Library Resource VS E-Resources\r\nMOHAMMED ABDUL RAFAY\r\nSt. Mary\u2019s Centenary Degree, BBA 1B, ROLL NO 065\r\n\r\n\r\nAbstract: This paper is a brief analysis of what library resources and e-resources mean. In this paper, we are trying to analyze effectiveness of library and its resources, and the e-resources. We see, what is the difference between the two, their comparative relevance, significance, efficiency comparison, and, we see some detailed facts and figures. We see, that in this digital era, significant importance has been given to the e-resources, as they are less time consuming, more efficient, informative, easily accessible and dynamic. \r\nE-Resources are constantly evolving, as technology is progressing. It will always provides us with updated, therefore latest sources of information. It is dynamic, as it changes according to the trends, changes, being implemented or introduced in the real world. Information can be easily modified\/manipulated accordingly, without much wastage, as it is mostly electronic. Whereas, in library resources, information is not dynamic, and is fixed. It has to be re-published\/rewritten, if changes In the real world happen. Added to that, it is not very efficient, as it is time consuming to produce, and also induce it in our lives, as a lot of searching for relevant information is done manually, and not by input. Also, all the information, is not readily available, in a particular place. It is hence, a fragmented approach, where, information has to be collected, piece by piece. Also, in the modern era, library is given least reference, with very few visitors. \r\n\r\nBackground to the Study:\r\nLibraries have transformed into digital and virtual libraries where books, journals and magazines have changed into e-books, e-journals, and e-magazines. This has increased the global dissemination of information (Abinew & Vuda, 2013). Electronic resources such as e-journals, e-books, e-databases, web resources, e-serials amongst others are easily accessible in remote e-books. June (2008) opined that electronic resources solve storage problems and control the flood of information, that is, print sources is being digitized. The rapid growth of new technologies has changed the communication process and reduced the cost of communication for individuals. Electronic information resources can be defined as the electronic representation of information which can be accessed via electronic system and computer network (Johnson, Evensen, Gelfand, Lammers, Sipe & Zilper, 2012). They further buttress that electronic information sources can be seen as the most recent development in information technology and that they are available in various forms like e-books, digital libraries, online journals, magazine, e-learning tutors and online test. Because of the effective presentation with multimedia tools, these e-resources have become the source of information. \r\nElectronic resources deliver the collection of information as full text (aggregated) information. E-journals, image collections, multimedia in the form of CD, tape, internet, web technology, etc. E-resources include e-journals, e-discussions, e-news, data archives, e-mail online chatting, just to mention\r\n\r\nIntroduction: \u201cNothing is more impotent than an unread library\u201d. A library is regarded as the powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom. It is a collection of writings, which include novels, poetry, manuscripts, journals, and various other sources of information in a printed\/paperback format. A library is a traditional place, which has been a part of the society since way back. However, we are now facing the digital era, where everything is computerized. Where information is available in digital formats. The journals, the novels, which are pre-existing in libraries, as well as newer and more updated conceptual writings are readily available on the internet. Therefore, it is the most reliable and accessible source of accurate information. \r\n\r\nCharacteristics of Library Resources: Following are given a few characteristic features of library resources.\r\n\u2022\tLibrary resources are in a paperback\/printed format. \r\n\u2022\tHealthiest resource of information. \r\n\u2022\tThese include printed journals, essays, novels, papers, poetry, available only in libraries and places that offer any such material. \r\n\u2022\tA library inculcates the good habit of reading without harming our vision.\r\n\u2022\tIt inculcates the quality of maintaining silence and discipline. \r\n\u2022\tIncreases creativity and capacity of the brain to think.\r\n\u2022\tIt is a fragmented approach. \r\n\u2022\tIt is the traditional approach. \r\n\u2022\tResources can be preserved for generations to come.\r\n\r\nCharacteristics of E-Resources: Following are the characteristics of e-resources.\r\n\u2022\tInformation is available in electronic format, on the internet. \r\n\u2022\tIt is mainly hosted on websites. \r\n\u2022\tIt is relevant. \r\n\u2022\tIt is portable. \r\n\u2022\tIt is easily accessible. \r\n\u2022\tIt is time efficient. \r\n\u2022\tIt is cognizant of the latest trends, hence is always updated. \r\n\u2022\tIt is smart.\r\n\u2022\tCan be referred to effortlessly on the go.\r\n\u2022\tAll the information of the world is available on fingertips. \r\n\u2022\tRequires less discipline and can be accessed informally. \r\n\r\nDrawbacks of Library Resources: Being the healthiest means of information, a library has its own boundaries. Printed\/paperback resources have the following drawbacks. \r\n\u2022\tCan be outdated. \r\n\u2022\tCan get too generalized. \r\n\u2022\tCan have restrictive regulations, which can hinder learning creatively \r\n\u2022\tAre not readily available. \r\n\u2022\tAre not easily accessible. \r\n\u2022\tAre expensive. (When compared to e-resources)\r\n\u2022\tAre very much time consuming.\r\n\u2022\tAre not always portable. \r\n\u2022\tAre monotonous sources of information. \r\n\r\nDrawbacks of E-Resources: Being the most reliable, E-Resources have their own adversaries.\r\n\u2022\tCan easily distract readers through advertisements.\r\n\u2022\tCan be exploited due to its easy accessibility. \r\n\u2022\tReading and gaining information can be taken for granted, as e-resources provoke irresponsible behavior, and, promote procrastination. \r\n\u2022\tCan be hazardous to eyesight on prolonged referring. \r\n\u2022\tEssence of bibliography is lost.\r\n\u2022\tCan prevent people from visiting libraries.\r\n\u2022\tToo much generalization can be disruptive.\r\n\r\n\r\nFacts and figures: With over 17,000 libraries and 2.5 billion materials circulated annually in the United States alone, libraries are a ubiquitous part of the American landscape. However, as libraries modernize, they face an increasingly harsh budget environment, as well as technological disruption in media, scholarship, and education. The political, social, and technological environment is one of transformation and uncertainty. \r\n\r\nAwareness of E-Resources: (Scenario of Southern Nigerian Universities)\r\nAwareness is knowledge about particular information and manifested through a particular behavior. Awareness is paramount if postgraduate students are to effectively and efficiently use electronic resources. Abinew and Vuda (2013) survey on acceptance and use of electronic library services in universities respondents were asked about their awareness of the available e-library services to indicate their answers by way of saying \u201cYes\u201d, \u201cNo\u201d and \u201cTo some extent\u201d. Majority of the respondents (57.97%) responded \u201cTo some extent\u201d to indicate that they have only limited awareness about the existence of e-libraries resources and didn\u2019t know well and in detail. 20.65% of respondents do not know anything about the existence of the e-library services at all. Only 21.38% of the respondents were well aware of the existence of the e-library services. They also found in the same study that there is no significant difference in awareness of e-library services that existed between \r\n\r\nuniversities, academic staffs and postgraduate students, and among streams (faculties\/colleges\/institutions)\r\n\u2003\r\nStatement of the Problem of E-Resources: (Scenario of Nigerian Universities)\r\nIn earlier times, information resources were mainly presented in paper formats. At present information is generated in an exponential rate and the need to make them readily available, accessible to all became an issue and in a bid to overcome this problem, brought about the quest for an alternative media for holding and propagating information resources. Several attempts were made until the emergence of information and communication technology (ICT) especially the Internet in the early 1990s, which brought about the needed change to cope with the ever increasing volume of information. With the Internet and other electronic information resource (EIR) media such as CD ROM, databases, OPAC, etc., information can be stored in one place and be made simultaneously available to all for usage. According to Fabunmi, Paris and Fabunmi (2006) the manual system of searching for information resources does not permit multiple accessibility and usage of the same information resources by different users unlike online services. It is worthy of note that, EIRs are of great importance to the academic and research needs of postgraduate students of library and information science, since they are available in various formats in libraries. However, observations as shown that postgraduate students of library and information science seem not to be utilizing these e-resources available to them, could it be that they are not aware of these EIRs and if they are aware why is it that usage is hindered. Based on this premise, Ekenna and Ukpebor (2012) stressed that EIRs have received high patronage with functional acceptance in other countries globally as against the situation in Nigeria. In the same vein, Igbeka and Okpala (2004) opined that since 1995, introduction of CD ROM literature search into the university library system, the number of users of CD ROM facility is still very small as against the number of registered library users. This they revealed might be due to lack of or inadequate awareness of e-resources. Also, studies have indicated that factors such as awareness and skill are the determining factors that may influence users\u2019 decision to use EIRs (Obuh, 2009; Omotayo, 2010; Prangya & Rabindra, 2013). Therefore, the crux of this study is to investigate the awareness, usage, skillfulness of electronic information resources among postgraduate students\u2019 of library and information science in Southern Nigeria universities.\r\n\r\nOpinion: Intellectuals would opine on the proper use of e-resources. There should be a parity between e-resources and library-resources. Ideally, e-resources are much better than paperback information. But, they have their own drawbacks. Also, library has its own advantages. Therefore, a proper understanding of the two must be developed. Both resources shall be used wisely.\r\n\u2003\r\nConclusion: E-Resources are the ideal resources. But, library resources are the most mentally beneficial. A parity should be maintained between the two. Also, both can be used simultaneously, In a constructive manner. Many libraries are implementing modern methods of retrieving information. Computers have been introduced in libraries, with internet facilities. Therefore, combination of the two is to be desired. \r\n\r\nBibliography:\r\n\u2022\tAbbas Khan, A. A., Minhaj F. & Ayesha, S.

Well, I wasn't very keen about writing this up because I didn't want to go back to something that doesn't even remotely make me feel okay to think of. I was sitting and plotting excuses that would sound natural to skip this. But then, I decided I must write it up and get done with it once and for all maybe, because, I actually never spoke about it. It's weird how despite wanting and trying to be a fierce and brave woman, I assumed that telling people around me about something as such would make them question my behavior in return. And, I certainly didn't want to feel any more worse than how I had already been feeling. I am being this precise with every detail that runs through my head while I write this because, if any of you reading this have ever gone through sexual harassment: I want you all to not feel even the slightest amount of self-doubt that I had felt back then about the possibility of me being on the wrong end.<\/p>
It was a casual brunch that I was out for with a friend of mine, we went to a Mall to just roam around and hog on some food for the starters, we didn't see the other side of the day closing in on us yet since it was just the afternoon. At around 3pm, (broad daylight, mind you) we were returning back home and since we had not gotten an auto till the place where she exactly lived, we got down at the beginning of her street and walked to her apartment. All this while, we didn't know that someone was right behind us. We were lost in our own talk. We were in her building, on the stairs, we suddenly felt a hand running right up our thighs through our dresses. It felt disgusting. I don't want to get into the details. We screamed and turned around. We saw a man of about 24 years or so standing behind us with a scary grin on his face. We started screaming at him about what he was trying to do. He screamed back at us and blamed us in return for having worn 'filthy' dresses, saying that we 'deserve' to be touched without our will and he ran away. I swear, I had never felt that disgusted about being a woman any day before. Not even on the worst of my period-cramp days. My friend and I went back to her house and decided to never tell this to our families because we feared that they would panic and become over protective in the days to come. I still remember how she cried. I was in a state of shock and disgust to even respond to my senses. <\/p>
I was only 15 and she was 18. She wore a knee-length skater dress and I wore a knee-length bodycon skirt. We looked at ourselves in the mirror. Exchanged empty glances wondering whether we were actually dressed as what people call 'filthy' or deserving of 'sexual harassment.' We both received the incident at different emotional scales of course. I wouldn't know how she coped since we never uttered about it even with each other. I didn't wear any short dresses for about 3-4 months until I was successful in convincing myself that I am not at fault: by reading articles about women who have been sexually harassed. I needed the assurance from someone with a similar experience that wearing a short dress is not a yes for inviting unwanted gaze\/sexual advances from anybody. I was too young to know what held right and what held wrong on such grounds. I was scared to go out alone without my family for about 6 months. I judged all my male friends thinking that they'd probably be carrying the same outlook on women who dress according to their wish.<\/p>
It's been 4 years and it still disgusts me just as much. That was the first and the last time I felt an unwanted touch on my body. Along these 4 years, I have managed to teach myself and educate myself enough about how to respond during such situations and how to cope with the disgust and terror of it later. It is not your fault to want to dress as you wish. It is not your fault that people who barely have common sense and self control flash their privates at you with the unsolicited advice- 'dress decently and you can avoid it' or anything else for that matter. It is not your fault that you want to be as much free as men roaming on the street in shorts or roaming out late at night. We don't look at men on the street wearing a shorts with a weird gaze as much as we do it to our women. We don't question our men about their ideas or actions as much as we dictate our women about their choices and behavior. <\/p>
No matter what, under whichever circumstance it was that you were sexually harassed- YOU were NOT at fault. There is nothing under the sun which makes a woman (or any person in general) deserving of 'sexual harassment.' Now when I think of it I regret not slapping his face with my heel. What worthy work would my footwear have done that day! Do not have such regrets. Fight back. Talk about it when you gather the courage to. Confide in your loved ones. Though they'll be worried for about a while, you will bear a light heart post your talk with them. It eases your stress out by at least a tad bit.<\/p>
Talking about the incident after years altogether doesn't make you less worthy of justice, having had or not having had sexual relationships earlier doesn't demean your consent for a new one to zero. There a hundred things that people blame you for during or post such incidents with zero regard for your trauma, but DO NOT pay attention to them. Saying 'no' is a sentence in itself. (I picked this quote from PINK because it holds relevance.) It doesn't require further explanations, unless YOU want to give one. Your body and what you wear on it, what you do with it, is all YOUR choice. <\/p>
All of this, every bit of this was something that was running through my mind post that incident. I did blame myself many times for having been careless. But today, I am aware and respectful enough with myself, to tell myself, that I wasn't careless. My friend wasn't careless. We weren't dressed to invite sexual harassment. We just wanted to feel pretty and have a good day. No one dresses to invite sexual harassment. No one deserves being touched without their consent. No one deserves to see or experience unpleasant visual\/verbal exchanges of sexual advances without their will.<\/p>
I have forgotten more than half the details of how I had felt back then. The anger, the terror, the rush to slap the devil out of his rotten mind. It can all come back to my head within a jiffy and I can go on about it. But, I don't want to. At the end of the day, how healthy and free my mind wants to be of the negative emotions inside of me, matters. Whether or not you want to talk about something still remains your wish just as much as it remained my wish until today.<\/p>
What matters is, how you feel about it and what you want to do about it. It's your call as to when, how and whether or not you want to discuss your experiences with someone. If I've been too repetitive about something through the write-up, try and understand the level of disturbance that it caused to my mind. Try and understand that such incidents scar people for life and when they talk about it, they cannot sound like they rehearsed for it. They just talk. You just listen. And, offer support if they need it. <\/p>
If any of you reading the article has the views of people who blame the victim for sexual harassment, irrespective of your reasons, you can just shut yourselves out from the victim's life (or in general, though). They don't need such negativity. (The world doesn't need such negativity.) I've been harsh and stern while saying the last lines but honestly, in my opinion, people with the nature of victim-blaming don't even deserve this bit of politeness. Also, you don't get to tell someone whether their experience of being harassed is less scarring\/more scarring. Harassment is a crime. It doesn't depend on levels at which there can be excuses. <\/p>"}]
If time travel is possible where are the tourists from the future? <\/i><\/p>
Time travel is the strategy of going back in time to the past or forwards to the future to correct the mistakes you have done in your life or to know the future beforehand. Time travel has always fascinated humans. People have often wanted to go back in time because of regrets or mistakes. But I was getting attracted to the concept of time travel to visualize the scenes of the story narrated by my father \u2018\u2019How I Met Your Mother\u2019\u2019.<\/i><\/p>
The only way you can go back in time is the time travel itself. If time travel is possible, then will it be helpful for human beings to go back to the past.<\/p>
For many years time travel was the idea of fiction and science theory. This was all the part of the world\u2019s imagination until recently. Scientists now believe that the current laws of physics allow us to travel through time. But there is no time travel without paradox.\n\n<\/p>

What Is A Paradox <\/b><\/p>
A paradox is a proposition that leads to a conclusion that seems somewhat senseless or logically unacceptable. To make you all understand this in a better way I will use a personal theory of mine. When I really wanted to go back in time and see how my father met my mother it would be ridiculous because I won\u2019t exist before even they met each other. So this is highly impossible. <\/p>
And if at all I had to use a time machine to go back in time and change something in the past which would still remain worthless. I will explain it using an example.<\/p>
Since the rank I got in my Eamcet examination was not up to the mark, I landed up in some college but I wanted an even better one. I wanted to correct it using the concept of time travel. Now there are two possibilities here.<\/p>
1. I went back to the past using a time machine or some kind of magic and I started working even harder, studied day and night and got a good number in the examination and got into my dream college. Now, here I would meet a new set of friends and faculty. But, what would happen to my old peers and lecturers I met before time travel!!<\/p>
So, time travel can\u2019t be worth it because if you change something in the past, it will affect a lot in your future. The people you know in the past may not be the same people in the future as you have changed something in the past. Different theories are stating that there may be a parallel universe and other versions of us.<\/i><\/b><\/p>
2. If I want to time travel and change something in the past, I will not be able to do that, because you will not remember what had happened in your future and probably I would study the same way and would land up in the same college again.<\/p>
Life isn\u2019t 24 movie starring our favorite hero Surya where we can go back and change our past like him.<\/i> Though time travel is possible there would be a paradox that would make it impossible.<\/p>
Probably God is more powerful than humans and so we cannot change what is written in our fate. Come out of fantasies and start living in the practical world.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1569510663570","data":"5d8cd7bf635fe"}]
Putting wrong foot in the right sandal. Writing beleive instead of believe in english dictation. Not remembering the nine table in mathematics because we knew the 9 to 1 trick. Eating too much of horlicks and adding 2 more spoons of sugar in milk before drinking were the only wrong things that I was aware of at the age of 8.I had too little knowledge of too much to know that touching and being touched had a loving and predatory side to it. It was a hectic tuesday with humid air and sticky pigtails with little sweet smell of jhonsons shampoo in my brown hair. Grey Pinafore over white blouse with a small tie was the school\u2019s dress code. Sand ingrained in nails, eyes tired after a long day and after my shiny black shoes into brown after too much running was when we decided to take an auto back home. What would 2 kids, one 8 and the other 10 know about getting an auto. My brother and I ran towards the most facny looking auto and started our 20 minute journey. Being the little brat sister, I had the privilege to drown in sleep during our ride back home whilst older brother duties of getting back home safe were being taken care of. But my sleep was soon out of the water when the driver offered me to sit with him in the front. He bribed me with handful of eclair chocolate.Soon I was sitting with him in front, devouring the chocolates that couldn\u2019t even fit into my fist. I remember he\u2019d ask me questions like my favourite color, best friend\u2019s name, number of moles on my body, favourite food, the color of my nail paint and my underwear, favourite parent, favourite rhyme and favourite teacher touching me all this while. My back touching his chest, hands on his lap, his nose in my hair, my body between his legs and his toes touching my bare legs. I was oblivious to what was happening to me all the way back home. It didn\u2019t feel right but it also didn\u2019t feel wrong. He also promised me that it was our little secret which couldn\u2019t be shared with anyone and it was only for the lucky ones like me who\u2019d get a chance to experience it. I remember his impure touch, the chills and the sweet taste of the chocolate which is now unholy, impure and gut wrenching. A part of the sexual harassment is that it made think it was my fault because I answered him. It was my fault because I pushed the incident down for 6-8 years, denying to the fact that I was only 8 years old and I had no knowledge whatsoever of what was actually happening. It was my fault because I was a unaware of what was happening to me. It was my fault because I was sold in the name of chocolates. My fault because I was a girl, wearing knee length pinafore and tight socks. This is what harassment does to you. It breaks you, takes you, makes you into a guilt-stricken person that will always flinch and the dodge the hands of people who dares to touch.<\/p>"}]
One of incidents that burned in my memory. I was running through the downtown in a small city where I went to college. I was standing on a street corner with another woman waiting for the walk sign to turn. During the red light, a car with four college-aged kids started screaming in my direction. I heard, \" Hey, running girl, nice ass. You should go to formal with my friend! \" The red light seemed to last forever, while they yelled things like \"You can wear that if you want\",\"look at those legs\" and it's tomorrow night, can you come?! \" I felt humiliated, and I tooked to the woman next to me for some comfort in this shared moment. She didn't make eye contact, avoided looking at me or the car. When the light finally turned green, they screeched away, and I turned to woman and she looked at me, turned red, and quickly went away without saying anything. The worst part about the whole thing, honestly, is when I think back to the woman I was standing with. Obviously, I don't ever want to be treated that way, but I also don't want men turning women against each other. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569426390907},{"id":1569427553649,"type":"img","data":"5d8b90613b471"}]
I still remember that day! He asked me to sign for a post my family received. While I was searching for a pen, he offered one out of his pocket. He took me to a corner of our staircase, handed over some papers and said he would give me a chocolate. Little did I see the change in shade of his eyes. That postman \"Bhaiyya\" was blinded by lust, enough to forget that, what he was going to do at that moment would leave a kid helpless. His hands started crawling on my body, creeping me out at every place he touched. I pleaded him to leave me with tears rolling on my cheeks but his heart was so numb to understand the pain in my eyes. He then started unzipping his pants and tea-bagged me for a couple of minutes, gripping my wrist to ensure I wasn't running away. Within few minutes, he took away my worth, my intimacy and most importantly, my voice. A flood of mixtured emotions, my helplessness in not understanding that toxic foreign touch on my body clouded my heart silencing my tongue from screaming. Gathering up that little courage left in me, I pushed him away from me and ran into my room, hiding behind a door for straight two hours until I understood he left the place. Years passed, but that remained as a nightmare. Regret and self blame followed me everywhere, doubting every person I come across. Growing up with messages like, \"SEND BOBS AND VAGENE\" were indeed becoming common in 8 out of every 10 girls around me. Is this harassment or sexual terrorism? The main reason behind sharing an incident of my life is that it's not just me alone, but there are so many unheard stories hiding behind shadows of societal pressures, insecurity etc. Among all the people in the world, a highest of 54 percentage of victims of sexual assault are under the age of 30. With each passing day, harassments have taken various forms like Visual, Physical, Mental etc. Living in a society that brushes things under the rug rather than facing them. We can understand how much of an impact it creates when even the most powerful souls hesitate to speak up. Luckily, the modern world has brought up mediums like SHE teams, METOO movements, counselling processes and helplines that are trying to build in courage for people to share their pain. Be it a kid, man, woman or any person should never feel victimized to share their story, because we never know who might need some warmth and light to talk it out. There is always a good day after a bad one! and everyone of us are strong enough to pick ourselves up and move on from things toxic to our well being. Let us all allow positivity to guide us and strengthen us and make us a better person with each passing day.<\/p>"}]
It's no more called Eve-Teasing or Harassment, everything comes under Sexual Abuse.<\/i><\/p>
Records or Surveys reveal that it is obvious for a woman to become the victim of sexual harassment at least once in their lifetime. As so even I faced it a few years ago.<\/p>
I was in my 12th standard where I was supposed to walk almost 2km from the bus stop to reach my college. As usual, one day I was on my way to college where I noticed a guy following me, I was panicked and started walking even faster and he continued to follow me matching my pace. I went inside the college and so watchman stopped him from entering inside. He did the same when I was on my way of returning home.<\/p>
The next day I was scared of the same thing that it may repeat so I tied a scarf to cover my face but he still did the same and the second day he was not just following me but walking my side asking me to give my number or to tell my name, but I just continued walking straight looking down. The saddest part was though a few people walking on the road noticed it no one bothered to stop him and question him!!!<\/p>
On the third day, I was scared so I just stayed at home and when my mom asked about it I told her that I thought he would just stop following me after a day but he continued to do so and I'm afraid of walking along the same path again. The next day my dad accompanied me till the college and so he stopped following me from then.<\/p>
Not only this single case there are many more as such, like, I used to get a harassing call from an unknown number and whenever I blocked him he would call me again with a new number. It all stopped when my dad called and warned him.<\/p>
And even I get to hear a lot of comments while walking on roads and the looks of men when I'm standing alone in a bus stand.<\/p>
I just wanted to say one thing to all the girls, when all this happens just do not keep silent, speak out and remember that you are not alone and you have at least one person to rescue you from it. There's also a movement that started in India called #MeToo<\/b>, where many women in the news media, Indian films, and even within the government came to speak out and bring allegations of sexual harassment against several perpetrators.<\/p>
And, to the society, every girl you find with trouble near your surroundings just go and try to help her as she is equally important to her family like how your family members are important to you!<\/p>
\"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter\"<\/b>.<\/p>"}]
CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer AVIONS MARCEL DASSAULT, at that time customer of the CADAM software[1] to develop Dassault's Mirage fighter jet. It was later adopted by the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and other industries.\n\nInitially named CATI (conception assist\u00e9e tridimensionnelle interactive \u2013 French for interactive aided three-dimensional design ), it was renamed CATIA in 1981 when Dassault created a subsidiary to develop and sell the software and signed a non-exclusive distribution agreement with IBM.[2]\n\nIn 1984, the Boeing Company chose CATIA V2 as its main 3D CAD tool, becoming its largest customer.\n\nIn 1988, CATIA V3 was ported from mainframe computers to Unix.\n\nIn 1990, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp chose CATIA as its main 3D CAD tool to design the U.S. Navy's Virginia class submarine[3][4][5]. Also, Lockheed was selling its CADAM system worldwide through the channel of IBM since 1978.\n\nIn 1992, CADAM was purchased from IBM, and the next year CATIA CADAM V4 was published.\n\nIn 1996, it was ported from one to four Unix operating systems, including IBM AIX, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Sun Microsystems SunOS, and Hewlett-Packard HP-UX.\n\nIn 1998, V5 was released and was an entirely rewritten version of CATIA with support for UNIX, Windows NT and Windows XP (since 2001).[6]\n\nIn the years prior to 2000, problems caused by incompatibility between versions of CATIA (Version 4 and Version 5) led to $6.1B in additional costs due to years of project delays in production of the Airbus A380.[7]\n\nIn 2008, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes released CATIA V6.[8] While the server can run on Microsoft Windows, Linux or AIX, client support for any operating system other than Microsoft Windows was dropped.[9]\n\nIn November 2010, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes launched CATIA V6R2011x, the latest release of its PLM2.0 platform, while continuing to support and improve its CATIA V5 software.\n\nIn June 2011, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes launched V6 R2012.\n\nIn 2012, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes launched V6 2013x.\n\nIn 2014, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes launched 3DEXPERIENCE Platform R2014x [10] and CATIA on the Cloud, a cloud version of its software.[11][12]\n\nIn 2018, Dassault Syst\u00e8mes launched 3DExperience Marketplaces to connect CATIA Users, with manufacturers, standard parts creators and engineers.[13]\n\nIn 2019, 3DExperience Marketplaces launched an Add-in in Catia, to connect directly manufacturers with designers.[14]\n\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569419969958},{"id":1569420042913,"type":"img","data":"5d8b730b51711"},{"id":1569420031346,"type":"img","data":"5d8b72ffbbb74"},{"id":1569420016638,"type":"img","data":"5d8b72f106384"}]
Once upon a time there was a king with four wives, one day king got sick and was on his death bed.He was afraid of being in the afterlife alone so he asked his fourth wife which he loved the most and bought her diamonds, gold and elegant clothing. He asked her would you die with me? and go with me to the afterlife?The\u00a0fourth wife\u00a0replied I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t do that and walked away.He also loved his third wife he was very proud and would show her off to neighbouring kingdoms, so he called on his third wife and asked would you accompany me to the afterlife.The\u00a0third wife\u00a0replied I love my life too much. I\u2019m sorry I cannot go with you and when you die I\u2019m going to remarry. His second wife has always been there for him in his times of need, so he asked would you accompany me to the afterlife?The\u00a0second wife\u00a0then replied I\u2019m sorry that I can\u2019t help you out this time, but what I can do is arrange your funeral and I will be there for your funeral.A voice called out and said. I\u2019ll leave with you and follow you wherever you go even if it is to the afterlife.The King looked it was his\u00a0first wife, but this was the wife that he took care of the least. He felt embarrassed and said I\u2019m sorry I should\u2019ve taken better care of you and given you more attention when I was alive.\n\nThe moral of this story is that WE ALL HAVE FOUR WIVES..\n\nOur fourth wife is\u00a0our body, we like to decorate it with nice jewellery, nice clothing but at the end it can\u2019t follow us to the afterlife.\n\nThe Third wife represents\u00a0our possessions, we spend so much time trying to gather possessions but in the end they cannot follow us to the afterlife and it will be given to other people just like the third wife said she\u2019s going to remarry.\n\nThe second wife is\u00a0our friends and family. We trust them they\u2019re always there for us in times of need, but the farthest they can go with us is to our funeral and send us off.\n\nThe first wife represents\u00a0our soul, we usually neglect taking care of our soul but that is the thing that will follow us to the afterlife.\n\nCare for your body, keep it healthy. Enjoy your possessions and the comfort they provide. Cherish your friends and family for the love that they provide, But don\u2019t forget to take care of your soul, nourish your soul.\n\nTake time to be alone. Take time to pray. Take time to meditate. Because it is the source of all your life and your most faithful friend.\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569399594350}]
Soon the Indian subcontinent is going to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of the father of this nation mahatma Gandhi....By now many abhiyans have been introduced by the govt. of India to celebrate this event with pomp and glory. Already events like swachh Bharat have shown their mark in the way of tribute. In this context we all must consider some aspects regarding India...those occupy the top rows of chart when any other nation's people speak of our country..<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569317603934},{"data":"
All of us have been hearing this line since childhood \"India is a developing country\"..I have heard it lots of times and I guess you all have too...we see other developed countries flying off earth unto mars before us and fail in doing so..as a developing country we try and launch mangalyan to the mars because we are a developing country...we try to overcome all our economic faults to flourish India in brighter paths..<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569317952539},{"data":"
Yet India doesn't top the table..it doesn't mark up the world with its methods and it has not yet become a developed country..all the folk speak abroad for studies, for jobs and even compare the culture of India to the nation they visited but don't realise they are so because most of our Indian geniuses are residing there..WHY?? India is considered to have taught the world culture, the art of living, it taught the world to love and it has once been the richest country in the globe...we introduced lipis and we showed the world the way of unity in diversity..<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569319626167},{"data":"
We count on slower development whenever the government changes..we always fight against each other in the houses rather discuss the ways to solve problems..we have lots of places to ask justice for but still we see people left unseen..we have a very good figure of upsc graduates but still we see lots of criminals walking on roads with us..we teach the culture of respecting women yet we receive a lots of news on abuse and rapes on daily basis....WHY??<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1569319985209},{"data":"
Is it because we believe that even if hundreds of criminals are loosened there must be no punishment for an innocent or because we give everyone and everything a second chance to change and repent for...or are we really not capable for something tough? \nNo!!it's because we believe in people..if it is for tough decisions..we couldn't have got ban on currency and latest restriction of article 375.. we are capable of the toughest but we believe in live and let live..we curse the government for things that are bad but we don't realise we make them worse..if ever you really think of tributing the great warriors of India, who stood like rocks for our freedom.. today NASA is proposing to tie up with ISRO for launching satellite to sun is also a major recognition for Indian brains.. as a team we are able achieve such greater heights then why not as individuals? do it by changing your deeds, raise your tolerance levels and the way you see things..I have started my part it's your turn to join me...ask yourselves what are we proud of..development or decaying deeds which stops India back at the race?

AutoCAD<\/b> is a commercial computer-aided design application developed by Autodesk. It is specially a desktop app running on micro computers with internal graphic controller. It also has pre-defined commands which are used to design.<\/p>
AutoCAD<\/i> is generally used in industries, by Architects, engineers, graphic designers, city planners and professionals. Before you design it will ask in which field you want to design. The commands and units are different for each field. AutoCAD<\/i> is licensed and it is first designed for Windows software. It also has features like 2D, 3D and 3D max. <\/p>
Here are some of my AutoCAD designs: first is basically called as Plan which is 2D and next is Royal Enfield front elevation and last is 3D football.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1569329744095","data":"5d8a19fa5497a"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1569329744097","data":"5d8a1a33e8353"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1569329744098","data":"5d8a1a40eb537"}]
