Poetry by Joyce Armor

Excuses, Excuses

I couldn't do my homework.
I had asthma and was wheezing.
I had nosebleeds, measles, heat rash,
with some very painful sneezing,
and itchy skin with blisters-
oh so blotchy red and hivy-
malaria and toothaches,
and a patch of poison ivy,
eight spider bites and hair loss,
and a broken leg with scabies,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever,
and a full-blown case of rabies.
I suffered-it was awful-
but I'm feeling better now.
Could I have done my homework?
No, I really don't see how.

INTERESTING SCIENCE HISTORY

JABIR- IBN-E- HAYYAN
Jabir Ibn Hayyan is known as “Father of Chemistry”. Abu Musa Jabir Ibn Hayyan, , was the son of the druggist (Attar).He practiced medicine and alchemy in Kufa around 776 C.E. He studied under Imam Ja'far Sadiq and the Umayyad prince Khalid Ibn Yazid. Jabir's major contribution was in the field of chemistry. He introduced experimental investigation into alchemy, which rapidly changed its character into modern chemistry. On the ruins of his well-known laboratory remained after centuries, but his fame rests on over 100 monumental treatises, of which 22 relate to chemistry and alchemy. His contribution of fundamental importance to chemistry includes perfection of scientific techniques such as crystalization, distillation, calcinations, sublimation and evaporation and development of several instruments for the same. The fact of early development of chemistry as a distinct branch of science by the Arabs, instead of the earlier vague ideas, is well-established and the very name chemistry is derived from the Arabic word al-Kimya, which was studied and developed extensively by the Muslim scientists. His major practical achievement was the discovery of mineral and others acids. Apart from chemistry, he also contributed to other sciences such as medicine and astronomy. His books on chemistry, including his Kitab-al-Kimya, and Kitab al-Sab'een were translated into Latin and various European languages. These translations were popular in Europe for several centuries and have influenced the evolution of modern chemistry. Several technical terms devised by Jabir, such as alkali, are today found in various European languages and have become part of scientific vocabulary. In the words of Max Mayerhaff, the development of chemistry in Europe can be traced directly to Jabir Ibn Hayyan.

Fruits and Vegetables

Cherry
Hmmm… Mouth watering for a cherry? Yes it will be. Well today let’s study them and find a great deal of information about this red fruit. Cherry is a small red fruit from the family of Rosaceae. Cherry trees are deciduous trees that vary in size, ranging from 6 to 30 feet tall (9m). They bear pink blossoms in the spring, and then bear fruit. Depending on the type of tree, the fruit is either very sweet or very sour. The bark of the cherry tree is a reddish brown color. Its leaves are usually 2 to 6 inches long and vary from pale to a very dark green. The bark also has distinct markings called lenticels. In the fall, the leaves of the cherry tree change into brilliant reds, pinks and oranges. Cherries grow throughout most of North America, Asia and Europe. They can also be found in Northern Africa. It is thought that the cherry tree originates from Asia. Cherries are high in antioxidants, help reduce the risk of cancer, inflammatory problems, and heart disease. They are low in fat, calories, and have a high water. Cherries also contain melatonin, which helps slow the aging process and helps regulate sleep patterns. Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Bioflavonoid, Perillyl, Anthocyanins and Melatonin. Now for those who don’t eat cherries (there maybe a large number) if understood the benefits would certainly eat cherries, won’t you???

Poem - My Country is my identity - By Shafia Abbasi

My Country is my identity, My Pride, My love!!!

Pakistan is my country
Welfare is my culture
Peace is my command
Cease fire is my demand

Mr. Jinnah is my pride
Restlessness is my enemy
But every body wants to roam
For agitation on the road

All people are foolish
They behave like monkeys
Some are men
But majority donkeys

I lost my glory
I lost my dignity
Where is my pride?
Where is my peaceful country?

Questions and Answers

How does pressure effect weather?

Weather easily is defined as the air or atmosphere is like at that time. Air pressure differs across all parts of the Earth’s surface and this difference causes winds. Air moves from the area where high pressure (also called anticyclone) or to an area where low pressure (also called depression) is present. Low pressures or depressions are mostly connected with bad weather conditions and rainfall. A barometer measures these changes in air pressure.

POEM by Zainab Anwar

POEM THE MEANING OF LIFE

One day I met a wise old an
Who was sitting in the park
And there upon the bench with him
We talked ‘till early dark

He told me of his travels
To a far off distant land
Where the secret meaning of our lives
Was taught to him first hand

I listened to his story
Amazed by what he said
The simple truth of which he spoke
Was knowledge not widespread

In great detail he did explain
What life was all about
And how the answer we do seek
We don’t have to be without

There was something in his message
That I could not reject
A wisdom that I understood
So simple and direct

My life forever has been changed
By the words I heard that day
A concept old as life itself
And by far the one true way

An answer to the question why
And the reason we exist
Solutions I would not now
If my walk that that was missed

AL QURAN

They say, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?” Say, “You have an appointment of a day, which you will be unable to postpone for a moment, nor bring forward.” (Surah Saba: 29-30)

Those who reject the advent of Judgment day (Qiyamah) ask, “When will this promise [of Judgment day (Qiyamah)] be fulfilled, if you are truthful?” These people intend to say that, since Judgment day (Qiyamah) has not yet occurred, a date has to be set for it, and, if no one is aware of the date, it means that it will never occur. Such reasoning is both foolish and childish.Allah replies to them saying, “Say, ‘You have an appointment of a day, which you will be unable to postpone for a moment, nor bring forward.” The fact that Judgment day (Qiyamah) has not yet arrived does not mean that it will not take place.

AL HADITH

Abu Hurairah (radhiasllahu unh) said: The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "The most disgraceful man near Allah is a man who calls himself (or likes others to call him) Malikul-Amlak (i.e., king of kings).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Allah appreciates humility and humbleness and abhors pride and haughtiness. To arrogate to oneself the title of `The king of kings' reflects pride and not humility and is, therefore, forbidden. Moreover, this is an exclusive attribute of Allah and it is unjust to associate it with any one else

Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, O Please!
A song of ships, and sailor men,
And parrots, and tropical trees,
Of islands lost in the Spanish Main
Which no man ever may find again,
Of fishes and corals under the waves,
And seahorses stabled in great green caves.
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works in Microsoft, writing error messages.

The Best Flower

In a beautiful field of flowers there were three flowers that were liked a lot. Those flowers were Daisy, Lily, and Rose. They were the prettiest flowers in the whole field. All the other flowers would watch them, wishing they could be just like them.
One day, Daisy, Lily, and Rose were fighting over who was liked the most.
“All the flowers like me the best!” Rose said. “I am the prettiest flower.”
“No, I am! Look at my shining white petals!” assured Daisy.
Lily shook her leaves. “Everyone talks about me the most,” she said
The three flowers continued to bicker. One by one, the other flowers stopped watching them. The other flowers thought that they were rude. They did not want to be like Rose, Lily, and Daisy anymore, because those three flowers were ugly on the inside. The rest of the flowers saw past their prettiness and realized that they were not as great as the other flowers thought they were.
Instead, they watched a flower named Marigold. Marigold would never bicker, and she helped everyone. She accepted gifts gracefully and smiled a lot. She was the nicest flower in the whole field. Lily, Daisy, and Rose soon realized that no flowers watched them anymore.

“We used to be the most liked flowers. What happened?” asked Lily.
“No one likes a fighting flower! We fought and were selfish, so no flower likes us!” said Daisy.
“Yes.” Lily agreed. “Marigold is very nice. I want to be more like her. She seems much happier than we are.”
Then Rose said, “How foolish we are! Let’s be friends again and never argue over who is the best ever again.

Interesting Science History

Al-Khwarizmi

Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician, astronomer and geographer, a scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. He was famous of Treatises on algebra and Indian numerals. In Ibn al-Nadīm's Kitāb al-Fihrist we find a short biography on al-Khwārizmī, together with a list of the books he wrote. Al-Khwārizmī accomplished most of his work in the period between 813 and 833. After the Islamic conquest of Persia, Baghdad became the centre of scientific studies and trade, and many merchants and scientists from as far as China and India traveled to this city, as did Al-Khwārizmī. He worked in Baghdad as a scholar at the House of Wisdom established by Caliph al-Mamūn, where he studied the sciences and mathematics, which included the translation of Greek and Sanskrit scientific manuscripts. Al-Khwārizmī's contributions to mathematics, geography, astronomy, and cartography established the basis for innovation in algebra and trigonometry. His systematic approach to solving linear and quadratic equations led to algebra, A crater on the far side of the moon was named after him and an Iranian award was also named after him. If he didn’t worked out algebra, avery important thing of maths would we even have the basic

Fruits and Vegetables

Turnips
Turnip is essentially a root vegetable that is a member of the Cruciferae family. This vegetable is usually grown in regions that experience temperate climates. Turnips provide an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, manganese, pantothenic acid, and copper. They also offer a very good source of thiamine, potassium, niacin, and magnesium. In addition, they are a good
source of vitamin B6 and E, folic acid, and riboflavin.
Turnip greens are more nutrition dense than the root. The greens provide an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, C, E, folic acid, calcium, copper, fiber, and manganese.The most common type of turnip is mostly white-skinned apart from the upper 1–6 centimeters, which protrude above the ground and are purple, red, or greenish wherever sunlight has fallen. This above-ground part develops from stem tissue, but is fused with the root. The interior flesh is entirely white. The entire root is roughly conical, but can be occasionally tomato-shaped, about 5–20 centimeters in diameter, and lacks side roots. The turnip was a well-established crop in Hellenistic and Roman times, which leads to the assumption that it was brought into cultivation earlier.

A fault caused him financial difficulties throughout his life. Charles had an older brother Frances, known as Fanny, and younger siblings Alfred Allen, Letitia Mary, Harriet, Frederick William known as Fred, Alfred Lamert, and Augustus Newnham. In 1827 the Dickens were evicted from their home in Somers Town for unpaid rent dues and Charles had to leave school. He obtained a job as a clerk in the law firm of Ellis and Blackmore. In 1833, his first story of many, “A Dinner at Poplar Walk” was published in the Monthly Magazine. He married Catherine Hogarth, daughter of the editor of the Evening Chronicle on 2 April,1836. Most of his novels were first serialized in monthly magazines as was a common practice of the time. Oliver Twist between 1837 and 1839 was followed by Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-1841), and Barnaby Rudge (1841). Dickens’ series of five Christmas Books were soon to follow; A Christmas Carol (1843), The Chimes (1844), The Cricket on the Hearth (1845), The Battle of Life (1846), and The Haunted Man (1848. Dombey and Son (1846) was his next publication, followed by David Copperfield (1849). In 1850 he started his own weekly journal Household Words which would be in circulation for the next nine years. From 1851 to 1860 the Dickens lived at Tavistock House where Charles became heavily involved in amateur theatre. By now Dickens was widely read in Europe and in 1858 he set off on a tour of public readings. A year later he founded his second weekly journal All the Year Round, the same year A Tale of Two Cities (1859) was first serialised. Great Expectations (1860-1861) was followed by Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865). Charles Dickens died from a cerebral hemorrhage on 9 June 1870 at his home, Gad’s Hill.

POETRY

LUCY'S SONG

How beautiful at eventide
To see the twilight shadows pale,
Steal o'er the landscape, far and wide,
O'er stream and meadow, mound and dale!
How soft is Nature's calm repose
When ev'ning skies their cool dews weep:
The gentlest wind more gently blows,
As if to soothe her in her sleep!
The gay morn breaks,
Mists roll away,
All Nature awakes
To glorious day.
In my breast alone
Dark shadows remain;
The peace it has known
It can never regain.
