Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science
THEATLANTIC.COM -- Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors--to a striking extent--still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis [Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy and of Statistics at Stanford] has spent his career challenging his peers by exposing their bad science.... To say that Ioannidis's work has been embraced would be an understatement.... Last year he received, by his estimate, invitations to speak at 1,000 conferences and institutions around the world ...

What is Ismā'īli Gnosis?
Gnosis - Arabic: ma'rifah, Persian: shinākht, Sanskrit: jnāna, Hebrew: hokmah Gnosis is that 'supreme knowledge' 'which unifies and sanctifies' the human being.

Gnosis is 'the basis of the intellect ('aql)' and is 'unwavering in man'. Gnosis ...

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Amanna (via Ismaili Digest)
Established in late 1995, Amaana is tied with ismaili.net as the oldest public Ismaili website -- private or institutional -- and we're proud to say that a woman, Nina Jaffer, founder of Amaana, was one of these two pioneers, that led Ismailis on to the Internet. Their vision and resolute determination, in the Internet's early years, when many had doubts, fears and pressures, echoes the courageous spirit of earlier Ismaili pioneers. And just as they paved the way for others to follow, our Internet pioneers also paved the way for all the other Ismaili websites who followed them onto the Internet, a decade or more later, when it had become "safe" and "normal" to publish Ismaili websites. Amaana has published hundreds of articles about Ismailism and Islam, however, due to technical reasons, only a fraction are available on Ismaili Digest, so do spend time browsing Amaana itself. All their pieces are all as relevant today as when originally published.

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. |
