Review: Musalmano ke Sciencee Karnamey

Musalmano Ke Sciencee Karname is an Urdu book regarding the exploits of Muslim Scientists in the last 500 years. Historical weave and brief history of inventions and amazing work of Muslim Scholars and Scientists. This book was written by Muhammad Zakaria Virk.
Let us look what discoveries or inventions were made by Muslims but are attributed to European scholars. There could be more, I could find only these.
(1)   It is stated that Roger Bacon of England was the first person to draw a diagram for a flying machine, and thought of human flight. Leonardo da Vinci had prepared prototypes of flying machines. The truth is Islamic Spain’s engineer, inventor and aviator Abbas ibn Firnas (d.887) was the first person in history to make a flying machine in Cordoba. He made a glider (or used vulture feathers as wings) with which he flew off a hill in Cordoba and was air-born for few minutes. Upon landing he suffered injuries, because he did not have a tail on the glider, the way birds use their tail upon landing.
(2)   Roger Bacon’s masterpiece Opus Majus, fifth chapter is exact copy of ibn al-Haytham’sKitab al-Manzir. This book is available in Queen’s Library, Kingston, I have studied it. Part V is titled Optical science in which he presented ideas of al-Haytham, ibn Sena and ibn Rushd many times.
(3)    It is said in the West that glass mirrors were made in Venice in the 13th century i.e 1291. The fact is that glass mirrors were made in Islamic Spain in the 11th century. People of Venice gained the technical knowledge for glass making from Syria.
(4)    It is said that first mechanical clock was made in Milan, Italy which was weight driven. Will Durant says in his Age of Faith, first clock was made by Ibn Firnas (810-887) in Cordoba in 9th century. Clocks were made during the time of Caliph Haroon al-Rashid, who had sent a clock as a gift to King Charlemagne of France. Europeans gain knowledge of clock making from the Latin translations of Arabic books.
(5)   It is said Galileo was the first person to have invented pendulum. The truth is that Ibn Yunus al-Sadafi al-Misri (950-1009) had invented pendulum in Cairo in the 10th century for time measurement. In his book he had described oscillatory motion. Muslim clock makers used pendulum in their clocks in the 15th century. (Recent research shows this is based on nothing more than an error made in 1684 by the Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford and Arabist Edward Bernard)
(6)   Astronomer and mathematician ibn Yunus expressed the solutions in his zij without mathematical symbols, but Delambre noted in his 1819 translation of the Hakemite tables al-Zij al-Kabir al-Hakimithat two of Ibn Yunus' methods for determining the time from solar or stellar altitude were equivalent to the trigonometric identity 2cos(a)cos(b) = cos(a+b)+cos(a-b) identified in Johannes Werner's 16th-century manuscript on conic sections. Now recognized as one of Werner's formulas, it was essential for the development of prosthaphaeresis and logarithms decades later.
(7)   Ibn Yunus's observations on conjunctions and eclipses were used in Richard Dunthorne and Simon Newcombs' respective calculations of the secular acceleration of the moon. 
(8)    Iraqi scientist Yaqoob al-Kindi (800-870) invented a discipline of medicine called posology which dealt with the dosages of the drugs. Dosages for the drugs were a guessing game in the ancient world. He formulated an easy to use table that pharmacists could refer to when filling out a prescription.
(9)   Ibn al-Haitham (965-1040) did extensive investigations on light, lenses and camera obscura (dark room Arabic: Bait-e-Muzlima). In fact he invented the pin-hole camera. It is said that Newton was the first person to have stated that white light consists of various colours. The fact is that this discovery was made by ibn al-Haitham and Kamaluddin Farsi, who prepared an edited version of Kitab al-Manazir, titled Tanqih al-Manazir.  Ibn al-Haitham is rightly called father of modern optics.
(10)   Psychology of perception: Ibn al-Haytham realized, states Professor Charles Gross in his book Brian, Vision, Memory, that a series of logical inferences must occur before sensation can be transformed by the brain into perception. He stressed that the speed of perception demands that these inferences themselves be imperceptible; that is, unconscious to the observer. This is a clear adumbration of Helmholtz's theory of unconscious inference that played so major a role in the 19th century and continues to pervade the modern study of vision. It would be valuable to explore to what extent Helmholtz was aware of Ibn al-Haytham's ideas on the role of unconscious inference in perception. Helmholtz does cite Alhazen in other contexts, such as when reviewing previous explanations of the moon illusion. Furthermore, Ibn al-Haytham's use of the time required for a perception has, in the last decade, become one of the principal methods for analyzing the "unconscious inferences" that underlie perception.

al Qaeda's top people in Pakistan. The full story of that investigation needs to be told, because it represents one of our greatest victories in the war on terror. I will relate it in full in these pages. But first, you need to know how I came to be the man the assassins were targeting. The story of my life coincides almost from the beginning with the story of my country—so the chapters that follow are a biography not only of a man, but of Pakistan as well.

Review: 101 Basics to Search Engine Optimization

101 Basics to Search Engine Optimization describes what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is, and the ways in which it can be used.this book provide you with the basics on using Search Engine Optimization in order to improve traffic flow to your site. For many people, SEO is considered to be a part of search engine marketing.

In this book, we will look at what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is, and the ways in which it can be used. Through this book, we will provide you with the basics on using Search Engine Optimization in order to improve traffic flow to your site. For many people, SEO is considered to be a part of search engine marketing. It is often used when people are describing a process for improving the amount of traffic that goes to a website from various different search engines. Many site owners will engage in using SEO in an attempt to obtain qualified visitors to their site. The quality of these visitors will often be measured by what specific keywords they are using in order to reach the desired result they want, such as making a purchase, or it could just viewing or downloading a particular page on that site. It may be that the visitor just requests some further information, or they sign up to a newsletter. Search Engine Optimization is a marketing strategy which can often generate a good return for the site. But what must be remembered is that search engines are not actually paid for the traffic they send to a site from a natural (organic) search. Plus, they will regularly change the algorithms that they use for these searches to be carried in an effort to improve the results for people using their search engine. 
In fact, there is no guarantee that using this system is successful in either the long or short term for any website. Because of this, SEO is often compared to traditional forms of PR (Public Relations), while PPC (Pay per Click) advertising is more closely associated with traditional forms of advertising.
However, even if you do find you have increased traffic to your site because of SEO, if your site is unprepared for this increased traffic, it may in fact be detrimental to your site, as visitors will go away feeling dissatisfied and will not
return. But though SEO can be considered as a marketing tactic which is a law unto itself, it is often considered to part of the bigger picture by many industry experts.

Learn English Tenses in Urdu Review:

Learn English Tenses in Urdu is a small english grammar book by Fazal Amin for language students.Grammar is the backbone of any language one want to learn, here we have given all the tenses of English language in Urdu, so read online or free download for offline reading.there are thousands of books available throughout internet and they have different difficulty levels.however we can place this book in difficulty level 1.
In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns.
Basic tenses found in many languages include the past, present and future. Some languages have only two distinct tenses, such as past and non-past, or future and non-future. There are also tenseless languages, like Chinese, which do not have tense at all. On the other hand, some languages make finer tense distinctions, such as remote vs. recent past, or near vs. remote future.
Tenses generally express time relative to the moment of speaking. In some contexts, however, their meaning may be relativised to a point in the past or future which is established in the discourse (the moment being spoken about). This is called relative(as opposed to absolute) tense. Some languages have different verb forms or constructions which manifest relative tense, such as pluperfect ("past-in-the-past") and "future-in-the-past".
Expressions of tense are often closely connected with expressions of the category of aspect; sometimes what are traditionally called tenses (in languages such as Latin) may in modern analysis be regarded as combinations of tense with aspect. Verbs are also often conjugated for mood, and since in many cases the three categories are not manifested separately, some languages may be described in terms of a combined tense–aspect–mood (TAM) system.
