    FIRST U.S. X-RAY MACHINE EXHIBITION ???
    January 18, 1896 - New York City, U.S.A.

    An x-ray machine was not exhibited at Casino Chambers, New York City, though some sources state it was. The news of Wilhelm Röntgen's discovery of the astonishingly penetrating X-rays had only been revealed to the world earlier in the month. So, riding on the wave of that publicity, the Cabaret du Neant opened, charging 25 cents admission to see the “Parisian sensation.” What the audiences actually saw was only a theatrical illusion of an x-ray image using only magic lantern techniques and the Peppers Ghost effect. No actual x-ray equipment was used. However, just a few days earlier, the first X-ray photograph in the U.S. has been credited were taken by Dr. Henry Lewis Smith in Davidson, N.C., on 12 Jan 1896. He had acted very quickly, as Röntgen made his discovery on 8 Nov 1895, announced it on 1 Jan 1896, and the first newspaper report, in Austria, was on 5 Jan 1896.

    SOLAR CELLS
    January 18, 1994 - U.S. Department of Energy

    The U.S. Department of Energy announced production of solar panels giving nearly twice the efficiency of existing panels. Made by United Solar Systems of Troy, Mich., these amorphous silicon submodule (1 ft2) panels converted 10.2% of solar energy into electricity, as compared to 6% previously possible. This was possible by using new thin-film photovoltaic technology. The company has subsequently produced flexible solar shingles based on thin film photovoltaics that can permit the roofs of ordinary commercial and residential buildings to evolve from simply providing protection from the weather to becoming a source of much-needed electric power.

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.
