Privacy is a right that we take for granted. We hope to keep our business to ourselves, and we have all kinds of safeguards and protective measures to protect it that way. We make tall walls and fences and live behind locked door. We use safes, banks, safety deposit boxes and other various methods to keep our personal items and information private. But are these conventional physical methods adequate anymore? Are they even helpful? The information age has arrived and with it our definitions of privacy may need to be rewritten.
In any facet of modern society, the most valuable assets you can have to be information. No matter what kind of activities you’re involved in, you can be certain that the right kind of information exchange matter very much. Today, it is not just enough to be your self, you have to be yourself and make a name for your self, if you are to be succeeded. To do this, you have to share certain thing about yourself. For the average person, this phenomenon is most obvious in the social arena, especially in the social networking arena. Facebook, Twitter, hi5 and other social oriented sites are the way to interact with the people. Let’s face it, if you are a tech savvy urban dweller; the first thing you do, is probably search him or her on facebook. Sites like are a treasure trove of personal information of individuals. Most people have posted details on these sites that they would not dare reveal on real life. What they do not relies is that putting thing on social networking sites is potentially just as public as saying it out loud. Websites are public by nature, so you should never put any thing you want to keep secret, online at all. Many of our services are fast moving online, and online services will always require a certain amount of personal data in order to authenticate the user. But as users, we must always make certain that we have to control over the information we provide. As much publicized example was when Facebook used photos of one of its users in an advertising campaign, without that user’s knowledge. It turned out that, because of the lack of knowledge of Facebook privacy settings, the user has unwittingly authorized the uses of photo.
The thing to do hare is to be aware of situation. Online privacy is highly subjective, and it takes time and experiences to properly understand. For example, the same rule to do not apply to your online banking and your social site. They are two completely different things, and you give them completely different level of information and whether alright with that. Always give as little information as you can, because it is safer that way, till you know ho to handle your online privacy.

Fish keeping is a very good hobby because it keeps young boys engaged in their leisure hours and come to know about life in big way. How delightful it is to know the habits of multi-colored fish like the ‘Angels’, ‘Gouramies’, ‘Siamese Fighters’, ‘Zebras’, ‘Sword-tail’, ‘jewel fish’, ‘horse fish’, and scores of other fish that swim so beautifully in the glass – cages and live safety in these concrete-glass ‘prison’. They seem so happy and contented.As in any other business or industry, there is the sale of fish and bartering. These rearers also learn the art of inter-breeding fish and so getting hybrids.

Eco- Adventure
Sri Lanka blessed with an abundance of flora and fauna has a long radiation of conservation. This goes back to its ancient Buddhist tradition which teaches respect and compassion to all living things. The world’s first wild life sanctuary was set up by Royal edict in the 3rd C.B.C. in Mihintale
(Where the Buddhist doctrine was first preached) and is still a sanctuary. Understanding the importance of conservation ecological integrity, large wilderness tracts were set aside by successive rulers as reserves for rain catchments and pest control purposes. Today, the sanctuaries, national parks, and reserves where law protects flora and fauna comprise 14% of the Island’s total land area of 65610sq, Km.
Within this land area there are more than 70 sanctuaries, National parks & a number of wetlands and mountain ranges. Therefore the bio- diversity in Sri Lanka is regarded to be greater per sq. Meter of surface area than any other country in the Asian Region. When Sri Lanka’s ecosystem is compared with other Asian countries, Sri Lanka has many tropical rain forests, montane, lowland, and virgin forests and wetland. There are also many ecosystems with mangroves, sand dunes, beaches and coral reefs. Numbering over 220, Sri Lanka for its size has perhaps the largest number of waterfalls of any country in the world.
Sri Lanka is a global bio-diversity hot spot. About half of its species are endemic, including all fresh water crabs, 90% amphibians, 25-75% reptiles and vertebrates, around 50% fresh water fishes, 26% flowering plants, 145 mammals and as many as non migrant birds.
Species richness is extreme and there are known to be over 3,368 species of flowering plants, 314 ferns, 575 mosses, 190liverworts, 896 algae, 1920 fungi, 400 orchids, 242 butterflies, 117 dragonflies, and damselflies, 139 mosquitoes, 525 carabis beetles, 266 land snails, 78 fresh water fishes, 250 amphibians, 92 snakes, 35 fresh water crabs, 21 geckos, 21 shrinks, 322 non- migrant birds. The island also provides critical habitat for internationally mobile species, including5 species of endangered marine turtles, about 100 species of waterfowls, and many other migratory birds.
