Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)
“Size
isn't everything. The whale is endangered, while the ant
continues to do just fine.”
“आकार का
इतना अधिक महत्व नहीं होता है। व्हेल मछली का अस्तित्व खतरे में है
जबकि चींटी एक सहज जीवन जी रही है।”
“It is
your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your
altitude.”
“आपकी
उपलब्धियों का निर्धारण आपकी प्रवृति से नहीं अपितु आपके रवैय्ये से
होता है।”
“If
you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign
you're not doing anything very innovative.”
“यदि आप
बार बार नहीं गिर रहे हैं तो इसका अर्थ है कि आप कुछ नया नहीं कर रहे
हैं।”
“The
tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The
tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”
“जीवन की
त्रासदी इस बात में नहीं है कि आप अपने लक्ष्य तक नहीं पहुंचते हैं।
त्रासदी तो इस बात की है कि आपके पास प्राप्त करने के लिए कोई लक्ष्य
नहीं है।”
“Enjoy
the little things, for one Lesson you may look back and realize
they were the big things.”
“छोटी
छोटी बातों में आनन्द खोजना चाहिए, क्योंकि एक दिन ऐसा आएगा जब आप
पिछले जीवन के बारे में सोचेगें तो यह पाएंगे कि वह कितनी बड़ी बातें
थीं।”

Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)
ISO
Stands for
"International Organization for Standardization." Yes,
technically the acronym should be "IOFS," but I guess ISO
sounds better. The ISO works with standards institutes from over
150 countries to develop technology and product standards. These
standards lead to a more efficient, safer, and cleaner development
of products. It also leads to more standardized products for
consumers.
The ISO is important to the computer industry,
since the organization standardizes many of the technologies used
by your computer hardware and software. For example, the ISO 9660
standard defines a file system used by CD-ROM media. CDs formatted
using this standard can be used on any operating system that
supports the ISO 9660 standard, including Windows, Mac, and Unix
systems.
IT
Stands for
"Information Technology," and is pronounced
"I.T." It refers to anything related to computing
technology, such as networking, hardware, software, the Internet,
or the people that work with these technologies. Many companies now
have IT departments for managing the computers, networks, and other
technical areas of their businesses. IT jobs include computer
programming, network administration, computer engineering, Web
development, technical support, and many other related occupations.
Since we live in the "information age," information
technology has become a part of our everyLesson lives. That means
the term "IT," already highly overused, is here to stay.
IVR
Stands for "Interactive Voice
Response." IVR is a telephony technology that can read a
combination of touch tone and voice input. It gives users the
ability to access a database of information via phone. A typical
IVR system has several menus of prerecorded options that the caller
can choose from. While many choices are as basic as choosing a
number, some options may require the caller to speak detailed
information such as his name or account number. This input is read
by the IVR system and is used to access the appropriate information
in the database.
Java
A
network-oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems
specifically designed for creating programs that can be downloaded
to your computer from a web page and immediately run. Using small
Java programs ("applets"), Web pages can include features
such as animations, calculators and other fancy or interactive
tricks.
JDK
(Java Development Kit) - A
software development package from Sun Microsystems containing the
basic tools needed to write, test, and debug Java applications and
applets.
JPG
(Joint Photographic
Experts Group) - The name of the committee that designed the
photographic image-compression standard. The format (.jpg) is
optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale photographic
images, and does not work well for line drawings or black-and-white
images. JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color) graphics.
Jabber
Jabber is an initiative to produce an
open source, XML-based instant messaging platform. Similar to the
Linux and Apache projects, Jabber developers volunteer their time
to work with the code over the Internet. As a result of their
efforts, anyone can download the Jabber client and server for free.
Creator Jeremie Miller first started Jabber.org in 1998.
Jabber operates differently than other proprietary instant
messaging systems and works in a fashion similar to e-mail, using a
distributed architecture. It adds a suffix to each address after
the "@" sign (for instance user@msn) just like an e-mail
addressing system. This enables a Jabber server to read addresses
from different messaging systems and know where they can be found.
Jack Kilby
Jack St.Clair Kilby (1923-2005) is
generally credited with being the inventor of the integrated
circuit (IC). While working at Texas Instruments in the late 1950s,
Kilby discovered a way to make a chip and all its components out of
the same block (monolith) of semiconductor material.
jam
In an Ethernet network, a jam is a signal from
one device to all other devices that a collision has occurred.
Specifically, the device was trying to send a frame while another
device was also trying to put a frame on the line). The jam signal
results in additional collisions in any other frames in process of
being put on the line and warns non-transmitting devices to wait.
Effectively, a jam provides a way to force all devices to restart
any bids to get control of the line.
Jam sync
In audio (sound) production, jam sync is a mode of device
synchronization using SMPTE time code in which a slave device can
furnish its own timing during the time that a master device is
temporarily unstable. Jam sync is usually an optional mode that the
user can select.
In a basic SMPTE synchronization scenario,
time code is fed from one device (the master) to a second device
(the slave). The slave device follows the time locations as
transmitted by the master device. If the master device goes to one
hour and thirteen minutes (expressed as 01:13:00:00;
Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames), the slave device follows it there.
Jamcracker
Jamcracker Services Delivery
Network (JSDN) is a platform for purchasing and managing public and
private cloud computing services. JSDN offers a catalog of cloud
services from their partners and modular APIs that can be used to
develop cloud adapters for new content, web services and
applications.
Java
Java is a
programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed
environment of the Internet. It was designed to have the "look
and feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than
C++ and enforces an object-oriented programming model. Java can be
used to create complete applications that may run on a single
computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network.
It can also be used to build a small application module or applet
for use as part of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web
page user to interact with the page.
JAR file
(Java ARchive)
A JAR (Java ARchive) file is a file that
contains the class, image, and sound files for a Java application
or applet gathered into a single file and possibly compressed. When
a programmer gets a Java program development kit, a small program
or utility called "jar" is included. The jar utility lets
the programmer create, list, or extract the individual files from a
JAR file. In an enterprise, a Java application can be started with
a set of JAR files for use during execution. An off-the-shelf open
source package can be delivered as a JAR file and run with XML
data.
Java Card
Java Card is an open
standard from Sun Microsystems for a smart card development
platform. Smart cards created using the Java Card platform have
Java applets stored on them. The applets can be added to or changed
after the card is issued.
Java chip
The Java chip is a microchip that, when included in or added to a
computer, will accelerate the performance of Java programs
(including the applets that are sometimes included with Web pages).
The special chip can execute all or some of the instructions in the
Java bytecode directly without requiring interpretation by a
software virtual machine.
JavaBeans
JavaBeans is an object-oriented programming interface from Sun
Microsystems that lets you build re-useable applications or program
building blocks called components that can be deployed in a network
on any major operating system platform. Like Java applets,
JavaBeans components (or "Beans") can be used to give
World Wide Web pages (or other applications) interactive
capabilities such as computing interest rates or varying page
content based on user or browser characteristics.
JavaScript
JavaScript is an interpreted programming or script language from
Netscape. It is somewhat similar in capability to
Microsoft'sVisual Basic, Sun's Tcl, the UNIX-derived Perl,
and IBM's REXX. In general, script languages are easier and
faster to code in than the more structured and compiled languages
such as C and C++. Script languages generally take longer to
process than compiled languages, but are very useful for shorter
programs.
Jaz drive
A Jaz drive is a
small, portable hard disk drive used primarily for backing up and
archiving personal computer files. The Jaz drive is sold by Iomega
Corporation, the same company that developed the Zip drive. Both
the Jaz drive and the disks come in two sizes, 1 GB and 2 GB. The
two sizes look similar, but a 2 GB disk is not compatible with a 1
GB Jaz drive. The 2 GB Jaz drive can use both disk sizes. Internal
and external Jaz drives are available. The Jaz drive uses the Small
Computer System Interface (Small Computer System Interface) and
requires a SCSI controller.
Jikes
Jikes is an open source Java compiler from IBM that adheres
strictly to the Java specification and promises an "extremely
fast" compilation. Although Sun Microsystems, the inventor of
Java, offers its own proprietary compiler, IBM's compiler uses
the open source idea, meaning that anyone can acquire IBM's
Jikes source code for free and redistribute it with modifications
(if these adhere to the Java specifications). Jikes is included as
part of several different variations of Linux, including the
popular version from Red Hat.
Jigsaw
Jigsaw is a Web server from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
that is designed for the purpose of demonstrating new Web protocols
and other features. Jigsaw is written in the Java programming
language and made available as open source software. You can
download it from the W3C site in either a UNIX or a Windows 2000
version.
Jive Software
Jive Software
is an enterprise social networking software vendor based in Palo
Alto, California.
The company’s flagship product, the
Jive Social Business Platform, offers a Facebook-like interface
that an organization’s employees can use to brainstorm,
collaborate and share information. Users can communicate with each
other through an instant messaging client, and organizations can
measure the value of these interactions with built-in social media
analytics capabilities.
Jolt
1) On the
Internet, jolt is a denial of service (DoS) attack caused by a very
large ICMP packet that is fragmented in such a way that the
targeted machine is unable to reassemble it for use. Typically, the
machine receiving a jolt packet will freeze up and need to be
rebooted. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you
should install a patch to prevent jolt attacks.
2) Jolt, an
American soft drink that contains the equivalent of two cups of
coffee, has a following with programmers, college students,
Internet surfers, and anyone else who needs to keep awake in the
late night or early morning hours. One of our contributors
describes it as "the fuel on which the Internet is run."
A typical can or bottle of Jolt contains about twice the amount of
caffeine as Pepsi Cola or Coca Cola.
Joliet
Joliet is an extension to ISO 9660, the specification for the file
system (including file names) for the content on a compact disc
(CD); it allows file names up to 64 characters in length (including
spaces) and the use of Unicode characters in file names (sometimes
needed for internationalization). Written by Microsoft, Joliet is
fully supported in Windows 95 and later Windows operating systems
(except Windows NT prior to its version 4). In operating systems
(such as Windows 3.1) that support only eight-character file names,
a longer file name on the CD is truncated into an eight-character
name using a tilde (~) followed by a unique number as the last
characters in the name.
Joost (Venice
Project)
Joost, formerly known as the Venice Project, is an
IPTV service based on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. The purpose of
Joost is to provide on-demand access to all available TV channels,
along with community features and interactivity in a secure
environment. Copyright interests of producers and creators are
protected.
Joystick
In computers, a
joystick is a cursor control device used in computer games and
assistive technology . The joystick, which got its name from the
control stick used by a pilot to control the ailerons and elevators
of an airplane, is a hand-held lever that pivots on one end and
transmits its coordinates to a computer. It often has one or more
push-buttons, called switches, whose position can also be read by
the computer.
Judder
Judder is a
television screen artifact that occurs when content recorded on
film is shown on a television with a 60Hz refresh rate.
The
standard frame rate for film is 24 frames per second (fps). When
you are watching a film on a 60Hz television, software in the TV or
DVD player detects the incoming signal and fills in the missing 36
frames by repeating frames that your eye has already seen. The
problem is that 24 doesn't divide evenly into 60.
Jughead
For most of the 1990s, Jughead was a tool for
searching the information on Gopher sites for particular subjects.
(Gopher was a kind of forerunner of the World Wide Web, which, when
it arrived, rather quickly made the Gopher system superfluous.)
Jughead could also be used to build a searchable menu of a
particular Gopher hierarchy of menus. Jughead was similar to
Veronica , another Gopher search facility. However, it was less
sophisticated and intended for searching a smaller Gopher area. By
2000, however, because most Gopher servers had ceased operation,
Jughead and Veronica were no longer relevant.
Jython
Jython is an open source implementation of the Python programming
language, integrated with the Java platform. A programmer can
compile Python source code to Java bytecode , and run the code on
any Java virtual machine . The integration of Python and Java gives
programmers access to all Java libraries. Developers can create
applet s, use JavaBean s, and also designate the class es of either
language as subclasses within the other. Jython itself is written
in Java and supplemented by the dynamic object-oriented programming
features of Python; it allows Python to run on any Java platform.

Common Mistakes To Be Avoided (आम गलतियों को टाला जा सकता)
Effect and Affect
Two words commonly confused
by English speakers are 'effect' and 'affect'.
‘Affect’ is used as a verb and means ‘to have an
influence on’ and ‘Effect’ is used as a noun and
means ‘the result’.
AFFECT
The dropped
catch did not affect
the result of the game.
The heavy
rainfall affected the
grains kept in the old warehouse.
Did the noise affect
your sleep?
EFFECT
The effect of the
tsunami was devastating.
The side effect of the
cough syrup was drowsiness.
Did the noise
have an effect on your sleep?
Effect is also
used in the expressions ‘in effect’, ‘take
effect’ and ‘come into effect.’
‘In
effect’ means to ‘In fact’ or ‘In
reality’
His silence was
in effect an acceptance of the crime.
‘Take
effect’ means ‘to produce an action’
The medicine
will take effect in an hour.
‘Come into
effect’ means ‘to come into existence’
The news laws come
into effect next month.
English Improving ,Tips of the Lesson (अंग्रेजी में सुधार, दिन की
टिप्स)
Consider Opposing Views
Somewhere
along the line, someone else is going to have views that are
against yours. The best way to conquer this is to include a
paragraph that explains the opposing views and why they are wrong.
Do not use emotions in this section. Emotions can be misconstrued.
People may think you have something personal against the opposing
views or the other options altogether. Write this section using
only facts and reliable proof.
Focus on the Expected Audience
Anytime
you are writing anything, you should keep in mind who will be
reading or hearing your work. You do not want to say something that
may offend people in your audience. Since this example is for
school, the essay will be read by a very diverse group of adults
and even children, so you do not want to say something about being
able to have alcohol at the block party. Include topics that
resonate with everyone in your expected audience.
Have Confidence in Your Point of
View
Be
confident in your opinion and show that you are sure you are right.
If you cannot convince yourself that your point of view is the
right one, you cannot expect to persuade others. Fear of speaking
in front of others can hinder the message you are trying to convey.
Your confidence or fear will show, no matter how well you may think
you are hiding it. Use an authoritative tone of voice and avoid
words like "might" or "maybe" because they
convey that you are not completely sure of your topic.
Advertisements telling you to buy something, family members
or friends asking for favors, movie trailers, or a speech from a
politician are examples of persuasion. There are even occupations
that are based on persuading others, including lawyers, reporters,
and marketers. It is likely that throughout your life, you will
have to persuade people that something is the proper option.
Keeping the above tips in mind will assist you whenever you need to
craft a persuasive argument.
Using the Indicative Mood
When
you are writing in English, it is important to use the correct mood
when using verbs. The moods of the sentence convey the attitude of
the person speaking the sentence. The most common mood used in
English is the indicative mood. Use the tips below to identify when
to use the indicative mood in your own writing.
Ignore the Tense
When
you are trying to decide whether to use the indicative mood in your
writing, you should ignore the tense of the sentence you are
writing. It does not matter whether your sentence refers to the
past, the present, or the future. The only thing that does matter
is the attitude of the speaker in the sentence and what you are
trying to convey. Therefore, when choosing the indicative mood,
focus only on what you are communicating in the sentence.
