Do You Know Where We Store our Computer Data?

Storage devices are the devices where we electronically store/record data in the computer. Storage devices can be removable or non-removable depend on their type. Most commonly used storage devices are non-removable  can be found inside of CPU casing. Storage devices can be classified into 3 three different categories Primary, Secondary and Tertiary storage devices. These devices are non-volatile storage devices means they don't lose data when powered off. Before we move on you may already know that computer does any kind of data transferring in form of bits (0,1). Some of the common storage devices are:

1. Floppy Disk Drive

Floppy disk drive is basically an input/output device. It was one of the most popular storage device of the past and still it is for some people. However, today USB flash drives replacing it as one of the better alternative of floppy disk drives. Floppy disk is basically a circular shaped flexible plastic which closed inside a solid plastic cover layered with soft foam on both sides.
One of the main reason of floppy disk’s popularity is the cheap price and capability of data read/write. The data stored in floppy disk is portable and you can transport it to any other computer that has floppy disk drive installed already. Floppy disks are getting rare now, because of high data corruption rate, slow data transfer(read/write), and very small data storage capacity of only up to 1.44 Megabyteswhich is one of the biggest disadvantage of it. Anyways, It could still be a good option to make the backup of your small documents like a Microsoft Word document or some low-resolution images, etc.


Do You Know

You may wonder that some businesses and industries still regularly use floppy disk drives. Personally I had seen someone installing Windows 3.x using four floppy disks for embroidery machines.

2. Hard Disks or HDD:

A Hard disk consists of one or more circular disks of aluminum or other metal alloy coated with magnetic material on both sides. It’s a mass storage device capable tostore large amount of data for long time-period with higher data transfer rate(read / write data). That’s why an HDD is the most common part of any system. A hard disk is commonly a Fixed disk since they can be found inside of a CPU casing, but lacks in capability of moving data from one to another place. 

Note: We use portable hard drives (or External HDD) which allows to move large amount of data anywhere stored inside of an external HDD.
One of the greatest speed factor of hard disk is instead of reading the stored data inside a hard disk from the beginning it directly reaches to the exact location where data is actually stored (i.e direct access device). A hard disk can be used to store OS files, applications, files and folders etc. We'll discuss about hard disk speed factors to help you to buying good quality hard drives.


3. Optical Storage Media:

i) CD ROM (CD-R and CD-RW) 
CD ROM is an abbreviation of Compact Disk Read Only Memory also a common storage device. As we said above hard disk drives read/writes data at much faster rate than a floppy disk, then why we still need a CD ROM, and the simple answer is a CD can store up to 700 MB of data in it and allows to move CD data from one place to another with ease and portability. On the other hand, floppy disk can store up to 1.44 MB which is not just enough today. It's also very cheap to buy a CD and software development companies are selling their softwares in CDs. You can get a complete version of of their softwares within single CD. 

Let's give you an example, in past when CDs were not available Microsoft Office had supplied with 32 floppy disks, But thanks to the invention of optical storage media and CD ROMs now this software is available in one CD or DVD for latest versions. You can install softwares from CDs more quickly than a floppy disk drive due to better data transfer rate of CD ROMs.


CD-R: Used for read-only data, allows one-time data recording on the disk.  It’s an abbreviation of Compact Disk Recordable. 
CD-RW or CD Burner: Used for reading / writing / erasing of data to a CD more than once. CD-RW is an abbreviation of Compact Disk Re-writable. You need a classified CD-RW disk not just a CD-R disk for recording/erasing data multiple times. Remember that, a CD-R disk can only be used to record data once. Many people forget this when when buying compact disks for the same purpose.
ii) DVD ROM (DVD-R and DVD-RW)
A DVD drive can store much more data than a CD can. An average DVD can store up to 4 GB of data however the latest dual-layered DVDs are capable to store up to 8 GB of data. The main purpose of DVD drives to store movies, games or any other stuff beyond the capacity of a CD. You need a DVD ROM to to read these disks. Like CDs DVD drives also come in two types: DVD-R, DVD-RW / DVD Burner; one for just reading the disk and other for data reading and writing both.

4. Flash Memory / Pen Drives:

A USB Flash drive is a portable or removable data storage device that allows you tomove data anywhere and  give immediate access to the data (because of plug and play support). They’re compact in size not bigger than a human finger can easily slide into your pockets and capable to store data anywhere from 256 MB to 512 GB.
It’s a better way to transport your data whenever you want and wherever you want . These devices are considered as backup devices and are also known as thumb drive / pen drive / Keychain drive and solid state drive (SSD the technology used in camera and smart phones and other devices – unlike HDD it stores data in integrated circuits & chips without movements of parts). USB flash drives are cheaper than a floppy disk as compare to data storage space they offer.

 

5. Magnetic Tapes / Tape Drives

Tape drives have been using for decades regarded as the most popularly used storage device ever. These devices store data using tape or cartridge coated with magnetic material provide low-cost data storage than any other disk drive can offer. These storage devices specifically used as a backup data storage. Magnetic tapes are very slow at data transfer due to sequential read/write mechanism.

Database

Entity

  • An entity is simply a person, place, event or thing for which we want to collect data.
    • Example: student, course, teacher, enrollment, band, singer (has to be single!)
  • An Entity in an ERD is slightly different, we are referring to all of the objects as a whole collection.
    • For example if we had a student entity, we are talking about all the students together not just a single one.
  • An entity is represented by a rectangle containing its name.
  • things a clear identity of  its own.
  • something that exists separate from other things and has a clear identity of it own.
  • each entity must have at least one primary key.

entity

Attribute

  • Attributes are the characteristics of an entity, they are the actual pieces of data that will be in the database.
    • Example of student attribute: student number, first name, last name, date of birth and nationality and so on.
  • In ERD, attributes are represented by oval and are connected to an enity with a line, Each oval contains the name of the attribute it represents.
  • Each attribute should be connected to only one entity.

attributes 


multi-valued attribute: 

An attribute that holds multiple values for a single entity
Example: A person may have more than one email address.

derived attribute:

an attribute that represents a value that is calculated from the value of another attribute within the same entity.
Example: A person's age. This is calculated from date of birth and the current date.

composite attribute:

An attribute composed of multiple values each with an independent existence but together provides one information. 
Example: Address. This can be subdivided into street, suburb, state and postcode.





Relationship 

  • Entities in the ERD are related to each other. Some are joined together to show that there is some sort of relationship between the entities.
    • Example: The teacher and student entity have a relationship that can be labelled as "teacher teaches student"
  • Relationships are represented by a diamond shaped symbol with a word in the shape to describe the relationship.
  • Lines are used to connect the entities and relationships to one another.

Relationship Types: 

  • The relationship type or degree refers to the number of entities involved in the relationship.
  • There are 3 basic relationship associations:
    • Unary relationship : The entity is related to itself
    • Binary relationship: Two entities are rlated to each other
    • Ternary relationship : three entities are related to each other
    • There are higher ones but they are very uncommon. 
  • The most common one is the Binary relationship.

Connectivity 

  • This describes how many objects of one entity is related to how many objects in the other entity in the relationship.
  • There are three types of relationship connectivity:
    • One to One (1 to 1) : each object in the first entity is related to one other object in the other entity.
    • One to Many (1 to M) : one object in the first entity is related to many objects of the other entity. this can also be Many to One, depending which entity is drawn on which side.
    • Many to Many(M to N): many objects of the first entity is related to many objects in the other entity.

Participation 

  • This describes whether in a relationship if one or both of entities are required for the other to exist.
  • There will be some cases that one entity can exist even without the other enrity.
    • Example: in a relationship between teachers and classes, the class has a total participation in the relationship. Every instance of the class requires a teacher.
  • Total participation is drawn with a double line.

What is Frequency Polygon - Statistics

Frequency polygons are a graphical device for understanding the shapes of distributions. They serve the same purpose as histograms, but are especially helpful for comparing sets of data. Frequency polygons are also a good choice for displaying cumulative frequency distributions.
To create a frequency polygon, start just as for histograms, by choosing aclass interval. Then draw an X-axis representing the values of the scores in your data. Mark the middle of each class interval with a tick mark, and label it with the middle value represented by the class. Draw the Y-axis to indicate the frequency of each class. Place a point in the middle of each class interval at the height corresponding to its frequency. Finally, connect the points. You should include one class interval below the lowest value in your data and one above the highest value. The graph will then touch the X-axis on both sides.
A frequency polygon for 642 psychology test scores shown in Figure 1 was constructed from the frequency table shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Frequency Distribution of Psychology Test Scores.
Lower LimitUpper LimitCountCumulative Count
29.539.500
39.549.533
49.559.51013
59.569.55366
69.579.5107173
79.589.5147320
89.599.5130450
99.5109.578528
109.5119.559587
119.5129.536623
129.5139.511634
139.5149.56640
149.5159.51641
159.5169.51642
169.5179.50642
The first label on the X-axis is 35. This represents an interval extending from 29.5 to 39.5. Since the lowest test score is 46, this interval has a frequency of 0. The point labeled 45 represents the interval from 39.5 to 49.5. There are three scores in this interval. There are 147 scores in the interval that surrounds 85.
You can easily discern the shape of the distribution from Figure 1. Most of the scores are between 65 and 115. It is clear that the distribution is not symmetric inasmuch as good scores (to the right) trail off more gradually than poor scores (to the left). In the terminology of Chapter 3 (where we will study shapes of distributions more systematically), the distribution is skewed.
frequency polygon
Figure 1. Frequency polygon for the psychology test scores.
cumulative frequency polygon for the same test scores is shown in Figure 2. The graph is the same as before except that the Y value for each point is the number of students in the corresponding class interval plus all numbers in lower intervals. For example, there are no scores in the interval labeled "35," three in the interval "45," and 10 in the interval "55." Therefore, the Y value corresponding to "55" is 13. Since 642 students took the test, the cumulative frequency for the last interval is 642.
cumulative polygon
Figure 2. Cumulative frequency polygon for the psychology test scores.
Frequency polygons are useful for comparing distributions. This is achieved by overlaying the frequency polygons drawn for different data sets. Figure 3 provides an example. The data come from a task in which the goal is to move a computer cursor to a target on the screen as fast as possible. On 20 of the trials, the target was a small rectangle; on the other 20, the target was a large rectangle. Time to reach the target was recorded on each trial. The two distributions (one for each target) are plotted together in Figure 3. The figure shows that, although there is some overlap in times, it generally took longer to move the cursor to the small target than to the large one.
Figure 3. Overlaid frequency polygons.
It is also possible to plot two cumulative frequency distributions in the same graph. This is illustrated in Figure 4 using the same data from the cursor task. The difference in distributions for the two targets is again evident.

Normalization in Database

In creating a database, normalization is the process of organizing it into tables in such a way that the results of using the database are always unambiguous and as intended. Normalization may have the effect of duplicating data within the database and often results in the creation of additional tables. (While normalization tends to increase the duplication of data, it does not introduce redundancy, which is unnecessary duplication.) Normalization is typically a refinement process after the initial exercise of identifying the data objects that should be in the database, identifying their relationships, and defining the tables required and the columns within each table.
A simple example of normalizing data might consist of a table showing:
CustomerItem purchasedPurchase price
ThomasShirt$40
MariaTennis shoes$35
EvelynShirt$40
PajaroTrousers$25
If this table is used for the purpose of keeping track of the price of items and you want to delete one of the customers, you will also delete a price. Normalizing the data would mean understanding this and solving the problem by dividing this table into two tables, one with information about each customer and a product they bought and the second about each product and its price. Making additions or deletions to either table would not affect the other.
Normalization degrees of relational database tables have been defined and include:
First normal form (1NF). This is the "basic" level of normalization and generally corresponds to the definition of any database, namely:
  • It contains two-dimensional tables with rows and columns.
  • Each column corresponds to a sub-object or an attribute of the object represented by the entire table.
  • Each row represents a unique instance of that sub-object or attribute and must be different in some way from any other row (that is, no duplicate rows are possible).
  • All entries in any column must be of the same kind. For example, in the column labeled "Customer," only customer names or numbers are permitted.
Second normal form (2NF). At this level of normalization, each column in a table that is not a determiner of the contents of another column must itself be a function of the other columns in the table. For example, in a table with three columns containing customer ID, product sold, and price of the product when sold, the price would be a function of the customer ID (entitled to a discount) and the specific product.
Third normal form (3NF). At the second normal form, modifications are still possible because a change to one row in a table may affect data that refers to this information from another table. For example, using the customer table just cited, removing a row describing a customer purchase (because of a return perhaps) will also remove the fact that the product has a certain price. In the third normal form, these tables would be divided into two tables so that product pricing would be tracked separately.

To Fight For Rights & Reject Bad Policies & Leaders

The sensitive issue of Ontario’s new sex education curriculum isheating up very much and increasing theblood pressure and anger of the affected parents and people asit startstesting their religious, freedom, human rights, family, morality, responsibility, respectability, social, cultural and patience levels and tolerance.

Parents and people aredetermined to fully protect their rights and freedom, under Canada’s Charter of Rights & Freedom, and keep using all the available peaceful and sensible options of rejecting and protesting against all such parties, leaders, policymakers and policies which are proving harmful and destructivefor them and Canada.

Peaceful protests are being held and parents kept their children away fromschools for a week and could even keep away their children from such classes and schools indefinitely. Children are suffering the mostbut they fully understand the sensitivity and gravity of the issue and that’s why are willingly supporting the parents and people. They are sensing the dangers and consider it as extremely harmful and destructive.

Chris Selley of daily ‘National Post’, published from Toronto, Canada, in his analysis titled ‘Muslim community taking the lead in latest round of Ontario sex-education protests’, published on May 5, 2015, highlighted the events and developments taking place against the ‘Harmful &Objectionable’ Ontario’s new sex education curriculum.

Chris contacted me and chatted with me on this sensitive issue and carried my comments as follows: “Freelance journalist Javed Zaheer warns of the “total destruction” of his grandchildren’s generation.”

As regards the chat with Chris Selley and my comment in his analysis, I would like to make my comment and point clear to remove the confusions and misunderstandings, if any, created.

Nobody would have objected and protested if the Ontario’s new sex education curriculum had been purely educational and meant to create proper awareness and better understanding for the children of all ages, particularly appropriate and mature ages and mental levels so that they can grasp the necessary knowledge for safety and awareness and protect themselves from the harms, dangers, exploiters, pedophiles and criminals.

Already, children are being taught about health including sex. On that too concerned parents and people objected only against the “Objectionable portions” being taught to children of inappropriate ages and against their religious, family, social and cultural values and principles. Most of them kept their children away from such classes on optional basis.

Concerned parents and people say that the problem with the Ontario’s new sex education curriculum is that it is not only unethically crossing the limits and levels of maturity, morality, responsibility, respectability, values and principles but proving extremely destructive to the innocence, lives, and future of the children and new generation. It will open the doors for the evils, criminals and sex mafia to easily lure and hook the children to exploit, use and abuse them and produce a generation of rapists, predators and sinners. Their inappropriate ages, innocence and curiosity will increase their lust,make them irresponsible and sexually charged and definitely lead them to immorality and criminality.

The concerned parents and people consider it as a conspiracy of a lobby and fear that the motive behind the new sex education curriculum is to promote immorality and support and promote all those involved in such practices. Once they become part of the system and society then the job would become easy and the innocent children could be easily hooked, lured, exploited and abused.

The good, responsible and respectable parents, people and families of any community can never and will never allow this to happen. They will protect their children, families, cultures, values and principles at all cost.

The sexuality process of erection, insertion and ejection are all but natural for all living beings and the new sex education curriculum would definitely increase their sexual and lustful levels and allow them to understand and test them.They simply cannot avoid it.

Instead they would become Peeping Toms and keep a watchful eye on members of the family, friends and communityincluding parents, siblings and others to watch or get a chance to practically do something.

So what kind of a generation are we trying to create or produce? The day will not be far when a Grade-1 kid will ask his mother,sister, teacher or any other person: “Am I masturbating properly?” or “Hey, can you please measure my thickness and size?” or “Can you please teach me how to properly do and enjoy sex?” or “Mama or daddy I don’t need toys any more. Ineed condom and someoneto practice and play?”

I have four grandchildren and more kids in my family and friends circles. I shudder on even imagining about such a sex generation, happenings, situation and condition. This will definitely happen if we dangerously cross the limits and levels of maturity, morality, values and principles. Children and the future generations willlose their innocence, religion, family, responsibility and respect for all.

The good human beings would turn into sex hunter and sex mafia gang member. Canada and all good, responsible and respectable Canadians just cannot afford and allow this to happen at any cost. All attempts to bring such policies and changes would be opposed and thwarted.

As regards Ontario’s Premier Kathleen Wynne, she is MPP of my constituency Don Valley West and people mostly respected and voted for her and her party. She is a really very good and powerful leader and love mixing with the people of the area, listening and helping them. This is why I like and respect her too and hope that on this sensitive issue too she would meet the concerned parents, families and people, listen to them and try to find an acceptable and respectable solution.

Failure to do so on any pretext or grounds would lead to clash with the people and crash of her Liberal Party. Now, people are definitely in no mood to be good with her or her Liberal Party. The new sex education curriculum would definitely affect her and her Liberal party’s position adversely. People are damn angry and determined not to choose or entertain any such party or leader who does not respect them, their religion, cultures, traditions, ethics,values and principles.

The concerned members and leaders of the community including Shahid Hashmi, Chairman, Canpak Chamber of Commerce, Seema Hashmi, Syed Muhammad Iqbal, President of Pak Seniors Forum, Hashim Hyder, Tahir Hussain, Masoodul Haq gathered at the residence of Hameeduddin Ahmed, who had published and edited Toronto’s Urdu newspaper `AWAZ’, on May 6, 2015, in Pickering. The Ontario sex education curriculum was extensively and openly discussed and the majority members strongly criticised and condemned such a policy and considered its implementation as futile, disastrous and destructive.

Syed Muhammad Iqbal, PSF President, termed the Ontario sex education curriculum as devastating and destructive. He highlighted the “objectionable parts” of the curriculum as follows:
1) Proper names for body parts will be taught to students of Grade 1.
2) Students of Grade 2 will learn about the broad conceptof consent by being told that no means No.
3) The curriculum positions sexual orientation as one of the potential qualities that distinguish people from one another.
4) Now in Grade 4 discussion about puberty will be common and will move further to Grade 5 while education about intercourse will take place the following year
5) In Grade 6, masturbation and gender expression will also be part of the curriculum.In Grades 7 and 8, contraception and oral sex preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections will be taught and students will also learn about online bullying and the dangers of sharing sexually explicit images electronically.

People are already burdened and fed up by the rapidly increasing prices of everything. It is becoming harder for them to meet the increasing expenses including family, rent and groceries. Their pockets are being emptied to meet the budget deficit caused by the wrong policies of incompetent leaders and parties with vested interests. The wrong policies and incompetent leadership is proving harmful for Canada and all Canadians. Instead of cutting their “Expenses”, the leaders are cutting the throats of the common people.

It will definitely adversely affect the system, society, communities and families. A survey would reveal the facts and the prevailing situation and condition. Most people are fed up with elections, leaders and parties. .

The prime minister, premiers, ministers, policymakers, bureaucrats and leaders of all levels and parties---federal, provincial and municipal---must focus on all such priority issues so that people could live, breathe and even die respectfully and peacefully.

The increasing burden of rising expenses is becoming intolerable and making the lives of common peopleterrible and miserable. The need and urgency is to act fast before Canada and Canadians are harmed by the wrong policies and incompetent leadership at any levels. All communities and people must understand this and unite to practically help and support each other toprotect
Canada and Canadians and make them really safer, stronger and successful.
\ It is the duty and responsibility of the MP, MPP and Councillor to guide and help the people of their areas but recently one person came with a complaint that a staffer of MP of Don Valley West instead of helping him sent him a “Hurting email”. He was shocked and disappointed by that email and said: “Where should I go now and who will listen and help me?”

Such attitude is narrowing the roads for success and power for both the Liberal and Conservative parties and giving advantage to the NDP. The elections are due in few months but the outcome could be predicted by the performance and attitude of the leaders, parties and their staff. People are this time more charged and aware of what is happening to them, Ontario and Canada because of the wrong, bad and incompetent leaders and policies.

Life's Most important Questions

  • Who are we?
  • What are we? 
  • From where did we come? 
  • Where would we go? 
  • What are we doing? 

The true purpose of life is to answer these questions and then live: Who are we? What are we? From where did we come? Where would we go? What are we doing? What should we do? Are we doing right? Will it take us to where we want to go? Do we know where we want to go? Is it the right destination?
Many of us are impatient. We don’t want to spend time answering questions. We just want to jump into life, thinking that life will be over soon. Sure, life will be over, but suppose you knew that you’re not going to die that you’re going to live forever and you’re immortal. Then, will we just rush through life? You don’t even know whether you die, or is it only your body that dies? As I study these questions, I share that we must not just rush into life, but we must stop, understand, introspect, and contemplate and then live!

What are Spritual Books?

Spiritual books are known to be our best friends for their unconditional love towards us. Reading, generally, has always been one of our favourite hobbies. As far as spiritual inspiration and knowledge is concerned, there is no substitute of acquiring it other than from spiritual books. These books are fuel for our thoughts and beliefs, they provide us the inspiration and courage to stand up for what we feel is right for our growth. 

Spiritual books have begun to multiply in number in recent times. And it is true that once we go through the work of writers who have had spiritual inspiration, our lives get changed. 

Tired of leading stressful and unhappy lives, people with a desire to lead peaceful lives are resorting to spirituality. Thus spirituality is on the rise. Walking on the path of spirituality not only helps us to realise our real Self, but it also inspires us and drives us to lead a joyous life. If we intend to relax and attain peace of mind we should read spiritual books. 

A good way of selecting these inspiring books is to search online for them. We need to select a few good spiritual books available in the market and start reading it religiously. We should make a regular habit of reading them, set up a time of the day for the same, and put our whole mind on it. While reading spiritual books we should not be watching TV or eating or doing anything else. 

We slowly begin to see the world around us in a different perspective. We begin to comprehend why a person is behaving the way he/she is. We learn to take things in stride and move on without getting much baffled from his/her behaviour. 

Spiritual books help us clarify a lot of our doubts which otherwise seem difficult to resolve. We must believe that our time invested in spiritual reading will definitely change our lives. We become very positive. Our attitude and point of view for life also changes. Realizing our dreams and aspirations will become easy and we shall experience joys like never before. 

This blissful experience is an important facet of spiritual inspiration coming through books. Nonetheless, mere reading won�t help us unless we learn to apply these principles in our day to day affairs. Spirituality is not about reading alone, it is about being and becoming. We need to understand the writer�s point of view and begin to follow it in our lives with determination. This is important because without doing this spiritual books will produce no good results. 

For people like us who are moved by spiritual inspiration, it is necessary that we seek wholeheartedly until we reach our destination. And once we begin to find spiritual realisation, we must keep seeking until we are convinced, at the deepest level of our inner being, of the eternal reality that God, is our own real Self. 

For some of us, this realisation might happen in an instant explosive revelation; for others, it will occur quietly and gradually. Whenever it happens, we will all know.
