<h2>Facebook crime in Sri Lanka</h2>
<h2>Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3) at Police Headquarters</h2>
<p>Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3) has ben established at Police Headquarters with the collaboration of Cirminal Investigation Department &amp; Information Technology Division to receive and investigate regarding criminal complaints in the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime.<br />
<a href="http://www.police.lk/index.php/component/content/article/45/402-internet-crime-complaint-centre">http://www.police.lk/index.php/component/content/article/45/402-internet-crime-complaint-centre</a></p>
<p>According to a Newspaper article published in Sunday Times 5 February 2012, (<a href="http://sundaytimes.lk/120205/News/nws_26.html">http://sundaytimes.lk/120205/News/nws_26.html</a>) the CID’s Cyber Crime Division receives following cases on internet crime relating to facebook social network.</p>
<ul>
<li>Cases of hacking into Facebook accounts.</li>
<li>Cases where, after jilting the lover, one party posts personal pictures and videos recorded secretly during their affair</li>
<li>Creation of false Facebook accounts under a person’s name and obscene pictures included in that page</li>
<li>Cases of chat-conversations on Facebook between the couple have been saved or recorded and published<br />
Instances of posting nude pictures</li>
<li>Blackmailing cases by demanding money or instances of threatening to blackmail unless sexual favours were granted, if the demands were not met</li>
</ul>
<p>In one of the cases a girl receiving higher education had responded to a ‘friend request’ on Facebook. After several months she had posed in a semi-nude position, which had been captured on video via a web-cam. A few months later the man had started demanding money if she wanted the pictures not to be made public.</p>
<p>The man was arrested following a complaint lodged by the girl. He said there were also complaints where fake Facebook accounts had been created under a person’s name and obscene pictures included in it.</p>

<h3>Take Precautions when using facebook</h3>
<p>An Police officer said that people using Facebook should take precautions when using the social network system. “Whenever a request is made by an unknown person to add you as a friend you check out carefully who the person is and the friends of that person already on Facebook.<br />
“You can also use some of the settings available on the system where any person has limited access to your account. After monitoring the person for some time you can decide whether the person should remain in your network,” he said.</p>
<p>He said people could contact the Cyber Crime Division in the event of any violation of their privacy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By <a href="http://studentlanka.com">Student Sri Lanka Education</a>.</p><p>Harvard University, one of the best funded research University in world, found it difficult to subscribe to academic Journals, as online research information providers have increased their subscription fees by more than 100% in recent years, said Heather Joshph, Executive Director of  Scholarly and Academic Resource Coalition (SPARC), USA, at a Seminar organized by National Science Foundation, Sri Lanka today (30 April 2013) in Colombo. Because of inaccessibility of required journals <strong>Scientists all over the world are now conducting research on what they have access to (reading only abstracts of papers or skipping some papers), rather than what they might need to know.</strong> Hence teachers will teach students on what they have accessed to rather than what students might ought to know.<br />

The workshop inauguration was held at Cinnamon Grand Hotel with the participation of Hon Tissa Witharana, Senior Minister of Science and Technology and Prof Sirimalee Fernando, Chairperson, NSF. The workshop was held at National Science Foundation Auditorium, Colombo 7. Prof Ajith de Alwis and Prof Gihan Dias were also participated.</p>
<div id="attachment_3174" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://studentlanka.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/open-access-workshop-Minister.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3174" alt="Minister Prof Tissa Vitharana Speaks. In the Photo Prof Ajith de Alwis and Ms. Heather Joshph " src="http://studentlanka.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/open-access-workshop-Minister.jpg" width="500" height="264" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Minister Prof Tissa Vitharana Speaks</p></div>
<p>Open Access movement begun in Budapest in 2002 which facilitate a system of free availability of research material so that any user can read, download, cope, distribute, print, search or link the full text of research articles. Heather said that “In short open access means access and reuse of materials.”</p>
<p>Sri Lankan Universities and research institutes have started publishing their data online in two forms</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Open Access Journals</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eg. <a href="http://www.sljol.info/index.php/CMJ">Sri Lanka Medical Journal</a>, <a href="http://journals.sjp.ac.lk/index.php/jtfe">Journal of Tropical Forestry and Environment</a>, <a href="http://www.nsf.ac.lk/index.php/researchers-a-academics/nsf-science-magazine">NSF Journals</a></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Open Access digital repositories</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">These repositories can be either insitittional ( eg. <a href="http://dl.sjp.ac.lk/dspace/">University of Sri Jayewardnepura Digital Library</a>) or central (eg. <a href="http://dl.nsf.ac.lk/">NSF repository/ Digital Library</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Though open access publishing in only just over a decade old, but already we can see exponential growth in digital publishing, she explained.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Policy and copyright issues should be important in digital publishing. Harvard University has taken a policy decision to distribute work by Harvard academics online as far as possible and request scientists to deposit a copy of a published article in the Institute repository as open access material.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also US university students are required to hand over digital version of their research thesis, and the library of the University will publish them online on the web.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Heather said that in next 4-5 years more than half of the published data will be available as open access material on the web.</p>

<p>Presently, the GCE (A/L) students learn in Physical Science, Biological Science, Commerce and Arts subject streams.<br />

The proposed stream will include technical subjects such as information technology, electronics, civil and mechanical engineering, agriculture, bio-resources and food sciences to give the students a practical knowledge in preparation for employment after school education.</p>
<p>This was announced at a press conference by Education Minister Bandula Gunawardena.  He said that the new stream would be named ‘Technology’ stream, mostly based on skills of students.  &#8220;We will introduce the new stream in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Skills Development,&#8221; Gunawardena said adding that the preliminary preparations for the new stream had already been completed. </p>
<p>&#8220;At the initial stage, the new stream will be available at 50 schools and gradually expanded to cover every secretariat division. The Education Ministry is drafting the text books and teacher guidance for the new stream with the assistance of educationalists, intellectuals and several other resource personnel,&#8221; Education Minister Banduala Gunawardena said.</p>
<p>Former Vice Chancellor of the University of Moratuwa, Vidya Jothi Professor Dayantha Wijeyesekera was also present at the briefing, who explained the benefits of the new stream of study. &#8220;The subjects include electronics, civil and mechanical engineering, agriculture as well as food sciences and information technology,&#8221; he said, adding that enrollment in universities would not be necessary, if this stream of study was followed at A Levels, as students would acquire a very practical knowledge, which would enable them to find employment easily.</p>
<p>However still (2013 April) when we checked the website of National Institute of Education, they have not published relevant syllabuses. Also these subjects are still not recognized by Sri Lankan University system for selection of students to University courses. </p>
<h2>Hard and Soft Technology Options</h2>
<p>Also way of selection of subjects is also not clear, but based on the available information you can select subjects from following clusters:<br />
A) Hard Technology subjects – <strong>Mechanical Technology, Electrical Technology, Civil Technology </strong><br />
B) Soft Technology subjects – <strong>Food Technology, Agro Technology, Bio-Resource Technoloyg</strong><br />
C) Other available subjects &#8211; These subjects are to be selected along with or as replacement to currently available subjects:<br />
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information Technology, Economics, Accountancy, Geography</p>

<h3>National Anthem English Translation:</h3>
<p>Mother Lanka we salute Thee! Plenteous in prosperity, Thou, Beauteous in grace and love, Laden with grain and luscious fruit, And fragrant flowers of radiant hue, Giver of life and all good things, Our land of joy and victory, Receive our gratefull praise sublime, Lanka! we worship Thee. Thou gavest us Knowledge and Truth, Thou art our strength and inward faith, Our light divine and sentient being, Breath of life and liberation. Grant us, bondage free, inspiration. Inspire us for ever. In wisdom and strength renewed, Ill-will, hatred, strife all ended, In love enfolded, a mighty nation Marching onward, all as one, Lead us, Mother, to fullest freedom.</p>

<h3>National Anthem &#8211; Description</h3>
<p>Sri Lanka Matha is the national anthem of Sri Lanka. The words and music were written by Ananda Samarakoon in 1940 in the Sinhala language, and was officially adopted as the national anthem on November 22, 1951 by a committee headed by Sir Edwin Wijeyeratne.</p>
<p>The first line of the anthem originally read: &#8220;Namo namo matha, apa Sri Lanka&#8221;. There was some controversy over these words in the 1950s, and in early 1962 they were changed to their present form.</p>
<p>The Tamil translation of the national anthem of Sri Lanka is written by famous Tamil poet Pandithar M.Nallathamby in 1950<br />
