Quote of the Lesson (दिन के उद्धरण)

“Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that are forever blowing through one's mind.”

“जीवन मुख्य रुप से अथवा मोटे तौर पर तथ्यों और घटनाओं पर आधारित नहीं है। यह मुख्यतः व्यक्ति के दिलोदिमाग में निरन्तर उठने वाले विचारों के तूफानों पर आधारित होता है।”

“One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 Lessons, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.”

“एक व्यक्ति 30 मिनट के लिए उत्साही होता है, दूसरा 30 दिनों के लिए, लेकिन वह व्यक्ति जो 30 वर्षों तक उत्साही रहता है, उसे ही जीवन में सफलता प्राप्त होती है।”

“A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.”

“प्रेम करने वाला व्यक्ति प्रेम की दुनिया में रहता है। झगड़ालू व्यक्ति युद्ध जैसी दुनिया में रहता है। प्रत्येक व्यक्ति जिससे आप मिलते हैं, उसमें आपकी ही छवि होती है।”

“Two men look out through the same bars; one sees the mud and the other one the stars.”

“दो व्यक्तियों ने एक ही सलाखों से बाहर झांका, एक को कीचड़ दिखाई देता है, दूसरे को तारे दिखाई देते हैं।”

“I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.”

“मैंने यह पाया है कि यदि आप जिंदगी को प्यार करते हैं, तो जिंदगी भी आपको प्यार करती है।”

Technical word (तकनीकी शब्द)

warm boot
To perform warm boot (also called a "soft boot") means to restart a computer. It is often used in contrast to a cold boot, which refers to starting up a computer that is turned off.
A warm boot is typically initiated from the operating system, rather than pressing a button on the computer itself. For example, to perform a warm boot on a Windows system, you may select Shut Down → Restart from the Start Menu. In Windows 8, you can open the Charms bar and select Settings → Power → Restart to reboot the computer. If you use a Mac, you can perform a warm boot by selecting Restart… from the Apple Menu.

Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between two identical adjacent points in a wave. It is typically measured between two easily identifiable points, such as two adjacent crests or troughs in a waveform. While wavelengths can be calculated for many types of waves, they are most accurately measured in sinusoidal waves, which have a smooth and repetitive oscillation.

WEP
Stands for "Wired Equivalent Privacy." WEP is a security protocol for Wi-Fi networks. Since wireless networks transmit data over radio waves, it is easy to intercept data or "eavesdrop" on wireless data transmissions. The goal of WEP is to make wireless networks as secure as wired networks, such as those connected by Ethernet cables.

White balance
White balance is a feature many digital cameras and video cameras use to accurately balance color. It defines what the color white looks like in specific lighting conditions, which also affects the hue of all other colors. Therefore, when the white balance is off, digital photos and recordings may appear to have a certain hue cast over the image. For example, fluorescent lights may cause images to have a greenish hue, while pictures taken on a cloudy Lesson may have a blue tint.
Since different types of lighting affect the way a camera's sensor captures color, most digital cameras and camcorders include an auto white balance (AWB) setting. The AWB setting automatically adjusts the white balance when capturing a photo or recording video. However, this setting may not always provide the most accurate color. Therefore, many cameras and camcorders also include preset white balance settings for different lighting conditions. Common options include fluorescent light, tungsten light (for typical indoor lighting), cloudy conditions, bright sunlight, and camera flash. By choosing the appropriate white balance preset, you may be able to capture pictures with more accurate color.

White Paper
This term has historically been used to describe a report that states the social or political position of an organization. In recent years, however, the IT industry has adopted the term to describe articles that explain a certain technology or product. For example, a company may release a white paper to the public in order to educate consumers about one of their products. The terminology used may be somewhat technical, but the goal of a white paper is usually to describe the technology or product in terms most people can understand. That way nerds don't get to have all the fun each time a new technology is invented.

whitelist
A whitelist is a list of items that are granted access to a certain system or protocol. When a whitelist is used, all entities are denied access, except those included in the whitelist. The opposite of a whitelist is a blacklist, which allows access from all items, except those included the list.

Wi-Fi
Short for "Wireless Fidelity." Wi-Fi refers to wireless networking technology that allows computers and other devices to communicate over a wireless signal. It describes all network components that are based on one of the 802.11 standards, including 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. These standards were developed by the IEEE and adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which trademarked the name "Wi-Fi".
Wi-Fi is the standard way computers connect to wireless networks. Nearly all computers now have built-in Wi-Fi cards that allows users to search for and connect to wireless routers. Many mobile devices, video game systems, and other standalone devices also include Wi-Fi capability, enabling them to connect to wireless networks as well. These devices may be able to connect to the Internet using a Wi-Fi signal. However, it is important to understand that the Wi-Fi connection only exists between the device and the router. Most routers are connected to a DSL or cable modem, which provides Internet access to all connected devices.

wildcard
In computing, a wildcard refers to a character that can be substituted for zero or more characters in a string. Wildcards are commonly used in computer programming, database SQL search queries, and when navigating through DOS or Unix directories via the command prompt.

wired
In computing terminology, the term "wired" is used to differentiate between wireless connections and those that involve cables. While wireless devices communicate over the air, a wired setup uses physical cables to transfer data between different devices and computer systems.
A wired network is a common type of wired configuration. Most wired networks use Ethernet cables to transfer data between connected PCs. In a small wired network, a single router may be used to connect all the computers. Larger networks often involve multiple routers or switches that connect to each other. One of these devices typically connects to a cable modem, T1 line, or other type of Internet connection that provides Internet access to all devices connected to the network.

WPA
Stands for "Wi-Fi Protected Access." WPA is a security protocol designed to create secure wireless (Wi-Fi) networks. It is similar to the WEP protocol, but offers improvements in the way it handles security keys and the way users are authorized.
For an encrypted data transfer to work, both systems on the beginning and end of a data transfer must use the same encryption/decryption key. While WEP provides each authorized system with the same key, WPA uses the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP), which dynamically changes the key that the systems use. This prevents intruders from creating their own encryption key to match the one used by the secure network.

Yacc
Yacc (for "yet another compiler compiler." ) is the standard parser generator for the Unix operating system. An open source program, yacc generates code for the parser in the C programming language. The acronym is usually rendered in lowercase but is occasionally seen as YACC or Yacc. The original version of yacc was written by Stephen Johnson at American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T). Versions of yacc have since been written for use with Ada, Java and several other less well-known programming languages.

Yagi antenna
A Yagi antenna, also known as a Yagi-Uda array or simply a Yagi, is a directional antenna commonly used in communications when a frequency is above 10 MHz. This type of antenna is popular among Amateur Radio and Citizens Band radio operators. It is used at some surface installations in satellite communications systems.
A basic Yagi consists of two or three straight elements, each measuring approximately1/2 electrical wavelengths. The antenna can be balanced or unbalanced. The Yagi is inherently a balanced antenna, but it can be fed with coaxial cable and a device called a balunat the point where the feed line joins the driven element.

Yahoo
Yahoo! is an Internet portal that incorporates a search engine and a directory of World Wide Web sites organized in a hierarchy of topic categories. As a directory, it provides both new and seasoned Web users the reassurance of a structured view of hundreds of thousands of Web sites and millions of Web pages. It also provides one of the best ways to search the Web for a given topic. Since Yahoo is associated with the most popular Web search sites, if a search argument doesn't lead to a Yahoo topic page, it will still lead to results from the six or seven popular search engine sites Yahoo links to.

Yak shaving
Yak shaving is programming lingo for the seemingly endless series of small tasks that have to be completed before the next step in a project can move forward. Gilden Yak Shaving Lesson, a parody of Christmas, is a fictional holiLesson celebrated by cartoon characters Ren & Stimpy on the Nickelodeon channel. The term as it applies to programming was coined by Dr. Carlin Vieri.

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

Threw Through

Confusion regarding the use of ‘threw’ and ‘through’ arises from the fact that they are homophones, ie, they are pronounced the same way. As a result, it is quite possible for one to be mistakenly used in place of the other. However, there is no similarity in their meanings:

• ‘Threw’ is the simple past tense of ‘throw’, when the latter is used as a verb.

  • meaning(s): to hurl or cast something from the hand or to project one’s voice. He threw the ball at the stumps, looking to run the batsman out.

• ‘Through’ is generally used as a preposition. Meaning, in brief:

  • to get into something from one end or side and come out the other. Example - The sunlight coming through the window woke me up.

  • to travel over or across or in something. Example - The plane hurtled through the air at supersonic speed.

  • to go past or beyond something. Example -The fugitives went through three red lights before the cops finally caught up with them.

  • to go from one to another of, or between or among individual members of something. Example -Tarzan swung through the trees like the forest was his natural habitat; The World Cup may have passed through many hands, but it is now India’s.

Writing Tips

Writing online has become a common way for new journalists and writers to expose their writing to the public. Online newspapers, magazines, and content farms will hire writers and journalists, often requiring less professional experience than is required for newsroom positions. If you are unable to get hired by a company, there is the option of starting your own blog and writing about topics of your choice. Free blogging sites like Wordpress are a good option for a novice blog writer. However, if you want to be successful writing online, you must not just write whatever comes to mind. Below are several online writing tips you must follow in order to have success.

Reference Reputable Sources

Even though you do not have to include a formal bibliography or in-text citations unless your employer asks you to, do not write your own opinions without backing them up. If you put forth opinions, find a couple of Web sites offering facts that support your point of view and provide a link to them, either within the text of your article or at the end of the article. If you want to make reference to a source that isn't available online, at least mention the author and the title of the work you consulted within the body of your article.

Be Brief and Get to the Point

People often browse the Internet when they have time to kill, reading a few news sites or blogs for 10 minutes before going on their lunch break. Therefore, they are likely to skim a few articles without paying extremely close attention to any of them. In order to catch a reader's attention, you must mention the main point of your piece of writing at the beginning of the article. Make sure you cover all the important details of your topic in the first few paragraphs, as it is likely that some of your readers will not continue on to the end of your piece. Unless you're writing for an academic journal, make sure your pieces aren't longer than 2,000 words.

Use Attractive Formatting

Make your article as eye-catching as possible by paying attention to font style and size, color, and paragraph structure. A font in a dark color that is easy to read, such as Arial or Times New Roman, is best. Avoid fonts like Lucida Calligraphy. Do not write in a font smaller than 12 point. Short paragraphs are also best as often readers' attention will wander if they are forced to read an incredibly long paragraph.

Develop Original Ideas

A lot of writing on the Internet is paraphrased from other sources. Do not fall into the trap of summarizing other sources without adding your own contributions, unless you are specifically asked by an employer to write a summary. If you do not know enough about a topic to write an original article, consider writing about a different topic, or speaking with people who have close connections with that topic before writing. If you write generic, paraphrased content, your writing will not be noticed or remembered.
