“CATCH-IT Reports” are Critically Appraised Topics in Communication, Health Informatics, and Technology, discussing recently published ehealth research. We hope these reports will draw attention to important work published in journals, provide a platform for discussion around results and methodological issues in eHealth research, and help to develop a framework for evidence-based eHealth. CATCH-IT Reports arise from “journal club” - like sessions founded in February 2003 by Gunther Eysenbach.

CATCH-IT Draft: Clinical Decision Support capabilities of Commercially-available Clinical Information Systems
Recent studies have reported that the CDS applications built in-house produce the best results. However, there is not much research done for the CDS capabilities of commercially available clinical information systems (CIS). The cited paper wishes to fill this gap in research by evaluating the CDS capabilities of 9 commercially available CCHIT certified EHR systems using a 42-element functional taxonomy. The evaluations are based on information collected from the vendors and customers of the EHR systems. The study finds that while capabilities for ‘triggers’ in CDS are well covered among the systems, many capabilities for ‘offered choices’ are not present. The results of the study are presented pseudonymously to respect privacy of the customer.
This report is based on an evaluation of the study in the CATCH-IT Journal Club. It reports the key points raised about the methodological issues of the study as a result of the CATCH-IT analysis. These issues are discussed in the following, and it is expected that consideration of this evaluation will enhance the quality of the research performed by the research community.
There are several methodological issues with the original study that can be highlighted. These methodological issues can be causes of potential concerns that may hinder the validity of the research findings. The following sections discuss the methodological issues in more detail.
Use of CCHIT Certified EHR Systems
The authors indicated about the use of CCHIT certification as a baseline for the selected systems in the study. As a result of establishing such a baseline, the authors have ensured that the selected systems meet a particular quality and are have comparable features.
An investigation of the CCHIT certification requirements has indicated that the CCHIT certification criteria are continuously evolving, with additional requirements being added each year. CCHIT uses a matrix of requirements with specific requirements relating to a system’s domain of use (such as ambulatory care and outpatient care) and the system’s aspect of use (such as for EMR storage and CDS). While CCHIT certification has been used as a baseline for the selection procedure of the systems, the authors have not discussed details about what year the selected systems were certified, and whether their certification has been renewed with the evolving CCHIT requirements. In addition, it is unclear as to what the authors have done to ensure that the features in the selected taxonomy are in alignment with the CDS –specific requirements CCHIT.
System Selection Procedure
The authors indicated in the methods that a preliminary set of CCHIT certified EHR systems was identified based on figures from Klas and HIMSS Analytics. The vendors involved with the development of these systems and the customers of these systems were then contacted, based on which a sample of 9 systems were selected for this study.
The immediate concerns that arise regarding the selection procedure is that it is unclear as to how many systems were originally selected, what was the nature of such communications (such as questions asked, and type of information requested), and what was the criteria for short listing the selected EHRs for the study. Without such details, the study cannot illustrate to the audience that the study followed an effective selection procedure in which there was no external influence, and that a specific system was included or excluded from the study due to potential bias.
For the purpose of determining the availability of a certain CDS capability in the selected systems, the authors selected a self-developed functional taxonomy that combined common CDS capabilities along four axes – triggers, input data elements, interventions, and offered choices. The authors mention that the taxonomy was developed based on a research at the Partners HealthCare System, by emphasizing on the fact that there was no other functional taxonomy available for use in this research.
It has been determined that the taxonomy has been developed based on the numerous clinical rules used at the Partners HealthCare System in Boston. While Partners is evidently a large healthcare system involving a blend of healthcare provider types, it must be noted that the developed taxonomy has not been validated by employing it in other healthcare organizations outside of Partners.
Due to the concerns raised by the use of an un-validated self-developed taxonomy in this research, an investigative approach has been used to determine how well the taxonomy has been received by the research community. Findings suggest that even though the taxonomy research was published in 2007, to date there are only 5 journal articles that reference that research study. There is only one article that has not been authored by any of the researchers involved with the taxonomy development. However, that article does not make any specific reference to the taxonomy or its development. As a result, research has failed to identify any neutral opinion about the developed taxonomy, raising concerns of self-boasting by the authors’ use of a self-developed taxonomy that lacks an apparent acceptance in the research community. However, this raises serious concerns about the findings of the study, since the study evaluation is wholly based on the CDS capabilities indentified in the taxonomy.
Data Collection Procedure
In this study, the vendors and customers of the 9 systems were contacted and interviewed by three of the authors. The outcomes of these interviews were used to evaluate the CDS capabilities of each system against the 42-element taxonomy. The authors reported that if there was any doubt about the availability of a particular feature in any of the systems, they contacted other customers, read product manuals, and conducted hands-on evaluation to determine availability of a feature.
The paper suggests that three of the authors were involves with the data collection procedure. The authors have not specified what kind of data collection mechanisms were used for collecting the data. Data collection procedures can be a cause of bad data for which the study is based. As a result, the researchers must demonstrate the validity of their data collection procedure. For example, it is not known whether the authors used one-on-one interviews or panel interviews for collecting the data, how many interviews were conducted with the same interviewee, were the interviews open-ended or close-ended, how many questions were involved, what was the follow-up procedure, and what did the authors do to prepare for the interviews. The audience of the research can easily raise questions about the procedures and argue about the limitations of the procedures used. A well-written report will typically avoid letting such concerns settle in the mind of its audience.
Apart from the concerns about the data collection procedure, there are concerns about the validity of the collected data. It is unclear who the researchers spoke with in each of these interviews with the vendors or customers. Not all members of the vendor organization are able to answer the same question about the availability of a particular feature. In the case of a vendor, there may be bias in the answers about the availability of a certain feature. At the same time, asking the customers about the availability of a feature may raise concerns about the knowledge of customer about the product itself. And this leads to the question as to what method did the authors use to ensure that 1) what the vendors and customers are saying are actually valid, 2) how was the collected data validated, 3) what is it that raised doubts in the researchers’ minds because of which they conducted further investigation, and 4) what determined whether a feature is actually available.
The results of the study have been presented in a tabular form for each of the axis of the taxonomy by evaluating the systems against the features in the axes. To respect the software vendors’ right to privacy, the results were pseudonymously represented by identifying each system with a number. In their evaluation, the authors used a binary-style evaluation, where the result is either yes (available) or no (unavailable). Since both in-patient and outpatient were used, the inapplicable criterion for a system was marked as N/A (not applicable). The final result was represented with a count of unavailable features by each system by each axis. In the authors’ view, the system with the least number of unavailable features is the best system.
Although the authors have mentioned this as a limitation of their study, but the binary-style evaluation does not match the way that the data for this study has been collected and used. The data collected in the study was qualitative, and it has been used to evaluate a question to yes or no. Similar to the concern about the validity of collected data, this raises serious questions about the validity of the evaluation that the authors have performed. For example, even if a feature is available, what did the authors do to evaluate how well that feature has been implemented by the software developers? How complete is the feature? How usable is it? How applicable is it for a particular setting?
The representation of the final result in this research by tallying the number of unavailable features is all but useful. The authors have failed to use key concepts of importance, usefulness, and frequency of use of an available feature. For example, a feature may be useful, but may not be frequently used. Or perhaps a feature is not frequently used but is very important for the success of a CDS application. This directly impacts the final results of the study where the authors chose the system with the least number of unavailable features as the best system. Since the scoring system used in this research is weak, it can be argued that the results are invalid.
Questions for the authors
1. What led to the linear treatment of the capabilities?
2. What was the reason behind the use of a taxonomy which is not yet well-received in the research community?
3. What were the steps taken to validate the information gathered from the vendors and customers?
4. What was the reasoning behind counting the number of unavailable features rather than available ones? Did you not want to deal with the complexity of working with N/A?
5. Why were both inpatient and outpatient systems with potentially different capabilities selected for the study?

Country Schools: Past and Present Volume 3
Betsey DeLoache is a city slicker who has fallen in love with history in rural South Dakota. Her adventures while visiting operating schools and country folks and seeing the wide-open spaces provided added reflections and commentary.
The book includes memories and experiences of students and teachers from ages 5 to 101. Some rode their horses to school, were stuck in blizzards, killed rattlesnakes, pumped drinking water from a cistern, and cooked their potatoes in the ashes of the potbelly stove. They all start their day with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag.
Betsey's illustrations depict the schools, as they were when student and teachers spent their days there from 1881 to 2015.

The Company You Keep: Centrists, Party Alliances, and Democratic Breakdown in Latin America and Southern Europe
The book investigates patterns of alliance between political parties at the center and at the far-right of the ideological spectrum. In some instances these alliances have paved the way for far-right forces to take power, with detrimental consequences for democratic stability. When and why have centrist liberal parties allied with far-right forces in history? The book argues that what guides centrist parties’ decisions regarding political alliances is the concern with implementing an economic agenda that protects the interests of their core constituents, i.e. economic and business elites. When worsening economic conditions undercut centrist parties’ electoral appeal, the interests of economic and business elites come under threat as they lose representation in the political arena. Under these conditions, centrists are more likely to form an alliance with far-right forces – in the form of electoral, policymaking, and technical support – as a measure of last resort to protect the material interests of their core constituents. This “shift to the right” is more prominent, I argue, if an electorally viable left-wing bloc has formed, and thus the threat that centrist retrenchment poses to the material interests of economic elites is stronger. To test my argument, I conduct a comparative historical analysis of past and contemporary cases: 1920s Italy, 1970s Chile, and contemporary Brazil and Bolivia. The book seeks to contribute to enhancing our understanding of the political economy and party dynamics that lead to democratic breakdown.


Fall Women’s Bible Study
This Fall the women’s Bible study in the Psalms using the Knowing the Bible series.
“The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible.
The Book of Psalms powerfully resonates with the whole spectrum of human emotions and experiences, resounding with heartfelt praise, humble confession, and honest lament. This 12-week study guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion, exploring the Bible’s ability to transform our emotions and incline our hearts toward worship.”
Childcare and books will be provided.

If the Buddha Dated: Handbook for Finding Love on a Spiritual Path by Charlotte Sophia Kasl.
This book was recommended by several people, as they said the philosophies were similar to what I espouse in this blog. They were right! Of course, I enjoyed reading it as Ms. Kasl and I have a similar view of the world. She’s come to her perspective from various doctrines.
The section headings are:
- Preparation for Love
- Awaken Your Desire
- Enter the Sacred Fire
- Keep Loyal to Your Journey
- Going Deeper
- Living in the Heart of the Beloved
Her topics range from the practical (“Using Ads, Dating Services and Singles Clubs,” “Children and Dating”) to the philosophical (“Notice the Flow of Giving and Receiving,” “Be a Spiritual Warrior,” “Finding Love Beneath Illusions”). All in all, I found it a good read. If you lean toward New Thought, Buddhism, mindfulness or the metaphysical, you’ll enjoy this book. If you don’t, then don’t waste your money.

Prepping Your Classroom for Women's History Lessons
When it comes to studying women's history, you can get your students interested in learning more about the important role women have played in history. From classroom discussions, movies you can show in class, and historical nonfiction books about women for your classroom library, the materials you have in your classroom can help your students become more engaged in the topic. As you look for ways to inspire your students, you can do your own research about women in history that have made a difference to you.
Take the time to read about a new historical figure, review their information by watching a video, or get ideas for your classroom through reading historical nonfiction ebooks about women.
Women's History and the Impact of Women
As you choose the materials to bring into your classroom for women's history month, consider how in-depth you want to go with certain subjects. You may want to give more of an overview of women in history, outlining the impact women have had on the rights of women and the roles they have played. You can find historical nonfiction books on women suffragettes, talk about the early roles of women in the home, and discuss how women have only had the right to vote for a few decades.
Decide Who You Want Your Students to Learn About
You may also want to get more specific, going into detail about the lives of some of the women you want your class to study. Through films, historical nonfiction books about women and other classroom materials, you can give your students plenty of information to look through. Whether you want to teach about women writers, teachers, politicians, or activists, narrowing down your focus can lead to deeper discussions on the life of the individual and their contributions.
Provide Resources for Further Information
If you are having students complete a project during women's history month, you will want to provide your students with plenty of resources. From historical nonfiction books to website links that are trusted resource for accurate information, you want to guide your students to the resources where they are going to find the information they can use for reports or presentations. Start perusing your options by looking for ebooks by Joan Marsh LLC and others.
Your classroom can be a wonderful learning environment for women's history month when you have the right resources in place. Get your materials together by choosing a focus, and finding historical nonfiction books about women your students will become engaged in.


A huge thank you to all our parents and carers for their support over the last few months
A reminder that the last day of term for ALL children is Friday 10th July
We hope you have a safe holiday and look forward to seeing you all in September
Remember to keep an eye out for Parentmails as we will be sending out more information over the holidaysCoronavirus Update
We practise reading in Reception daily and follow the Oxford Reading Tree scheme of books. We start by reading the grey band Oxford Reading tree books, which helps the children to familiarise themselves with the key characters (Mum, Dad, Kipper, Floppy, Biff and Chip). Once the children are confident in naming the characters and recognising the names by sight, as well as being able to talk about the story, we move onto the green band books. After this, we move up through the bands based on the children's confidence.
You will have received a home-school reading journal and a grey band book when your child started Reception. We recommend you read with your child often and send back the reading journal and book when finished.
To go alongside the Oxford Reading Tree scheme, we have coloured 'key words' for the children to learn. These are words which come up often in the books and are words which you can't sound out. Therefore, the children need to be able to sight read the words. There is no rush for the children to learn these as we teach them at the rate they are comfortable with. Your child will have received the first grey key words when they started and will receive other key words throughout the year to take home and practise. Please see the key word attachment to see the key words the children learn throughout the year. You may also print these off at home.
Please also see the high frequency word list attachment. These contain words which come up most often in children's reading and writing and we try to practise these often in school throughout the year. The words become increasingly challenging as you go down the columns.
As well as reading Oxford Reading Tree books and our key words, we look at a variety of books to inspire, engage and motivate the children. We love reading in Reception and have story time throughout the day where the children come together to look at a colourful and exciting book! A list of recommended stories will follow soon.


The Diamond Approach is a path of self-realization and actualization leading to spiritual maturity, as well as to inner freedom. This freedom expresses itself in our lives and in our experiences of aliveness, presence, love, joy, fulfillment and intimacy with ourselves and with others. This path differs from many other spiritual paths in that it recognizes the uniqueness of each individual’s soul and guides each person according to their unique soul’s expression and unfoldment.
Drawing upon both spiritual and psychological insights, the Diamond Approach offers a path and spiritual teaching for people who live ordinary lives and who want to learn to re-connect with and to live from their deepest spiritual nature. It is a path that is evolving in our time and consequently, is appropriate for our time. It is based on the teachings of Hameed Ali, who writes under the pen-name of A. H. Almaas and is taught within the Ridhwan School, a spiritual work school. Students work with individual teachers of the Diamond Approach, who function as guides.
The main practice of the Diamond Approach is open-ended inquiry into our moment-to-moment, personal experience. Students are guided and supported to be open, curious, non-judgmental, and allowing of their unfolding process, as well as in a state of “not knowing” and without preferences as they explore and sense into their present moment experience. Various meditations and body-sensing practices also are utilized to support inquiry. The soul, which loves to know/express the truth, in following will the truth will find its way “home”—remembering its true nature, claiming its birthright and embodying its essential nature.
More information about this integral spiritual approach can be found at www.ridhwan.org.

Never Forget Your Welsh Heroes is a unique campaign to track down and digitize letters and diaries from Welsh soldiers (and soldiers who served in Welsh regiments) from any period in the history of the British Armed Forces. The purpose of this is to create a digital national archive that can be accessed online. This will be an opportunity for the public to freely access and learn more about the voice of the individual Welsh soldier, and to appreciate the Welsh contribution to the conflicts of Britain’s past.
The idea started with an up-and-coming South Wales indie folk band – ‘Rusty Shackle’ - wanting to donate the proceeds of downloads of their song ‘Tommy's Letter’ to a military charity. Fortunately, the band contacted the Friends of the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh in Brecon, and out of that liaison was born a campaign to preserve records from Welsh Tommies writing home to their families and loved ones.
In the years since Welsh archers helped their English kings win the battles of Crecy and Agincourt, there have been few letters from combatants in the various conflicts of the British armed forces; but by the time of World War One, when millions of men volunteered and subsequent swathes of Welsh youth were conscripted into the rapidly expanded army, the ordinary soldier was literate and writing about his experiences.
As Britain’s first Welsh Prime Minister, Lloyd George was determined that Wales should play a valiant part in the war effort; as a result, Wales made the largest contribution of servicemen and women in relation to the size of the population than any other country in the Empire. We want to remember all those who took part – both those who fought and survived as well as those who fought and died. By preserving these historically significant records in this way, we can shine a light on the heroism of the everyday soldier. If there are letters or diaries from any conflict in which a Welsh soldier fought, we want to archive and publish them, so that the nation knows its heroes and can honour and learn from them.

A Christmas Story!
Studies suggest that children who witness and engage in acts of generosity tend to exhibit increased levels of happiness and a deeper sense of community. Here is story to help you understand this concept.
Once upon a time, in a cozy town, there lived a spirited young boy named Liam. With twinkling eyes and a heart full of curiosity, Liam adored everything about the holiday season—the glowing lights, the scent of pine, and the joyous melodies filling the air.
As December unfolded, Liam’s family embarked on a special journey— an advent adventure designed to celebrate not just the holidays but also the spirit of giving. Each day, they’d gather around the fireplace, eagerly flipping through their “25 Days of Christmas Bucket List” calendar.
On the first day, they decorated the house, stringing colourful lights and adorning the tree with handmade ornaments. Liam was ecstatic, his laughter echoing through the halls as he crafted ornaments from simple materials, imagining the joy they would bring.
But it wasn’t just about decorations. Liam’s family took him on a different path—one where every activity held a lesson in kindness and generosity.
One chilly afternoon, they baked batches of cookies and delivered them to neighbours, spreading warmth and smiles. Liam’s eyes sparkled with delight as he saw the joy their homemade treats brought to others.
Another day, they ventured to a local shelter, where Liam helped serve meals to those in need. His heart swelled with compassion as he realized the impact a simple act of kindness could have on someone’s day.
As the days passed, Liam’s understanding of giving grew deeper. He realized that it wasn’t just about presents under the tree; it was about the joy of giving from the heart.
On Christmas Eve, nestled in the warmth of his home, Liam shared stories with his family by the twinkling lights. He spoke of the moments that touched his heart—the gratitude in the eyes of the elderly couple who received their homemade gifts, the laughter shared while making cards for soldiers overseas, and the happiness in the shelter as they distributed warm meals.
Liam’s heart swelled with a newfound understanding of the season. The lesson of love, kindness, and the joy of creating their unique family traditions became his most treasured gift.
Make Your Own Family Tradition!
Though Liam’s story is fictional, the essence of creating unique family traditions shines brightly in many homes around us. Crafting your own family traditions during the holiday season fosters a sense of togetherness and leaves an indelible mark on the memories cherished for years to come. These traditions not only strengthen family bonds but also instill values, like kindness and giving, into the fabric of everyday life.
Introducing the 25 Days of Christmas Bucket List
To assist families in fostering the spirit of giving and kindness, we’ve curated a FREE printable calendar: the 25 Days of Christmas Bucket List. This calendar is filled with heartwarming activities designed to inspire generosity and cultivate empathy in children. From crafting handmade gifts to spreading cheer in the community, each day offers a unique opportunity for families to bond while making a positive impact.

I completed reading this book about two months ago, and yesterday, I just found this incomplete draft, waiting to be completed, so here I am with my first ever Book Review!
TITLE: The Secret Garden
AUTHOR: Frances Hodgson Burnett
‘The Secret Garden‘ is a beautiful story. It changed my life in a way. I read this book to find a companion during my bad times, I read this to divert my mind from all negativity, and this story seriously made me forget everything. For hours, I used to be so engrossed reading, this made me believe that Books are definitely our bestest friends. :)
The story is about a horrible natured, proudy girl, Mary Lennox. She is a thin, pale, ugly looking girl who comes to live at her Uncle’s mansion after Cholera breaks out and destroys her family. Initially, she is given a room to stay, she never goes out to play, but when her care-taker Martha tells her stories about the ‘Secret Garden’, and how her brother Dickon is an animal-charmer, Mary grows curious about plants and bushes and birds and Dickon!
The story starts getting interesting when one day, Mary finds the key to the Secret Garden which was hidden for as long as ten years! The most beautiful of scenes and descriptions in the book are of this beautiful Secret Garden. After keenly and deeply observing the garden, she starts working to make the dead roses come to life again. And that’s how the little rude girl starts changing into a sweet, fatter, healthier and more beautiful girl after working hours and hours in the garden.
Eventually, she befriends Dickon, the animal-charmer who helps her grow the garden, the Robin who sings for her, and Colin, her cousin who she discovers one day while walking in the mansion. He is always on bed and under treatment cause he *thinks* he has a crooked back, but he’s able to stand on his feet, and even walk in the end!
The book is all about how birds and animals can relate to us and be our ‘Friends for sure’. It’s all about the magic of the secret garden that changes Mary and Colin totally. How Colin finds his way out of all superstitions and pretensions. How he overcomes his fear of death and of having a hunch-back and his so-called Destiny.
The one thing I love most about the story is the lively description of natural surroundings. That moment when Mary finally breaks into the Secret garden through the Ivy door. The moment her eyes try to imbibe all of the beauty, those flowers, trees, the birds, robin, squirrels and rose trees. It created a breathtakingly beautiful image. This brought me closer to appreciating the nature more and more. I never looked at nature that way!
The story is full of suspense. It is exciting to the very end. It left me turning those pages and reading more and more as to what will happen next. When Mary was left all alone, I wondered over her fate. When one day she heard the crying voices, that made me wonder who it might be. When she was in search of the key to the garden, I kept wondering if she’ll ever be able to find it!
To me, the characters feel very real. The way of writing is laudable. It brings out the words to life. Every little detail about the Secret Garden becomes visible to my eyes. The one thing I felt while reading was that it made me wonder if ‘Magic‘ actually exists. Is magic so powerful, that it can even heal wounds?
My most favourite inspirational lines which are said by Colin:
“The sun is shining— the sun is shining. That is the Magic. The flowers are growing—the roots are stirring. That is the Magic. Being
alive is the Magic—being strong is the Magic. The Magic is in me—the Magic is in me. It is in me—it is in
me. It’s in every one of us.”
I totally love this book, it makes me believe in magic, in miracles. It makes me believe that it’s our thinking that makes all the difference, if we think we can do it, we definitely can! It makes be believe that if we change our thoughts, we most probably can change our life. Thankyou so much Mana Didi, for suggesting me this wonderful book, for always inspiring me, and always believing that I can be better. Thankyou, my Guiding Angel!


Pinterest Alba Fedeli, who discovered the manuscript. David Sillitoe for the Guardian Fedeli is modestly dismissive of the scale of her discovery. To the untrained eye, the two look almost identical, but Fedeli spotted the difference online and when she actually handled the manuscript, knew exactly where she had seen more of the same handwriting, in leaves in the collection of the French national library in Paris, which came from one of the oldest mosques in the world, in Cairo. The edges of the Birmingham leaves have been damaged, but almost all the text is preserved and the parchment still milky white. Muhammad is generally agreed to have lived between AD and AD His teachings and revelations were initially passed on orally, before being written down on stone, clay, the shoulder blades of camels, and parchment — precious material, expensive to prepare from the skins of goats or sheep. After his death, the earliest written versions were collected and compiled into an authorised text. The Birmingham verses, though written in an abbreviated form, are very close to a modern text, confirming the belief of devout Muslims that the words of the prophet have been passed on unchanged for 1, years.
Birmingham Quran manuscript
June 14, , While hundreds of scholars and researchers have written about Muhammad, his god Allah, and his religion Islam, only five sources can be considered prime, authentic, and to the extent possible, unbiased. All other writings present a cleric’s or scholar’s opinion, one drawn directly or indirectly from the original sources.

Surah As Saff The Ranks Name The Surah derives its name from the sentence yuqatiluna fi sabil-i- hlsaff-an of verse 4; thereby implying that it is a Surah in which the word saff occurred. Period of Revelation It could not be known from any reliable tradition, but a study of its subject-matter shows that this Surah probably was sent down in the period closely following the Battle of Uhud, for by reading between the lines perceives a clear description of the conditions that prevailed in that period.
Theme and Subject Matter Its theme is to exhort the Muslims to adopt sincerity in Faith and to struggle with their lives in the cause of Allah. It is addressed to the Muslims with weak faith as well as those who had entered Islam with a false profession of the Faith and also those who were sincere in their profession. Some verses are addressed to the first two groups, some only to the hypocrites, and some only to the sincere Muslims.
The style itself shows where one particular group has been addressed and where the other. At the outset the believers have been warned to the effect; “Allah indeed hates those people who say one thing and do another, and He indeed loves. In spite of acknowledging the Prophet Moses as a Messenger of God they continued to malign him as long as he lived, and in spite of witnessing clear signs from the Prophet Jesus they denied him without any hesitation.

They tended to assume that most of the passages in a sura had been revealed about the same time. On this basis they came to classify the suras as ‘Meccan’ or ‘Medinan’, and this description was included in the heading of each sura in the later copies. They were also aware, however, of instances where a few verses had to be classified differently from the rest of the sura.

Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham smithsonian. That puts the fragmented parchment among the oldest copies of the Islamic holy book in the world, notes Maev Kennedy for The Guardian. For most of the intervening years, the fragments remained hidden in another document collected by Mingana until recently, when Alba Fedeli, a researcher who was studying the text, noticed the script was out of sync with the rest of the text, explains Dan Bilefsky for the New York Times.
Whoever wrote the text used ink and a type of script called Hijazi to inscribe part of Suras or chapters 18 to 20 of the Quran onto pieces of goat or sheep skin. Their tests put the age of the parchment between and AD. The script might have even written around the time of the founding of Islam and soon after lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, who is believed to have lived between and AD.
‘Violence more common’ in Bible than Quran, text analysis reveals
In relation to this revered bond, there are many verses of the noble Quran and countless ahadith that encourage marriage for any single man or woman – of any age or background. This is not only limited to the young brothers and sisters who have never been married and are looking for their life mate, but even those who have been through divorce have also been encouraged to re-marry and to “complete” their faith.
From the ocean of traditions and verses of the Quran on this topic, we quote the following: Allah SwT even gives us a guarantee that if we are poor or lack the proper funds, still we should not delay the marriage as Allah will take care of the couple and grant them bounties from His Grace and Mercy. Thus, one must not resort to evil, sin or illicit sexual relationships because they cannot find a permanent spouse.

Rather, in Islam pre-marital relationships of any kind between members of the opposite sex are forbidden. Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and protect their private parts…. Allaah orders the Muslim women not to talk unnecessarily or in a soft manner to strange men. Who could be purer than the wives of the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam and who could be higher in taqwa than the Sahaabah? The Sunnah prohibits a man and a woman from being alone together at any time.
The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam said: Verily, it is a Faahishah i. Islaam prohibits a man to even touch a non-mahram woman.
Dating (in Islam) WHAT?
Naskh Quran Quran is the principle text of Islam and one of the three sources from which the Sharia law is cast. The most sensitive issue with the Quran concerns errors. Muslims claim the Quran is infallible and error-free, while others claim the Quran has errors.
While the date palm tree is called “nakhl,” the fruit is called “tamr” in date palm, mentioned more than any other fruit-bearing plant in the Qur’an, is a symbol often.
Etymology[ edit ] The word surah was used at the time of Muhammad as a term with the meaning of a chapter or a portion of the Quran. This is evidenced by the appearance of the word sura in multiple locations in the Quran such as verse Say, “Then bring ten surahs like it and call upon whomever you can besides God, if you are truthful. Some took it as connected with the Arabic word ‘Sur’ meaning a ‘wall’.
Jeffery believes that it has a common origin with a Syrian word that means ‘writing’. History of the Quran Chapters in the Quran are not arranged in the chronological order of revelation , and the precise order has eluded scholars. According to tradition, Muhammad told his companions the traditional placement of every Wahy as he revealed it,  and Wm Theodore de Bary , an East Asian studies expert, describes that “The final process of collection and codification of the Quran text was guided by one over-arching principle: God’s words must not in any way be distorted or sullied by human intervention.
For this reason, no attempt was made to edit the numerous revelations, organize them into thematic units, or present them in chronological order As no transmitted reports dating back to the time of Muhammad or his companions exists, their works necessarily represent the opinions of scholars, and none originates before the first quarter of the 8th century. One version is given in a 15th-century work by Abd al-Kafi, and is included in the chronological order given by the standard Egyptian edition of the Quran Yet another, from the 10th century, is given by Ibn Nadim.

Marriage in The Quran And Sunnah of The Prophet (S) By Saleem Bhimji One of the recognized and indisputable commandments of Islam is that of marriage – the sacred union that takes place only between a man and a woman.
The first printed copies of the Quran Probably the first printed copy of the Quran, the edition by Fratelli Paganino. The first Quran was printed in Venice in It contained many errors and few copies survive. However, many Muslims were resistant to printed versions given the importance of calligraphy to the manuscript, and Christians objected to it too. Pope Paul III ordered copies to be burnt, as he considered it dissemination of heresy.
By the 16th Century, trade with Mediterranean Islam was big business. After encountering Muslims abroad, many English seamen converted to Islam. It came at a time when increasing numbers of men in Cornwall and Devon were being kidnapped by Ottoman Turks to be slaves — and forced to convert to Islam. Polemics against Islam increased.

I didn’t read this book for the longest time because I didn’t like the US or UK cover, but eventually did pick it up after Osama recommended it. Great book about female struggles and ambitions, and powerful characters and dialogue. Lesson: don’t judge a book by its cover.

When Maryam read the first draft of my novel in December 2022, she told me that the novel felt disjointed. She liked the Karachi sections of my novel but found the New York ones lacking. She told me she had felt similarly when reading Shamsie’s Best of Friends, like this review, and asked me to read it. I also loved the Karachi half of Shamsie’s novel, and felt disappointed by the London half, and started revising my draft.
In my past trips to Karachi, I have come home with many books, aspiring to catch up on my reading list, and have gone back with all of them unread. This time I wanted to keep just one book. I ended up picking one in which the author is also visiting his hometown and journals daily— a practice that I’ve always aspired to keep but have never had the discipline to do so.

Hello, I am trying to port a complete V430-J-R34 program to a Samba Series SM43-J-R20. I have the Main Module, subroutines, string libraries and recipes all transferred over via the appropriate Import/Export functions. What I am having trouble with is transferring/copying all the HMI Displays. Changing the Hardware Configuration and keeping the program is not allowed between different models. Is it possible to somehow manually transfer/copy the displays across models? We have 2 similar programs. The default V430 program includes a couple more outputs than what the Samba could provide. I have removed the outputs that were deemed unnecessary in order to use it on a Samba.


When you are creating a social or a psychological work, you must use the APA (American Psychological Association) style to make references for research papers. In accordance with this format, after every paraphrase, you need to mention the name of the author and year of writing. Here are two examples for you.
All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, except for personal communications (such as conversations or emails) which cannot be retrieved. A bibliography is different from a reference list as it lists all the sources used during your research and background reading, not just the ones you refer to in your writing.
Footnotes and references to the sources of information is a mandatory element of the research paper. In most cases, students include the footnotes in the research paper on the final stage of preparation of the research using for this the automatic edition of Microsoft Word.

There are numerous free MLA citation and references for research papers and bibliography generators.

Historical Nurses: All About Clara Barton
Clara Barton is a famous teacher, nurse, and humanitarian. She is considered to be one of the most famous nurses of the Civil War but is most recognized for establishing the American Red Cross. Because she was able to do more than many women were allowed to do at the time, Barton is also a role model for many girls and women.
Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born in Massachusetts on Christmas in 1921. She was the youngest of five children, and she was a very shy girl, but she had a very close relationship with her four older siblings. During her childhood, her father often told her war stories, which gave her a sense of pride in her country and helped teach her the importance of being prepared. She also developed an interest in caring for others, which began when she had to take care of one of her brothers after he fell off of a roof and severely injured himself. She was not accused of abuse at a nursing home.
Barton's Role as an Educator
Barton's shyness was a big problem when she was young. Her parents believed that teaching would help her get over her shyness. Because she liked helping people, they also thought that she would make a very good teacher. She began teaching in Massachusetts when she was nearly 17 years old, and she was very good at it. During her time as a teacher, she became more confident, and she did very well with students. Her teaching style made even the most difficult children enjoy learning.
In 1850, she moved to New York to further her education, and after, she went to teach in New Jersey. Because there were no free public schools in New Jersey, Barton opened her own small school in Bordentown. As her school became more popular, Bordentown decided that it should be made larger. When the new school opened, officials decided that Barton should no longer be in charge because she was a woman. They hired a man to replace her, and they paid him more for the job. This angered Barton, who later resigned from the school entirely.
Barton's Role During the Civil War
When the Civil War started, Barton lived in Washington, D.C., where she worked at the U.S. Patent Office. After the Baltimore riot of 1861, she assisted injured soldiers, and she recognized some of the men as former students and other people that she knew. She also saw that there were not enough supplies to care for the injured soldiers. To help fix this problem, she encouraged friends in every place where she had lived to gather supplies such as medicine, food, blankets, and clothing for the soldiers. This support network became very important for Union soldiers and played a huge role in getting them aid when their supplies ran out or were low. She would travel by carriage and deliver supplies to field hospitals herself and was even given approval to travel to some battlefields. This was surprising to many people, as women did not normally travel to battlefields or field hospitals alone. Even though she mainly delivered supplies, she would also act as a nurse at times. When she could, she and other nurses would assist with medical care and provide comfort and food to the injured. Her actions earned her the nickname "Angel of the Battlefield."
As the Civil War came to an end, Barton's desire to help continued. Families who were missing sons, husbands, and fathers needed help finding out what happened to them. With the support of President Abraham Lincoln, she started the Missing Soldiers Office. This new organization was able to get information about more than 20,000 missing men.
Barton and the Red Cross
The Civil War and her search for missing soldiers had a negative effect on Barton's health, and her doctors advised her to travel and relax. In 1869, she traveled to Europe, and while in Switzerland, she learned about the International Red Cross. Impressed, Barton began working with the International Red Cross to deliver supplies during the Franco-Prussian War. In 1873, she returned to the U.S., where she worked to establish a Red Cross in the United States. After a lengthy fight, she succeeded in 1881. At the age of 60, she became the first president of the American Red Cross, a position she held for 23 years.
