Muslim scientists and scholars have contributed immensely to human knowledge especially in the period between 8th and 14th century CE. However, their contributions have been largely ignored, forgotten or have gone un-acknowledged.
I would like to share my few collections through CP. So, people can read fascinating accounts of some of the most talented Muslim scholars in history whose contributions have left lasting marks in the annals of science, astronomy, medicine, surgery, engineering and philosophy.

Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create positive or negative feelings. As a positive influence, stress can help compel us to action; it can result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective. As a negative influence, it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. With the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, a job promotion, or a new relationship, we experience stress as we readjust our lives. In so adjusting to different circumstances, stress will help or hinder us depending on how we react to it.

W32/Sobig.f@MM VIRUS (High Risk) A new variant of W32/Sobig, W32/Sobig.f@MM is a High Risk mass-mailing worm. It arrives as an email attachment with a .pif or .scr extension. When run, it infects the host computer, then emails itself (using its own SMTP engine) to harvested email addresses from the victim's machine. In addition, when it propagates, the worm "spoofs" the "from: field", using one of the harvested email addresses. So exercise care when opening emails with attachments. An infected email can come from addresses you recognize. Because it sends so many emails, a worm like Sobig also saps bandwidth and slows network performance. Worse, it can also open up a user's computer port, making it vulnerable to hackers, who can plant dangerous Trojans. These malicious programs often let unauthorized users remotely take over a system, steal personal information or use the infected PC to send spam. Get the checker and cleaner Click here

We receive so many emails from CP members and anonymous visitors from KSA about financial help to assist them in various personal and family related problems. Please note that we have a policy to entertain such requests. Here are few points to share with our brothers and sisters to make sure that rules are followed before submitting requests.

1) All submitted requests are subject to physical verification by our team members.
2) There are no exceptions / favors / Safarush / wasta. In fact such requests are completely ignored. CP members are welcomed to recommend a case and rest be assured that we will process a request in the manner as our policy dictates.
3) We do not offer direct financial assistance to any member / organization unless endorsed by local team and approved by global team.
4) In most cases our help is limited to verification and endorsement of a case. Our help is then limited to announcing it to the community to offer direct help to needy.
5) Our role in all such cases remains to be a platform that endorses genuine help requests and then it is entirely up to a member to decide, should he or she would like to offer financial help. We let our members to be the judge to their decisions. We strongly believe that such cases should not be public and no other person should know except the person who is helping and the person who is being helped. Other reason is that we like our members to make sure that their money is gone to someone whom they believe to be the right case to get financial help from them. Do listen to us but decide yourself.
6) Where ever CP team members offer help, it comes from our financial resources and no donation appeal is made to any member across the globe.

We hope above clears confusion about our role in financial help. We like our members to  know that each help request passes through extensive verification process before an appeal is made to our members.
In any case no CP member or team member is to be involved in collecting or giving away money.

Why to have screen savers of others why not have your own country's beauties. Be proud to show your country and help your country!

 TEN TIPS WHY SHOULD YOU DRINK MORE WATER
Every system in your body depends on water?  You should make drinking 8-10 glasses of water part of your daily routine.
1. Get healthy skin. Drinking water moisturizes your skin from the inside out. Water is essential to maintaining elasticity and suppleness and helps prevent dryness.
2. Lose weight. Increased water consumption can help you control weight by preventing you from confusing hunger with thirst. Water will also keep your body systems working properly, including metabolism and digestion, and give you the energy (and hydration) necessary for exercise.
3. Flush toxins. By helping to flush toxins, appropriate water intake lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver.
4. Reduce your risk of a heart attack. Researchers have found that people who drink more than five glasses of water a day were less likely to die from a heart attack or heart disease than those who drank fewer than two glasses a day.
5. Lubricate your joints and muscles. Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles. Drinking water before, during, and after exercise can also help reduce muscle cramping and premature fatigue.
6. Stay regular. Water helps prevent constipation by adding fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.
7. Stay hydrated, get energized, and be alert. On average, most adults lose about 10 cups of fluid a day through sweating, exhaling, urinating, and bowel movements. Even minor dehydration can cause impaired concentration, headaches, irritability, and fatigue.
8. Regulate your body temperature. Perspiration is your body's natural mechanism to control body temperature. And to sweat, you need plenty of water.
9. Reduce your risk of disease and infection Water can help prevent kidney stones and reduce your chances of getting bladder, kidney, and urinary tract infections. One study found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day had a risk of colon cancer that was 45 percent less than those who drank two or fewer glasses a day.
10. Get well. The traditional prescription to "drink plenty of fluids" when you're sick still holds strong. Water can help control a fever, replace lost fluids, and thin out mucus.
