#LongCOVID may leave scars that are visible in the eyes—even when routine eye exams are normal.
➡️ A new study shows that persistent ocular symptoms can last from 3 months to 3 years after even non-hospitalized COVID-19, revealing a distinct syndrome marked by strabismus, impaired near vision, autonomic pupil dysfunction, corneal nerve loss, and chronic T-cell activation. 1/

Even more remarkably, tear fluid contained a molecular fingerprint of persistent neuroinflammation, allowing researchers to predict post-COVID ocular disease with 77–91% accuracy.
➡️ The eye may therefore serve as a window into Long COVID, offering accessible biomarkers of ongoing immune-mediated nerve injury. 2/

The eye is not merely affected by Long COVID—it may provide one of the most accessible windows into persistent neuroimmune dysfunction.

5 signs your salah needs more khushu’
Salah is more than a physical act.
It is your conversation with Allah.
When the heart is absent, the body may still be praying, but the soul misses the sweetness of worship.
Here are 5 signs to reflect on:

Here are 5 signs to reflect on:
1. You rush through your salah.
Your focus is on finishing as quickly as possible instead of understanding that you’re standing before Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ prayed with calmness and taught us not to rush through our prayer.

Here are a few things Elm is currently thinking about (1/4):

1. Sources of influence on interest rates and stocks
We have been thinking about this topic a lot since attending the Journal of Investment Management conference in Berkeley earlier this year-- we hope to dig into this more on an upcoming Elm research piece.

2. Net Equity Issuance
Excepting the COVID-driven spike, this trend (dotted red line) toward neutral or positive net issuance represents a pretty significant development. And it isn't limited to equities, with a large amount of AI-related buildout being financed with debt.
It's too soon to say for sure where this is going, but if AI-led growth continues and remains extremely capital intensive, it could have material implications for markets and the long-term returns investors require to provide funding.

Most people look at a low P/E, a hot sector, or whatever is trending here.

Munger said if that was the only filter you ever used, you would beat the market.
A good business dipping under that line is usually fear or a macro scare. Above it, you are often paying for perfection.

Then demand high returns on capital, and durable ones.
Look at ROIC over 7 to 10 years, not the last two quarters.
Most companies earn their cost of capital and nothing more. The ones doing 15 to 25% for a decade while still growing are what actually compounds your money.

I’ve noticed that whenever Allah wants to bless you with something, He first prepares you for it.
He expands your capacity to receive it and helps you understand its true value. Once you are truly ready, He grants it to you.

Sometimes, we just aren't prepared to handle the blessings Allah wants to give us. He waits until we know how to carry them, and until then, He is simply training us.
Believe me, there is absolute goodness in every delay, because He never places a burden on a soul greater than it can bear.
A 21-year-old woman took all 5 anti-rabies injections and rabies immunoglobulin after a dog bite. Still she died of rabies.
Here are the real reasons why the vaccine sometimes fails and what we must fix.
1. Stitching the bite wound
Here are the real reasons why the vaccine sometimes fails and what we must fix.
1. Stitching the bite wound
1. Wound was stitched too early
Stitching a dog bite without first injecting serum ( Rabies immunoglobulin/RIG) inside can trap the virus. Doctors should avoid stitching deep dog bites whenever possible.

2. Cold-chain failure / loss of vaccine potency
Rabies vaccines are temperature-sensitive. Exposure to heat or freezing can destroy immunogenicity. Many hospitals and clinics still have weak cold storage. Strict temperature checks should be done everywhere.

Aniah Blanchard was just 19 years old when she was abducted from an Alabama convenience store & murdered.
Her killer was out on bond.
He had already been charged with kidnapping, attempted murder, & robbery. Yet he was released.
Weeks later, Aniah was dead.
🧵 Her story exposed a devastating failure in the justice system.

🧵 Her story exposed a devastating failure in the justice system.
Her family's loss became the catalyst for change.
In 2022, Alabama passed Aniah's Law, allowing judges to deny bail to defendants accused of certain violent crimes when they pose a danger to the public.
This year, Alabama voters approved expanding Aniah's Law to cover even more violent offenses.
For victims' advocates, it's one more step toward preventing dangerous offenders from victimizing another family.

“There are few people in Alabama and beyond that don’t know Aniah Blanchard’s name. Her life and her story are a testament to why we advocate for crime victims and the safety of the public every day. Her family has honored her by ensuring that no other family experiences the loss that they live with every day.” -Wanda Miller, @vocal_online
A man asked, “Ya Rasool Allah, if everything has already been written, then what is the point of working, choosing, or doing good deeds?”
It was a natural question. If Allah already knows the outcome, why should we strive at all?
The Prophet ﷺ answered in a way that corrects both confusion and extremes.
He did not tell people to stop striving.

Instead, he ﷺ said:
“Act, for everyone will be facilitated toward that for which he was created.”
Allah’s knowledge is complete.
Nothing happens outside His decree.
He already knows who will enter Paradise and who will enter Hell.
But that does not mean people are forced.
