FUTURE OF OUREDUCATION

Due to the District meritsystemmost of the studentsthosewho are qualiedenough also,do not get a

chance to enter ina government university.Because of this situationstudents are facing lot ofdiculties in continuingtheir higher studies.

Finish every day

and be donewith it. You

have done what

you could;

some blunders

and absurdities

no doubt crept in;

forget them as

soon as you can.

Tomorrow is anew day; you shall

begin it serenely

and with too

high a spirit to be

encumbered with

your old nonsense.

- Ralph Waldo

Emerson

Life is like

riding a bicycle.To keep your

balance, you must

keep moving.

- Albert Einstein

Education in Sri Lanka has a long

history which dates back two

millennia and the Constitution of Sri

Lanka provide for education as a

fundamental right. The countrys

population has a literacy rate of 92%,

higher than that expected for a third

world country; it has the highest

literacy rate in South Asia and overall,

one of the highest literacy rates in Asia

This sector is another controversial

government sector which has the

tendency of being blamed by the

public regardless of the government

who is in the power. Education is one

of the basic rights of every child.Sri

Lanka is a country where all thechildren are eligible for free education

from the grade one up to higher

education in a government university

and the total cost is beard by the

government.

Basically there are three competitive

exams that students have to face,

grade ve scholarship exams,

G.C.E.Ordinary Level exam and G.C.E.

Advanced Level exam. Out of these

three exams G.C.E. Advanced Level

exam is the most competitive exam

which decides the university entrance.

From the total number of students

those who participate in G.C.E.

Advanced level exam only 10% is

eligible for the university admission.

This is mainly due to less number of

government universities in Sri Lanka.

Due to the District merit system most

of the students those who are

qualied enough also, do not get a

chance to enter in a government

university. Because of this situation

students are facing lot of diculties in

continuing their higher studies.

Out of them some students go abroad

and continue higher studies in foreign

universities. But in Sri Lankan context

most of the parents are not capable of

spending large amount of money for

foreign education while it includes

high accommodation cost and other

expenses. Out of the students those

who are going abroad, Most of themhave less tendency of coming back to

Sri Lanka while the job market is very

competitive and the salaries are low

comparing to the other countries.

Therefore all the money that -

-government is spending on these

students for their primary education

is a total loss while the government is

not getting anything in return.

In the case of local graduates, there

are some constraints as well. After

nishing their higher education they

are suering from unemployment.

Nowadays most of the graduates are

either unemployed or underem-

ployed. This is due to dierent

reasons, one is most of the students

qualications are not going align with

the current job requirements, lack of

English knowledge, poor computer

literacy, poor interpersonal skills and

the outdated syllabuses in govern-

ment universities, therefore these

students are not capable enough to

face the new challenges in current job

market.

Identifying these issues as a business

venture private sector has entered in

to the education sector introducing

several types of Higher Education

Institutes to provide higher

educational qualications like

Diplomas. Degrees and Masters

comparatively at a low cost than

studying in a foreign country.

Government has come up with the

idea of establishing private universi-

ties to overcome above problems and

this has already created a strong

protest from public, parents,

undergraduate students in govern-

ment universities and many more

pressure groups. The main argument

that they are bringing is this might

have a bad impact on local graduates

and it will further reduce their job

opportunities.

But on the other hand this will help to

reduce the unnecessary expenditure

of parents to provide their students a

foreign education. If the Government

can have proper agreements where

these universities agree to provide

substantial amount of their prot -

-share, then the government can

recover the cost that they have spent

on these students primary

education, instead of bearing the

total loss, of them being to a foreign

country for their higher studies .This

will be favourable for the economy,

because of this situation the money

wont be totally transferred to a

foreign country.

Also government should have a

proper way to allocate these

graduates and local graduates giving

them an equal opportunity to enter

to the job market .They can

introduce a proper system such as

they are appointing foreign Medical

Graduates and local medical

graduates. They can introduce the

same system for local graduates and

foreign graduates if they are continu-

ing to establish these private

universities. There should be a

system where the rst priority should

be given to the local graduates; if

foreign graduates are willing to

compete for the same job opportuni-

ties. Also government can introduce

a proper system to standardize both

the graduates. System like this will be

favourable for all the parties and

stake holders. What people should

understand is even if they dont

introduce private universities, thecompetition is already there which

has created by other private higher

educational institutes; but in that

case only private sector is enjoying

the benets.

All these issues should be considered

before implementing these kinds of

new strategies in any sector, but if

government can manage all these

things properly and introduce their

strategies in appropriate and

suitable way for our country, we can

have a brighter future in our

education system while beneting

all the parties.

You can be one of the90% people whoachieve their dreamsand become successin their personal,professional andsocial lives.

Achieving your goalsby using Future Mapping

We all have goals in our personal,

professional and social lives. When

we see the world, some people are

more successful than others. Whats the dierent between achievers

nd others? What are the

echniques those successful people

re using?

One of the techniques you can use

o achieve your goals is Future

Mapping which will describe by 10

teps in below. In the future

mapping technique you have to

write your goals in present tense as

f you have already achieved it.

Step 01: Thinking Big

You have to think big and you have

o develop an ambitious plan on

what you want to achieve with a

dead line.

Step 02: Writing it down

You have to write down your goal in

present tense and better if you can

ollect picture about what you

want.

Eg: If you want to build a house, you

an write it, draw it and collect

pictures of your dream house; even

you can collect photos of who will

tay at home with you.

Step 03: Involving others

You can share your dream with your

family members, partner or friends

and then it will be more real andenable to achieve with their support.

Step 04: Visualizing

You can visualize about your feelings

after achieving your goal.

Eg: If you are dreaming about building

your own house, you can visualize a

perfect house and you can sense how

the house would looks once it

decorated.

Step 05: Planning

You can prepare daily, weekly,

monthly and annual plan which broke

your goal in to small achievable steps.

Then you can focus step by steps.

Step 06: Overcoming Barriers

When we plan something, sometimes

with external we will not be able to

achieve those targets, and then we

have to plan that thing again and

again and overcome barriers.

Step 07: ReviewingYou have to review your goals and

adjust set dates and set standards.

Daily, weekly you have to review your

progress on your dream. Therefore

always monitor your time scales.

Step 08: Thinking Positively

You have to develop positive thinking

by repeating armations. You can get

your family members and friend help

too to be positive when your are

feeling bad.

Step 09: Focusing

You have to make sure that your other

projects and works are not taking you

away from your main priority.

Step 10: Succeeding

All ways you have to think that there is

a way to succeed and you have to

already plan how you are going to

celebrate it.

I believe if you use above ten steps to

achieve your goals, denitely you can

be one of the 90% people who achieve

their dreams and become success in

their personal, professional and social

lives.

Imagine life is agame in which you

are juggling ve

balls. The balls are

called work, family,

health, friends, and

integrity. And you're

keeping all of them

in the air. But one

day you nally

come to understand

that work is a rubber

it will bounce back.

The other four

What is an iButton?

06

Dont you think

its better to beextreamly happy

for a short while,

even if you lose

it, then to be

just okay for

your whole

life.

- Audrey NieneggerThe Time Travelers

Wife

We can never judgethe lives of others,

because each

person knows only

their own pain and

renunciation. It's

one thing to feel

that you are on the

right path, but it's

another to think

that yours is the

only path.

- Paulo Coelho

Introduction:-

The iButton is a computer chip

enclosed in a 16mm thick stainless

steel can. Because of this unique and

durable container, up-to-date informa-

tion can travel with a person or object

anywhere they go. The steel iButton

can be mounted virtually anywhere

because it is rugged enough to

withstand harsh environments,

indoors or outdoors. It is small and

portable enough to attach to a key fob,

ring, watch, or other personal items,

and be used daily for applications such

as access control to buildings and

computers, asset management, and

various data logging tasks.

The Can and Grommet:-

An iButton uses its stainless steel 'can'

as an electronic communications

interface. Each can has a data contact,

called the 'lid', and a ground contact,

called the 'base'. Each of these contacts

is connected to the silicon chip inside.

The lid is the top of the can; the base

forms the sides and the bottom of the

can and includes a ange to simplify

attaching the button to just about

anything. The two contacts are

separated by a polypropylene

grommet.

The 1-Wire Interface:-

By simply touching the iButton to the

two contacts described above, you cancommunicate with it through our

1-Wire protocol. The 1-Wire interface

has two communication speeds:

standard mode at 16kbps, and

overdrive mode at 142kbps. For more

information, please see our applica-

tion note, Reading and Writing

iButtons via Serial Interfaces.

The Address:-

Each iButton has a unique and unalter-

able address laser etched onto its chip

inside the can. The address (e.g.

2700000095C33108) can be used as a

key or identier for each iButton.

Reference: Maxim Integrated Products -

http://www.maxim-ic.com

iButton Versions:-

The iButton product line now

comprises over 20 dierent products

with dierent functionality added to

the basic button. iButtons come in the

following varieties:

Address Only Memory

Real-Time Clock Secure

Data Loggers

How Do I Get Information Into andOut of the iButton?

Information is transferred between

your iButton and a PC with a momen-

tary contact at up to 142kbps. You

simply touch your iButton to a Blue

Dot receptor or other iButton probe,

which is connected to a PC. The Blue

Dot receptor is cabled to a 1-Wire

adapter that is attached to a spare PC

port. 1-Wire adapters exist for USB,

serial, and parallel ports. The Blue Dot

receptor and 1-Wire Adapter are

inexpensive.

The iButton is also the ultimate

information carrier for AutoID and

many portable applications. All the

latest handheld computers and PDAs

can communicate with iButtons.

How durable is the iButton?

The silicon chip within the iButton is

protected by the ultimate durable

material: stainless steel. You can drop

an iButton, step on it, or scratch it. TheiButton is wear-tested for 10-year

durability.

What Can I do with the iButton?

The iButton is ideal for any app lication

where information needs to travel with

a person or object. Axed to a key fob,

watch, or ring, an iButton can grant its

owner access to a building, a PC, a

piece of equipment, or a vehicle.

Attached to a work tote, it can measure

processes to improve eciency, such

as manufacturing, delivery, and

maintenance. Some iButton versions

can be used to store electronic cash for

small transactions, such as transit

systems, parking meters, and vending-

-machines. The iButton can also be

used as an electronic asset tag to store

information needed to keep track of

valuable capital equipment.

What Do I Need to Put Together an

iButton Application?

There are four components fundamen-

tal to any iButton application:

iButtons A host system: this can be a PC, a

laptop, a handheld computer, or an

embedded system.

A reader/writer device to get informa-

tion into and out of the button. This

can be the Blue Dot mentioned above,

a pen-style probe, or a handheld

device.

A layer of software to interface

iButtons to computers and produce

the desired information in the desired

format. Several software development

kits (SDKs) are downloadable from the

manufacturer at no charge. We also

offer 1-Wire Drivers for Microsoft

platforms, along with the OneWire-

Viewer, a demo application that can

read/write/exercise any iButton.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a

Simple iButton Application?

Under $50 (US$), plus your program-

ming time.

iButtons cost between $2 to $95 in

quantities of one; larger quantities arediscounted.

The Blue Dot receptor and 1-Wire

Adapter, which together make a

simple reader/writer device, cost

between $38 and $43.

The OneWireViewer demo software

and SDKs are free from the web site.

What are the Advantages of

iButtons Over Other Technologies?

When developing an iButton solution

for an application, you can considermany complementary technologies.

Bar codes, RFID tags, magnetic stripe,

prox, and smart cards are some of the

possibilities. Unlike bar codes and

magnetic stripe cards, most of the

iButtons can be read AND be written

to. In addition, the communication

rate and product breadth of iButtons

goes well beyond the simple memory

products typically available with RFID.

As for durability, the thin plastic of

smart cards is no match for the

strength of the stainless-steel-clad

iButton.

Shot in a Cue. Deepest Desire...

Role of Educationin Life

illiard is a type of shot in cue sport.-Ball billiards, especially, is one ofhose games that can be played after

little explanation. You can nd

illiards Tables in Hotels, Clubs,

Games Rooms, Pool Parlors and even

online Billiards games to play on the

nternet.

-Ball Billiards Game is played with 16

balls: one cue ball (The white ball),

even solid-colored ball, seven

triped balls and one Black Ball. The

ame of the 8-Ball Billiards game

omes from the fact that the Black

all is the important one, and its

umber is 8 - making it the 8-Ball.

n order to choose the breaker of the

-Ball Billiards Game, you and your

opponent both hit a ball as hard as

ou can to the end of the table.

Whoever Ball does go more further

tarts the billiards game. The rst

hot called the break- all balls are

organized in a triangle and your

mission is to shoot the cue ball to the

riangle and spread the balls on the

able. Then you should pick an object

ball (Solids or Stripes) and shoot

hem to the pockets. Once you haventered an object ball you must hit

only balls from this group (solid or

tripe), only after you nished all the

object balls you can go on the 8-Ball

Black Ball).

he player who pocketed the 8-Ball

wins the game. But the Billiards

Game is not that simple, there are

ome rules that make game harder,

or instance, if you pocket the Black

all and the cue ball at the same time,

ou lose the game. If you pocket the

lack Ball and you still have object

balls on the table, you lose. So be in

uned, if it is game that "Shot in a

Cue" then obviously it would be a

Win in a Cue".

-as evil and both are ingrained in his

nature. Only awless education can

pave the way for perfection and

righteousness and confront the

negative moral inuence exerted on

the part of industrialization and

materialistic foundations.

Education can mean any of the

following:

1. A process of teaching, trainingand learning, especially in schools or

colleges, to improve knowledge and

develop skills.

2. A particular kind of teaching or

training.

3. The institutions or people

involved in teaching and training.

4. The subject of study that deals

with how to teach.

5. An interesting experience that

teaches you something.

I nd that the fth one is a very

suitable statement as it proves that

education is not just something you

learn in a classroom or through

books but by experience too. Not

only has this every single religion in

the world talked about education

and educating children. Parents for

decades have misunderstood

education to be a classroom basedteaching or lecture by using books,

lecture notes, etc and at the end of

which their son daughter will get a

certicate stating they have been

qualied in a particular subject area,

etc. This should be changed and

parents should understand that just

knowledge from books cannot

educate their children and help them

be successful in life; other types of

education should also be looked into

for them to be successful.

Education is conceived to be able to

activate the potential abilities of

individuals. In fact, these potential

abilities and characteristics form the

underlying principles of all

educational systems. Education, if

conducted properly, can raise

individuals to higher values and

ethics. In contrast, the learner can be

devoid of values under corrupt

training. It is evident that humans are

innately predisposed to good as well-

As the sun rises in the East

So the breaking dawn of my love

begins

As the sun sets in the West

I am overwhelmed with a burning

desireA desire locked down deep inside

One that cannot be concealed

anymore.

I long for one sweet kiss to quench

my thirst

I long for one tender touch to last a

lifetime.

At the end of it all you are my

deepest desire!

I love you not today nor tomorrow,

but forever!

What?Computer Ethics!

In recent times everybodyslife is being touched bycomputers at sometimeor the other.

Auston Institute is on the brink of

celebrating its second anniver-

sary. While wishing all the best

for the Institute, I grab this

opportunity as a faculty member

to express a rather important

concern related to moral valuesof computing practices in our

society.

Several decades ago Prof. Norbert

Wiener, a renowned mathematician

from MIT presented a solid founda-

tion for the eld of study now known

as computer ethics. Nevertheless, his

work was completely overlooked for

another few decades. However, since

the mid 1970s other computer

scientists and philosophers have

been attempting to redene the

focus.

Prof. Maner of Bowling Green State

University suggests that this eld of

study is one that examines the

ethical problems aggravated,

transformed or created by computer

technology (1980).

Prof. Deborah Johnson of University

of Virginia says that computer ethics

studies the way in which computerspose new versions of standard moral

problems and moral dilemmas and

worsen the old problems, forcing us

to apply ordinary moral norms in

unexplored realms (1985).

Prof. James Moor of Dartmouth

College says that it is independent of

any specic philosophers theory;

and it is compatible with a wide

variety of approaches to ethical

problem-solving. Moreover he saysthat it is a eld concerned with

policy vacuums and conceptual

muddles regarding the social and

ethical use of information technol-

ogy (1985).

08

Prof. Ward Bynum of Southern

Connecticut State University says that

computer ethics identies and

analyzes the impacts of information

technology on such social and human

values as health, wealth, work,

opportunity, freedom, democracy,

knowledge, privacy, security,

self-fulllment, etc (1989).

Prof. Donald Gotterbarn of East

Tennessee State University says that

computer ethics should be viewed as a

branch of professional ethics,

concerned primarily with standards of

good practice and codes of conduct

for computing professionals (1990).

Regardless of the assortment of

denitions, the dierent ways of

thinking certainly gives more value

and importance to the realm. Just

consider a service oriented company

that has recently acquired a new ERP

solution and selling customer prolesto direct marketing companies.

Provided that the ERP solution

facilitate such B2B channels, what

opinion would you have about the

developers and their client? Can you

believe that the developers are aware

of computer ethics? Providing a

broader understanding to such

problems is the primary objective of IT

ethics.

In recent times everybodys life is

being touched by computers at

sometime or the other. Thus, computer

ethics as a eld of study becomes

more challenging and essential. As fast

sophisticated hardware is been

introduced at a rate, the requirements

for more complex and large software

systems grow. Hence, the require-

ments for computer ethics are height-

ened. With the rapid growth of

broadband infrastructure, the ever

increasing numbers of internet users

and, enhanced mobile technologies,etc. the requirements for computer

ethics are even more believable. With

the increasing usage of the web, email

and numerous other internet related

communication technologies we -

-are in the prospect of a global

village. The age groups, gender and

ethnicity of the users of the above

technologies vary greatly. Therefore,

pretty much everybody is able to

envisage the need for computer

ethics. It is our responsibility to

educate the society or make the

society aware of the value ofadherence to the essence of

computer ethics. In addition to being

a good citizen and acting within the

law, we must train the responsible

individuals or professionals to look at

IT from an ethical point of view.

Furthermore, we must strive to bring

in the highest standard of computer

ethics to the society. The best way to

achieve this would be to incorporate

an introductory computer ethics

course to all academic programs of

Universities and, not limiting the

subject to IT related academic

programs. It is also practical to

provide a glimpse of the area to

school children as well.

Computer ethics is a vast eld of

ethical research and application.

Codes of ethics published by the

ACM, IEEE, BCS, ACM, etc. are

available on the web. IT practitioners

and the society in general would

benet by adapting them. However,

one would adapt such only if he or

she value ethics. We need more

teachers who are willing to teach

computer ethics and, IT

students/professionals who are

willing to learn the subject.

To maintain a good friendship

We don't want to see each otherevery day

We have shared our feelings,

sorrows, happiness & everything...

And hope to continue it till lifeends..............

N my side I may have done somewrong things to you....

But you understood it & correct me

always as usual......

thanks a lot.........I have to thank a lot to god to giving

that kind of friends in my life to

strengthen me always............

You are the friend that makes me

change all the time...........

You people have much moreknowledge about life than me

I admire it i just want to have a best

result of it.........It helps us to stand alone in this

world with our dignity, personality

To do so i want your help always as

usual.

Be a friend of me forever
