Some months ago I stumbled upon the excellent quiz site purposegames.com. It is a site that adheres to the web 2.0 principles of letting you all add games to the site and build a community around it, and it is also made by a single person. The site was started in 2006 by David Andersson and now has 13,768 games, 124 groups and 29,201 members. When I played around on the site there were 3 registered members and 87 visitors around.
You have to adjust the soil temperature around these animals, so the animals will feel as comfortable as in their original habitat. Suppose you want to take care of seagull, the area needed to be sloppy. If you want to take care of giraffe, then try to provide a flat region. Pay attention to the trees and stones for your animals. If the animals need high trees (such as giraffe) then place tall trees for its food consumption. If the animals need fruit trees, then place trees that can produce fruits, such as lemon trees, apple trees, and many others.
In Unani Medicine, the name of Hakim Ibn Sina, known to the West as Avicenna, towers head and shoulders above all others. Whereas Hippocrates is called the Father of Medicine, Avicenna has been called the Father of Modern Medicine. He is also called the Prince of Physicians.
Avicenna was born in 980 A.D. near Bokhara, an ancient center of culture and learning in Persia. As a child, Avicenna showed a prodigious intellect. By age ten, he had committed the entire Koran to memory. While still in his teens, Avicenna had learned all there was to learn from the scholars of Bokhara, and had mastered the art of medicine.
When Avicenna was only twenty-one, his father died. This traumatic event, coupled with the great political turmoil of the time, sent Avicenna on a period of constant wandering. He finally found refuge in the court of a prince in Hamdan, Persia, but even this wasn't enough to protect Avicenna from the whirlwind of political intrigue that surrounded him. He was even jailed on one occasion.

Some months ago I stumbled upon the excellent quiz site purposegames.com. It is a site that adheres to the web 2.0 principles of letting you all add games to the site and build a community around it, and it is also made by a single person. The site was started in 2006 by David Andersson and now has 13,768 games, 124 groups and 29,201 members. When I played around on the site there were 3 registered members and 87 visitors around.
The biggest difference is the kind of quiz games you can play on purposegames.com. The site specializes in very engaging, visual games where you have to point and click the right answer on an image. To give you a flavor: here are two samples I enjoyed and are typical:
- Game on the national flags of Africa,
- Game on the animals,
- Game on the cartoon, etc
You can play these games registered (then your score is stored) or anonymous, and when you play them again, the order of questions will be different.
Here are some of the things I wrote down:
- The main menu is games - create - community - leatherboard. Except for the last one that is similar to the quiz zone, author zone and club zone we have. The leatherboard is where you find the latest scores on the tournament. Purposegames has tournaments that spread over time. That is actually a good idea.
- Registration is easy : just one page, and the password is send to you via e-mail. You don't have to wait to be able to have access to all parts on the site, including creating new games. Only when you create games for the first time you need to agree with the terms and conditions.
- Games are flash-based. I like the clear and soft site design and looks. Wish I could do that :-).
- The community has players of the week and the month, and a history of players of the month (I like that idea very much.) It also has a member directory and you can see who is online and who are the top 5 contributors. Furthermore there is a discussion forum.
- There are a few Google advertisements on the site, but they don't bother at all.
- The home page has a game of the day.
- The site is only in English.
- There are two kinds of games: image-based games and multiple choice games. Games have a high score tab, rating, comments but you can also add a game as a favorite. Games can be marked as public or not.
- The help section is very limited, just a minimal FAQ. But when you create games, you do get clear instructions.
- The editor is easy and intuitive with clear instructions. They also use a concept of making - preview - publish. And the editor is actually a combination of a form-based screen where you need to fill in the boxes, and a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) at the same time. Very impressive. You cannot add feedback to questions or extra links, and for some reason my first question wasn't saved, but otherwise it went very smooth. Check it out:

There's three thing you can do,
My end conclusion: very good site, worth checking out!
Wildlife Park 2 looks like an ordinary simulator of a zoo. Probably, you've have a chance to play a similar game, Zoo Tycoon, for example. But if you examine this game more closely, you will understand that it's a bit different and have several surprising innovations. First, if you played the original Wildlife Park, you will notice that the second part is much better from the point of view of its design and graphics. Objects and living creatures look less awkward and more realistic.What's more, it was a very good idea to make a sort of a story including relationships between characters. All missions are logically connected and thoroughly thought-out. I liked the way the process of training is organized. You will learn all the secrets of timing animals and other useful "tricks" with the environment step by step. One more specific feature of this game is that it's possible to reconstruct extinct animals with the help of their remains. By the way, the process of timing is not complicated, so that you dont' need to rack your brains over this affair. Speaking about weak points, the control panel is not handy, though it's possible to accommodate it. Still, I didn't like the way it had been realized. However, generally, it's a very good game, interesting and unusual a bit.
Great Concept In All Aspects
Wild Life Park 2 can be said is very realistic. This game incorporate various aspects, so as the owner of the wildlife park, we are not only solely focus on the development of the park, or just focus on the provision of the animals but moreover you will be given the responsibility to build, to provide facilities for visitors, and to provide comfortable artificial habitat for your animal. Beside that, you must also consider about the production of food, the quality of water, the health of plants and the suitability of climate. The land should also be concern of, the land level and land irrigation will impact on the environment and the balance of your park. Are these complexities make you eager to try? If so, then continue reading below.
Focus On The Habits Of Animal
As the owner of the park, of course you must provide a variety of attractive animals so you can attract more and more visitors each day. So, for the procurement of animals, you need to consider about the types of animals in accordance with your park area. Pay attention to the temperature and climate of your park whether the animal that you want to buy is suitable with the climate or not.You have to adjust the soil temperature around these animals, so the animals will feel as comfortable as in their original habitat. Suppose you want to take care of seagull, the area needed to be sloppy. If you want to take care of giraffe, then try to provide a flat region. Pay attention to the trees and stones for your animals. If the animals need high trees (such as giraffe) then place tall trees for its food consumption. If the animals need fruit trees, then place trees that can produce fruits, such as lemon trees, apple trees, and many others.
Now, It's Time To Manage Our Park
Beside focusing on the situation and comfortably of your wildlife park animals, the other factors that plays an important role is the functionality of the park, the aesthetics level, and the comfortable of visitors.
You also need to build various kind of facilities such as living area for your staffs. Beside, you also need to built several water towers to produce clean water for your animals need. You can also build some functionality buildings to produce meat and food for your herbivorous animals. In addition, you can also add some minerals to these animals food so you can provide additional nutrition for them.
In addition to those functionality buildings, you might also need to consider about the aesthetic level where this will reflect how beautiful and how interesting your park in visitors' eyes. Every tree that you placed, has an attractiveness value that shows how high the interest of the visitors in this area. Besides that, you also need to arrange the trees as beautiful as you can which will interest your visitors.
It's your turn to satisfy the visitors now. Besides providing paths, you can also provide road equipped with jeep rental station. Visitors do not have to walk, but they can also rent a jeep to go around your park. Also provide some chairs for the pedestrian who want to get a relax and provide some trash bin for them to throw garbage in order to maintain the cleanliness of your garden environment.
You also can provide some automatic machines which sell soft drinks and snacks. In addition, you can also provide some entertainment facilities, resting areas, and various other facilities that will satisfy your park visitors.
Graphically Is Good
This game also supported by a good quality graphics. You can see more detail of the animals. The visitors will also perform many kind of various actions. Every action in this game is very detail and nice to see. You can see the staff filling the food and drink of the animals, the visitors watching the animal attractions, and of course, you will see some unique actions of your animals.
All of this is rendered in full 3D environment. You can rotate the camera, zoom the screen and also set the viewing angle. All you want to see, can be done by moving and clicking on the mouse.
Nice Sound
For sound quality in this game is good. You will listen to the various animals' voice, the bustle of visitors, and various sound effect. With this complex voice, the parks atmosphere will feel more realistic, as if you were in the middle of the park.
Conclusion
Finally, after knowing the myriad features and high complexity of this game, can be said that Wild Life Park 2 is one of the impressive simulation game, and for those who loves the animal world, this game might be a recommend for you to try. And, for those Zoo Tycoon's fans, you might also try this one. I can guarantee you to get more exciting with this game.

April Fool..........
Why we celebrate it,read the real story n then being a literated n sensible,decide either we should celebrate it or not.............?
Most of us celebrate April fool day every year and Fool each other.. But how many of us know the bitter facts hidden behind it. It was around a thousand years ago that Spain was ruled by Muslims. And the Muslim power in Spain was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed. The Christians of the west wished to wipe out Islam from all parts of the world and they did succeed to quite an extent. But when they tried to eliminate Islam in Spain and conquer it, they failed. They tried several times but never succeeded. The unbelievers then sent their spies in Spain to study the Muslims there and find out what was the power they possessed and they found that their power was TAQWA. The Muslims of Spain were not just Muslims but they were practicing Muslims. They not only read the Quran but also acted upon it.
When the Christians found the power of the Muslims they started thinking of strategies to break this power. So they started sending alcohol and cigarettes to Spain free of cost. This technique of the west worked out and it started weakening the faith of the Muslims in particular the young generation of Spain. The result was that the Catholics of the west wiped out Islam and conquered the entire Spain bringing an end to the EIGHT HUNDRED LONG YEARS' RULE OF THE MUSLIMS in Spain. The last fort of the Muslims to fall was Grenada (Gharnatah), which was on the 1st of April. From that year onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1st of April, celebrating the day, they made a fool of the Muslims. They did not make a fool of the Muslim army at Gharnatah only, but of the whole Muslim Ummah. We, the Muslims, were fooled by the unbelievers.They have a reason to celebrate April fool day,to keep up the spirit. But what reason we have to celebrate it????????????
Dear brothers and sisters, when we join in this celebration, we do so out of ignorance. If we had known about it, we would never have celebrated our own downfall. So now,that we are aware of it, and now let us promise that we shall never celebrate this day. We should learn our lesson from the people of Spain, and shall try to become practicing Muslims, never to let anybody weaken our faith. Please forward this message to as many people you know. The more people you forward it to the greater will be the reward from your Lord in this world and the hereafter. Please try to do it before the 1st of April, to create awareness that WE ARE NOT FOOLS ANYMORE…………. MAY ALLAH ALMIGHTY BLESS All OF US.
If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modem history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then-inhabited world; and more than that he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls…. His forbearance in victory, his ambition which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire, his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death- all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was twofold: the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?
- Lamartine
Histoire de la Turquie, Pans 1854, Vol. 11, pp. 276-77
He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope’s pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports.
- Bosworth Smith
Mohammad and Mohammadanism, London 1874, p 92.
It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher.
- Annie Besant
The Life and Teachings of Muhammad, Madras 1932, p 4
His readiness to undergo persecution for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his achievement all argue his fundamental integrity To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the West as Muhammad.
- W Montgomery Watt
Mohammad At Mecca, Oxford, 1953, p 52.
Muhammad, the inspired man who founded Islam, was born about AD. 570 into an Arabian tube that worshipped idols. Orphaned at birth, he was always particularly solicitous of the poor and needy the widow and the orphan, the slave and the downtrodden. At twenty he was already a successful businessman, and soon became director of camel caravans for a wealthy widow. When he reached twenty-five his employer, recognizing his meet, proposed marriage. Even though she was fifteen years older, he married her, and as long as she lived remained a devoted husband. Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the transmitter of God’s word, sensing his own inadequacy But the angel commanded Read’. So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: “There is one God.” In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred, and rumors of God’s personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced,’ An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human-being.” At Muhammads own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in religious history: ‘If there are any among you who worshipped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you worshipped, He lives for ever’.
James A. Michene
“Islam: The Misunderstood Religion,”
Reader’s Digest (Amencan ea.) May 1955, pp. 68-70.
My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.
Michael H. Hart
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History,
New York: Hart Publishing Company Inc. 1978, p 33.
I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind…. I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the second volume (of the Prophet’s biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of that great life.
Mahatma Gandhi, statement published in ‘Young India,’1924.
“If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam.”
“I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity.”
“I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.”
Sir George Bernard Shaw in ‘The Genuine Islam,’ Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936.
“The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.”
“A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but be earnest. He was to kindle the world, the world’s Maker had ordered so.”
Thomas Carlyle in ‘Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History,’ 1840
The good sense of Muhammad despised the pomp of royalty. The Apostle of God submitted to the menial offices of the family; he kindled the fire; swept the floor; milked the ewes; and mended with his own hands his shoes and garments. Disdaining the penance and merit of a hermit, he observed without effort of vanity the abstemious diet of an Arab.
Gibbon in ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ 1823
It was the genius of Muhammad, the spirit that he breathed into the Arabs through the soul of Islam that exalted them. That raised them out of the lethargy and low level of tribal stagnation up to the high watermark of national unity and empire. It was in the sublimity of Muhammad’s deism, the simplicity, the sobriety and purity it inculcated the fidelity of its founder to his own tenets, that acted on their moral and intellectual fiber with all the magnetism of true inspiration.
