Protests against anti Islamic film in Egypt - 0 views

  •  
    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.

This periodic table includes elements and their real-world applications - 1 views

  •  
    The table contains all the usual information you find in a periodic table of elements, but then under each element, it lists real-world items that contain that element. This opens up a new avenue of projects for Science teachers where students can not only learn the different elements, but then connect them to real world uses and even explore the method in which the element is applied. For example, assigning a student to report on radon, they'll see it's a key element in earthquake predictors.

World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was the proximate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Europe, such as the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, France, and Italy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination by a Yugoslav nationalist resulted in a Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia.[9][10]
  • Europe that began in the summer of 1914. The fighting ended in November 1918. This conflict involved all of the world's great powers,[4] assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers.[5] More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history.[6][7] More than 9 million combatants were killed, due largely to great technological advances in firepower without corresponding advances in mobility. It was the second deadliest conflict in Western history.[8]
