Drone spotted at Oxfordshire farm before high-value tech theft - BBC News

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-65811644

Spying of people
This is the beginning. You will see drones entering the airspace of gardens, spying on properties, looking for unlocked doors especially during the warm summer months. With high definition cameras and zoom function they can spy from distance.

Spy drone listening and video device
There will be mini drones entering properties and some hiding and recording, filming, some even strong enough to open doors from inside.
Time to secure from inside and sweep homes and offices with anti-spy devices.

The Five Laws Of Stupidity

You're probably assuming that people are intelligent based on superficial and
irrelevant criteria like their job, education level, class, race, whether or not they're eloquent and other biases that you may have about assuming that if somebody is a certain way that means they're not stupid. You're wrong as those things are all irrelevant.

The probability that a person is stupid
is independent of any other characteristic so the idea here is that every characteristic that you can imagine whether it's gender race every characteristic that you can imagine whether it's gender race nationality education level income any category can imagine is uncorrelated to whether or not a person is stupid.

There are stupid Nobel Prize winners so you can't predict whether a person is stupid or not by looking at any of these other characteristics that they might have.

15 different teaching methods of the Qur’an by Prophet Mohammed (salAllahualayhi'wasalaam)
Taught both directly and through instructions to his companions to go and teach the Qur’an

The Prophet ﷺ did not read or write, nor did the majority of the initial recipients of his message. Therefore, oral delivery, via accurate articulation and commitment to memory, served as the primary method of transmission.

Second, the Prophet ﷺ encouraged written documentation and appointed official scribes like Zayd Ibn Thabit. However, he maintained verbal delivery as the principal method even after much of the Qur’an had been written down.

The Prophet taught the Qur’an in two ways: 1) iqrāʾ: he recited it to a companion, who then recited the same part back to him, and 2) ʿarḍ: the companion recited to the Prophet ﷺ what they previously learned from him to verify, review, and correct their recitation.

The seerah and ahadith illustrate how the Prophet ﷺ applied the two methods of iqrāʾ and ʿarḍ in looking for every opportunity to teach the Qur’an to his companions.

Below are 15 ways he taught the Qur’an directly or instructed His companions to go and teach the Qur’an

1 – Instantly Reciting to companions upon revelation

In these ways, the companions were able to witness the Qur’an’s revelation firsthand, receive it through direct recital delivery, and instantly interact with the Divine message as it was revealed.

Regarding the revelation of al-Mursalāt, ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd reported that, “While we [a group of the Prophet’s companions] were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a cave at Minā, Sūrah al-Mursalāt was revealed and he recited it, and I heard it directly from his mouth as soon as he recited it.” [Bukhari]

2 -Reciting to those he was inviting to Islam

One of the daʿwah approaches that the Prophetﷺused to unlock people’s hearts, such as AbūBakr’s, was to recite Qur’an to them. The Qur’an’s unmatched eloquence profoundly affected the Arabs, whose mastery of eloquence caused them to submit to its unprecedented style and transcendent nature.

3 -Teaching those who came to embrace Islam

The Prophet ﷺ taught Sūrah Yūsuf and Sūrah al-ʿAlaq toRāfiʿibn Rifāʿah and Muʿādh ibn ʿAfrāʾ when they came to him in Mecca to embrace Islam. [Mustadrak al-Ḥākim]

4 -Reciting to people gathered at the mosque

The Prophet ﷺ often recited the Qur’an publicly to large groups of people, especially those who gathered at the mosque.

5 -Reciting the newly revealed Qur’an during travel

Travel gave the Prophet ﷺ various opportunities to recite Qur’an. Ibn Masʿūd, narrated that the beginning of Sūrah al-Fatḥ was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ while returning to Medina from al-Ḥudaybiyyah.

6 -One-on-one teaching

Many companions explicitly mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ taught them individually. For example, Ibn Masʿūd said, “I have read more than 70 sūrahs to the Prophet.” [An-Nisai]

7 - Reciting at gatherings

8 -Reciting in prayer

As the regular imam of the community, the Prophet ﷺ would recite the Qur’an out loud in at least six rakʿahs on a daily basis (in the mandatory prayers) and an additional two rakʿahs on a weekly basis (jumuʿah),in addition to occasional prayers such as Eid.

9 - Recitingin sermons

The Prophet’s sermons offered a platform for repeatedly reciting verses as well as broadcasting newly revealed ones. Umm Hishām bint Ḥārithah ibn al-Nuʿmān said that she memorized Sūrah Qāf from attending the Prophet’s ﷺ Friday sermons (khuṭbahs) because of how often he would recite it. [Abu Dawud & An-Nisai]

10 -Sending delegates to Muslim gatherings reciting newly revealed Qur’an

In the 9th yearof the hijrah, the Prophet ﷺ sent the first 40 verses of sūrah At-Tawbah with AbūBakr, whom he appointed as the leader of the ḥajj season, to be recited by ʿAlī to pilgrims. During the hajj, Alī repeatedly recited the verses to every group of people he could reach -until his voice gave out. [Qurṭubī, al-Jāmiʿli-aḥkām al-Qur’an]

11 – AssigningCompanions to reach new Muslims

In every region he conquered in which Islam prevailed, he did not leave a group somewhere or any community of this ummah without a Qur’an teacher dedicated to teaching them.

12 - Companions teaching one another

There are many examples of this. The companions who immigrated to Abyssinia used to read, review, and study the Qur’an together.

13 -Sending messengers to villages and regions to teach the Qur’an

Muʿādh ibn Jabal was commanded by the Prophet ﷺ after the conquest of Mecca to stay there and teach people the Qur’an.

14 -Commanding military leaders to remain in newly conquered areas to teach new Muslims the Qur’an

In the 10th year of the hijrah, the Prophet ﷺ sent Khālid ibn al-Walīd to Banū al-Ḥārith ibn Kaʿb in Najrān and commanded him to invite them to Islam and, if they became Muslims, to stay among them to teach them Islam and the Qur’an.

15 -Travellers to and from Medina teaching Muslim Bedouins

Amr ibn Salāmah said, travellers would pass by us on their way back from[meeting with] the Prophet ﷺ. We used to ask them to teach us the Qur’an. They informed us that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Let the one with the most [memorization of] Qur’an lead you in prayer.” So, I used to lead them [my people] and I was one of their youngest [but] the one with the most memorisation of the Qur’an. [Al-Bāqillānī, al-Intiṣār]

All of these show the many ways the Prophet ﷺ ensured that the Qur’an was taught and lived by all sections of the new Muslim community.

May we also strive to recite, memorise and implement the Qur’an’s guidance and solutions in today’s society.

Overview
The ‘basic’ school curriculum includes the ‘national curriculum’, as well as relationships, sex and health education, and religious education.

The national curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so children learn the same things. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.

Other types of schools like academies and private schools do not have to follow the national curriculum. Academies must teach a broad and balanced curriculum including English, maths and science. They must also teach relationships and sex education, and religious education.

The workplace isn't always the source of stress and overwhelm.

For the colleague going through a toxic relationship at home.

For the colleague who is finding themselves again after a year of being home with their child.

For the colleague who goes home to an empty, silent apartment.

For the colleague who is struggling with their mental health and is afraid to be alone.

For the colleague who is watching a loved one grow weaker from illness at home.

For many, it can be a welcomed distraction from their home lives and a place where they can feel free and rediscover their true self.

Whether you're a director or a junior staff member, work can be an opportunity to temporarily escape the pressures of our personal lives and redirect our energy elsewhere.

That successful completion of a project, that published article, that comment of appreciation from a manager, that group lunch break could be the highlight of someone's day.

Not everyone needs to bare their soul in order to deal with the worries they're carrying with them, a positive distraction is sometimes all they need to remain resilient and keep going.

However, it is so important that they know they CAN share if they ever needed.

And it's up to the organisation to ensure they've created a psychologically safe environment for that to be an option for everyone.

There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to mental wellbeing but creating a safe space and positive culture at work can have an immeasurable impact on someone's life.

Let's not forget that.
