Founded in 1984 and headquartered in New Delhi, Gyan Books publishes the whole range of subjects categorically furnished with intelligence and beauty, erudite researches and the novel thoughts of the well-experienced authors.
To be published is a thrilling thing Every author wishes to get his/her work published at the earlier instance of time. And, it becomes easy with Gyan Books. Through the guidelines enlisted below, one understands well the process one gets published.
The following guidelines capably help an author understand the process of submission and evaluation of Proposals and Manuscripts at Gyan Books.
What kind of Proposals is entertained and evaluated? What should a Proposal contain?
Gyan Books entertains Proposals in Humanities, Science, Art and Literature, Religion, Biographies and memoirs, Defence, Sports, Law, Police, Management, Media, Criticism, Studies: Tribal, women, Minority, Foreign, Child, Environment, Scheduled caste, State based issue etc, Tourism, Encyclopaedia, Current Affairs, Business, Health and Hygiene, Self-help, Agriculture, Applied Science, Terrorism, Occult Science, Research Work, Dictionary, Reference and Illustrated books.
In all the above mentioned areas, which cover almost every field of study and information, one can put the Proposal for works in languages, English and Hindi. Though we prefer English, priority to an outstanding work is never neglected.
We don't publish textbooks, but we do publish books on human and social science, newly-emerged disciplines and other applied vocational subjects. A Proposal sent in beyond the areas mentioned would be considered for publication also.
Gyan Books represents higher and advanced studies; therefore it doesn't publish children-books. It should contain the whole manuscript tagged with the synopsis. The synopsis entails a note on the scope and aspect. At this very stage of submission, Proposal contains a leaf of required information about the Author.
How to send the Proposal, and to whom?
It can be sent in hard copy through regular post or courier, or in soft copy through e-mail or CDs. CDs can be sent in through registered post or courier. It is important, the Proposals sent to us are never returned, therefore, it is obligatory on the part of the author, he/she should retain a copy of Proposal with him/her.
Should an author send in a complete Manuscript? Whom to contact during the process of evaluation?
Yes, it is required. At the very initial stage, the standing publishing potential of the work is evaluated for the merits in terms of structure, style, contents, readership and market It takes at least one month for a detailed evaluation of the manuscript, and during this evaluation-period, it is good to say, Gyan Books is unable to respond to any queries of the author by phone, fax, e-mail or in person.
Further, Gyan Books bears no obligation to assign any reason along with the final denial.
What is the process of evaluation, and how long does it take? Will the submitted material be returned?
It first evaluates the chapters to get an insight into the work and its potential for publication. It is done serially and soon, and categorically informed about the evaluation result to the author.
The entire manuscript is evaluated with required diligence by a team of editors for its merits: language, style, topic, readability, competition, marketability and sales potential. This detailed evaluation takes a minimum of one month and after such due process of evaluation, the final decision is communicated to the author. Owing to large number of submissions, we feel quite incapable of returning the materials (Proposal or Manuscript) if the Proposal doesn't fit in our publishing program. It is better to keep a copy of the submission.
How to get ensured of the evaluation of the Proposal? Should one come to submit the Proposal in person?
Gyan Books seeks a trust from authors, readers and other associated sections. We invite the Proposals and curiously look into them for potential which promotes the work. The judicious editorial section values all the submissions and evaluates diligently the Proposals without any prejudice. Further, we have punctual and well-functional officials at the receiving end of the submissions.
Thus it happens naturally, an author at the stage of submission has few reasons to come in person to submit.
However, an author is always most welcome to our office. In our opinion the presence of the author is productive. The Reception helps him/her to the right officials.
When the terms and conditions- royalties, territories, number of copies, distribution network – are discussed?
These are decided through a discussion only on final acceptance of the work for publication. These terms and conditions are decisions which are taken on each individual work, and they differ from work to work. With an immediacy, an author is informed about the final acceptance of the Proposal, and is invited for discussion pertaining to the terms and conditions. It is too early to ask about these at the time of submitting the Proposal. The author should wait an enevitable communication from us.
Can a Proposal be re-sent in, once rejected?
Sorry, we don't entertain the same Proposal which once has not satisfied our evaluation.
Can a Proposal be sent elsewhere while it is submitted to Gyan Books? Can a manuscript be evaluated by Gyan Books and other Publishing House simultaneously?
A Proposal can be submitted elsewhere while it is submitted to us. However, an author is requested to inform us of the same. This is further requested, an author should inform us of the acceptance of his proposal for publication elsewhere as soon as it is done. This will render a good help on our part, we will then be able to stop the evaluation of the Proposal or the manuscript.
Further, after the preliminary evaluation of the Proposal, if an author is asked to submit his/her manuscript to us, he/she should not submit the same if he/she has submitted it to another publishing house in the mean time. He/She can however submit the manuscript to us, if it is finally turned down by another publishing house, or he/she has withdrawn the same.
It is further requested, an author should not submit his/her manuscript elsewhere during its detailed evaluation is going on with us. However, an author is at liberty to communicate us to stop the evaluation of a manuscript at any stage before our final communication to him/her.
The following answers to frequent Asked Question (FAQS) lead one to understand the procedure of submitting manuscripts to us.
A Proposal includes the complete manuscript, synopsis and Author's details.
Submit the Proposal through post, courier, CD, e-mail, or in person. While submitting through post or courier, the hard copies should be typed out in A-Four size paper ideally.
Do retain a copy of the material sent, for more than often it is not returned.
Do inform us about subsequent submission of your manuscript to another publishing house, while your proposal is under our evaluation.

Washington: Russia's actions in Arctic threaten NATO's security
Sunday, May 17, 2020 11:00:00 AM
Russia is increasing its presence in the Arctic and threatening NATO's defense at the Greenland/Iceland/UK gap, stated the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Michael Murphy.
"China and Russia are seeking to more actively challenge American and Western and allied interests, whether that's in Ukraine, whether that's in North Africa, whether that's in the South China Sea, and we're seeing the same sort of challenges in the Arctic region," he said.
Russia has "established a new Arctic command there; it's created new Arctic brigades; it's refurbished old infrastructure from the Cold War, ports and air fields," Murphy explained.
"They [Russians] have announced plans to deploy an S-400 system there in the Kola Peninsula; and that military buildup goes beyond territorial defense," he said. " It's designed in part to project power into the North Atlantic in order to prevent the United States and Canada from responding and reinforcing in the event of a crisis through – by putting the Greenland/Iceland/UK gap at threat".
Russia deployed S-400 air defense systems in the Arctic in September 2019. The North Fleet Air Defense Regiment, located on the Yuzhny Island of Novaya Zemlya archipelago, was re-equipped with the new air defense systems, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The ministry added that with the transition to the new system, the area of the monitored airspace in the Arctic has significantly increased.
After all divisions in the Arctic receive S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, an air defense dome will be formed over the Russian part of the region, said the Commander of the Russian Northern Fleet Vice Admiral Alexander Moiseyev.
Russia carried our submarine exercises in the Arctic. Last November, two Russian nuclear submarines of the Northern Fleet carried out a firing duel there, tracking each other down and shooting at the "enemy". In March, a video from the exercises of two submarines in the Arctic was published by the U.S. Navy. Within three weeks, The U.S. sailors had to set up a temporary Seadragon camp right on the ice sheet, carry out several surfacing drills (including at the North Pole) and perform a number of combat missions.

With first-hand experience of our guardianship services and therefore a unique understanding of how and why guardianship is such a necessity to the UK study experience, this term we contacted Bright World Alumni to find out how we had impacted their time here.
The results of our survey took us all a little by surprise and brought a tear to the eye of Bright World's founder, Lana. We think we do a great job but to hear just how much of a difference we have made was really something special. Read the full story in news.
With Christmas time just around the corner, our guardianship team have been working hard to ensure that all our students get home safely for the festive season. The Christmas departure is a major event in the guardianship year, with nearly all our students travel home. If this terms events and travel periods have been anything to go by, then we can expect great things. All Autumn these events have been handled faultlessly, with hundreds of journeys and host family stays coordinated without glitches. With this in mind, and in order to better-recognise the incredible work being done operationally, we have now introduced the "WOW Awards" initiative. The award is presented to a member of head office staff following each event. So far we have had three worthy winners, and you can read about each of them on our news feed.
Study Travel Magazine article continued to raise awareness this month, highlighting the need for regulation in the guardianship industry. The aptly named, "Responsible Guardianship", informs parents who have wrongly assuming that all guardians are safe and that there is someone checking them out on their behalf.
Autumn 2018 has been one of the busiest times in our history, and everyone has played a huge part in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. All of our students' arrangements have been managed impeccably by our Guardianship Care, and Travel & Accommodation Teams, while Marketing & Admissions have been busy processing late September applications, as well as those for 2019. Our January intake is now open for students joining the guardianship programme at this entry point.
It was a typically busy start to the Autumn term, with hundreds of taxi journeys, flights, and host family stays coordinated for arrivals, exeats, and the half term break. Incredibly, the team have managed to handle this smoothly and efficiently, with no issues or complaints being reported. This really is testament to the great work our Guardianship Care Team do operationally.
All students have now been visited at school by their Bright World Buddy, with Arrival Care Plans being submitted to Blink for parents to read. All of our students seem to have settled into school life incredibly well.
Preparations for the busy Christmas period are now well underway, when the majority of our students will travel home to spend time with their families.
The fact that both Fi and Leanne have already won a "WOW Award" reflects what an impressive job they've been doing. Host families are being secured almost immediately after students have enrolled with us, and this has been hugely beneficial for both us, and our students. Intensive system checks have also been ensuring that our Accommodation and Travel team stay well on top of everything and ensure that every child is accounted for during events. This has been implemented to minimise the risk of students not being picked up from school, and has been working incredibly well.
Safeguarding & Operations Manager, Jenny Rumble, along with other members of the Bright World Team, recently attended a webinar hosted by No Fluff and Curious Human. This seminar provided important information and suggestions for both recognising and trying to improve mental wellbeing in our international students.
Our Marketing & Admissions Team have been busy as usual. Cory flew out to the Bright Fair in Moscow in October, and more recently attended the British Boarding Schools Workshop, where he met with partner schools new and old. Louis experienced his first overseas marketing trip when he exhibited at UKEAS Nigeria's education exhibition in Lagos.
Grace and Hai from Bright World's China office have become more involved in the marketing team, attending numerous meetings by Skype on a weekly basis. They have now been made responsible for managing relationships with our partner agents in China, by each being designated certain regions. This reflects our new worldwide regional management approach.
The team have also been working hard to create content for parents to help give further understanding to our role in safeguarding young overseas students. Read the rest of our blog to see for yourselves!


This is our third week of being offered these lovely little cabbages in our Full Diet CSA. It is so interesting because about three weeks ago I received Cooks Country in the mail. I was paging through the issue, and to my surprise, ran across a recipe for grilled cabbage. My In-Laws get a subscription for me every year for the winter holidays, and I love flipping through the issues ogling the yummy sweet and savory recipes. I can recall having only made a handful of recipes out of the magazines over the years, however I love them and get tons of inspiration reading them cover to cover.
In fact, reading cooking magazines, and cookbooks is my guilty pleasure. I often have day dreams of my perfect vacation where someone else is taking care of my children, and I am sitting in a comfortable chair(outside or inside), with stacks of magazines and cookbooks. Of course nobody is invading my personal space, interrupting me or asking me questions, in these daydreams. Ahhhhh, one can dream, can't one?
The first week our CSA offered these Spring cabbages, we only took one. I remember quartering it, salting it, oiling it, and grilling it. My whole family absolutely went crazy over it. We ate it outside with some hamburgers made from fresh ground organic free range beef from happy Oregon Oakhill Organics Cows. When my family was done consuming this cabbage, everyone looked at the empty plate, and I am almost positive, they were secretly hoping that if they stared long and hard enough at the plate, some more would magically appear. It did not.
This recipe for grilled cabbage is inspired by the August 2013 issue of Cooks Country Magazine. Feel free to add some thyme, parsley, or other fresh herbs to the cabbage after oiling it. You can absolutely use it in the place of lettuce on your hamburgers, veggie burgers, or turkey burgers. Slice it and put it on top of hot dogs or sausages. By all means, slice it after grilling, and add it to a scrumptious stir-fry. Experiment away, and let me know how much you, your family and friends love grilled cabbage.

are you freely able to change the camo to other tanks in the nation you select?
Nope, once you get it for nation X, it will only work on the tier 10's of nation X. Not the other Y, and Z nations.
Do these give any camo bonus?


Claire pulled the picture out to compare. Yes, his face looked much older, but still handsome nonetheless, and although his hair was mostly grey now, it was still long and worn back in the same ponytail. A more recent piece about him came from a Montmartre periodical. He taught art classes to special needs children and the article mentioned his habit of sketching in the Place du Tertre in front of Sacré Coeur Basilica on Sundays.
I have special needs, Claire thought. I need to see my father.
How would this work, exactly? She could just show up at his address but that seemed too abrupt and jarring. What would she say to him when he answered the door? She couldn't understand the telephone system and even if she was able to get a number for him, what if he thought she was a nut case and hung up on her? She invented many excuses, to cover her anxiety. What if he has a wife and children? She couldn't just spring herself on him and them. No, tomorrow was Sunday and she would go to Montmartre and try to find him there. She walked back to her little hotel clutching print-outs of all the articles.
The next morning, she was up far too early. She had barely slept. She changed clothes several times trying to decide what to wear. She settled for jeans, sneakers and a long-sleeved striped tee shirt, very French chic, and she grabbed her bright yellow rain poncho as the day was overcast with showers threatening.
By the time she reached the Montmartre hill, a drizzle had started. The skies were dark and foreboding but the famous white Sacré Coeur rose like a beacon in the gray sky. She was starving, excited and nauseous all at once. The yellow poncho covered her almost to the ground, keeping everything but her sneakers dry. Up ahead, a little tabac called out to her. She used her few French words to order coffee and a croissant with jam. Biting into the flaky, buttery confection loaded down with strawberry preserves, she just knew that one would not be enough. Her appetite was back. Meals over the past weeks were hit and miss but today a new energy coursed through her. A longing for life. Maybe it was just the city, maybe it was the idea of a father, but she was on fire. She finished one creamy café au lait, deciding whether to have another. How could coffee taste this good?
From her corner window table, she watched the artists scurrying around setting up their easels and samples of their work under umbrellas trying to keep their pastels and water-colours dry. Many threw big plastic sheets over their artwork and waited for the rain to subside. With pure joy she sipped her café and watched the passing parade of students and tourists.
As suddenly as it came, the rain parted. Steam rose up from the cobblestoned streets as the sunshine broke through. First I should see the church and then start the search, she thought. She paid her bill. The garçon gave her a big smile as he saw the generous tip. He looked at her appraisingly. Blonde hair and green eyes, pretty enough, but he could only guess at what lay beneath the poncho. She smiled back at him.

The Best Interests of the Child in the context of the Age Appropriate Design Code
On World Teachers' Day 2021 we are pleased to release our latest report: a reflection on the Best Interests of the Child UNCRC principle in the context of the Age Appropriate Design Code.
The Age Appropriate Design Code became enforceable from September 2nd 2021. Will it have the effects its 15 standards set out to achieve? The ICO must navigate a new course that goes beyond the narrow framing of data protection law. With a soon-to-be new Commissioner at the helm and with changes to UK data protection law that lie ahead, what might it all mean for children?
Our report, written in collaboration with Dr Jonathan Collinson, senior lecturer in law at the University of Huddersfield, reflects on findings that began with a separate literature review to examine where the UNCRC principle, the Best Interests of the Child, has been applied to date.
In our reflection, we came to ten key conclusions with suggestions. We also raise questions of what the principle means in practice. We consider the challenges for industry and the ICO as a regulator and its duty to economic growth, we consider the potential implications of the Code to reduce the role of parents in balancing rights, roles, and responsibilities. We consider its unintended consequences and how this Code may be used to further self-interests by companies or collective interests.

A Reflection on the Best Interests of the Child UNCRC Principle in the Context of the Age Appropriate Design Code (defend digital me, 2021)
Watch the event from October 5, 2021
Report launch and Discussion event
On October 5th, join us for a one hour panel Q&A discussion on making digital rights a reality in the classroom. We've lots of questions that our panel will discuss. Is the ICO expecting to assess the Best Interests of the Child as a substantive or procedural obligation? Does the Code apply to data controllers and data processors any differently? Can the Right to Object in data protection law ever work for school children? How can school staff have clarity, confidence and consistency in the procurement decisions they are making? Is there progress in developing technical standards and tools to enable choice and control? Can children realise their rights in the classroom?Registration required to attend. The recording will be posted after the event. Bring your questions to join in. The event will be live and signed. Free. Donations are also welcome.
We were delighted to welcome panelists from practice, academics and the Regulator the ICO, to participate in discussion.

Key areas for discussion
1. The Best Interests of the Child
The Best Interests of the Child is a richly textured principle, encompassing a range of interests which are given expression as substantive human rights in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights include positive rights to fundamental rights and freedoms; like the right to privacy, rights to life, survival and development. Article 31 gives rights to access leisure, play and culture. Children have rights and freedoms to political expression and to express their identity; to seek, access and impart information; to have freedom of thought, conscience and religion; to freely associate with others; and to education.
The UNCRC also demands freedom from things, including from mental violence, from economic exploitation, and from sexual exploitation. A wide range of potential harms which children have a right to be protected against have been identified in the children's rights literature as relevant to the digital context and the Best Interests Principle.
However, the UNCRC is emphatically not just about protecting children as vulnerable objects of care who require protection. The UNCRC is founded on the idea that children also possess agency to participate in the social world, and that their participation rights are also important to uphold. Reducing the rights of children in the digital sphere to focus only on rights to be protected from harms therefore devalues the totality of children's rights.
2. Balancing rights, roles, and responsibilities
State regulation fails when it fails to protect children from harms, but it also fails when it considers the Best Interests of the Child as only encompassing a responsibility to protect and ignoring children's agency. The balance between competing rights and the responsibilities of the duty bearers might or might not be obvious: devising rights' respecting public policy is therefore complex.
The nature of the Best Interests of the Child is patriarchal by design. Adults deciding for children can undermine children's autonomy and agency. But the role of parents and state are expressly recognised as separate in the UNCRC Articles 3, 5 and 18 and frequently mentioned in the UNCRC. The application of the Code may directly challenge today's balance of child, parental and company responsibilities. In fact some would argue that is its purpose, to support parents by reducing their role in policing the design of children's apps and platforms, and pushing it back to companies.
The UNCRC Article 18 is explicit and the courts for example in the Named Persons case (para 72), have discussed this balance before.
"Articles 27(3) and 18(2) make it clear that the state's role is to assist the parents in carrying out their responsibilities"
"States Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure recognition of the principle that both parents have common responsibilities for the upbringing and development of the child. Parents or, as the case may be, legal guardians, have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of the child. The best interests of the child will be their basic concern."
What will this look like in practice in ICO assessment of compliance? The Best Interests Framework addresses this role of the parent and child in the question of what privacy policy information may look like.
The Age Appropriate Design Code also risks shifting children's rights compliance to be based by design on age alone, rather than the UNCRC principle which recognises the evolving capacity of a child and autonomy.
This decision-making on how a balance of rights is reached will be new for most businesses. The balance of responsibility for that may move away from parents at the point of their child's use of digital products as a result, to instead be pre- determined in the architecture and design of tools and services.
3. A substantive or procedural obligation?
A key question is whether the Best Interests Principle is expected to be assessed as a substantive or procedural obligation on digital service providers? And how will the best interests of the child as "a primary consideration" be demonstrated?
If the aims of the principle and the Code are to be operationalised in consistent ways companies need clarity of expectations how the ICO will determine the balance between children's rights, and between children: how they assess the Best Interests of the Child in terms of individuals or as a collective? Can the ICO best interests framework and self-assessment risk tool address this?
The final question we considered is whether the import of a principle from one area of governance into another — child rights into data protection — has inherent conflicts and whether it may result in consequences in the other direction if and when precedents are set in the new context.
4. Impacts of the changing data protection environment
The UK Data Protection regime is complicated by exiting the EU and announcements by the Department for Digital Media Culture and Sport that suggest more changes ahead. All this uncertainty and change, creates a challenge for both setting expectations and enforcement.
At the same time, we are braced for a review of the Human Rights Act. The effectiveness of the UNCRC is limited due to its weak international enforcement mechanisms and uneven domestic incorporation. By contrast the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), although not designed with children specifically in mind, has mechanisms (albeit also with limitations) that include a functional Court.
While we look to Codes of Practice for guidance and setting expectations, we conclude that every route for enforcement must be vigorously defended as the mechanism to uphold the full range of children's human rights in the digital environment.

All passengers require COVID-19 insurance for minimum period of one month, expenses relating to health not to be borne by Govt. during stay
Travellers will only be allowed in certified hotels, use of public transportation disallowed
Tourist sites will be reopened for travellers
Sri Lanka Tourism Chief says objective is to restart and recover fast, benefits to trickle down
By Charumini de Silva
To resume international tourism in a COVID-19 safe environment, guidelines are being finalised with a draft strategy document under discussion among key stakeholders.
The Health Ministry's COVID-19 Clinical Management Expert Committee in collaboration with Sri Lanka Tourism has prepared all-inclusive guidelines to resume tourism gradually.
"We have suggested reopening both airports for international guests from all countries with effect from 1 January. A comprehensive set of guidelines for approval by health authorities has been submitted and is eagerly waiting for a favourable response," Sri Lanka Tourism Chairperson Kimarli Fernando told the Daily FT.
She said the protocol will be regularly reviewed by the Ministry of Health.
"A mandatory 14 days stay, with a confirmed itinerary will be a mandatory section as a part of the online visa process via Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. During the first 14-day quarantine period visitors will be limited to Level 1 hotels and visa will only be granted for visitors with pre-booked and pre-paid booking in Level 1 hotels that are certified," she said.
In the Level 1 accommodation, tourists are permitted to stay within the premises and move around only to isolated areas exclusively for the particular guest, family or group. Tourists staying longer than 14 days are permitted stay in Level 2 accommodation which will be KPMG Certified Safe and Secure accommodation and will be permitted to visit selected tourist sites accompanied by a registered Tourist guide.
The approved tourist sites will be available on the SLTDA website. Tourists staying longer than 28 days are free to book any type of accommodation registered with Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA).
Long-stay travellers, dual passport holders or Sri Lankan passport holders travelling with international tourists in a group, resident permit holders, film tourism and sports tourism visa types will be considered according to the guidelines.
Sri Lanka Tourism encourages all visitors to download the 'Visit Sri Lanka App' incorporated in the Immigration and Emigration online visa application, which is pending Cabinet approval. All Sri Lanka Tourism Certified Level 1 and Level 2 establishments will be linked to the travel App and Tourism website.
Fernando also said that they have proposed to issue visas for six months instead of the current one month and is awaiting Cabinet approval while noting that the issuance of 'On Arrival' visas are suspended until further notice.
The guidelines include that all passengers should obtain a mandatory COVID-19 insurance online during the visa application process from a local insurance company for a minimum period of one month, as no expenses relating to any health will be borne by the Government during the stay in Sri Lanka.
She said no more than 300 tourists per day in total at both airports Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and Mattala International Airport (MIA) will be reopened for tourists in a phased-out manner, with first preference being given to the repatriation of citizens back to Sri Lanka.
In addition, all international airlines will be allowed with prior approval from COVID-19 Taskforce and Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL). "We welcome all scheduled flights, charter flights, private jets and all flights that will bring international tourists to Sri Lanka to resume the tourism sector in the country," she added.
A mandatory PCR test report taken 72-hours before arrival along with the Health Declaration Form (HDF) of Sri Lanka should be submitted by all passengers at the port of entry. The HDF will be given to all travellers at the time of the issuance of travel tickets by the airline or on board the airplane. On arrival, Antigen test and/or PCR test will be conducted at the airport by the Ministry of Health and/or private hospitals.
Tourists will not be allowed to use public transportation and the responsibility of travel from airport to certified hotels will be arranged by the certified hotelier or travel agent.
The guidelines highlights that hotels can only opt to either; exclusively have booking for international tourists (Level 1 Hotel) or exclusively have booking for international tourists (Level 2 Hotel) or domestic tourists (Level 3 Hotels) or quarantine hotel facilities for returning Sri Lankan citizens or quarantine hotel for seafarers or hotel hospital (Isolation hotel for PCR positive symptomatic).
"Hotels when opting for one of the above can only function in that particular capacity. In the event the hotel wishes to change type of operation or wishes to withdraw from providing accommodation to international tourists; the management is required to provide prior written notice of their withdrawal or request change to the COVID-19 Task Force, Ministry of Health (Environmental and Occupational Health) and SLTDA," she said, adding that failure to adhere to guidelines and instruction will result in strict penalties including the cancellation of the licence with SLTDA.
Fernando also said that all tourist sites will be reopened for travellers and will be in the SLTDA website. "There will be designated days allocated for international tourists in consultation with the line agencies. All tourist sites and attractions will need to comply with the guidelines and protocols and will be monitored by SLTDA, Tourist Police, Ministry of Health and other relevant authorities. Tourist Police will maintain outposts at popular sites and attractions to ensure adherence to guidelines," she said.
The guidelines include responsibilities of all stakeholders and personal liabilities as well.
"Our objective is to restart the industry and fast-track the recovery of the sector which was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. We want the benefits to be trickled down to all levels in the community," Fernando stressed.
She also said that following success initiatives such as 'Couch Safari', Sri Lanka has gained a lot of attraction from international travellers and that the online promotional activities in key tourism markets have been successful.


Heroic knights from England, Germany and Wales will all be competing to be champion when the popular Grand Medieval Joust returns to Lincoln Castle next month.
On Saturday and Sunday, August 5-6 Europe's finest will arrive for a weekend of full-contact jousting.
Jon Hogan, public engagement manager, said: "Added to this, we have a full supporting cast of costumed performers to immerse visitors in medieval England of the 15th century.
Who will your little knights be cheering on?
In this display, the knights exercise their horses and show their prowess with a variety of weapons – a good chance to choose your favourite.
Then, at 2pm, watch the knights being helped into their medieval armour by their squires, before they take to the jousting arena or 'lists' at 3pm.
The event runs from 11am to 4.30pm, with the main castle attractions open 10am and 5pm. Tickets cost £13.50 for adults, £11 for concs and £7.20 for children. Family tickets are also available for £34.20, and there is a 10 per cent discount for advance online booking.
Tickets include admission to the event and all the castle's attractions, including the Medieval Wall Walk, Victorian Prison and David PJ Ross Magna Carta Vault. They also include a free return visit within six months and can include daytime events.

Audi R10 TDI using biofuel for the first time
Jeremy Korzeniewski
May 31st 2008 at 3:17PM
In the world of alternative power, not all fuels are created equal. This fact is true with ethanol, where the alcohol can be made using fairly inefficient processes, some of which involve corn, or using more advanced cellulosic methods which do not use a foodstock. Diesel too can come from either petroleum or from non-dino sources. You're probably aware that Audi has been assaulting various race tracks using its advanced diesel powered race cars, specifically its two-time Le Mans-winning R10 TDI, which has so far been running on what is known as gas-to-liquid (GTL) diesel fuel. With the 24 Hours of Le Mans just around the corner, Audi and Shell, the fuel provider for Audi's race team, have announced that the team will be blending a small amount of biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuel into its secret mixture. Shell's BTL fuel is made from materials such as wood chips and will make its on-track debut on Sunday, June 1, as Audi's R10 TDI begins its official Le Mans testing.

Audi R10 TDI uses Biofuel of the next generation for the first time
* World premiere at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
* New: Shell V-Power Diesel race fuel with GTL and BTL
* Synthetic diesel fuel reduces emission of CO2
* British ace Allan McNish bids for glory
Ingolstadt – World premiere in motorsport: At the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours on 14/15 June, the three Audi R10 TDI prototypes entered by Audi Sport Team Joest will race for the first time with the next generation of Biofuel manufactured from Biowaste and promising a reduction in the emission of CO2 by almost 90 per cent when compared with traditional diesel. Britain's Allan McNish will race an Audi bidding for glory in a race he won 10 years ago.
Audi fields the 650-hp plus R10 TDI, which has already won the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in sportscar races since 2006. Shell V-Power Diesel race fuel produced by development partner Shell has been used since the very beginning. It's a particularly powerful and efficient synthetic fuel which is created from Natural Gas in a process called Gas To Liquids (GTL). Fuels with these components are already available at the pumps.
For the third appearance of the Audi R10 TDI at Le Mans, a small amount of Biofuel of the next generation is mixed for the first time with the previously well-proven GTL components: BTL (Biomass To Liquids), as it is officially called, is extracted from Biowaste that is unfit for use in foodstuffs, for example from waste wood. BTL promises a reduction in the amount of CO2 emission by almost 90 per cent compared to traditional diesel.
Although they are manufactured from different raw materials, the two alternative fuels BTL and GTL are practically Sulphur free and odourless. They combine quality and efficient combustion with reduced exhaust emissions.
"Audi voiced its support early for the use of next generation Biofuels at Le Mans," explains Michael Dick, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG with responsibility for Technical Development. "It underlines our philosophy that we view Le Mans as a tough test field for new technologies which will be available at a later date in production cars for our customers. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) provides the opportunity to use alternative drive concepts and fuels, which we exploit to the full."
The V12 TDI known for its efficiency and fitted to the Audi R10 TDI has already been tested successfully with the new fuel on the dynamometer and during tests. The first public appearance follows this coming Sunday (1 June) at the official test day at Le Mans. It traditionally provides teams with the only opportunity to test on the 13.629-kilometre circuit of Le Mans before the race.
Practice is on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. All three cars of Audi Sport Team Joest and all nine drivers will be in action.

Upgrade Before Microsoft Office 2003 Support Ends in April 2014
Last week I told you to Put a Plan in Place to Upgrade From Windows XP before its support ends in April 2014. The clock is ticking and now there are only 217 days left (when this post first appeared). On that same date, support also ends for Microsoft Office 2003.
Why is it so important to stop using either Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 before support ends? Think about how you feel when the lottery jackpot grows and you dream about the insanely slim possibility that you would hold the winning ticket.
That's exactly how many hackers feel about support ending for a very popular operating system and office suite. If the hackers can find a security hole and infect thousands or even millions of computers, they can have their own lottery payday. So if you think there isn't motivation for these criminals to hack your computer, you really need to think again. And no matter how hard you try to be safe, they will be trying even harder to find a way to infect your computer and take it over!
Reasons Users Give for Sticking With Office 2003
Microsoft Office 2003 was the last version with two features that users claim to be very important. First, it was the last version with a menu system. Microsoft replaced the menus with the ribbon in all future versions of Office, including Office 2013. The second big change was to the file formats of each of the programs. In a memo Bill Gates wrote to employees in early 2002, he made it clear that Microsoft "can and must do better" with regards to security. File format changes were necessary because of many Office vulnerabilities involving malformed data files.
If your concern is about the change in data files, the newer versions of Microsoft Office can open all of the old files just fine. They can also save backwards to the old formats, though there are times that something can be lost when saving backwards.
For that worried about the "ribbon" interface, it just isn't that hard to switch. I remember having to look around for something the first few days, but after a very short time I was able to find everything I needed to find. If you really, really, really must have menus, there are add-ons that will restore the menus. I highly recommend you at least give the ribbon a chance first!
A few users also say their decision to stick with Office 2003 is either because it does everything they need or they claim that their finances don't allow for an upgrade. When your computer is hacked and you have to pay someone to clean up the mess, how much is that going to cost you? I guarantee you it will be a lot more than whatever you'll pay to get a new version. Office 2003 certainly can't do everything you need after April 2014 as it won't keep your computer safe! You may also be surprised to find some new features that truly are helpful to you.
Folks, we're talking about software released in 2002. It is already eleven years old! It is time to quit living with ancient technology and move to something newer.
Security Holes Patched in the Last Year
If you don't think Office 2003 is insecure, we only need to look at the security bulletins Microsoft has released in the last year. There have been 10 security bulletins from August 2012 through July 2013 and 5 of those security bulletins were rated as critical. Even though this is very mature software, security holes are still being found quite regularly and those holes will continue to be found after April 2014. The difference is that Microsoft won't release a patch to close the hole and your system will be at the mercy of a very motivated group of hackers.
A Few Office Options to Consider
Some of you will say this is just a grand plot for Microsoft to sell you new software and there is a small bit of truth in that. If you released a product or project 11 years ago, would you still want to go back and keep it updated for customers who haven't bought anything in more than ten years? Sure, they want to sell new software, but they are tired of paying programmers to fix ancient software.
The first option is to get the latest version of Microsoft Office. For non-corporate customers, it is only available as a download. For a small business, one of the better choices for a one-time purchase is Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013. Another option is Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium, though you are purchased a 1-year subscription. There are a variety of options and each of them is listed on the pages I provided. Complain about the price if you like, but I guarantee any of the prices are less than you'll pay to get the infection removed from your computer if you stick with Office 2003.
For those of you who would prefer to purchase a suite from a different software provider, Corel WordPerfect X6 is an option. While it most likely has the features you need, it does work differently from Microsoft Office. And if you want a free option that runs on your own computer, you may want to investigate LibreOffice.
Those are only some of the many options that are available. The key is that you really need to investigate the options and make a change before Microsoft ends support for Office 2003 in April 2014. The perfect choice for you is not necessarily the product that is best for me. That said, I've been very happy with Microsoft Office 2010 and will soon be moving to Microsoft Office 2013.
Use Cleaning Gel on Keyboards, Laptops and More

Know Inshah Bashir- the first female wheel chair basketball player from Kashmir
Inshah Bashir
Kashmir- People of Kashmir are known for their patience and resiliance to fight for survival even during the most adverse situations. Inshah Bashir, a 24 year old Kasmiri woman is the brand new story of inspiration from the heavenly valley in distress; one who has defied odds to follow her passion. Inshah is the first ever female wheelchair basketball player from Kashmir who is all set to participate in the Sports Visitor Program 2019 in the US.
In a life wrecking accident that happened in the year 2010, Inshah fell from the balcony of her own house resulting in a spinal injury that made her wheel chair bound since then. Nine years after the tragic incident Inshah Bashir is already in the history books for her determination and success.
Life wasn't easy for Inshah after the accident, and after an unsuccessful surgery to recover, Inshah slowly coped with the trauma with the support from her friends and family. It was during her time at the Shafqat Rehabilation Center, Inshah spotted other specially-abled people like her playing basketball in wheelchairs. Though Inshah was reluctant at first when they invited her to join the game, once she started playing, Inshah found an instant connection with basketball. Soon, she founded a renewed passion for life and her interest in basketball grew with every passing day. As she was the first among the girls to show interest in basketball, initially she had to play with boys team. In 2017, Inshah was qualified for National Championship in Hyderabad and she played for the 'Rest of India' team that year.
Inshah in an interview says that her practice sessions with Jammu and Kashmir boys wheelchair basketball team helped her improve her game a lot. More focused and determined than ever Inshah now goes to the gym everyday and follows specific diet instructed by her coach. However, she feels that state and central government isn't providing enough infra structure and facilities in the region to promote the sports. The lack of friendly infra structure and eco system for specially-abled persons also deters the growth of such individuals, she said in an interview.
Inshah, who is a proven fighter and survivor, shows no signs of backing down amidst the lack support from as she recently got an invitation from the US Consulate to participate in the Sports Visitor Program in 2019. She hopes to be an image of inspiration for those who have been let down by fate like her and views sports as a valve through which women could be liberated.

Regardless of its deployment platform, OpenSL ES provides a common reference API (Application Programming Interface) that enables any device to achieve the maximum audio performance available to its hardware. OpenSL ES is the latest addition to the line of Khronos APIs creating a common platform of hardware-accelerated, cross platform functionality for mobile devices, including OpenGL ES™ (2D/3D graphics) and OpenMAX™ IL (system-level multimedia) and OpenMAX™ AL (application-level multimedia). The OpenSL ES 1.1 specification is immediately available for download at www.khronos.org/opensles/ and may be used royalty-free by implementers and developers.
OpenSL ES Details
OpenSL ES 1.1 is a fully featured audio API that enables application developers to control and utilize advanced audio functionality in a device while being isolated from platform specifics. This allows audio-enhanced applications to run on a multitude of hardware-accelerated and software-based platforms. OpenSL ES was designed by many of the leading industry audio experts to provide access to a broad range of audio functionality, including:
Playback of PCM and encoded content, MIDI ringtones and UI sounds, as well as extraction of content metadata;
General audio controls such as volume, rate and pitch; music player effects such as equalizer, bass boost, preset reverberation and stereo widening, as well as advanced 3D effects such as Doppler, environmental reverberation and virtualization;
Advanced MIDI including SP-MIDI, mobile DLS, mobile XMF, MIDI messages and the ability to use the output of the MIDI engine as a 3D sound source;
Full 3D positional audio including grouping of 3D sound sources;
Audio recording in PCM as well as non-PCM formats;
Optional support for LED and vibrator control, 3D macroscopic control and audio recording;
Provides a portable foundation for implementing the audio portions of higher-level APIs such as JSR 135 and JSR 234;
Technical details unique to OpenSL ES 1.1 include support for:
Buffer queues
Content pipes
Better application control of 3D performance
Explicit object ordering
Dynamic sources and sinks
Multiple version support
Metadata support for streaming playback
Extension configuration support
Due to the broad range of audio functionality it offers, OpenSL ES defines three overlapping profiles allowing implementers to select the features required by a particular device while preserving application portability (one or more profiles may be used on a device):
The Phone profile provides playback controls and volume controls, sound prioritization and MIDI as well as the ability to direct sound to multiple simultaneous outputs;
The Music profile provides balance and pan controls, sound prioritization and audio effects such as virtualization, preset reverberation and equalizer controls;
The Game profile provides buffer queues, pitch and playback rate control, environmental reverberation and extensive positional 3D audio controls that complement the use of OpenGL ES for 3D graphics in sophisticated mobile applications.
An Adopters Program for OpenSL ES, including extensive conformance tests to ensure cross-implementation consistency and trademark usage by conformant implementations, will be released by Khronos during the first quarter of 2011. SRS Labs, Inc. also has a complete OpenSL ES v1.1 Phone – Music – Game solution, including all of the optional features and relevant IP blocks required, available for license to interested companies.
OpenSL ES seamlessly integrates with the latest version of OpenMAX™ AL for a complete multimedia-enhanced mobile solution, with OpenMAX AL providing multimedia playback and recording capabilities while OpenSL ES provides advanced stereo and 3D audio functionality. (EDITORS NOTE: OpenMAX AL 1.1 was announced simultaneously at the Khronos press conference on January 18, 2011 – see press release for further details).
"The enhancements released in OpenSL ES 1.1 and OpenMAX AL 1.1 enable handset manufactures to provide application developers with a truly portable advanced audio and streaming multimedia solution. The combined power of OpenSL ES and OpenMAX AL, linked by their common architecture, has never before been available in a standard developed specifically for mobile solutions," said Neil Trevett, President of the Khronos Group.
3rd-Party Support
A number of leading companies have worked on the OpenSL ES 1.1 specification, including: AMD®, Creative®, Ericsson®, Google®, Nokia®, NVIDIA®, Qualcomm® and SRS Labs, Inc. A full list of the OpenSL ES Working Group members may be found at www.khronos.org/opensles.
"Today's smartphones and other advanced mobile devices either carry or have access to massive libraries of songs, movies and TV shows but, unfortunately, almost all of these mobile devices suffer the drawback of collapsed audio due to their small and closely spaced speaker configurations," said Bob Lyle, Managing Director of Global Business Development for SRS Labs, Inc. "To address this inherent shortcoming, SRS has developed several new audio enhancement solutions and we are very excited to be contributing to the OpenSL ES specification and bringing our unique psychoacoustic know-how and world class technologies to a wide range of mobile applications, effectively delivering a compelling and dynamic audio experience to any mobile device."
"OpenSL ES brings powerful, advanced 3D audio to mobile devices in a simple and standardized way. It empowers applications to harness hardware acceleration and third party audio enhancements in a simple to use, object-oriented design," said Erik Noreke, Chair of the OpenSL ES Working Group and an Independent Standardization Specialist. "The adopters program provides access to the Khronos royalty-free IP license, one of the most implementer-friendly IP policies in the industry."

Field Report #3: Living Computers: Museum + Labs
Amelia Acker
First Site Visit: LCM+L
Two weeks ago I visited the Living Computers: Museum + Labs in Seattle, Washington. LCM+L is a computing technology museum that features an impressive collection of early working computers from the late twentieth century, including a super computer, several mainframes and minicomputers, and over thirty microcomputers. Many of these machines were donated Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft and founder of the museum. Allen believed that direct access to technology can provide transformational experiences for young people, and each of these exhibition experiences showcase how working, vintage computers like mainframes and minicomputers led to the mobile computers we carry in our pockets.
The most popular game on the exhibit floor for visitors is Oregon Trail booted with a Floppy Emu software emulator.
LCM+L as a member of the FCoP Cohort
For their FCoP cohort project, LCM+L is piloting a number of emulators for vintage operating systems and software in order to preserve and share what they call the "Middle Ages of Computing". The pilot is focused on best practices and workflow documentation for working with emulators, the EaaSI sandbox, and exploring the experience of emulators themselves. Some emulators that the museum uses are open source or already available to consumers, like the Floppy Emu Disk Emulator. But many of the emulators that LCM+L uses are developed in-house by a team of vintage computing engineers who maintain the museum's unique, comprehensive collection.
Observing mission in action
LCM+L is what is known as a "touch museum", meaning that visitors and researchers are encouraged to physically interact with the machines, their operating systems, and software, including physical media formats like floppy disks and game cartridges. At the heart of this mission is the goal of keeping of software, operating systems, and hardware alive with emulators. During my visit, I witnessed many groups of kids on field trips, as well as individual visitors form the public, ranging from teens to older adults. Each had different approaches to the machines based on their personal computing experiences. For example, in an exhibit on mini-computers, a punch card machine with a hardware emulator for writing allows visitors to type and punch their own cards. While most of the kids were able to type and begin punching data to cards, only the older adult visitors knew how to remove punched cards from the machine.
Found punched card left behind by a visitor.
Workflows and problem solving
Over three days, I worked closely with Cynde Moya, Collections Manager and Software Preservation Lab lead and my "site champion". Cynde arranged for me to interview the members of the preservation and archives teams and other museum staff members, and provided me with behind the scenes access to observe this computing museum in action. As described in earlier reports, this research project is particularly concerned with investigating workflows. One aim of analyzing workflows is to illustrate how work happens as a process. For software preservation workflows, I am particularly interested in how are problems discovered, how are preservation opportunities identified, and what are the steps involved ensuring access.
In my own work, as a processing archivist and later as an archival educator and digital preservation researcher, I've always characterized preservation practice as a kind of problem solving process. Software preservation and emulation is no different–an archivist has to identify an access goal, a problem that can be overcome, plan a solution, and document the process as you solve each problem. So on the first day, when I shadowed Cynde on a number of preservation tasks, we approached each one as an opportunity to document the process and to observe documentation resources that already existed.
Lab notes documenting preservation processes at a workstation.
Chains of documentation
On days two and three, I attended a team meeting and interviewed 2 archivists, 3 engineers, and 2 guest services guides from across the museum, interviewing them about their typical workdays, role responsibilities, and perceptions of emulation in support of the museum's overall mission and unique preservation mandate to keep computers alive. An overall for this cohort project is developing documentation that carefully describe preservation workflows, challenges, findings, and ongoing recommendations for the larger software preservation community. So during my interviews and observations I was particularly interested in where and how documentation resulted, and how team members' workflows intersected, overlapped, where decision points happen. Throughout my visit I was struck by the documentation chains that already existed as part of the LCM+L's pilot and the metadata that was collected as I shadowed Cynde. We used all sorts of emulators to create disk images and preservation copies for the exhibit floor. I was especially excited to observe DECtape data transfers using a tape hardware emulator on a LAB-8/E part of the DEC PDP-8 family from the 1970s. The machine has a beautiful green color scheme, the tapes themselves are a very unique in blue casing, and the setup involved a daisy chain of three adapters to support the data transfer.
Transferring DECtapes with the LAB-8/E.
Initial takeaways and next steps
As the FCoP project researcher, our goal for gathering preservation workflows and describing procedural activities is not to recommend a complete a set of requirements, but instead to characterize unique software preservation environments in situ. By observing the variety of work supported by emulation we can better understand the different kinds of problems that preservationists confront in their work and how they go about solving them in teams.
Observing, documenting, and elaborating these processes can be seen as a kind of task decomposition that over the course of the FCoP project may result in some generalizable knowledge about how software preservation and emulation works.
Towards the end of my visit, I was surprised to find that I filled up most of my 80 page field notebook with data! On the plane home I transcribed the fieldnotes with my alphasmart 3000, my wordprocessor. In the coming weeks, I will code my field notes for emerging themes and key ideas to support synthesis and report out my findings next year. Look out for some more exciting field reports in the next few weeks!

The Best Time to Buy a Car? Anytime!
Ever wonder why there's an onslaught of car deals and specials for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and the December holiday season? That's because the dealership's main goal is: to get you in the door. And its best shot at bringing you in for a visit is when you are off work, during a holiday.
"Lots of deals are marketed around holidays. And they can be good deals," said Levon Sarkissian, Director of Client Services at Roadster.com. "Of course, more often than not, those same deals extend beyond the date of that holiday." In other words, those great holiday specials are available even after the holiday is over.
In fact, the main factor determining whether or not you're going to get a good deal—how motivated the dealership is—has nothing to do with a holiday, the time of the month, or the season.
"You simply have no idea which dealer needs to hit a bonus level or not, or if the specific dealership you visit is incentivized to drop the price or not," said Levon. The holiday car ad sounds exciting, but the real deal happens based on things like lease rates, financing terms, dealership incentives and holdbacks, and mostly the law of supply and demand.
Just like holidays, car shopping at the end of the month or year doesn't ensure that you'll get the best deal. "What's certain is that you'll encounter limited inventory and a high-pressure sales situation," said Levon. He advised buying when it's quiet, before or after the holidays are in full swing, or on a Monday.
No matter when you buy, there's no way to know if the dealership is about to hit its quota for a bonus package. Besides, the bottom line in the car business is that a great deal can happen any day of the week, any time of the year, and any time you're ready to buy. The key is the ability to search across an expansive set of dealers for an exact model, and having a deep understanding of the deal-making process—the core capability and expertise at Roadster.com.
Besides, what are holidays about in the first place? Do you really want to waste a three-day weekend traipsing to different dealerships, haggling over price, and waiting for paperwork at a dealership? Or should you be enjoying the time and much-needed rest with your family—while Roadster.com is doing the hard work of finding the exact model you want, saving you money on the deal, and delivering the car to your house.
Nice Blog! Buying a car can be a stressful experience full of high-pressure sales tactics — but it doesn't have to be. Just as online shopping has changed the way we buy music, books, and so many other things, you can shop online for your new car.

Original developer of Tomb Raider tried to salvage cancelled 10th Anniversary Edition with Indiana Jones and National Treasure pitches
"He chose… poorly."
News by	Wesley Yin-Poole, Deputy Editor
Updated on 7 January 2021
A playable build of the cancelled Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition has been made available online.
Obtained and released by Ash Kaprielov, operator of the Tomb of Ash blog, the Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition build reveals developer Core Design tried to salvage the work done by using it to create Indiana Jones and National Treasure game pitches.
Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition was meant to be the next Tomb Raider game after Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Legend, and was, as you'd expect from the title, designed to come out to coincide with Tomb Raider's 10 year anniversary in 2006. It was initially built for Sony's PSP.
Watch Kaprielov play the build in the video below:
Eurogamer revealed the nature of the game's cancellation - and the impact it had on Core Design - in the in-depth feature, 20 years on, the Tomb Raider story told by the people who were there.
In the early-2000s, as Core tried desperately to stay alive following stagnating sales of Tomb Raider, the studio moved onto a PSP game based on parkour called Free Running. The people at the studio thought they could use the engine they had created for this PSP game to make a Tomb Raider 10th Anniversary game. This would be a remake of the first Tomb Raider game, launched 10 years after its debut on Saturn, PS1 and PC.
Then Core programmer Gavin Rummery pitched the idea to then Core publisher Eidos, but was surprised to find the company lukewarm. Eidos was acquired by SCi in 2005, and Rummery found SCi more receptive to the idea of a 10th Anniversary Tomb Raider. Core got the go-ahead, and work began.
I'll dip back into my Core feature for what happened next:
"In the background, however, SCi executives wanted to cut the number of studios it held, and Core was in the firing line. Crystal Dynamics was reviving the Tomb Raider franchise with the well-received Legend. But at the time, the Californian studio had yet to prove it to the world it had what it took to make Lara Croft great again.
"'They had a lot riding on that, and it was a year late,' Rummery says. 'We were making the Tomb Raider remake, and they suddenly put forward their own demo. It was a basic demo, using a bit of the beginning of the opening scene of Legends running on PSP. I didn't think it was a big deal. I thought, come on, look how much we've got! We've nearly finished on this! I didn't foresee it as a particularly serious threat, and it didn't seem to make a lot of sense because they were going to have to outsource it.
"'But politically it made more sense for them to build it. Their trump card was, hey, we can do 10th anniversary across Xbox 360 and things like that, which we couldn't do at all because we didn't have that kind of capability.
"'So I was told, no, we've decided to go with their version, which obviously went down like a cup of cold sick at our place. And they didn't hit the 10th anniversary. So they had to call it just anniversary. It came out on the 11th anniversary. The only bit I proposed that came to fruition was the idea of doing it in the bloody first place. It was gutting.' "
Core, which had looked to Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition as revitalising its fortunes, never fully recovered from this decision, and in May 2006, Eidos-owner SCi sold off the studio to Rebellion. Core was renamed Rebellion Derby, and set to work on a sequel to Vietnam War-themed first-person shooter ShellShock, called ShellShock 2: Blood Trails. ShellShock 2 did not go well. Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Anniversary eventually came out in June 2007, published by Eidos.
What this new build reveals is Core desperately tried to salvage the work done on Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition by reskinning it for two game pitches: one an Indiana Jones game, the other a National Treasure game.

I checked in with Gavin Rummery, now CTO at Nottingham's Legendary Games, to find out more about this work. Rummery told me that after Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition was canned, Core's new owner, Rebellion, tried to pitch LucasArts on a new Indiana Jones game, so some work was done to reskin Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition for a demo. Unfortunately, LucasArts "didn't bite".
The National Treasure reskin was another failed attempt to salvage something from all the work Core had done. "It was all very speculative, so there was no real game design done for any of these demos," Rummery told me.
I'm humbled, proud and thankful for fans for putting our lost Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition together?.
I want to share the few SFX I did for the game in case they will be useful.

What might have been? Well, Core might have made an Indiana Jones game, which has a nice circle of life sound to it, given Tomb Raider was so heavily inspired by the film. Instead, what was left of Core moved on to 2009's Rogue Warrior, the ill-fated first-person shooter starring a rapping Mickey Rourke. It would go down as one of the worst video games of all time.
Rebellion Derby closed its doors in March 2010, and Core was no more.

The Lanna Art demonstrates the continuation with the art before the Lanna Period or Chiang Saen'. The art in this period started its formation since the time of King Meng Rai the Great, who was the 25th king of the Lao Dynasty in 1261 AD. The city of Nopburi Sri Nakhon Ping Chiang Mai was the capital in 1296 AD. The study in the field of art history reveals that the Lanna Art can be divided into 4 periods. They are 1st Period-the Establishment of the Kingdom (1261-1355 AD), 2nd Period-the Prosperity of the Kingdom (1355-1547 AD), 3rd Period-the Burmese Colonial State (1558-1774 AD) and 4th Period-the Thai Colonial State (1774-1939 AD).
Therefore, the Lanna Art, the northern art of Thailand, is relatively difficult to classify in comparison with the arts from different smaller kingdoms within the Thai Kingdom.
