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.

Mouse Cleaning Disconnect the mouse from the computer noting the location of the connection so it can be reattached easily later. Clean the outside casing of the mouse with a damp cloth moistened with a mild cleaning solution. If you have an optical mouse, your cleaning chore will then be completed. If, however, you have a mouse with a ball on the bottom, your mouse cleaning has just begun. Turn your mouse over and rotate the little donut shaped disk and remove the ball that is inside of the mouse. A soft dry cloth is usually adequate for cleaning the ball itself. If the ball looks really dirty you can clean it with some water and dry it thoroughly. The problem is usually caused not by the ball, but by dirt in the areas that touch the ball. If you look inside the bottom of the mouse after the ball has been removed, you will see some sort of small bars or rollers that the ball touches as it rotates. Dip a cotton swab in water or isopropyl alcohol and clean all the dirt off these bars. If your mouse is really dirty, you will have to go over the dirty areas several times before all the dirt is removed.
