WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8, 2022. CLICK TITLE for times in your city, Zoom link, comments from prior private seminars, a short, introductory video, and agenda. The Jamat of today seeks more than traditional, philosophical arguments for God and the Imamat which it often does not find intellectually satisfying. Rooted in the fundamental principle unambiguously explained by our Imams and the Qur'an, that faith is and always has been evidence based, "The Ismaili Imamat: A Signature in History," is an objective assessment of the Ismaili Imamat's authenticity using a new, ground-breaking approach. This two day event is its first presentation for students, young adults and the wider Jamat.

Three New Papers Prove (Again) You Can Take Them Off Without Worry
WMBRIGGS.COM -- Until April 2020, WHO COVID-19 guidelines stated that "[c]loth (e.g. cotton or gauze) masks are not recommended under any circumstance." This was updated in June 2020 to state "the widespread use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality or direct scientific evidence." But why do surgeons wear them? A paper in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England studied that question and here's the entire abstract: "No masks were worn in one operating theatre for 6 months. There was no increase in the incidence of wound infection." No difference after thousands of operations compared. Viruses which are lighter and much smaller than bacteria, so go through and around masks much easier, but even bacteria from maskless surgeons aren't causing infections ...

The Mask Studies You Should Know
BROWNSTONE.ORG -- Here are 10 papers (of more than 150) that describe the ineffectiveness of masks and mask mandates, and 14 papers on the harms and potential harms of masks. ~~ New England Journal Of Medicine: "We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.... It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are talismans that may help increase health care workers' perceived sense of safety." ~~ Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health paper on NIH website: "No evidence was identified that examined a potential role for surgical face masks in protecting staff from infectious material encountered in the operating room" ~~ Cochrane Database of Systemic Reviews ...

Rai A. M. Sadaruddin Interviewed on 'The Press, Publicity & Public Relations' -- BoAI Vol #1
GOOGLE.COM -- "The happiest week of my life was in 1957 when I travelled with His Highness as his Secretary during his first tour as Imam in East Africa" says Rai Sadaruddin, founder and Editor of Africa Ismaili. ~~ What do you think yourself about your magazine? I think it is full of faults! I would like people to tell me what they find wrong with it instead of only paying compliments. ~~ Almost every magazine from India, Pakistan and East Africa wrote to me that our community did not give the Ismaili journalists due respect. ~~ In 1937 few Ismailis in prominent public positions as members on Government Boards, Municipalities or Legislature. In those days, I continuously supported all Ismailis entering public life. At one of the official parties, while introducing me to the then Governor of Kenya, Sir Philip Mitchell, ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
