Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)

    “The greatest mistake you can make in this life is to continually fear you will make one.”

    “आप इस जीवन में सबसे बड़ी गलती यह कर सकते हैं कि आप निरन्तर इस बात को लेकर डरते रहें कि आप कोई गलती कर देंगे।”

    “You never fail until you stop trying.”

    “असफलता प्रयास बन्द कर देने का परिणाम होती है।”

    “Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.”

    “चुनौतियों को स्वीकार करें, ताकि आप विजय के हर्ष का आनन्द महसूस कर सकें।”

    “Anger blows out the candle of the mind.”

    “गुस्से से ज्ञान का प्रकाश बुझ जाता है।”

    “It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”

    “जीवन के बारे में एक मजेदार बात यह है कि यदि आप सर्वश्रेष्ठ वस्तु से कुछ भी कम स्वीकार करने से इंकार करते हैं तो अकसर आप उसको प्राप्त कर ही लेते हैं।”

Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)

Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a way for the Windows operating system to run with the minimum system files necessary. It uses a generic VGA display driver instead of the vendor-specific driver, which means you will likely be working with only 16 colors in a resolution of 640x480. Safe Mode also turns off all third-party drivers for other peripherals such as mice, keyboards, printers, and scanners. In basic Safe Mode, networking files and settings are not loaded, meaning you won't be able to connect to the Internet or other computers on a network.

Samba
Most people know of samba as a type of rhythmic dance music from Brazil that uses a 2/4 time signature. In the computer world, samba has a different meaning but is no less exciting (if you are a computer nerd).

Samba is an open-source software implementation of the SMB networking protocol used by Windows computers. (If you look closely, you can see the correlation between the two names.) Samba allows other computer platforms, such as Mac OS X, Unix, Linux, IBM System 390, and OpenVMS to interact with Windows computers on the same network.

Skyscraper
While not as common as the banner ad, the skyscraper is another prevalent form of Web advertising. Skyscraper ads, which are tall and narrow, get their name from the tall buildings you often see in big cities. They are typically placed to the left or right of the main content on the page, which allows all or part of the ad to be visible even as the user scrolls down the window.

Sample
A sample is a digital representation of an analog signal. Both digital video and digital audio files are created using samples. The quality of the sample is determined by the sampling rate, or the bit rate the signal is sampled at.

What we see and hear in the real world is in analog format (our bodies process analog information). Computers, on the other hand, can only understand digital information. Therefore, audio and video signals must be converted to a digital format in order to be stored on a computer or saved to a CD or DVD. The converted data is called a sample.

Sampling
Before digital recording took over the audio and video industries, everything was recorded in analog. Audio was recorded to devices like cassette tapes and records. Video was recorded to Beta and VHS tapes. The media was even edited in analog format, using multichannel audio tapes (such as 8-tracks) for music, and film reels for video recordings. This method involved a lot of rewinding and fast-forwarding, which resulted in a time-consuming process.

SAN
Stands for "Storage Area Network." A SAN is a network of storage devices that can be accessed by multiple computers. Each computer on the network can access hard drives in the SAN as if they were local disks connected directly to the computer. This allows individual hard drives to be used by multiple computers, making it easy to share information between different machines.

While a single server can provide a shared hard drive to multiple machines, large networks may require more storage than a single server can offer. For example, a large business may have several terabytes of data that needs to be accessible by multiple machines on a local area network (LAN). In this situation, a SAN could be setup instead of adding additional servers. Since only hard drives need to be added instead of complete computer systems, SANs are an efficient way to increase network storage.

SATA
Stands for "Serial Advanced Technology Attachment," or "Serial ATA." It is an interface used to connect ATA hard drives to a computer's motherboard. SATA transfer rates start at 150MBps, which is significantly faster than even the fastest 100MBps ATA/100 drives. For this and other reasons, Serial ATA is likely to replace the previous standard, Parallel ATA (PATA), which has been around since the 1980s.

Scalable
Scalable hardware or software can expand to support increasing workloads. This capability allows computer equipment and software programs to grow over time, rather than needing to be replaced.

Scalable hardware may refer to a single computer system, a large network of computers, or other computer equipment. The scalability of a single computer, such as a workstation, depends on how expandable the computer is. In this context, the words "scalable," "expandable," and "upgradable" may be used interchangeably.

Scanner
A scanner is an input device that scans documents such as photographs and pages of text. When a document is scanned, it is converted into a digital format. This creates an electronic version of the document that can be viewed and edited on a computer.

Most scanners are flatbed devices, which means they have a flat scanning surface. This is ideal for photographs, magazines, and various documents. Most flatbed scanners have a cover that lifts up so that books and other bulky objects can also be scanned. Another type of scanner is a sheet-fed scanner, which can only accept paper documents. While sheet-fed scanners cannot scan books, some models include an automatic document feeder, or ADF, which allows multiple pages to be scanned in sequence.

Common Mistakes To Be Avoided (आम गलतियों को टाला जा सकता)

Principle Principal

‘Principle’ and ‘principle’ are often confused but do not, in fact, share any meanings.

‘Principle’ is only a noun and usually refers to a rule or standard. ‘The principles of socialism’, for example, refers to the tenets of the socialist ideology. ‘My principles prevent me from taking such petty action’ suggests that the speaker’s moral/ethical stand is against the action being spoken of.

‘Principal’, on the other hand, is both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, it has special financial and legal connotations, but in general usage it refers to someone who holds a high position or is important in a certain context: ‘a meeting of all the principals involved in the deal’. As an adjective it has the sense of ‘most important’: ‘My principal concern is to get my health back’.

English Improving ,Tips of the Lesson (अंग्रेजी में सुधार, दिन की टिप्स)

Concrete Words are More Specific

Following the trend of showing and not telling during a written work, use concrete words to be more specific in your writing. Instead of writing "the boy ate ice cream," try using more concrete words to create the sensation of tasting the ice cream for readers. "The boy ate a bowl of peanut butter double chocolate ice cream with colored sprinkles," is a specific type of ice cream defined by concrete words, which creates a more vivid image for the reader.

Concrete Words Do Not Change

The benefit of using concrete words is that perceptions of these words do not often change over time, as people grow older. While it is still important to use abstract words, concrete words allow writers to create for a wide age range, if they desire. While a word like "love" changes greatly throughout a person's life, the words "car" or "cold" do not change. The idea of a car may be simpler for a child than an adult, but they both know that a car is an object that moves and takes people places. Take advantage of this fact when writing for different ages. 

Writers have a plethora of words to choose from, and two types of these words are concrete and abstract. There are many benefits of using concrete words, as they increase your ability to write for a wide audience and to be specific and engaging. Abstract words are necessary in life and in writing, but, as a writer, be sure to also use concrete words to show your story through writing, not just tell it. Using these tips can help help you grow in your writing and English skills, and to better understand how readers see a piece of work.

Ambiguous in a Sentence

The word "ambiguous" is commonly used in the English language. It is a fitting word to use in almost any context, as it is common enough for people to understand in everyLesson conversation and formal enough to be used in a research paper or other professional writing. Using "ambiguous" correctly, however, involves going beyond its surface meaning and being able to use the word in all of its aspects. For this reason, it is important to learn the many ways that the word "ambiguous" can be used in a sentence. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "ambiguous" refers to something that is unclear, doubtful, or inexact. What is more, the word can be used as an adjective (its most common usage), a noun, a verb, or an adverb. The following sentences will show you how to form a correct sentence for "ambiguous" in each of its forms.

Ambiguous as a Noun

The noun form of "ambiguous" is "ambiguity," which is often used, but not as much as its adjectival counterpart. "Ambiguity" refers to the state of being ambiguous, doubtful, or unclear. This word is actually very easy to use in a sentence. For instance, the following are examples of its many uses: "In the end, what makes Dostoevsky such a great novelist is the ambiguity that he presents to the reader," or, "Stephen always felt that there was far too much ambiguity in his workplace. What frustrated him the most was a lack of clear communication and a uniform direction for getting things done."
