The American Physical Society represents some 45,000 physicists, and most of our work centers on scientific meetings and publications-the primary ways that physicists communicate with each other. With PhysicsCentral, we communicate the excitement and importance of physics to everyone. We invite you to visit our site every week to find out how physics is part of your world. We'll answer your questions on how things work and keep you informed with daily updates on physics in the news. We'll describe the latest research and the people who are doing it and, if you want more, where to go on the web. So stick with us. It's a big, interesting world out there, and we look forward to showing you around.

Islam is the religion of peace and harmony. It teaches the tolerance and to give respect to all the religions and their Prophets. However, unfortunately Muslims have, always been exploited and misunderstood by the west. A very incidence of anti Islamic film has spread the rage across the Muslim world. This anti Islamic film is the sign of blind freedom of expression in the west. This film is propaganda and is, produced to invoke the Muslim's extreme reaction. Thus, it gives the right insight to motives of an extremist driving force working behind such kind of incidences. Protests are, held in a number of countries across the world. Some were peaceful others turned into violence. Muslims need to know the real aim of those inhumane actors working behind these blasphemous acts. They should have to tell the world that they should not lose their senses while protesting against such anti Islamic act. Like in many countries, other people have lost their lives during these protests by action of security forces or in some cases, by some unknown attackers who took advantage to get their aims. One of the prominent country in which Muslims protested is Egypt where in Cairo some 200 young men stormed the US embassy and this crowd was then dispersed by the security forces with tear gas. Due to concerns over the turning of the protesting rallies into some violent clash, Islamist party called off the rally even then thousands of people protested in demonstrations at different parts of Egypt.

"Creating cartoons and comic strips for educational uses can be quite interesting task. It obviously pushes the reluctant students to participate more and rub the dust off their brains. Students love to work in groups and compete with each other especially when there are motivating incentives for them. One of these incentives is the integration of comic strips into parts of your lesson."
