The terrifying horror trilogy finale to the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling series that includes Chasing the Boogeyman and Becoming the Boogeyman from “one of horror's indispensable writers” (Paste).Notorious serial killer Joshua Gallagher—dubbed “the Boogeyman” by the media—has vanished from prison. One moment, he was locked inside a maximum-security cell; the next, he was gone, leaving behind on the wall a crude hangman puzzle and two chilling words: IT'S TIME.Now, days later, the world is coming apart again. Bodies are turning up near writer and Gallagher confidante Richard Chizmar's home, echoing the Boogeyman's signature horrors. The news frenzy reignites while the police chase shadows...even as Gallagher's twisted true crime fanbase celebrates online, acknowledging that he's something more than human now.To everyone else, it's a desperate hunt for answers. To Chizmar, it's more like destiny closing in. The evidence, the sightings, the voices in the dark all point to one unthinkable conclusion: the Boogeyman never left. And very soon, Chizmar must come face-to-face with the thing wearing Gallagher's skin, and learns all too quickly that some nightmares don't return—they evolve.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Disclaimer: This episode is for general informational and entertainment purposes and discusses Illinois accessible parking rules as we understand them at the time of recording. Laws and regulations can change, so please check official sources for the most current information.In this episode of The Clopen Effect, we discussed Illinois laws and regulations concerning parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities.We covered who may legally use designated accessible parking spaces, how disability parking placards and license plates must be displayed, and the requirement that the authorized person be present and enter or exit the vehicle when using the parking privileges.We also discussed access aisles, the striped areas next to accessible parking spaces. Illinois law prohibits parking in these access aisles, including for vehicles displaying disability parking placards or license plates.The episode also covers the difference between standard disability parking placards and Illinois' meter-exempt placards. A blue permanent placard does not provide an exemption from parking meter fees or time limits; the yellow-and-gray meter-exempt placard provides those exemptions subject to the applicable restrictions.Finally, we discuss misuse of disability parking placards and license plates, applicable penalties, and how to report alleged abuse of Illinois' disability parking program. The Illinois Secretary of State specifically notes that not all disabilities are apparent and advises people not to confront someone they suspect of misuse.If you're a member, use the private RSS feed link you received when you signed up for the $2/month membership.

You have a sponsor. So why didn't they speak up when it counted? A director had exactly what women are told to go get: a senior leader who respected her, knew her work for years, and wanted to see her rise. Then a promotion cycle came around, and he said something warm and vague. Not because he didn't support her, but because when her name came up, he didn't know what to say that would set her apart. Someone else got championed with specifics.Having a sponsor isn't the same as activating one. The difference is what you put in their hands.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton closes the four-part September series with the step that carries the most weight: equipping your sponsor to champion you with specifics. She explains why goodwill alone doesn't move a decision, why the few seconds your name is in the air go to whoever speaks with specifics, and how to hand your sponsor three things they can use the moment it matters.This is Part 4, the finale of the four-part series "Position Yourself for What's Next."What You Will LearnWhy a sponsor who supports you and a sponsor equipped to represent you are two different things.What happens in the few seconds your name comes up in a room you're not in.The three things to hand your sponsor: what you want, why you've earned it, and the words they can repeat.How to open that conversation so it lands as equipping someone, not asking a favor.Where to start if you don't have a sponsor yet.Who This Is ForThis episode is for high-performing women in middle and senior management who already have a sponsor or senior advocate and want that support to show up as specific, persuasive words in the rooms where decisions get made.Your Action StepThis week, identify one sponsor and prepare the three things: what you want, the results that back it, and one sentence they can repeat. Then have the conversation. You're handing someone who already backs you what they need to say it out loud when it counts.Common Questions About Sponsorship at WorkHow do I get my sponsor to advocate for me? Equip them. Bring three things: what you're putting yourself forward for, the results that back it, and one sentence they can repeat word for word. Sponsors rarely stay quiet because they don't want to help. They stay quiet because they don't have the words ready in the moment.Why isn't my sponsor speaking up for me? Usually it isn't a lack of support. When your name comes up, your sponsor has a few seconds to say something that sticks. With nothing specific to draw on, they reach for warm, general praise, and general praise doesn't shift a decision.What's the difference between having a sponsor and activating one? Having a sponsor means someone with influence is invested in your growth. Activating one means they're carrying your ask, your evidence, and your language into rooms you're not in. The second is what changes outcomes.What if I don't have a sponsor yet? Then building the relationship is your first step, not this one. Episode 161 walks through how to get a sponsor using a 15-minute coffee chat, and Episode 158 explains the sponsorship gap and why women are often mentored rather than sponsored.AI Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready)Use this prompt to prepare the conversation that activates your sponsor.

Spiritual Offices #3: This message focuses on God's Divine plan to flow His love into believers and out into a lost world through Spiritual offices appointed to the Church. I highlight how the ascended Christ gave grace gifts [Gk: doma] in the form of specific ministry roles -- apostles, prophets, evangelists and pastor-teachers -- for the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry and the edification of the body of Christ [Ephesians 4:7-16]. I compare these foundational roles to the human body system: apostles lay the structural foundation, prophets act as the nervous system providing direct spiritual inspiration, evangelists operate as the digestive system bringing in and assimilating new converts and pastor-teachers serve as the circulatory system distributing life and sound doctrine. The crucial function of teachers is to instruct the congregation, correct false teaching and establishes believers firmly in the Word [1 Corinthians 12:28; Acts 13:1-5].  I transition to local leadership, the distinct responsibilities of elders, bishops [overseers] and deacons in maintaining congregational stability and spiritual health. Citing 1 Timothy 5:17 and 1 Peter 5:1-10, elders and pastors are urged to lead as humble examples rather than lording over God's heritage, laboring in the Word and doctrine while equipping saints to stand victorious against the devil through faith in Christ's death, burial and resurrection. I share criteria for local leaders drawn from 1 Timothy 3:1-10 and Philippians 1:1, which distinguish spiritual overseers from deacons who handle administrative and financial service, while Acts 14:23 shows Paul and Barnabas ordaining elders to oversee each assembly. Ultimately, this sermon underscores that all Spiritual offices serve to equip [mend and shape up] saints so that the church can mature, exercise Spiritual gifts in unity and demonstrate God's overcoming love to the world. Join me as I share these Scriptures for an edifying time in God's Word. Selah!

We took a lighter look at some of history's most bizarre and brutal medieval torture devices. We talked about what these devices were supposedly used for while also questioning how much of the stories surrounding them are actually true. Thankfully, nobody had to test any of them out because retail already has enough ways to torture you. It was a darkly funny trip through history, proving once again that people have been coming up with questionable ideas for a very, very long time.If you're a member, use the private RSS feed link you received when you signed up for the $2/month membership.

When your name comes up in a promotion conversation, what does someone say about you? Picture it. A promotion list gets drawn up, or a stretch project needs an owner. Someone speaks up for you: "She's great. Really reliable. Works hard." It's kind, and it's true. And it does nothing, because reliable and hardworking describe half the people in the building.What you bring has to stand on its own when you're not there to explain it. If it can't be repeated in one clear sentence, it doesn't survive the rooms you're not in. The problem isn't that people don't see what you're worth. It's that they can't put it into words when it counts.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton shows how to describe your value in one specific, repeatable sentence, a personal brand statement built for the rooms you're not in. She explains why being good at many things can blur how people describe you, why generic words like reliable and hardworking don't sway decisions, and how to build one outcome-based sentence your advocates can carry for you.This is Part 3 of the four-part series "Position Yourself for What's Next."What You Will LearnWhy being good at many things can make your value harder for others to describe.Why generic words like reliable and hardworking work against you when decisions get made.How to build a one-sentence personal brand statement around an outcome, not a trait or a title.How to test whether your sentence is repeatable enough for someone to carry word for word.Who This Is ForThis episode is for high-performing women in middle and senior management who deliver across many areas but get described in generic terms, and want the people who decide their future to name exactly what they bring.Your Action StepThis week, use the AI prompt below to write your one sentence. Start with "I'm the person who," and finish it with the outcome that's unmistakably yours. Then say it out loud and ask yourself: could someone repeat this word for word after hearing it once? If yes, you've got it. That's the sentence that walks into the rooms you can't.Common Questions About Describing Your Value at WorkHow do I describe my value at work in one sentence? Build it around the outcome you reliably deliver, not a trait or your job title. Start with "I'm the person who" and name a specific result, like "I'm the person who takes the project everyone's avoiding and gets it across the line." A specific, vivid line gets repeated. A generic label gets forgotten.Why doesn't being called reliable or hardworking help my career? Those words describe most of the people around you, so they don't set you apart. When all an advocate has is general praise, it doesn't sway a decision. A specific, outcome-based sentence is what people remember and repeat when opportunities get assigned.What's a personal brand statement, and how do I write one? It's a short line that tells people the outcome they can count on from you. Keep it to one sentence, build it around a result you deliver again and again, and test it out loud. If someone could repeat it after hearing it once, it's working.AI Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready)Use this prompt to distill your value into one specific, repeatable sentence. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I want to define my value in one specific sentence that the people who decide my future can repeat when I'm not in the room. Help me build it around the outcome I reliably deliver, not a trait or a job title.Ask me 3 questions:1. What is the outcome people can count on when they hand something to me?2. What do colleagues come to me for that they don't go to others for?3. What is a specific result I've delivered that shows this in action?Then write:- Three versions of a one-sentence value statement, each starting with "I'm the person who" and naming a specific outcome.- For each one, a shorter third-person version someone else could say about me in a meeting.Constraints:- Build the sentence around a specific outcome, never a generic trait or a job title- It must be repeatable word for word after hearing it once- It must sound natural when spoken aloud, not like a resume line- Avoid softening language like "just," "help with," "kind of," or "a little"- Avoid generic words like "reliable," "hardworking," or "team player"Example (output style)First person: "I'm the one who takes the accounts we're about to lose and turns them around."Third person: "She's who you give the accounts you can't afford to lose."Mentioned in This EpisodeEpisode 199: How to Claim What You've Already Earned (Part 2 of the series)Ready to Go Deeper?Book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele to talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what it'll take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.comBook a Leadership Strategy Call: https://calendly.com/kele-thetailoredapproach/leadership-strategy-call

Spiritual Offices #1: This message introduces the study by establishing that believers must first understand their position and identity as sons and daughters of God in Christ before operating in spiritual offices. Drawing from the first three (3) chapters of Ephesians, I explain that believers are made righteous, blessed with all spiritual blessings, sealed with the Holy Spirit and resurrected into New Life with Christ. Moving into Ephesians chapters 4 through 6, the sermon outlines how believers should practically conduct themselves, highlighting seven (7) distinct "walks": walking in unity [4:1-16], holiness [4:17-30], love [4:31-5:2], light [5:3-14], wisdom [5:15-17], praise [5:18-20], and harmony [5:21-6:9]. Then, this message begins to examine the five (5) spiritual offices -- apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers -- bestowed by Christ upon His ascension to equip the saints for ministry and to edify the body of Christ into Christian maturity [Ephesians 4:8; 4:11-16]. I compare these offices to human body systems, pointing out that apostles and prophets function like the skeletal, muscular and nervous framework, built on the foundation of Christ as the chief cornerstone [Ephesians 2:19-20]. I go on to clarify that while "not" every believer holds a spiritual office, all members receive spiritual gifts to herald the Gospel of Christ's death, burial and resurrection, which we will study in the weeks to come. Join me as I begin this new series to bring spiritual insight through exhortation into the function of the body of Christ as a whole. Selah!

Andy Burnham gave the British people the impression that he had a plan for the country, but as the saying goes, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Have you ever removed plaque using a scaler or ‘air-polisher' and notice that the demineralised enamel flaked away?Scaling and polishing is a routine part of preventive dental care — but could some of our traditional cleaning methods be doing more than we realise? A whitening specialist who works without a drill, scaler or air polisher argues that some approaches to cleaning may affect the enamel, and that hydrogen peroxide gel can remove plaque without touching the tooth surface.Dr Wyman Chan has done nothing but tooth whitening since 2002, when he closed his general practice for a dedicated whitening centre, and he developed the chemical-polishing gel which is at the centre of this episode. He is joined by Dr Niki Shah, a UK general dentist and practice owner whose company distributes the product in the UK, and who now runs most of his hygiene this way.In this episode, they explain which patients they believe may benefit most, walk through the full chairside protocol, and discuss the limitations of the approach and where it may not be appropriate.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Manicuring Worn Lower IncisorsWorn lower incisors sit sharp against the upper teeth, concentrating stress. Take a Sof-Lex disc and manicure them, rounding the edges from pointed to smooth. Show the patient in the mirror first and, borrowing Dr Michael Melkers' framing, ask if you can make their teeth look a little younger. It is surface topography, changed for force management, and the patient feels it with their tongue.What You'll Take From This EpisodeOn sound enamel, prophy paste and air polishing are low-risk; on demineralised enamel hidden under plaque, the same abrasion can flake the surface.Chemical polishing does not lift calculus; where calculus is present, ultrasonic or hand scaling is still required.Dr. Wyman Chan offers a 3% hydrogen peroxide gel as a plaque and biofilm adjunct, not a replacement for oral hygiene instruction.The strongest cases for this are anxious, paediatric, orthodontic, special-needs and geriatric patients who tolerate scraping poorly.The chairside protocol runs about twelve minutes and still ends with manual agitation using a single-tufted brush.No published evidence supports the product's clinical claims yet; Dr. Wyman Chan describes studies in progress.Highlights of This Episode00:00     Teaser01:21     Rethinking How We Polish Teeth03:36     Protrusive Dental Pearl: Manicuring Worn Lower Incisors05:23     Meet the Guests: From Whitening to Chemical Cleaning12:10     What Is Chemical Polishing?

Spiritualities #3: This message emphasizes that believers must first understand their identity as new creations in Christ before they can operate in Spiritual gifts and minister in God's ability. Also, we must not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by renewing of our minds through the Word of God to discern God's acceptable and perfect will [Romans 12:1-2]. Through Christ's death, burial and resurrection, we are delivered from Satan's dominion and raised into heavenly places as sons and daughters of God.  I highlight how God blessed us with all Spiritual blessings, redeemed us and granted us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so we may know the rich inheritance and the exceeding greatness of His resurrection power by seating us above all principalities [Ephesians 1:3-21]. That salvation involves confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection, establishing faith that provides both Spiritual rebirth and physical healing. That Christ defeated Satan and ascended above every authority!  As believers we are empowered to live in continuous triumph and serve as God's representatives, because grace is His willingness to use His power on our behalf to meet every need and cause us to triumph [2 Corinthians 2:14]. As new creations, we are made the righteousness of God in Christ, and entrusted with the Word and ministry of reconciliation to restore others [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. I reinforce that we are saved by grace through faith, created for good works, and reconciled into one household of God [Ephesians 2:1-10, 13-22]. I conclude that we are strengthened in the inner man and rooted in love, and filled with the fullness of God to do exceedingly abundantly above all  that we ask or think [Ephesians 3:14-21].

The most important EdTech skill might not be knowing which tool to use. It might be knowing when technology can actually help.New apps, platforms, and AI tools will always compete for your attention. Trying to keep up with all of them isn't realistic—and it isn't necessary. What educators need is a way to recognize opportunities, think critically about technology, and decide whether a tool will actually make learning or work better.That's the idea behind the Anytime EdTech Mindset.In Episode 270, Chris Nesi introduces a practical framework built around seven ideas: Ask, Notice, Your Learners First, Try, Iterate, Make Meaning, and Evolve.This isn't about using more technology. It's about using technology with purpose.Whether you're facing a classroom challenge, looking to improve a workflow, considering a new AI tool, or simply wondering if there's a better way to do something, this episode gives you a framework you can return to anytime.Because you don't need to know every tool.You need a better way to think when a new tool, challenge, or opportunity comes your way.You'll LearnHow to stop chasing every new EdTech tool and focus on real problems instead.Why anytime does not mean all the time when it comes to technology.How to identify what you're actually trying to accomplish before searching for a tool.Why observation matters before trying to solve a classroom or workflow problem.How to put learners—not features or trends—at the center of technology decisions.Why starting small can make trying new technology less intimidating.How to learn from imperfect first attempts instead of abandoning an idea too quickly.How to determine whether technology actually improved learning or simply added technology.When to keep, change, or abandon a tool or approach.How the ANYTIME framework can help you approach future EdTech challenges with confidence.EdTech RecommendationTeacher Hive — teacherhive.appBring the app you've built with AI.

Spiritualities #2: This message focuses on teaching "new creation realities" and the vital importance of believers coming into the spiritual knowledge of who they are in Christ. I warn that believers are often defeated and held back simply due to a lack of spiritual knowledge [Hosea 4:6]. To counteract this, I review verses from the book of Ephesians, emphasizing that believers are blessed [1:3], chosen [1:4], predestinated [1:5], accepted [1:6], redeemed and forgiven [1:7], obtained an inheritance [1:11] and sealed by the Holy Spirit [1:13]. I highlight Paul's apostolic prayer that believers would receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ [1:17], waking up to the fact that they are seated together with Christ in the heavenly places [2:6]. Ultimately, believers must recognize that their lives are hidden with Christ in God [Colossians 3:3] and that they have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light [Colossians 1:13], gaining the truth that makes them free indeed [John 8:31-32, 36]. Part 2 Armed with this knowledge, believers can actively develop their faith and walk in the authority of spiritual gifts, which must always be operated through divine love and compassion [Matthew 14:14; 1 Corinthians chapter 13]. I urge believers to be imitators of Christ [Ephesians 5:1] and to daily confess that they are new creations [2 Corinthians 5:17] and the righteousness of God [2 Corinthians 5:21]. Having received the Divine nature of God [2 Peter 1:4] and the measure of faith [Romans 12:3], believers are empowered to exercise true authority. I point to Mark 16:17-18 to demonstrate that believers have authority in Jesus' name to cast out devils, speak in tongues and lay hands on the sick so they recover. Believers are not beggars but joint-heirs with Christ [Romans 8:16-17] and kings who reign in life [Romans 5:17], called to exercise spiritual dominion over the earth as God intended from the very beginning [Genesis 1:26-28]. Join me as we delve into these Scriptures for an exciting time of exhortation. Selah!

Solution providers across payments and fraud prevention are launching shows right now, and that is a good thing. More voices in this space means more people learning out loud. Jordan sits down with Brian Davis to talk about what it actually takes to keep one running.   This one is less about fraud and more about the machine behind the content: setting goals before you set a budget, getting marketing and the C suite aligned on what an episode is supposed to do, and what happens when a sponsor expects conversions from a campaign that was built for awareness. Brian brings the demand gen and community perspective. Jordan brings four years of running a show as a team of one.   They get into the guest pool question nobody plans for, where a fraud cast should plant its flag in the funnel, why the attribution argument tends to sort itself out, and how different production models all end up working for different goals. Jordan also walks through his gear stack and the specific choices that make a show look and sound the way he wants, including the piece of equipment most people skip.   If you run marketing at a vendor, host a show, appear on webinars, or are thinking about pointing a camera at yourself for the first time, there is something in here worth stealing.   Topics covered: Founder led and executive led content strategy Podcast sponsorship goals, CTAs, and realistic expectations First touch and last touch attribution in B2B payments marketing Why enterprise merchants weigh fraud podcast invitations carefully Editorial independence when your show and your employer share a space Recording podcasts on the conference floor Microphones, mirrorless cameras, lighting, and audio levels for video Editing workflows, distribution, and why consistency beats production value Equipment Mentioned and Suggested: Sony a6700 - https://a.co/d/03P0tsuf Shure MV7+ - https://a.co/d/03P0tsuf Shure SM7dB - https://a.co/d/03P0tsuf Fifine Mic - https://a.co/d/03P0tsuf Other mentions: Interface for mic to computer - https://a.co/d/0fCRRpiK Cloudlifter (not needed for Sm7dB only SM7B regular) - https://a.co/d/07HYP75U Sony ZVE-10 (non usb 4k) - https://a.co/d/07HYP75U ------------------------------------ This episode is brought to you by ⁠WhoBilled.me⁠.

Brands pay five figures for AI workflows that turn repetitive creative work into reusable systems teams can run at scale.Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn speedrun their way into a useful business model while trying to explain node-based AI without melting anyone's brain. The opportunity itself is practical. Find expensive, repetitive creative bottlenecks, turn them into reusable workflows, and make the complicated machinery simple enough that an entire team can actually use it.The boys break down Figma Weave, node-based AI workflows, system prompts, batch processing, arrays, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Flux, Nano Banana, Gen Effect, and MCP. SharkNinja and BarkBox examples show how AI workflows support localization, product visualization, asset re-versioning, creative production, team handoff, and scalable content generation.The bigger idea here is that the value comes from encoding the process, creative logic, and standards into a system that can be reused across hundreds of assets without starting from zero.#AIWorkflows #CreativeAutomation #GenerativeAI #FigmaWeave #aiforbusiness ---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Cold opener07:22 Why a full Figma Weave episode09:53 How node workflows went mainstream in a year14:10 Why use a node-based AI tool at all?19:02 Inside the Figma Weave AI toolbox20:53 How to sell AI workflows to businesses23:24 Why brands pay five figures for AI workflows24:33 How SharkNinja localizes across 35 markets30:07 Why recurring tasks belong in workflows31:34 Live build: your first AI workflow39:09 What the Gen Effect node can do44:00 How to turn an image into a 3D asset48:46 Scale one fashion image into reusable assets55:18 How to build a batch-processing engine1:03:24 Prompt vs system prompt: what's the difference?1:05:38 Turn a node graph into a reusable tool1:12:17 Engineering an automated listicle video1:14:51 One-shot video vs modular AI production1:24:29 How BarkBox fixed one production bottleneck1:35:20 Where AI workflows create business ROI1:38:20 Why workflows survive every new AI model1:39:29 Paste your workflow into Claude to debug it1:42:57 Use AI workflows as callable functions1:44:28 Publish your workflows into Claude MCP1:46:09 Resources and wrap-up---FIGMA WEAVE 15% OFF: Use code FASTHOURS15 at checkout- 15% off the first purchase of a Figma Weave Starter, Pro, or Team subscription- One-time use per person- Applies to the first month (for monthly plans) OR first year (for annual plans)OUR FREE FIGMA WEAVE WORKFLOWS:Drew's Apparel Photoshoot: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/JV8vBtbkOl3vNeiJjAYwxNDrew's Product Social Images: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/la8iMD20eGX4eGF91qunVuRory's Listicle: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/SpLj0jsU8hThMmHWtfmT37Rory's SD2.5 Prompting: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/MdYt6UJi6ch0MkgxTaCe6rRory's GenEffects Collage: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/sX4dJgsrp9DIrOz5f9ojX1Rory's Batch Generator: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/f9OljOQLkPbJ9Q04iN8UouRory's El Camino Concept: https://app.weavy.ai/flow/BPfVXywHhoymEi3CFxOO3Q

Quick Recap* Meaning of the surah: “The Female Cow.”* Number of ayat: 286.* Nickname: The peak (summit) of the Quran.* Virtue: On the Day of Judgement, Al-Baqarah and Ali Imran will come and shade their companions.On dividing the surah: We are studying Al-Baqarah in nine parts. This division is a teaching aid created by scholars to help us navigate the surah — it is not divine. The order of the surahs themselves (Al-Baqarah, then Ali Imran) comes from Allah, but splitting a single surah into portions is a human tool. Others divide it into five, twenty, or a different number; none of them are “wrong.”Part 1 covers the groups of people. We are almost finished with the first group: the people of taqwa.Ayah 1 — Alif Lam MimThree lessons drawn from the opening letters:* 1. To attract attention.* 2. A challenge to the Arabs. If you don't believe the Quran is from Allah, here are the very letters it is built from — produce something like it. After 1400 years the challenge stands unmet. This is not accepted on faith alone; it is historically established, because the height of Arabic eloquence was during the Prophet's ﷺ time, and no one then could match it.* 3. A lesson in humility. Humans do not know everything; our intellect has a limit.Ayah 2 — Guidance for the People of TaqwaThe Quran is guidance for the people of taqwa. This links back to our central dua in Al-Fatihah — Ihdina as-sirat al-mustaqim (”Guide us to the straight path”).Working definition of taqwa: mindfulness of AllahWhere this definition comes from: the well-known image of walking a path lined with thorns and lifting your garment to avoid being caught. That image was given by the companion Ubay ibn Ka'b, in answer to Umar ibn al-Khattab.Taqwa is internal — you cannot see it directly — but it shows through certain characteristics, listed in the ayat that follow.Ayah 3 — Three Characteristics of the People of Taqwa* 3.1 — Belief in the unseen (al-ghayb).* 3.2 — Establishing prayer (yuqimuna as-salah).* 3.3 — Charity: “and from what We have given them, they spend.”Why “from what We have given them” matters: everything we own comes from Allah. Allah is Al-Ghani, the Most Rich, who owns everything. If you spend the way He asks, He can give you more — His wealth is unlimited and does not run out. The Prophet ﷺ said the one who gives charity will never become poor.⚠ Arabic to verify before publishing: the Arabic for ayah 3 (belief in the unseen, establishing prayer, and spending) arrived with encoding errors in the transcript and has been rendered in English only. Paste in clean Arabic if you want it displayed.Ayah 4 — Belief in RevelationTwo further characteristics:* Belief in what was sent down to you — the Quran.* Belief in what was sent down before you — the previous scriptures.The previous scripturesFour scriptures total, including the Quran — so three before the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, in order:* Tawrah — revealed to Prophet Musa.* Zabur — revealed to Prophet Dawud.* Injil — revealed to Prophet Isa.Understanding the BibleLiving in a globalised world, it helps to understand the landscape of the largest religion, Christianity — close to Islam in numbers. So: which of the three scriptures is the Bible?None of them, exactly. The Bible is not a single book — it is a collection of books. (The word itself relates to biblio, “book,” as in bibliophile and bibliography.) It contains a changed and combined version of these earlier revelations.The Bible has two major parts:* The Old Testament — also known as the Jewish Bible. A Jewish person referring to “the Bible” means only this. Its three major sections are abbreviated Tanakh:* T — Torah (believed to be what was revealed to Musa).* N — Nevi'im (the Prophets).* K — Ketuvim (the Writings). Zabur = Psalms sits here, as a book within this section.* The New Testament — mainly the Gospels plus letters.* Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are gospels according to each name.* Letters: written by Paul to the early Christian communities (e.g. the Corinthians) — his written guidance in reply to their questions.Injil = “good news.” “Gospel” also means good news. The Injil we believe in is the Gospel of Isa — which we do not have today. What exists are gospels according to Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. The first three are called the Synoptic Gospels and broadly agree; John often tells a different story. Historically these were written well after the named figures, in Greek, while Prophet Isa spoke Aramaic — and several authors never met him.Contrast: the preservation of the QuranThe Quran reaches us in two independent ways that reinforce each other:* Unbroken chain of transmission. We recite exactly as the Prophet ﷺ recited — including points of articulation and the length of each sound (e.g. reading a madd at two, four, or six harakat). A reciter's certificate can be traced back through an unbroken chain to the Prophet ﷺ.* Archaeological evidence. The oldest known Quran manuscript, the Birmingham Quran, held at the University of Birmingham, was carbon-dated (announced 2015) to around the time of the Prophet ﷺ. It reached Birmingham via Iraq during the British occupation and sat unidentified in the archives until a PhD student recognised it.Side note — early Arabic script. In the Prophet's ﷺ time Arabic was written without dots or harakat, so words were distinguished by context. A famous (unverifiable) story tells of the governor Hajjaj ibn Yusuf receiving an undotted letter that could read either uqtul (”kill”) or aqbil (”receive”) — prompting the later introduction of dots. Even today dotting isn't fully standardised: in the Moroccan script, for example, qaf takes a single dot and final noon is written without one.How we relate to the BibleWe believe in the original Tawrah, Zabur, and Injil as revelation. Regarding the Bible in its modern form, we hold that it contains both truth and questionable material. The Prophet ﷺ guided us: you may narrate from the Israelite sources without sin — neither believing 100% nor rejecting 100%. Where it contradicts the Quran, the Quran is Muhaiminun alaih — it stands over and supersedes the rest, because its authenticity is guaranteed. This does not mean we disrespect the Bible; it still contains revelation from Allah.Ayah 5 — Certainty in the Akhirah & True SuccessThe final characteristic: the people of taqwa are certain about the akhirah. Certainty is the operative word — not vague hope, but conviction.This certainty changes behaviour. If you are sure Allah sees you and that there are real consequences in the akhirah, you act well in public and private alike, whether or not anyone notices — because Allah knows and will compensate.The akhirah mindset = delayed gratificationWe already accept short-term discomfort for long-term reward: you study now (even though games are more fun) to earn good grades, a good job, and a good life later. That is a long-term view. Now scale it up — life on earth is roughly 80–100 years; the akhirah is forever. A smart person accepts a little discomfort now to secure eternal good.Just as someone serious about becoming a doctor takes biology and prepares deliberately, someone serious about Jannah does the actions that lead there. Saying you want Jannah while doing none of the work is only dreaming.The Marshmallow Test. In a well-known study, young children were left alone with one marshmallow and told that if they waited about 15 minutes without eating it, they'd get a second. Some ate immediately; some resisted and doubled their reward. Tracked into adulthood, many who couldn't wait struggled in life, while many who waited did well. The lesson: delayed gratification is a strong predictor of success. A Muslim, trained through prayer and charity to work now for reward later, should find this second nature.The king in the masjid (an illustrative story, chain unverified). A hooded king prayed Fajr with only a handful of people, then rewarded every person present with a free Hajj. The next morning the masjid overflowed — but the king wasn't there. The point: people chase instantreward. Prayer trains us for the opposite — to put in the work now and collect later.The word for “successful”: muflihunAllah calls these people al-muflihun, the successful — from the root falah. There are other words for success (fawz, fa'izin), but the same root also gives fallah, “farmer.” A farmer is the very picture of delayed gratification: plant, water, and protect the crop now; harvest much later. Placed right after prayer, charity, and belief in the akhirah, the choice of muflihun reminds us again: put in the work now, harvest it in the akhirah.Summary — Characteristics of the People of Taqwa* Belief in the unseen.* Establishing prayer.* Spending in charity from what Allah has given.* Belief in the Quran and in the previous scriptures.* Certainty in the akhirah.These are the people of guidance, and these are al-muflihun — the truly successful.Next week: a short continuation, then the second category of people. Come prepared to list the characteristics of the people of taqwa from memory. This is a public episode.

Everyone in fraud and risk is building AI agents. Almost nobody is asking the harder question: if every team has access to the same models, what's left that's actually yours?   In this episode of Fraudboxer, Jordan sits down with Richard Meng, founder and CEO of Roe AI (YC-backed, San Mateo), and Tal, an 18-year risk leader who has built and scaled programs across fintech, payments, lending, issuing, marketplaces, and merchant environments. Together they make the case that AI itself is becoming a commodity — and that the real competitive advantage is structured risk knowledge: the fraud typologies, investigation frameworks, and institutional expertise that live in your team's heads, in Jira tickets, and in Slack threads where no agent can reach them.   The conversation covers why single signals like velocity, device mismatch, and risky IP no longer mean what they used to; why fraud teams stay permanently reactive; what happens to entry-level analyst roles as AI absorbs L1 work — and what new roles replace them; whether rules and machine learning models are dying or just getting a makeover; and why the sub-300ms reality of real-time fraud decisioning means an LLM is never going to be the thing that blocks a transaction.   They also get into the idea of an open, industry-wide fraud typology map — a shared taxonomy of attack patterns and recommended investigations that any team's AI agents could consume. Not a data consortium, not PII sharing, and not the kind of closed, invite-only working group that leaves newer practitioners out in the cold. Whether that can actually get built is the open question of the episode.   If you work in fraud, risk, compliance, AML, trust and safety, or payments — or you manage a team that does — this one reframes what "using AI" actually means. As Jordan puts it: most people say they use AI, but they're reading AI, not using it. The fraudsters figured out the difference a while ago.   WHAT'S COVERED   Why AI models are becoming a commodity, and contextual intelligence is the real moat Fraud typologies - ATO, ACH fraud, friendly fraud, push payment fraud, triangulation schemes, return abuse, promo abuse - and why each needs its own investigation path The medicine analogy - why the diagnostic framework beats raw intelligence Velocity, device mismatch, and risky IP - signals that no longer mean fraud on their own What happens to L1 analyst roles, and the new jobs that get created instead Are rules dead? A story from inside Uber's rules engine and the Grafana dashboard that showed fraudsters reverse-engineering rules in real time Why sub-300ms decisioning means rules and ML models aren't going anywhere Rule performance monitoring - the thing almost nobody actually does How Roe AI is building a shared financial crime knowledge base, and whether it should be an open standard Where fraudsters are already outpacing defenders on AI adoption   LINKS   Roe AI: ⁠https://www.roe-ai.com⁠ Roe AI careers (they're hiring, including SMEs): ⁠https://www.roe-ai.com/careers⁠ Richard Meng on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/berkeleymeng/⁠ Tal Yeshanov on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/talyeshanov/⁠ WhoBilled.me: ⁠https://whobilled.me⁠   This episode is brought to you by ⁠WhoBilled.me⁠.

Send us Fan MailYou can have the results, the experience, and a clear point of view—and still undercut your authority before you make your point.A senior director had recently led her team through a complex merger. When a VP role opened, she walked in ready to make her case. But without meaning to, she opened with: “I wanted to talk to you about my growth here.”The problem was not her track record. It was the first six words out of her mouth.Here is what many women leaders miss: the words you use to open a conversation tell the other person how to receive you. Polite language can unintentionally position you as asking permission when you have already earned the right to lead the conversation.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton shares three simple language swaps that help your requests land with more confidence and authority. Learn how to move from asking permission to offering perspective, especially in the conversations that affect your visibility, career growth, and leadership opportunities.What You Will LearnWhy polite openers can quietly position you as seeking permission rather than leading.How the first few seconds of a conversation influence whether people receive you as a peer or as someone still proving her worth.Three language swaps you can use to communicate your perspective, business impact, and recommendation with more authority.Who This Is ForThis episode is for high-performing women in middle and senior management who carry real authority but sometimes undercut it with tentative language in the conversations where it matters most.Your Action StepThis week, choose one language swap and use it in a real conversation. Notice how it changes how you feel walking in and how the other person responds.Then use the copy-paste AI prompt below to create three swaps for an upcoming high-stakes conversation.AI Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready)Use this prompt to prepare the language for an upcoming high-stakes conversation. Paste it into your preferred AI assistant and answer the questions as they come.I'm a [role] in [industry]. I have an upcoming conversation with my [manager, peer, stakeholder] where I want my language to carry the authority I've already earned. Help me open with perspective rather than permission.Ask me 3 questions:1.     What is the conversation about, and what outcome do I want?2.     How was I planning to open it?3.     What have I already accomplished that gives me the authority to lead this conversation?Then write:One opening line that brings my point forward rather than asking permission to raise it.One line that frames my point as a business reality rather than a personal feeling.One line that offers my recommendation rather than inviting an easy no.Constraints:Forward-facing toneNo language that asks permission or positions me as proving my worthMust sound natural when spoken aloudAvoid softening language like "just," "maybe," "I felt like," or "I wanted to"Example (output style)Opening line: "I'd like to address how the Q4 staffing was decided."Business framing: "The impact was that my team lost two weeks of runway."Recommendation: "Here's what I'd recommend for the next planning cycle."Common Questions About Speaking With Authority at WorkHow do I sound more confident and authoritative at work?Start by paying attention to the language you use at the beginning of a conversation. Small shifts in how you introduce an issue, frame the impact, and offer a recommendation can change how your message lands.Why do my requests at work sound tentative?Tentative language often comes from polite phrasing that frames your professional judgment as a personal feeling or asks permission before you have made your point. This episode walks through how to recognize and replace those patterns.What should I say instead of “I felt like” at work?Move away from framing an important observation as only a personal feeling. This episode shares a stronger way to communicate the business impact of what you are noticing.How do I stop asking permission at work?Lead with your perspective, recommendation, or the issue you need to address. The key is learning how to be clear and warm without sounding tentative or overly deferential.Mentioned in This EpisodeEpisode 122: When Crucial Conversations Fall Flat for the full framework on commanding authority in high-stakes conversations.Ready to Go Deeper?Book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele to talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who helps women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Most salespeople are still using AI one prompt at a time. - Ask. - Answer. - Copy. - Paste. - Repeat.  Useful? Sure... But if that's all you're doing with ChatGPT, you're leaving most of the value on the table. The bigger opportunity isn't asking AI to write one more email. It's connecting AI to the places where your sales context already lives: email, calendar, CRM, Drive, Slack, meeting transcripts, and delegating entire workflows instead of isolated tasks. That was the experiment in a recent Predictable Revenue Podcast episode with Collin Stewart and Alex Miora, GTM at OpenAI. Instead of another conversation about what AI might do for sales someday, they built around three practical workflows: a current deals dashboard, a Follow-Up Friday system, and living account plans. Follow along with this format and create your own system with AI: https://predictable.fm/ai-sales-dashboard Highlights include:  Current state of AI tools and knowledge worker use cases (02:24), Building a current deals dashboard without a CRM (07:05), Multi-threading and voice mode for real-time management (25:17), Automating follow-up workflows and account plans (30:05), Transforming sales and customer engagement with AI (40:36), and more...

How often do you watch someone share their morning routine, workout plan, or what I eat in a day videos and think, maybe I should just do what they're doing?    This week, I talk about why copying someone else's routine rarely works the way we hope. Join me today to learn why someone else's healthy habits may not translate to your life, how to focus on the principles behind the routines you admire, and why building your own approach is what creates lasting change. We'll explore how to stop chasing the perfect routine, understand what actually drives your choices, and create habits that fit your life instead of trying to force yourself into someone else's.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/215       Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

Before you paste that customer list, that blood test result or that contract into your favourite AI tool, it's worth pausing for a second. Whatever you hand over doesn't just disappear after you get your answer. It sits somewhere, and depending on the tool and the settings, it might be doing more than just answering your question. Most people have never actually checked what happens to their data once it goes in or thought about the difference between what's fine to share and what's better redacted first. In this How I AI episode, Neo and I work through what's actually safe to give AI and what's better left out. We cover how to check your settings so free tools aren't training on your data, how to de-identify sensitive things like health results and contracts, the rules that change once you're at work, and the one question to ask yourself before you upload anything. What you'll learn: How to know if AI is quietly training on the data you give it, and how to switch that off The one question to ask before you upload anything to AI Why work and home should be treated completely differently when it comes to AI What to redact from contracts, spreadsheets and client files before sharing them Where the line sits between using AI as a sounding board and relying on it too much Practical AI tools for productivity and focus Real-world AI workflows used by high performers How to use AI at work without burning out Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/neoaplin/) and via inventium.ai (https://inventium.ai), where he leads Inventium's AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams. How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm.
