Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)
“Above
all, challenge yourself. You may well surprise yourself at what
strengths you have, what you can accomplish.”
“सबसे
बड़ी बात है कि स्वयं को चुनौती दें। आप स्वयं पर हैरान होंगे कि आप
में इतना बल या सामर्थ्य है, तथा आप इतना कुछ कर सकते हैं।”
“Life is
not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have
perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must
believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must
be attained.”
“हममें से
जीवन किसी के लिए भी सरल नहीं है। लेकिन इससे क्या? हम में अडिगता
होनी चाहिए तथा इससे भी अधिक अपने में विश्वास होना चाहिए। हमें यह
विश्वास होना चाहिए कि हम सभी में कुछ न कुछ विशेषता है तथा इसे
अवश्य ही प्राप्त किया जाना चाहिए।”
“There
are no great people in this world, only great challenges which
ordinary people rise to meet.”
“इस
दुनिया में कोई भी महान व्यक्ति नहीं है, केवल महान चुनौतियां ही
हैं, जिनका सामान्य व्यक्ति उठ कर सामना करते हैं।”
“Each
morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have
the power to make me happy or unhappy toLesson. I can choose which
it shall be. YesterLesson is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived
yet. I have just one Lesson, toLesson, and I'm going to be
happy in it.”
“हर सुबह
जब मैं अपनी आंखे खोलता हूं तो अपने आप से कहता हूं कि आज मुझमें
स्वयं को खुश या उदास रखने का सामर्थ्य है न कि घटनाओं में। मैं इस
बात को चुन सकता हूं कि यह क्या होगी। कल तो जा चुका है, कल अभी आया
नहीं है। मेरे पास केवल एक दिन है, आज तथा मैं दिन भर प्रसन्न
रहूंगा।”
“To live
only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the
mountain that sustain life, not the top.”
“अल्पकालिक भावी लक्ष्य के लिए जिंदगी जीना एक साधारण बात है।
पर्वत की ढलान ही दीर्घकाल तक बनी रहती हैं न कि उसकी चोटी।”

Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)
Kilobyte
A
thousand (technically, 2^10 or 1024) bytes.
LAN
(Local Area Network) - A computer network restricted to a limited
area, usually the same building or a floor of a building. Office
computers are typically connected to a LAN.
Leased-line
Refers to a telephone line that is rented for an exclusive 24-hour,
7-Lessons-a-week connection from your location to the Internet. The
highest speed data connections require a leased line.
List server
The most common kind of mailing list.
List servers originated on BITNET, but are now common on the
Internet.
Lurking
To read through
mailing lists or newsgroups and get a feel of the topic before
posting your own messages. It is considered good netiquette to
"lurk" a while before joining an online discussion.
Leaf
What does a computer's hard disk
have in common with a tall oak? While it may not look like a tree
on the outside, the hard disk is organized the same way.
Directories of files and folders on a hard drive are organized into
branches, where each directory is a branch with files and folders.
Folders make up the branches, while files are the leaves. Therefore
a leaf is a file within a directory on your hard drive.
Technically speaking, a leaf is a node on a tree with no child
nodes. Because files cannot have child nodes like folders can, they
are always leafs. When referring to a tree structure, a leaf can
also be called a leaf node.
Left-Click
A left-click involves clicking the left mouse button. Typically,
"left-clicking" means the same thing as just
"clicking" since the left mouse button is the primary
button by default. The term "left-click" is most often
used in contrast to "right-click," which involves
clicking the secondary button on the right side of the mouse.
Left-clicking is used for many common computer tasks, such as
selecting objects, opening hyperlinks, and closing windows.
Clicking and holding the left mouse button can be used to select
text or perform drag and drop operations. In video games,
left-clicking is typically used to perform the primary action, such
as moving a character or firing a weapon.
For right-handed
users, the left-click is the most natural click, since it is done
with the index finger. For people that use a mouse with their left
hand, it is a bit less natural since left-clicking is done with the
middle finger and the index finger is used for right-clicking.
Therefore, Mac OS X and Windows allow you to switch the primary
mouse button from left to right.
LIFO
Stands for "Last In, First Out." LIFO is a method of
processing data in which the last items entered are the first to be
removed. This is the opposite of LIFO is FIFO (First In, First
Out), in which items are removed in the order they have been
entered.
To better understand LIFO, imagine stacking a deck
of cards by placing one card on top of the other, starting from the
bottom. Once the deck has been fully stacked, you begin to remove
the cards, starting from the top. This process is an example of the
LIFO method, because the last cards to be placed on the deck are
the first ones to be removed.
The LIFO method is sometimes
used by computers when extracting data from an array or data
buffer. When a program needs to access the most recent information
entered, it will use the LIFO method. When information needs to be
retrieved in the order it was entered, the FIFO method is used.
Load Balancing
Computer networks are complex
systems, often routing hundreds, thousands, or even millions of
data packets every second. Therefore, in order for networks to
handle large amounts of data, it is important that the data is
routed efficiently. For example, if there are ten routers within a
network and two of them are doing 95% of the work, the network is
not running very efficiently. The network would run much faster if
each router was handling about 10% of the traffic. Likewise, if a
website gets thousands of hits every second, it is more efficient
to split the traffic between multiple Web servers than to rely on a
single server to handle the full load.
Load balancing helps
make networks more efficient. It distributes the processing and
traffic evenly across a network, making sure no single device is
overwhelmed. Web servers, as in the example above, often use load
balancing to evenly split the traffic load among several different
servers. This allows them to use the available bandwidth more
effectively, and therefore provides faster access to the websites
they host.
Localhost
"Localhost" refers to the local computer that a program
is running on. For example, if you are running a Web browser on
your computer, your computer is considered to be the
"localhost." While this does not need to be specified
when using a single computer, the localhost does need to be defined
when running programs from multiple computers. For example, a
network administrator might use his local machine to start a Web
server on one system and use a remote access program on another.
These programs would run from computers other than the localhost.
In the example above, the two non-local computers must be defined
by their IP addresses. The local machine is defined as
"localhost," which gives it an IP address of 127.0.0.1.
This is considered a "loopback" address because the
information sent to it is routed back to the local machine.
Localhost is often used in Web scripting languages like PHP and ASP
when defining what server the code should run from or where a
database is located.

Common Mistakes To Be Avoided (आम गलतियों को टाला जा सकता)
Elicit Illicit
‘Elicit’ and
‘illicit’ are homophones, but they have different
spellings and meanings and one must be careful about using them.
On the one hand,
‘elicit’ means to draw something out of someone, by
coaxing or pleading or urging. For example, the sentence - His
father was unable to elicit a response from him on the matter
means that the father could not extract the information that he
desired from his son.
On the other hand,
‘illicit’ means illegal, or forbidden. Examples:
Theirs was an illicit relationship because their parents were
opposed to inter-caste marriages, or He was thrown into prison for
smuggling illicit weapons into the country.
English Improving ,Tips of the Lesson (अंग्रेजी में सुधार, दिन की
टिप्स)
Learn New Words
Learning
new words can be tricky. As people get older, their vocabulary can
seem to solidify, rarely accepting new words into regular use. Yet
by just adopting a few simple tasks, you can build your vocabulary
very quickly. So if you are looking to learn new words, here are
some tips and tricks that will help you get there.
Read
Read
anything and everything, but most of all, read what you enjoy. If
you find it difficult to get immersed in long novels, then stick to
magazines, newspapers, or even comic books. Each person's
vocabulary is unique, so you never know where you will find a word
that is new to you. By reading regularly, you will be able to
discover new words, and see these words repeated. It is through
this repetition that the meaning of the word can stick, possibly
becoming a part of your writing or speaking vocabulary.
Listen
You
never know when you are going to hear a new word. Every Lesson
conversations, films, and television shows can all teach you new
words. Make sure that you are always engaged in any conversations
you have. This will ensure that you are hearing each word and
understanding its context. Keep a notepad handy to jot down any new
words that you hear during the Lesson. Then you can take the time
to really learn them and commit them to memory later.
Look It Up
As
you read and listen, take note of words that you see and hear that
you do not know the meaning of. If it is a word in a book, circle
it, or if you are hearing it in a conversation or film, write it
down. You can then look up the words in a dictionary later. Be sure
to read the entire entry. Take the time to truly understand the
definition and the ways in which the word can be used. After you
understand the new word, make an effort to use it in the coming
Lessons, whether that be in conversations or writing.
Practice Your Context Skills
When
you hear new words in your conversations, television shows, or
movies, you may forget to take note of them to look it up later.
This is when it helps to have acute context skills. This is the
ability to figure out a word's meaning based upon its usage. So
when you hear a new word said, consider the whole sentence or idea.
This context that the word was used in should help you to figure
out what that word means, hopefully allowing you to add it to your
vocabulary.
