Your CV is your marketing brochure through which you try to sell a commodity, ie your skills to the potential buyer ie the prospective employer. The sole purpose of your CV is to fetch you an interview call. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, creating a CV isn't as simple as just using flowery language and pretty fonts. There are certain things that put recruiters off and if you want to make a good impression, make sure you do not commit these mistakes in what is arguably the most valuable document of your job hunt.
While the rules listed are well-founded, they are not carved in stone. At times you will need to break the rules. If you want to add these things knowingly and purposefully to your CV we advise you to do that.
The points mentioned here are not listed in the order of priority; instead they are listed in the sequence in which they usually appear on a CV.
~ Colorful or glossy paper and flashy fonts
Your CV is a formal, official document. Keep it simple.
~ Resume or CV at the top
Many people tend to add headings to their CV. The usual are CV, Curriculum Vitae and Resume. Do not do this.
~ Photographs until asked
Do not add your photo to the CV until you have been asked for it. Photographs are required only for certain types of positions like models, actors etc.
~ Usage of 'I', 'My', 'He', 'She'
Do not use these in your CV. Many candidates write, 'I worked as Team Leader for XYZ Company' or 'He was awarded Best Employee for the year 2007'. Instead use bullet points to list out your qualifications/ experience like: Team leader for XYZ Company from 2006-2007.
~ Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
Proofread your CV until you are confident that it doesn't have any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. These are big put-offs for the recruiters. Moreover, sometimes these mistakes might land you in an embarrassing situation.
A candidate who submitted his CV without proofreading it committed the mistake of wrongly spelling 'ask' as 'ass'. Now you can imagine the type of embarrassment he must have faced during the interview, when the interviewer pointed it out. These mistakes tend to convey a lazy and careless attitude to the interviewer.
~ Lies about your candidature
Do not lie about your past jobs or qualifications or anything which might have an impact on the job. You may be able to secure a job with these lies today but tomorrow you may lose it as well.
~ Abbreviations or jargon that is difficult to understand
People screening your resume usually belong to the HR department. If they do not understand what the abbreviations and jargon mean, they will simply dump your CV in the trash can. Avoid over-using such terms as far as possible.
~ Reasons for leaving last job
Leave these reasons to be discussed during the personal interview. For example, some candidates write: Reason for leaving the last job: Made redundant. Avoid making such statements in your CV, they add no value. Besides, if you do get an interview call, chances are the interviewer will address the issue.
~ Past failures or health problems
Mentioning these immediately slash your chances of getting an interview call.
For instance, you have a gap in your employment because you started your own business which did not do well. Some candidates might write -- Reason for gap in employment: Started own business which failed. Do not do this type of injustice with your job hunt at this stage of writing the CV.
~ Current or expected salary
Leave it to be discussed while negotiating the salary.
~ Irrelevant details
Leave out the details like marital status, sex, passport number, number of kids, age of kids. These are usually irrelevant for most interviewers but at times could be used as a basis for discrimination.
~ References
Do not include them until asked. In fact, it is not even required to mention the line 'Reference available on request'. If the recruiter requires a reference, he/she will ask you to bring it along for the interview.
Now that you have run through the list, take a fresh look at your CV and prune away unnecessary details and unaffordable blunders that could have cost you your dream job.

8 things to make an impressive CV..
In the article 12 things your CV should not have we discussed the common errors applicants make when drafting their CVs or resumes. Following the article we received a large number of queries from readers, asking what information should they include in their CV, to make it impressive.
This article is an attempt to help the readers design an impressive and user-friendly CV. If you ensure that you include this information in your CV, the chances of it meeting the interviewer's expectations are increased.
~ Begin with name and contact details
Make this information available at the beginning of your CV. This should include your postal address, phone number (preferably mobile number) and e-mail address (only one). If a company wants to call you for an interview or needs to communicate with you for any further information, they will look out for this information. If it is buried somewhere inside the CV it will not only put them off but also reduce their chances of contacting you.
~ Write an appealing career summary
This is your chance to bring forward relevant strengths and skills to the recruiter. Everything in your CV should support your Career Summary. If there's anything that doesn't support your Career Summary, you should reconsider listing it.
You should write your Career Summary around your skills, attitude, knowledge and experience. There are two schools of thought on writing the career statement.
Some people think that it should be a short 30-40 word paragraph while others give it liberty to be covered in 4-5 bulleted points. Whatever you decide on, ensure that everything relevant that you want to sell to the prospective employer is covered here. At the same time, it should not become nauseating.
~ Focus on your work experience, responsibilities and achievements
If you are an experienced candidate, your work experience is your main asset. Include the details of the relevant jobs you have done in the past. You should present your work experience in a chronologically descending order ie the last company first.
This should include the name of the company, your designation and tenure followed by your job responsibilities and achievements. It is always better to present this information in bulleted format rather than a clumsy paragraph. Mention some figures when you talk about your achievements.
For example:
Worked as Business Development Manager for XYZ Company from June 2000 to January 2004.
Job responsibilities:
* Setting up 7 franchisees across 4 countries
* Maximising the business from existing customers to the tune of $ 200,000
~ Your next asset is your educational qualification
Educational qualifications play an important role in the recruitment of freshers. If you are a fresh candidate, focus your CV on your qualifications and achievements during your student life.
~ Write about your out-of-work achievements, interests and hobbies
These reflect your personality and skills. Present the relevant achievements in the order of priority ie the most important achievement first. Similarly, present your interests as well. Write about the achievements that display a facet of your personality. For example, if you have been the president of your college, do mention it. It shows your leadership skills.
~ Write short sentences with more impactful words
Lengthy CVs put the recruiter off. Keep the sentences short and use words that demonstrate your hold of the situation like managed, arranged, supervised etc.
~ Formal font faces
A font like Verdana-10 should be good for the content while the Name at the top can be written in Verdana-12, with a bold font face.
~ Use the same tense through out the CV.
Changing the tense in every second line leaves the reader confused and annoyed.
Now, put together both the articles ie 12 things your CV should not have and 8 things to make an impressive CV. Draft and re-draft your CV keeping the points mentioned, till you are satisfied that you have presented the facts in the most impressive and convincing way.

How to Increase the Love in your Life Right Now
How to Increase the Love in your Life Right Now
By Ramesh.J
http://www.EnlightenedBeings.com
So many of us spend our time hoping, wishing, planning and scheming for our lives to be different than what they already are. We have used countless hours trying to create situations other than the one that we have, and end up missing the life in front our noses today. Of course there will always be room for improvement, yet when it comes down to being happy and having a vibration that manifests our dreams easily, it is absolutely necessary to love our life and ourselves exactly as they are. Loving whatever is present in your life today is one of the greatest secrets to manifesting more goodies, wealth and juicier experiences. It is the love that we let in right now, for that which is already occurring, that sends out a super positive vibration into the world. This is what uplifts and inspires you to attract more of what you want. If you are resisting what is happ ening in your life, you are in fact resisting the Universe, and you will just manifest more situations to resist. It is actually a lot easier to accept what is, and learn how to love what is because at your core you are love itself! Deep down your soul already is love and is in love with what is. When you open yourself up to this possibility, you start to realize that the challenges you’re facing are exactly what your soul needs to submerge itself deeper into this precious love.
Here are 3 easy steps you can take today to start loving the life you have:
1. Always include seeing that silver lining in the clouds of your life.
Often when we’ve been hurt or wounded in relationships we can give up on love. We may have a sarcastic, negative and condemning attitude towards the thought of thinking positive about our life and yet don’t realize that we’re living in a very dark dismal cloudy mindset. Especially when things appear to be tumultuously dark in your life, there is always a beautiful silver lining that accompanies each cloudy experience. There is always something that you can appreciate or be grateful for in every situation. Take a moment right now, and write down 10 reasons why your life is already amazing, and something that you can love. It helps the mind to stop focusing on what it is complaining about and wanting to change. This simple practice may take 5 minutes, yet we guarantee you will feel lighter and more uplifted inside. Every time you refocus on what is working and beauti ful in your life, you shift your energy and manifesting vibration. It instantly becomes easier for you to manifest those people and experiences your heart desires to have. It's that simple!
2. Open up your Love Value.
The simple raw truth is that at the very innermost core, you are love itself. Yes, you have an amazing capacity to love, and yet YOU are the source of love. Your mind may make up a million reasons that refute this fact, yet the bigger truth is that you are not the mind. You have the most powerful, awesome, divine loving vibration emanating out from the core of your being at all times. It just may occasionally be obscured by some old stuck feelings and negative thinking patterns learned from others. Just take a moment right now and imagine that you are scooping out all negativity from inside and around your heart. Take your hand and literally grab whatever heaviness, guilt, shame or negativity you feel inside. Let it go! You’ve carried this judgment around long enough. Give it back to where it came from and let this divine Mother Earth recycle it for you. Imagine right now you are throwing it deeply into the ground where it is consumed with love. Then, visualize that there is a value on your heart with 10 settings. The first setting is number 1, and it only lets in a tiny bit of love, while the number 10 setting is a fully open loving heart. What number are you on the love value? Take a moment now, and slowly imagine opening up your valve so that more love can be let in and let out. Open it to the highest number you possibly can and yet it’s also O.K. to let it rest at whatever number feels most comfortable. Play with this love valve everyday this week. You will start to notice a change in your everyday thinking with some practice, and feel how there is truly an infinite source of love ever-present inside you. & nbsp;Enjoy this experience and know it’s absolutely O.K. to let yourself become addicted to how good it feels to bask and bathe in the vibration of love.
3. Focus this warm fuzzy loving feeling into people in your life.
Now that your love value is starting to open wider, this beautiful energy will begin coursing through your veins, and pouring out of you on every level. You will simply become a bigger channel of love for others in your life. Take this moment right now and think of someone that is in pain and desperately needing love in your life. If you can’t think of anyone, you can always use our government leaders. Now imagine your heart is beaming with a golden-white loving light in all directions. This glorious Sun inside you is forming a large blanket of loving energy in the direction of this person(s), and engulfing them completely. Now see their face sighing with deep relieve, tears of gratitude pouring from their eyes. They are sooo thankful for your generosity and love. Now imagine that you are wrapping their heart completely in this golden blan ket of love. See it relax and rest easy inside. You are simply embracing their energy just as it is without trying to change a thing. Keep opening this channel of love flowing towards their body, mind and life for as long as you can. Notice how your energy shifts the longer you do this exercise. Remember, that you ARE the infinite supply of love. There is no lack or scarcity of love inside you. Any appearance of lacking love is just the mind making up stories. Just become aware of how good it feels to love them and you’ll open up more love for yourself! Even if you can only find and feel a tiny smidgen of love for someone, it is creating a massive shift inside your heart to open to more love. Have fun and let go of how you think it should look and feel. Just let the warm fuzzy feelings flow and you’ll see your entire life become transformed.

PC Assembling..
Hi, friends..
After long time i m met u all in the blog, because from Dec 22 i am working in the Universal Digital Library in the Hardware Team. To day i watched praveen sir Vedio's about inside components of the Computer and Assembling. These are the very interesting.
These are very helpful to beginners.
PC ASSEMBLING
We need to know some thing about the computer hard ware. To trouble shoot the system ourselves.
Some Hardware parts which are used in computer.
Computer contains 4 main functional parts those are
1. Input
2. Output
3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4. Memory Storage.
Input: these devices are used to give the input to the system.
Ex: Keyboard, Mouse, etc..
Output: these devices are used to produce the output
Ex: Monitor, Speakers, etc….
Central Processing Unit:
It is also called as brain of the computer. All the processes are executed here.
Most commonly used hardware parts in CPU are:
When I did assembling of my PC I observed some parts those are:
1. Motherboard.
2. Hard Disk.
3. CD-ROM.
4. Floppy Drive.
5. SMPS
Motherboard:
It is an Integrated Printed Circuit Board which contains some electronic devices.
1. PCI slots: In general mother board has 3 PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnection).
In these slots we can install the NIC card and sound card etc……
White color slots in my System.
2. AGP slot: Accelerator Graphics Port is used to connect the AGP card. AGP card is used to improve the speed. AGP is had its own memory and processor so the speed will be increased. The main difference between PCI slot (in Mbps) and AGP slot (in Gbps) is the speed.
Red color slot in my System and is above the PCI slot.
3. System memory (RAM) slot: It is used to put the RAM (Random Access Memory).
This slot is also called as DIM (Dual Input Memory) module.
In the market there are 3 types of RAM
• SD-RAM: Synchronous Dynamic RAM
• DDR SDRAM: Dual Data Rate SDRAM
• RD RAM: Rhombus Dynamic RAM
We can identify them by notches on the RAM.
4. Processor Socket: This is used fix the Processor. It has one liver to fix the processor. When fixing the processor first we need to pull-up the liver and check the missing pins then fix it according to the missing pins then lock the liver.
Processor (My system):
PGA (Pin Grid Array) processor
P-III, 133 MHZ bus speed
25.6 kb cache memory.
5. Heat Sink: This is used to observe the heat generated by the processor. It is also has a fan to cool the Heat Sink. Speed of this fan is approximately 5000 R.P.M
6. IDE Connector (Integrated Device Electronics):
These are used to connect the hard disk, floppy and CD-ROM.
There are two types of IDE connectors
• ATA: Advanced Technology Attachments.
• SATA: Serial ATA.
7. Panel Connectors:
a) Front Panel: There are 4 LED’s to indicate the status of the devices (on/off).
Ex: HDD Led to indicate the Hard disk status.
Power Led to indicate if the C.P.U is on or off status.
b) ATX Connectors (Advanced Technology Extension): It is also called as back panel connector. It is of 2 types
i) Serial Port: COM1 & COM2 (mouse and monitor)
ii) Parallel Port: used to connect the printer.
8. CMOS Battery: It is running with the use of battery. It is also called as Real Time Clock because it is used to run the clock and we can reset the BOIS and CLOCK using this.
9. Power Supply Port: By using this we can supply power to the mother board.
10. CD Audio Wire Pin: Music can be played with out operating system by using CD Audio Wire. We can connect the CD-ROM and Audio card with the help of this wire.
11. Internal Speaker: It will give some beep sounds, which are used to identify the hardware problems.
12. Chipset North Bridge: It is known as display IC. It is having one heat sink to cool it.
13. Chipset South Bridge; It is known as Audio chip.
SMPS:
Switch Mode Power Supply. Which takes 230v as input and it produces various output voltages according to the devices.
1. CD-ROM: +12v to -12v
2. CMOS Battery: +3.3v
3. Floppy: +5v to -5v
Hard Disk:
It is a storage device. Its access speed is very slow. The speed of this is 7200 RPM for baracode hard disks. My System hard disk capacity is 10GB. We are using ATA66 to connect it to mother board.
CD-ROM:
It is also a storage device. It is a removable disk. The capacity of the CD is 700MB. In general we can write CD only one time. We are using ATA33 to connect it to mother board.
Floppy Drive:
It is a small storage device. In general 1.44MB floppies are used. The Power cable and ribbon label is different from other devices.

Body Language..
18 ways to improve your body language
Published October 27th, 2006 in Personal Development and People Skills.
Continuing from the previous post 6 reasons to improve your body language, here is just a few of many pointers on how to improve your body language. Improving your body language can make a big difference in your people skills, attractiveness and general mood.
There is no specific advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted in several ways, depending on the setting and who you are talking to. You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. These are some common interpretations of body language and often more effective ways to communicate with your body.
First, to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice how you sit, how you stand, how you use you hands and legs, what you do while talking to someone.
You might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practise a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You might also want observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you think has good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t. Take bits and pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some of these tips might seem like you are faking something. But fake it til you make it is a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your movements you’ll feel calmer. Your feelings will actually reinforce your new behaviours and feelings of weirdness will dissipate.
In the beginning easy it’s to exaggerate your body language. You might sit with your legs almost ridiculously far apart or sit up straight in a tense pose all the time. That’s ok. And people aren’t looking as much as you think, they are worrying about their own problems. Just play around a bit, practice and monitor yourself to find a comfortable balance.
1. Don’t cross your arms or legs – You have probably already heard you shouldn’t cross your arms as it might make you seem defensive or guarded. This goes for your legs too. Keep your arms and legs open.
2. Have eye contact, but don’t stare – If there are several people you are talking to, give them all some eye contact to create a better connection and see if they are listening. Keeping too much eye-contact might creep people out. Giving no eye-contact might make you seem insecure. If you are not used to keeping eye-contact it might feel a little hard or scary in the beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
3. Don’t be afraid to take up some space – Taking up space by for example sitting or standing with your legs apart a bit signals self-confidence and that you are comfortable in your own skin.
4. Relax your shoulders – When you feel tense it’s easily winds up as tension in your shoulders. They might move up and forward a bit. Try to relax. Try to loosen up by shaking the shoulders a bit and move them back slightly.
5. Nod when they are talking – nod once in a while to signal that you are listening. But don’t overdo it and peck like Woody Woodpecker.
6. Don’t slouch, sit up straight – but in a relaxed way, not in a too tense manner.
7. Lean, but not too much – If you want to show that you are interested in what someone is saying, lean toward the person talking. If you want to show that you’re confident in yourself and relaxed lean back a bit. But don’t lean in too much or you might seem needy and desperate for some approval. Or lean back too much or you might seem arrogant and distant.
8. Smile and laugh – lighten up, don’t take yourself too seriously. Relax a bit, smile and laugh when someone says something funny. People will be a lot more inclined to listen to you if you seem to be a positive person. But don’t be the first to laugh at your own jokes, it makes you seem nervous and needy. Smile when you are introduced to someone but don’t keep a smile plastered on your face, you’ll seem insincere.
9. Don’t touch your face – it might make you seem nervous and can be distracting for the listeners or the people in the conversation.
10. Keep you head up - Don’t keep your eyes on the ground, it might make you seem insecure and a bit lost. Keep your head up straight and your eyes towards the horizon.
11. Slow down a bit – this goes for many things. Walking slower not only makes you seem more calm and confident, it will also make you feel less stressed. If someone addresses you, don’t snap you’re neck in their direction, turn it a bit more slowly instead.
12. Don’t fidget – try to avoid, phase out or transform fidgety movement and nervous ticks such as shaking your leg or tapping your fingers against the table rapidly. You’ll seem nervous and fidgeting can be a distracting when you try to get something across. Declutter your movements if you are all over the place. Try to relax, slow down and focus your movements.
13. Use your hands more confidently – instead of fidgeting with your hands and scratching your face use them to communicate what you are trying to say. Use your hands to describe something or to add weight to a point you are trying to make. But don’t use them to much or it might become distracting. And don’t let your hands flail around, use them with some control.
14. Lower your drink – don’t hold your drink in front of your chest. In fact, don’t hold anything in front of your heart as it will make you seem guarded and distant. Lower it and hold it beside your leg instead.
15. Realise where you spine ends – many people (including me until recently) might sit or stand with a straight back in a good posture. However, they might think that the spine ends where the neck begins and therefore crane the neck forward in a Montgomery Burns-pose. Your spine ends in the back of your head. Keep you whole spine straight and aligned for better posture.
16. Don’t stand too close –one of the things we learned from Seinfeld is that everybody gets weirded out by a close-talker. Let people have their personal space, don’t invade it.
17. Mirror - Often when you get along with a person, when the two of you get a good connection, you will start to mirror each other unconsciously. That means that you mirror the other person’s body language a bit. To make the connection better you can try a bit of proactive mirroring. If he leans forward, you might lean forward. If she holds her hands on her thighs, you might do the same. But don’t react instantly and don’t mirror every change in body language. Then weirdness will ensue.
18. Keep a good attitude – last but not least, keep a positive, open and relaxed attitude. How you feel will come through in your body language and can make a major difference. For information on how make yourself feel better read 10 ways to change how you feel and for relaxation try A very simple way to feel relaxed for 24 hours.
You can change your body language but as all new habits it takes a while. Especially things like keeping you head up might take time to correct if you have spent thousands of days looking at your feet. And if you try and change to many things at once it might become confusing and feel overwhelming.
Take a couple of these body language bits to work on every day for three to four weeks. By then they should have developed into new habits and something you’ll do without even thinking about it. If not, keep on until it sticks. Then take another couple of things you’d like to change and work on them.
Published October 27th, 2006 in Personal Development and People Skills.
Continuing from the previous post 6 reasons to improve your body language, here is just a few of many pointers on how to improve your body language. Improving your body language can make a big difference in your people skills, attractiveness and general mood.
There is no specific advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted in several ways, depending on the setting and who you are talking to. You’ll probably want to use your body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl/guy you’re interested in. These are some common interpretations of body language and often more effective ways to communicate with your body.
First, to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice how you sit, how you stand, how you use you hands and legs, what you do while talking to someone.
You might want to practice in front of a mirror. Yeah, it might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback on how you look to other people and give you an opportunity to practise a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You might also want observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you think has good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t. Take bits and pieces you like from different people. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some of these tips might seem like you are faking something. But fake it til you make it is a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your movements you’ll feel calmer. Your feelings will actually reinforce your new behaviours and feelings of weirdness will dissipate.
In the beginning easy it’s to exaggerate your body language. You might sit with your legs almost ridiculously far apart or sit up straight in a tense pose all the time. That’s ok. And people aren’t looking as much as you think, they are worrying about their own problems. Just play around a bit, practice and monitor yourself to find a comfortable balance.
1. Don’t cross your arms or legs – You have probably already heard you shouldn’t cross your arms as it might make you seem defensive or guarded. This goes for your legs too. Keep your arms and legs open.
2. Have eye contact, but don’t stare – If there are several people you are talking to, give them all some eye contact to create a better connection and see if they are listening. Keeping too much eye-contact might creep people out. Giving no eye-contact might make you seem insecure. If you are not used to keeping eye-contact it might feel a little hard or scary in the beginning but keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
3. Don’t be afraid to take up some space – Taking up space by for example sitting or standing with your legs apart a bit signals self-confidence and that you are comfortable in your own skin.
4. Relax your shoulders – When you feel tense it’s easily winds up as tension in your shoulders. They might move up and forward a bit. Try to relax. Try to loosen up by shaking the shoulders a bit and move them back slightly.
5. Nod when they are talking – nod once in a while to signal that you are listening. But don’t overdo it and peck like Woody Woodpecker.
6. Don’t slouch, sit up straight – but in a relaxed way, not in a too tense manner.
7. Lean, but not too much – If you want to show that you are interested in what someone is saying, lean toward the person talking. If you want to show that you’re confident in yourself and relaxed lean back a bit. But don’t lean in too much or you might seem needy and desperate for some approval. Or lean back too much or you might seem arrogant and distant.
8. Smile and laugh – lighten up, don’t take yourself too seriously. Relax a bit, smile and laugh when someone says something funny. People will be a lot more inclined to listen to you if you seem to be a positive person. But don’t be the first to laugh at your own jokes, it makes you seem nervous and needy. Smile when you are introduced to someone but don’t keep a smile plastered on your face, you’ll seem insincere.
9. Don’t touch your face – it might make you seem nervous and can be distracting for the listeners or the people in the conversation.
10. Keep you head up - Don’t keep your eyes on the ground, it might make you seem insecure and a bit lost. Keep your head up straight and your eyes towards the horizon.
11. Slow down a bit – this goes for many things. Walking slower not only makes you seem more calm and confident, it will also make you feel less stressed. If someone addresses you, don’t snap you’re neck in their direction, turn it a bit more slowly instead.

Interact with Rajreddy Sir...
To day i met with Dr.Rajreddy sir. He and remaining persons explained to us about Universal Digital Libraray project(UDL).
And to day i am introuducing to you one article is about how to reading speed with effectively.
Reading can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming if your speed is not as fast as you’d like it to be. An average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute, but that rate can vary depending on the material and your reading experience. It’s also important to understand what you are reading—even when you improve your speed. If you can spare just 10 minutes a day over a 6 week period to read an easy paperback, you can improve your reading efficiency without a great deal of effort. Here’s how:
Day 1: Set your timer for 10 minutes.
Read as much as you can of your paperback during that time.
When the timer goes, stop reading and insert a paperclip at the top of the last page you read.
Then close the book and summarize out loud everything you remember reading.
Put your book away until the next day.
Day 2: Count the number of pages you read on Day 1 (from the beginning of the book to the paper clip you inserted). Then, starting at the paperclip:
Count off the same number of pages plus one more and insert a second paper clip.
Set your timer for 10 minutes and read fast enough to get through all the pages up to the second paper clip in the 10 minutes.
Now close your book and summarize out loud all that you remember.
Day 3 and after: Repeat the procedure for Day 2.
Increase by 1 the number of pages to read by counting them off and marking your target with a paper clip;
Read fast enough to cover all the pages up to the paper clip;
Close the book and summarize all you remember.
After a couple of weeks, increase the number of pages only every 2-3 days rather than every day.
Keep in mind...
1. Read everything. Don’t miss out on vital information in your pursuit of speed.
2. But another way to improve your reading speed is to focus on the key words in the sentences. A significant amount of reading time is wasted on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles (i.e. a, an, the, but, and, or, nor, but, etc.).
3. Find a reading spot where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading.
4. Preview the material you’re going to read. Look at main headings, chapter divisions, and other relevant material to develop clues about the structure of the work.
5. Use a pacer like a pen or your finger as a focal point to draw your eye across the line or down the page. A pacer can help you increase your speed and reduce re-reading. A pacer can also help you to keep track of what you are reading.
6. Talk about what you’ve read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students, they are able to effectively synthesize the material.
7. Get your eyes checked. Reading glasses may help.
Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading. Try out some of these techniques, and then perfect the strategies that work best for you.
Choose a fiction or non-fiction paperback: one you’ve always wanted to read but just never had time to. It’s best to choose a book that you consider “easy reading” and one where you will be satisfied knowing only the main ideas and not all the details.
You will also need 2-3 paper clips and a stop-watch or timer.Day 1: Set your timer for 10 minutes.
Read as much as you can of your paperback during that time.
When the timer goes, stop reading and insert a paperclip at the top of the last page you read.
Then close the book and summarize out loud everything you remember reading.
Put your book away until the next day.
Day 2: Count the number of pages you read on Day 1 (from the beginning of the book to the paper clip you inserted). Then, starting at the paperclip:
Count off the same number of pages plus one more and insert a second paper clip.
Set your timer for 10 minutes and read fast enough to get through all the pages up to the second paper clip in the 10 minutes.
Now close your book and summarize out loud all that you remember.

3. SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE species = 'snake' OR species = 'bird'; ( " " " " )
4. SELECT name, birth FROM tablename ; ( select for specific columns)
5. SELECT owner FROM tablename ; (for single column)
6. SELECT name, birth FROM tablename ORDER BY birth; (for asc or desc like that purposes)
7. SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE name LIKE 'b%'; (for starting letter begin from b)
