One of the strangest du'a for wealth.
An amazing du'a of a great companion named Sa'ad ibn Ubadah (RA), asking Allah for abundance in wealth.

He used to say:
اللَّهُمَّ هَبْ لِي حَمْدًا وَمَجْدًا،
فَإِنَّهُ لَا مَجْدَ إِلَّا بِفِعَالٍ،
وَلَا فِعَالَ إِلَّا بِمَالٍ،
اللَّهُمَّ لَا يُصْلِحْنِي الْقَلِيلُ،
وَلَا أَصْلُحُ عَلَى الْقَلِيلِ
فَإِنَّهُ لَا مَجْدَ إِلَّا بِفِعَالٍ،

اللَّهُمَّ لَا يُصْلِحْنِي الْقَلِيلُ،
وَلَا أَصْلُحُ عَلَى الْقَلِيلِ
Allahumma hab li hamdan wa majdān, fa innahu lā majdā illā bi fi‘āl, wa lā fi‘āla illā bi māl. Allahumma lā yuslihuni al-qalīl, wa lā aslahu ‘ala al-qalīl.
O Allah, grant me praise and honor, for there is no honor except through worthy deeds, and no deeds except with provision. O Allah, little does not suffice for me, nor am I able to thrive upon little.

This is what people in the world's longest-living region eat. Men there reach 100 at ten times the global rate. Not the Mediterranean diet we've all heard about.
I'm Italian. Longevity isn't my expertise, but the Blue Zone research caught me. I went deep on one question: which other Italian regions have the same patterns, and which qualify for the 7% retirement tax.
Below: Italy's full Blue Zone map. 1 certified, 6 candidates. 6 of 7 also 7% eligible. Plus a livable town for each.

Quick reality check on what "Blue Zone" actually means before we get into it. It wasn't coined by a wellness app. Two demographers found it.
In 2004, Italian Gianni Pes and Belgian Michel Poulain were studying Sardinian centenarians. They drew blue circles on a map of villages where the centenarian rate was abnormally high. Dan Buettner picked up the brand and made the term global.
The criteria are stricter than most articles imply: rates around 50% above the national average, verified across church, civil, and military records, sustained for decades.
By that bar: Ogliastra is Italy's only certified Blue Zone. Cilento and the Sicilian Madonie have peer-reviewed studies showing similar patterns. Four other Italian regions are reported longevity hotspots but haven't been academically validated yet.
I'll mark each by evidence tier as we go. And by 7% eligibility at the end.
Let’s go.

1/ Ogliastra (Sardinia). Officially certified Blue Zone.
Pes and Poulain's original 2004 map covered 14 mountain villages in southeastern Sardinia: Villagrande Strisaili, Arzana, Baunei, Talana, Urzulei, Perdasdefogu, and others.
Stats: highest concentration of male centenarians on earth. The Melis family of Perdasdefogu holds the Guinness World Record for the longest combined sibling lifespan, awarded in 2012 with nine siblings whose combined age was 818 years and 205 days.
Diet: pane carasau, pecorino sardo, cannonau wine, fava beans, almost no fish despite the coast.
Lifestyle: shepherds walked 5-10 miles a day on mountain slopes into their 80s.
Livable nearby: Tortolì (10K, coastal, hospital, airport 15 min, 7% eligible). No big city within an hour. Nuoro (35K, 1h15 inland) is the closest provincial capital.
The gold standard. If you're going to see one Italian longevity zone, see this one first

It’s hard to take “summaries of the debate” like this seriously when they don’t note that PSZ have, for years, simply ignored AS’s counter-replies to their criticism. Also when they characterize the underreported income debate in such a PSZ-friendly way. (more)
First, when well-off (but below top 1%) people underreport income, sometimes their reported income is quite low. Duh. So if you simply give the top earners based on REPORTED income a proportional share of unreported income, you’re giving them too much.
Second, some actual top 1% people are below the top 1% of REPORTED income. Sometimes WAY below, like when they report negative business income (business losses). The PSZ approach gives them very little income and gives the top 1% of reported income too much.
Temperature dysregulation after COVID is not one problem.
You feel cold when others are comfortable. You flush after climbing stairs. You overheat in a warm restaurant and cannot recover for hours.
Each pattern has a different mechanism underneath.

2/7 Three subtypes show up most often in Long COVID.
Each one has its own trigger pattern. Each one points to a different test and a different treatment.
The first step is naming which one fits your symptoms.

3/7 Subtype 1. Autonomic.
The autonomic nervous system controls vasomotor tone. In dysautonomia, that control is dysregulated.
Flushing after standing, stress, or stairs. Hands cold, face hot. Core temperature normal. The surface regulation is what is broken.

Souls of the dead enter Barzakh, unable to return & repent sins
Ghosts are impersonations of the dead done by life-accompanying Qareen Jinns
Wealth, family & power don't benefit the dead: only on-going charity
like alms money, knowledge, a pious child, Mosque or fruit tree

Angels gently remove a dying Believer's soul into a scented cloth
but scary Angels rip out an evil soul into a stinky sack to Allah’s Wrath
Angels ascend to record the Believer in the Illiyun Book
Sijeen logs evil ones; their souls flung back till Resurrection is undertook

Apple wants you buying a new iPhone for $1,200.

1/ Find the real battery killers
Go to Settings → Battery.
Check:
– which apps use the most battery
– “Background Activity” under app names
If apps like Instagram, YouTube, Maps show high background activity,
they are draining battery even when you don’t use them.

Set it to Off (or Wi-Fi only).
Then turn OFF refresh for:
– social media apps
– shopping apps
– apps you rarely open
They do not need to run all day.

1/ In microstructure scalping, most decisions come down to one question:
Should I follow the aggressive flow, or fade it?
This is the core difference between:
• GO WITH
• FADE
Two completely different orderflow logics. 🧵

2/ GO WITH means following aggressive flow when it actually moves price.
Example:
Buyers lift the ask.
Ask liquidity pulls.
Price displaces higher.
Bids stack behind.
Breakout is accepted.
That is continuation logic.

But price does not move higher.
Ask liquidity reloads.
Absorption appears.

India says it wants to become a deep-tech and manufacturing power. It has IITs, startups, research grants, and now even a ₹1 lakh crore innovation fund.
So why do so few Indian technologies become real products? 🧵
So why do so few Indian technologies become real products? 🧵
A big reason is that India’s research system splits innovation into separate worlds.
Universities do “research.”
Industry does “products.”
The difficult middle — turning a lab prototype into a usable technology — belongs to nobody.

This middle stage is called the “valley of death.”
A university may build a promising battery, chip, laser, or automotive system prototype.
But taking it from experiment to manufacturable product needs:
-engineering
-testing
-integration
-patient funding
