    PUNCHBOARDS
    January 17, 1905 - Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent was issued for a punchboard to Charles A. Brewer and Clinton G. Scannell of Chicago, Illinois, described as “vending devices.” They were manufactured by Charles A. Brewer & Sons in the same city. (No. 780,086). Even though the equivalent of punchboards had been around for many years, they had never been available in such a neat and portable form. The invention of board stuffing machines and ticket folding and plaiting machines in the late 1910s was probably the key factor which allowed the punchboard industry to flourish. Once the boards became cheap to manufacture, they flooded the country. Noted gambling author John Scarne estimates that 30 million punchboards were sold in 1910-15.

    TELEPHONE SWITCHBOARD
    January 17, 1882 - Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

    A telephone switchboard was issued a U.S. patent to Leroy Firman of Chicago, Illinois (No. 252,576), which was assigned to the Western Electric Manufacturing Co. Also of Chicago. With his invention of a “multiple switchboard for telephone exchanges,” Firman addressed the problem of increasing numbers of subscribers. Previously, single switchboards, each with an attendant, served their group of individual lines. A large exchange was thus divided up into a number of internal exchange switchboards which were worked together as necessary, with trunk lines between the boards. Firman devised an arrangement to handle an exchange of a thousand or more subscribers with line status information exchanged between switchmen.

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Internet and mass media have reached almost every house and is continuously becoming difficult to give out everyone with a view of events occurring across the globe in one go.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

It is a substantially recognized concept that totality governments, especially belonging to the Middle East and Muslim world are regularly employed in unrelenting effort to strangle the high bred technologies of mass-media such as the internet from going against their regional or national privacies for political, security or diplomatic reasons. Western interests on the other hand, seem to be exploiting the powers of conventional media to move views of the world to advantage of their interest against other areas of the world and especially towards Middle East and the Muslim world.

Plentiful proofs show up that after the infamous attack on the World Trade Center on September 11; the relation between western powers and the Middle East and Islamic world have turned bitter. As an outcome, it is becoming quite evident that western mass media businesses are on a way to carry out negative information against the Islamic world and the Middle East. This is because they want to carry out later motives of their sponsorship, by confronting Muslim views as negative. The financial powers, economic and diplomatic influence to make it worse as these mass media giants make it simpler to make the propaganda much louder as it appears thereby regulating views of the world against the Muslim world.

The online magazines exploit underlying opportunities of modern mass media programs to circularize new perspectives, ideologies and ideas to the farthest part of the globe and also to balance views of the world on happenings that take place globally. Their main aim is to offer and provide facts and truth behind these events. So they offer an insight of the truth to the world, thereby changing their views. All the worlds 1.5 billion Muslim people take a look on the global issues and events and also form an authentic forum for good discussion among Christians, Muslims, Jews ore people from other religion and beliefs. So here the role of online magazine comes in.

What an online magazine requires is to be unbiased and provide news updated with time scale of one minute. They must also provide opinions of the public masses regarding events around them and around the globe. They must balance between the world news with an objective to promote brotherhood and peace. Broadcasting news must be authentic so as it does not influence people of other beliefs in a negative manner. That is what every online magazine must do. Healthy discussions must be taken into account on the news forum to promote social respect and required justice.

Islam tribune is one such online magazine that promotes authentic and unbiased news to help balance Muslim views and World News. The Middle East news is authentic that it provides and the Muslim News influence majority of those people who are a regular reader with social balance in mind.
