business directories
• Reservation systems
• Communication tools

Since Joomla is based on PHP and MySQL, you're building powerful applications on an open platform anyone can use, share, and support. To find out more information on leveraging the Joomla framework, visit the Joomla Developer Network.
Joomla! seems the right solution for me. How do I get started?
Joomla is free, open, and available to anyone under the GPL license. Read Getting Started with Joomla to find out the basics then try out our online demo and you'll quickly discover how simple Joomla is. If you're ready to install Joomla, download the latest version here you'll be up and running in no time.

The term Base64 refers to a specific MIME content transfer encoding. It is also used as a generic term for any similar encoding scheme that encodes binary data by treating it numerically and translating it into a base 64 representation. The particular choice of base is due to the history of character set encoding: one can choose a set of 64 characters that is both part of the subset common to most encodings, and also printable. This combination leaves the data unlikely to be modified in transit through systems, such as email, which were traditionally not 8-bit clean.

 

Base64 encoding makes it possible to send all kinds of data via Internet email.

If the internet is the information highway, then the path for email is a narrow ravine. Only very small carts can pass.

The transport system of email is designed for plain ASCII text only. Trying to send text in other languages or arbitrary files is like getting a truck through the ravine.

Base64 encoding takes three bytes, each consisting of eight bits, and represents them as four printable characters in the ASCII standard. It does that in essentially two steps.

The first step is to convert three bytes to four numbers of six bits. Each character in the ASCII standard consists of seven bits. Base64 only uses 6 bits (corresponding to 2^6 = 64 characters) to ensure encoded data is printable and humanly readable. None of the special characters available in ASCII are used. The 64 characters (hence the name Base64) are 10 digits, 26 lowercase characters, 26 uppercase characters as well as '+' and '/'.

If, for example, the three bytes are 155, 162 and 233, the corresponding (and frightening) bit stream is 100110111010001011101001, which in turn corresponds to the 6-bit values 38, 58, 11 and 41.

These numbers are converted to ASCII characters in the second step using the Base64 encoding table. The 6-bit values of our example translate to the ASCII sequence "m6Lp".

This two-step process is applied to the whole sequence of bytes that are encoded. To ensure the encoded data can be properly printed and does not exceed any mail server's line length limit, newline characters are inserted to keep line lengths below 76 characters. The newline characters are encoded like all other data.

At the end of the encoding process we might run into a problem. If the size of the original data in bytes is a multiple of three, everything works fine. If it is not, we might end up with one or two 8-bit bytes. For proper encoding, we need exactly three bytes, however.

The solution is to append enough bytes with a value of '0' to create a 3-byte group. Two such values are appended if we have one extra byte of data, one is appended for two extra bytes.

Using PHP for this

  string base64_encode  ( string $data  )
Encodes the given data with base64.This encoding is designed to make binary data survive transport through transport layers that are not 8-bit clean, such as mail bodies.

Base64-encoded data takes about 33% more space than the original data.

string base64_decode  ( string $data  [,bool $strict = false  ] )
Decodes a base64 encoded data .

A Stock Exchange provides a liquid, open market for buying and selling of shares, debentures etc. of publicly owned companies. Companies, which use the mechanism of the stock market to raise debt or equity capital, commonly enter the stock market through issuing shares or debentures to the public. Sri Lanka's only stock exchange, the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) currently has 237 listed companies, 15 member firms, 5 trading members and one specialized debt trading member.

 

When a company raises funds to support its growth by selling ownership interests (shares in itself) to the investing public, those shares need to be "listed" and traded on that country's stock exchange/s. These companies need to be in compliance with an Exchange's set of listing rules such as previous profit records, issued/paid up capital etc. in order to be admitted to the official list.

The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) is the organization responsible for the operation of the stock market in Sri Lanka. The CSE is a company limited by guarantee established under the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982 and licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) to operate as a stock exchange in Sri Lanka.

 

How do you purchase shares

There are two ways to purchase shares

Central Depositors Systems (Pvt) Ltd is wholly owned Subsidiary of the CSE, which has taken over the functions of Clearing, Settlement and Registration from the Stock Exchange.

How do I open a CDS account?

To open a Securities Account in the CDS you should complete an Account Opening Form, which can be obtained from your stockbroker or custodian bank. There are no fees charged for opening a CDS account. Your participant organisation may call for documents establishing your identity. It is possible to open and operate an account on the same day.

Every account will be identified through a unique account number and all correspondence and dealings, including trading and depository activities, will refer to this account number.

Your CDS accounts should be operated through your Participant organisation, and any changes to your account will have to be forwarded through theParticipant. You cannot issue instructions directly to the CDS.

• Visit a participant with the certificates you want to immobilize.
• Be sure you have already opened an account or are ready to do so.
• You will be issued with and assisted to complete a Security Deposit Form.
• Sign your form with the signature used when buying the shares.
• Return the form to the participant together with the certificates you have included on the form to be deposited.
• You will be given a receipt as evidence of your deposit.
• The participant will forward the form and the certificate to CDS
• CDS will forward the certificates and forms to the company’s shares registrar for verification.
• When the registrar confirms the certificates as genuine, the shares will be deposited in your account.
• Once the shares are in your account you can trade in them.

• You get the receipt of the deposit form
• You get a monthly statement if you have a deposit or a trade that month.
• You get a quarterly statement if you have not had a trade for three months.
• The statements are issued directly to your address as indicated on the account opening form.
