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
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.

Correlación no implica causalidad pero...

Aunque la economía es uno de los factores principales de la caída de natalidad, nuevos datos apuntan también al uso abusivo de smartphones 1/4 Image
Las tasas de natalidad se mantuvieron estables en EEUU, UK y Australia hasta 2007; en Francia y Polonia hasta 09; en México e Indonesia hasta 2012; y en Ghana, Nigeria y Senegal hasta 2013-15

Estos puntos de inflexión coinciden con la entrada de smartphones (imagen) 2/4

In der 9. „ Entlarvung des Tages“ befassen wir uns mit „legitimen militärischen Zielen“. 🇷🇺 ist ohne Kriegserklärung illegal in die 🇺🇦 einmarschiert & bezeichnete es als „militärische Sonderoperation“. Dennoch tun Vatniks so, als gäbe es für 🇷🇺 in der 🇺🇦 legitime Ziele.
1/7 Image
Russland begann den Krieg 2014, indem es die Krim mit anonymen Soldaten, den „kleinen grünen Männchen“, besetzte. Seitdem führt 🇷🇺 einen nicht erklärten, illegalen Krieg mit endlosen Kriegsverbrechen, etwa die Entführung 🇺🇦 Kinder,…
2/7

…die Konzentrationslager für 🇺🇦 in den besetzten Gebieten, die Einberufung von 🇺🇦 aus denselben Gebieten oder die gezielten Bombenangriffe auf Zivilisten, inkl. ihren schrecklichen „Double-Tap“-Angriffen.

Also nein, Russland hat keine „legitimen Ziele“ in der Ukraine.

A glass of red wine at lunch, cheese with every meal, almost no fish, even on the coast.

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.

🧵Image
Image
Image
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.Image
Image
Image
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 firstImage

Recurring structural patterns of industrial level fraud appear across multiple domains... layered intermediaries, upward flows, and reinforcing mechanisms...

The sequence below maps this architecture in four parts...

🧵 4-image systems breakdown below...
2/ Minnesota was not an outlier... it was the first clear fracture point in a much larger operating system... one built on high-trust access, fast money movement, and limited real-time verification... Image
3/ The same geometry repeats across programs... broad eligibility, delayed oversight, self-attestation, and low-friction reimbursement create predictable pathways...

Different cause, same rails, and same outcome... Image

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.

भारतातील १०० कोटी लोकं तर अतिशय गरजेच्या सगळ्या वस्तू देखील खरेदी करू शकत नाहीत. तो विषयच वेगळा.
पण जे मध्यमवर्गीय आहेत त्यांचीही अवस्था फारशी चांगली नाही, आणि येत्या काही वर्षात अधिक गंभीर होण्याची शक्यता स्पष्ट दिसत आहे. मध्यम उत्पन्न वर्गातील लाखो व्यक्ती दरवर्षी गरिबीत
ढकलल्या जात आहेत.
गुंतवणूक, आर्थिक नियोजन या गोष्टी टेलरमेड असतात, सरसकट सल्ला उपयुक्त नसला तरी काळजी म्हणून काही गोष्टी लक्षात घेणे उत्तम. (अपवाद असू शकतात)
* 'गुंतवणूक' म्हणून घर विकत घेणे सध्या टाळलेले बरे.
* राहण्यासाठी घर घेताना 'शक्यतो' तयार घर घेणे हा तुलनेने महाग असला
तरी सुरक्षित मार्ग आहे.
* अनेक बिल्डर्स, डेव्हलपर्सचे प्रोजेक्ट्स वेळेत पूर्ण होत नाही आहेत किंवा फसवणुकीच्या घटना वाढल्या आहेत त्यामुळे पूर्ण चौकशी, विचार, तुलना करून निर्णय घ्यावा.

1/ L'INVASIONE ITALIANA DEL TICINO:
Il Ticino è una regione della Svizzera italofona, considerata parte delle famose terre irredente italiane.
Non tutti sanno che per alcuni anni fu occupata dalle truppe del Regno d'Italia, durante l'età napoleonica. l'invasione italiana del ticino
2/ L'operazione militare fu un'iniziativa tutta italiana, infatti venne pianificata dal Viceré d'Italia Eugenio di Beauharnais ed eseguita dal famoso generale Achille Fontanelli con l'approvazione di Napoleone. Image
3/ L’abilità della classe dirigente italiana fu quella di sfruttare a proprio vantaggio la politica napoleonica del Blocco Continentale, che dal 1806, imponeva il divieto per gli stati satellite della Francia di commerciare con l'Impero Britannico. Image

10. The Last Day: Beyond Death

A Quatrain Poem🧵in 10 parts Image
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
🧵1/10 Image
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

🧵 Thread — URSS et nomades centrasiatiques : Autopsie d'une apocalypse multi-dimensionnelle.

Étude critique des rapports entre sociétés post-coloniales, États idéologiques et modernisation impériale, à partir du cas des kazakhs et kirghizs dans les années 1920-30. Image

Avant l’URSS, la steppe asiatique relève déjà d’une longue histoire impériale russe. Forts, lignes cosaques, postes militaires, villes-frontières : Omsk, Orenbourg, Semipalatinsk.

L’empire n’y découvre pas les nomades ; il les constitue en problème frontalier. Image
0B/30
Au XIXe siècle, la domination russe reste discontinue, souvent indirecte. Khans, sultans, juges locaux et administrateurs impériaux coexistent.

Mais l’équilibre se déplace : le pouvoir sédentaire impose peu à peu son droit, ses normes et ses tracés.

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

But 8 out of 10 dying batteries just need 7 settings changed.

My brother was ready to upgrade.

I fixed his in 10 minutes.

No new phone. No battery replacement.

Here's what actually worked:
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.
2/ Turn off useless Background App Refresh

Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh.

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. 🧵 Image
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.
3/ FADE means taking the other side when aggressive flow becomes inefficient.

Example:

Buyers lift the ask aggressively.
But price does not move higher.
Ask liquidity reloads.
Absorption appears.
Price rejects.
That is reversal logic.

Nat Arn wrote, "People also forget that regions like Lika have had changing borders & mixed populations for centuries. Catholic Croats and Orthodox Christian Serbs lived in many of these areas together for generations under different empires & shifting frontiers.

During Ottoman expansion into the Balkans, many Christian families fled warfare & pressure in parts of Serbia and surrounding regions, with some settling in frontier areas such as Lika.

The history of the Balkans is deeply intertwined, complex, and shaped by centuries of migration, coexistence, conflict, and cultural overlap.

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? 🧵 Image
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 Image

Prophet Muhammad (S) foretold Signs heralding the End of Days
like pearls rolling off a chain, once set in motion they’ll occur as he says

Arabia will turn lush green & Euphrates gold will murderers seek
Huge buildings will be built, mosques adorned & fools take leading roles
Muslim lands will be plundered & Faith will be dropped like hot coals

Polen boomt wirtschaftlich, ist sehr sicher und wird für deutsche Auswanderer zunehmend attraktiver.

Hinzu kommt, dass Eltern in Polen extreme Vergünstigungen bei der Einkommensteuer erhalten.

Ich habe mich lange gefragt, wieso es trotzdem immer noch so viele polnische Handwerker-Trupps in Deutschland gibt.

Bis ich die Zahlen durchgerechnet habe…
Das Median-Nettogehalt für Vollzeitkräfte in Polen (nach Abzug von Steuern und Sozialabgaben) liegt aktuell bei umgerechnet etwa 1.550 bis 1.750 Euro im Monat.

Starke Unterschiede je nach Region, Stadt oder Land.
Das Modell vieler polnischer Handwerkertrupps sieht wie folgt aus:

> Eine Person meldet in Deutschland ein Gewerbe an

> Deutsche Firma, deutscher Firmensitz, deutscher Steuerberater

> Der Einzelunternehmer stellt mehrere Mitarbeiter ein

I'm a middle eastern historian. My own family were made refugees. And this is my honest view of the Nakba (“catastrophe”) - the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1947–49 war surrounding the creation of Israel.

A thread. 🧵
2/ Israel’s Declaration of Independence explicitly called on Arab inhabitants to remain and become equal citizens. The Arab response explicitly called for genocide zbd expulsion of Jews. So it's important to note one side is evidenced to have preferred peace from the outset.
3/ And importantly: around 150,000 Arabs DID remain inside Israel after the war.

Today their descendants make up around 20% of Israeli citizens.

That matters historically, because many 20th century ethnic conflicts ended in near-total expulsions.
