Think battery storage systems are fire hazards? The data tells a different story.Today on the Clean Power Hour, Joe DeBellis, Global Head of Clean Energy at FireTrace, reveals shocking findings from a survey of nearly 4,000 Americans about battery storage safety. While headlines focus on rare fire incidents, 71% of Americans actually support battery energy storage technology.Here's what you'll discover:The surprising truth about battery fires: 89% start from electrical components, not the batteries themselves. Only 11% originate from battery cells or modules. Fire incidents have dropped 97% between 2018-2023, with just one fire per 35 gigawatts of installed capacity.Why public opposition exists: 52% of the 29% who oppose battery projects lack basic information about the technology. Misinformation drives fear more than actual risk data.What's inside battery containers: Beyond batteries, these systems contain HVAC equipment, power conversion systems, battery management systems, and control cabinets. Each component presents different fire risks requiring specific suppression strategies.FireTrace's dual approach to safety: Clean agent systems protect electrical components without damaging electronics. Aerosol technology using potassium carbonate prevents thermal runaway in battery cells.How developers can improve project approval: Proactive safety planning beats reactive measures. Early engagement with authorities having jurisdiction and communities builds trust through education.The regulatory landscape: UL 9540, NFPA 855, and evolving safety standards are creating better frameworks for safe deployment.The key takeaway: Focus fire prevention efforts on electrical components, not just batteries. This approach addresses 89% of actual fire risks while building community trust through education.Connect with Guest LinkedIn: Joe DeBellisWebsite: Firetrace Support the showConnect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Commercial & Industrial solar is no longer just about getting panels up on the roof (Or over the parking lot, as the case may be). I wanted to explore something that's been bugging me…given the increase in C&I traction lately, what's still holding the sector back from adopting batteries at scale?For the answer, I turned to Jayson Smith, Solutions Engineer at CPS America, to better understand how footprint, lead times, and complexity have historically stalled C&I battery storage adoption. But that's all rapidly changing thanks to smarter tech, tighter energy management integration, and a drive to reduce total cost of ownership. From 3.5-year payback periods to shrinking footprints, this episode is packed with insights to help installers and developers stay ahead of the storage curve.Expect to learn:

Discover Lafayette: Senator Brach Myers on Public Service, Family, and Revitalizing the Oil Center of Lafayette Louisiana State Senator Brach Myers, who began serving Senate District 23 in March 2025 after representing House District 45, joined Discover Lafayette to reflect on his deep-rooted commitment to public service, his childhood journey, and his ongoing mission to uplift Lafayette and the state of Louisiana. A Lafayette transplant by way of Palmetto and New Iberia, Brach shared, “Lafayette was always the big city to us. I joked and said that many days in the back of a hatchback car ride in the back to Lafayette.” He shared his love of Lafayette: “Lafayette has unmatched culture. You can see the most beautiful parts of the U.S., but there's nothing like coming home.” His upbringing was a blend of blue-collar life and entrepreneurial ambition, split between a trailer park in New Iberia and the early days of LHC Group, the home health care giant his father and stepmother, Ginger and Keith Myers, started in Palmetto, Louisiana. “My mom worked at the General Mill. She was a seamstress. My stepfather was a railroad engineer. She still is a hard worker. She owns a small embroidery business here in Lafayette.” Brach moved to Lafayette in 1999 to attend UL, where he met his wife Carly. They were married just six months into dating. “She's my absolute soul mate… We're residents of Bendel Gardens right here by the Oil Center.” Brach's day job is as Senior VP of Corporate Development at LHC Group, which provides care in over 40 states and employs more than 30,000 people. A humble public servant, he brings his business acumen, heart for his fellow man, and a drive to make things better in his position as State Senator. His son, Emile, shares the family's spirit of service. After seeing the mob of traffic each year at their neighbor's “Christmas Light House" (owned by Dr. Andy Blalock), Emile started selling hot chocolate to people stuck in line, to benefit local nonprofits. “He raised over $2,000 in one night the first year. Last year, he raised over $30,000.” It's now a full-scale community event with music, food trucks, and hundreds of visitors to Bendel Gardens. “He chooses a different charity every year. It's all on him.” Emile Myer's hot cocoa fundraiser has grown into quite a success over the years! Sen. Myers indicated that Emile will probably pass the baton soon to a younger entrepreneur who can carry on the fun event which benefits local charities. Brach brings a deeply thoughtful and humble approach to public service. “I never thought I'd be in the legislature… but I felt called to do it.” Inspired by conversations with his wife during long walks, he felt compelled to act: “I can sit on the sideline and complain about it, or I can roll up my sleeves and jump into the pit.” His campaign mantra has been to lead with transparency and openness. “I said, I'm going to contact everybody back. I'm going to give everybody a fair ear, even if we vehemently disagree.” His legislative office “looks more like a counseling office… People can come and sit down.” As a Senator, Brach now represents three times the constituents he did as a State Senator and works with six mayors instead of one. “It's a lot busier...but I don't take it lightly.” One of his legislative focuses has been health care, drawing from best practices across the nation. His H.E.R.O. (Healthcare Employment Reinvestment Opportunity) Healthcare Workforce bill, modeled after Kentucky and Florida legislation, aimed to reverse Louisiana's healthcare staffing crisis by broadening the program's scope and provide educational grants to reach as many people and institutions as possible. “We picked the things that worked and got rid of the things that didn't.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geae0oiLHMw He's also worked to streamline access to services through a “one door” policy for DCFS and Department of Health programs.

Než přišel do studia, uplaval ráno padesát bazénů. Ví to přesně, protože aby se nespletl, počítá uplavané bazény jako zlomky. Jeho prvním vzděláním byla střední zahradnická škola, a prý dodnes zná zpaměti latinské názvy pěti a půl tisíc rostlin. A do studia přišel v tričku s motivem filmu Kmotr. Ale prý to žádný podtext ani skrytý význam nemělo.Kdybyste neznali jméno mého hosta z titulku, asi byste po těchto informacích těžko tipovali, že jde o jednoho z aktérů tzv. bitcoinové kauzy. Česká politika i média jí žijí už mnoho týdnů, zatím však moc netušíme, co se vlastně seběhlo.V dnešní epizodě bude rozhovor právě se soudním znalcem Jiřím Bergerem. Známe se jen od vidění, ale dlouho, už od devadesátých let, kdy já o rodícím se českém webu psal do Reflexu a připravoval televizní pořad Zavináč, a on byl jako zakladatel serveru Notebooky.cz jedním z internetových pionýrů.Samotný rozhovor s Bergerem je dlouhý, a delší je i tento “propagační” text. Bitcoinová kauza je složitá, a je asi důležité náš rozhovor zarámovat do toho, co o této kauze zatím víme a co se o ní pouze dohadujeme.Jiří Berger je mužem mnoha oborů i profesí, a soudní znalectví v oboru kybernetika je jen jednou z nich. Příběh bitcoinové kauzy začal 7. března v kanceláři na pražské Bělehradské třídě. Kromě Bergera tam byl i advokát Kárim Titz, který zastupuje Tomáše Jiřikovského, pravomocně odsouzeného provozovatele nelegálního online tržiště Nucleus na takzvaném darknetu. Předmětem zájmu je starý kus výpočetní techniky, který má údajně ukrývat digitální jmění v bitcoinech. Později do kanceláře dorazil i notář.Berger, jako státem aprobovaná technická autorita, měl za úkol otevřít Jiřikovského bitcoinovou peněženku, ověřit její obsah a dohlédnout na převod části prostředků českému státu formou „daru“. To také podle svých slov udělal, transparentně a odborně správně.Bezprostředním výsledkem je převod bitcoinů v hodnotě zhruba jedné miliardy korun na účet Ministerstva spravedlnosti. Brzy se však ukáže, že to byl pouhý zlomek celkové částky. Objevují se informace, že v peněženkách spojených s Jiřikovského aktivitami mohly být prostředky v hodnotě až dvanácti miliard korun. Zbytek zůstal buď nedostupný, nebo zmizel.Trvalo řadu týdnů, než se informace o daru Jiříkovského dostaly do médií. Jiří Berger se ocitl v epicentru politického skandálu. Jedno jisté: jakkoli jeho jméno veřejnost neznala, nebyl a není nějakým bezejmenným expertem s kulatým razítkem. Jeho profesní dráha je mozaikou zdánlivě nesourodých prvků, které však dohromady tvoří obraz mimořádně schopného a ambiciózního člověka.Bergerova kariéra stojí na unikátním vzdělání. Vystudoval informatiku na České zemědělské univerzitě, získal titul MBA a překvapivě absolvoval i skladatelské oddělení Konzervatoře Jaroslava Ježka. Tato kombinace technického a uměleckého vzdělání naznačuje myšlení, které se neomezuje na jedinou disciplínu.A když jsem u vzdělání, Berger absolvoval prestižní akademii projektového leadershipu v americké NASA v roce 2014. Jde o elitní centrum, které školí manažery pro řízení nejkomplexnějších a nejrizikovějších projektů na světě, srovnatelné s vesmírnými misemi.Jak jsem říkal, Berger se už v devadesátých letech etabloval jako úspěšný podnikatel. V roce 2002 prodal internetové vydavatelství Notebooky.cz mediální společnosti MAFRA, kde se stalo součástí portálu Technet.Jeho klíčovými firmami jsou FRACTAL s.r.o. a e-FRACTAL s.r.o.. Nejde o malé IT firmy; podle veřejných registrů uzavřely se státními institucemi stovky smluv v hodnotě desítek milionů korun. Společnost FRACTAL působí jako významný prodejce letenek pro korporátní klientelu.Globální ambice dokresluje projekt PhoneCopy.com. Jde o fungující službu pro zálohu a synchronizaci dat z mobilních zařízení, která má díky nástupu cloudu své nejlepší období sice už za sebou, ale i tak se může pochlubit více než 1,25 milionem aktivních uživatelů po celém světě. Berger jako CEO firmy je do projektu aktivně zapojen, což dokládají i jeho příspěvky na firemním blogu.Bergerova expertíza není jen praktická, ale i teoretická. Je držitelem amerického patentu č. 7,904,431 s názvem „Metoda a systém pro automatizované modelování požadavků”. Tento patent není jen formalitou; jeho principy se aktivně používají.Je spoluautorem několika odborných článků publikovaných v recenzovaných vědeckých časopisech, které se týkají českého systému eRecept. Jeho výzkum se soustředí na využití procesního modelování ke zefektivnění implementace složitých IT systémů ve veřejné správě. To bylo v projektu eReceptu použito například pro efektivní začlenění záznamů o očkování proti covidu.A pak je tu druhá tvář Jiřího Bergera, jeho kariéra soudního znalce a vlivného konzultanta. Napsal podle svých slov nepočítaně posudků, ale minimálně dva “vyčuhují”, protože se dotýkají opět svého času mediálně sledovaných kauz: pražské Opencard a výběrového řízení na mýtný systém, provozovaný firmou Kapsch.Plus samozřejmě již zmíněné účinkování v bitcoinové aféře. V ní čelí podezření i stížnostem, které poukazují na možný střet zájmů. Ale podle Bergera probíhalo vše standardně a nevybočilo z běžné praxe. Co bylo nestandardní, je astronomická suma, o kterou jde.Ano, zřejmě se podařilo obnovit přístup pouze k části bitcoinů, kterými Jiříkovský kdysi disponoval, ale jak říká Berger, a velmi srozumitelně to vysvětlil i Patricku Zandlovi, který o tom napsal text na svůj web Marigold, mělo to čistě technický důvod. A tím byl zastaralý typ bitcoinové peněženky, která otevřela jen ty adresy, ke kterým byly klíče na navráceném starém hardwaru. Ostatní jsou nedostupné a tedy fakticky ztracené.Objeví se někde? Ulít peníze do bitcoinu je ten nejhorší způsob, říká Jiří Berger. Je to tak? Netroufám si říct. A vlastně ani nemám ambici a hlavně ani možnosti se dopátrat pravdy. Baví mě příběhy, a ten Jiřího Bergera je fascinující.Jistě, nenabízí jednoduché odpovědi. Ale nabízí komplexní a pozoruhodný portrét muže mnoha talentů. Vizionářského byznysmena, chytrého a kreativního akademika a zároveň tvůrce, a také vlivného operátora pohybujícího se na pomezí byznysu, státu i politiky. Poslechněte si verzi tohoto příběhu přímo od jeho nositele.Přeju příjemný poslech!

Today we're going to discuss a pasuk in Micha. The Ramchal, Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, author of Mesilat Yesharim, writes in his Maamar HaGeulah/Essay on Redemption that this pasuk reveals the sod ha'bitachon Yisrael b'tikvatam/ the secret of the Jewish people's reliance on and hope for redemption, the geulah shlemah/complete redemption, bimherah v'yameinu, amen As we are in the Three Weeks, this is an extremely apropos piece. What is the pasuk? אל תשמחי איבתי לי כי נפלתי קמתי, כי אשב בחשך יהוה אור לי (מיכה ז' ח')/ Do not rejoice over me, my enemy. Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, Hashem is a light unto me." Says the Ramchal: In order for the redemption to come, there are many preparatory steps—many things that must happen beforehand. He says that when the Jewish people think that God has hidden His face from them and has forsaken them, actually what's happening is (quoting his words): Az HaKadosh Baruch Hu mechin lahem otzarot gedolim / God is preparing for them huge treasure houses, Asher l'rochvam ein ketz / whose expanse has no end, Ul'tovam ein tachlit / whose abundance is limitless. In these treasure houses, God places all the wonderful wealth, all the treasures of kings. He fills these treasure houses to the point where: Ein ha'peh yechola l'daber /the mouth cannot speak it, V'ha'ozen lishmoa/the ear cannot hear it, V'afilu l'lev l'harher/the heart cannot even fathom or imagine it. When the time of the geulah comes, all these treasure houses will be opened. What is in these treasure houses? Of course, we are not talking about gold and silver. The Ramchal continues and says about this secret: Al ha'sod ha'gadol ha'zeh — This is the great secret. This is the secret of our bitachon (faith/trust). How do we rely on Hashem and survive difficult times? He quotes another pasuk, and b'ezrat Hashem both of these pesukim we will discuss more at length: Samechenu k'mot initanu, shnot ra'inu ra'ah./Make us happy like the days You afflicted us, the years we saw evil." This means we tell God : We had difficult times, now make us happy corresponding to those times that you pained us. At first glance, it seems simple: You gave us ten bad days, now give us ten good days. The bad days are the bad days, and the good days are the good days. No, says the Ramchal. It's not just a one-for-one exchange—10 days of bad traded for 10 days of good. No. And again, in his words: Ki kol ha'yamim she'Yisrael b'galut/All the years that Israel was in exile, V'or lo nagah lahem /and the light did not shine for them, Oto ha'or ha'rauy l'otam ha'yamim lo avad/that light which was befitting for those days was not lost. This means every day has its light. And on days where the light doesn't shine, that light isn't gone—it's simply put away in the treasure house. Ha'or ha'hu HaKadosh Baruch Hu gonzo/ That light, God stores away. B'eleh ha'otzarot she'madachticha/ in those same treasure houses. Those treasure houses are full of the light that wasn't revealed. Az yetzei kol ha'or k'echad /Then, all the light will come out at once, as one abundant light So for every moment of darkness—of crusades, of Holocaust, of churban , of Gaza tunnels—every one of those moments of darkness, of absence of light, is being gathered and will one day explode in a single, immense burst. V'az yehiyeh zman simcha l'Yisrael asher kamo lo nihyata/And then will be a time of joy for the Jewish people like never before. That's the meaning of Samechenu k'mot initanu /The days of pain themselves are actually what create the light. Yitukan ha'olam b'menucha v'hashket /The world will be repaired with peace and serenity, V'lo yiyeh od yagon b'olam klal /and there will be no sorrow ever again . As we say: V'aseir mimenu yagon v'anacha/ remove from us sorrow and difficulties . So, these are two very powerful pesukim: 1 . כי אשב בחשך יהוה אור לי /When I sit in darkness, Hashem is light for me. He's explaining to us: It means that even though I am in darkness, there is light being created by the darkness. Because of the darkness the light is being stored in the treasure house. 2. שמחנו כימות עניתנו שנות ראינו רעה /Make us happy like the days that we were suffering the years we saw evil. These, according to the Ramchal—one of the greatest kabbalists—are the sod ha'bitachon Yisrael — the secret bitachon of the Jewish people. .

We welcome UL - Lafayette Football Head Coach Michael Desormeaux, a graduate of Catholic High in New Iberia and standout UL Lafayette quarterback, who became the eighth quarterback in NCAA history to post back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He joined the UL coaching staff in 2016, helping lead the Ragin' Cajuns to four consecutive Sunbelt West Division titles and their first outright Sunbelt Championship before being named head coach. Home Bank CEO John Bordelon, Ul Lafayette Coach Michael Desormeaux, Chris Rader, and Jan Swift at recording of Discover Lafayette podcast. Joining us to guide the conversation is John Bordelon, a 1977 graduate of USL, former football player, and current President and CEO of Home Bank. John has worked with Home Bank for over 44 years and loves beng a part of this community along with his wife, Suzanne. Jan Swift, the host of Discover Lafayette, knew she needed a football voice on this episode. Coach Desormeaux reflected on growing up in New Iberia: “New Iberia was a really good place to grow up. Catholic High has been great for us… my whole family's life revolved around sports and chasing kids around and watching them play. We grew up in ballparks.” "When we were young, our whole life revolved around sports and we grew up in ballparks. Catholic High in New Iberia was a cool place because we went from football to basketball to baseball. When I got to middle school, I started track. Our coaches made it easy for us to be able to do all four. For me, it was just part of the way that we did it. My parents expected us to do well in school. They expected us to play sports. was really just what I grew up doing. I realized after the fact how unique it was to be able to do all four sports in high school. I was always grateful for that." Coach Desormeaux shared how recruiting has changed dramatically since his high school years: "When I was coming out, I didn't hear from UL or other colleges. or meet anyone on the staff, until probably week five of my senior high school year season. They came and watched us play… I had a really good game, and the next week they called back and offered me a scholarship. That was the beginning of my recruiting.” John Bordelon shared how relationships drew him to UL: “My brother was seven years older and came to USL to play football, and I fell in love with the people… my heart was set on being part of this community.” An injury in high school changed John Bordelon's recruitment experience: “My senior year, I actually had an injury, so I missed five ball games… LSU, Tulane, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss dropped me. One of my coaches from high school played at UL and helped me get an interview, and they offered me a scholarship.” Reflecting on how UL shaped his life, Coach Desormeaux noted: “Coaches have always been people I really admired. My dad was my first coach. When I got to Catholic High, Coach David Comeaux got the head job, and I saw the impact he had on our school.” Coach Des's experience with three different offensive coordinators while playing at UL turned out to be a blessing: “At the time, we had several coaching turnorvers, and it wasn't what I expected. But I got to learn three different systems and three different offenses… the coaching experience was really good for me.” "I'd love to tell you that I've created anything. But football coaches are thieves. I mean, we just take things from different people and make it our own. The whole journey and all these coaches are people that I've always admired. I tell our staff all the time, if you got into coaching for anything other than to help kids and for anything other than to help them achieve their goals, you're in the wrong place." Coach Des spoke honestly about the challenges of NIL and the transfer portal: “We believe in building relationships… I wish it wasn't personal to me when they leave, but it is. You spend so much time with them.

Elite Irish sprinters participating in a study at Lero, one of the world's leading software research centres at the University of Limerick, to determine the effectiveness of super spike sprint shoes, could boost their chances of success at the 2028 Olympics. Lero researchers at the University of Limerick's Sport and Human Performance Research Centre (SHPRC) have embarked on the research in collaboration with innovative Irish sports analytics company DANU are still recruiting elite Irish athletes to use DANU's groundbreaking wearable smart socks technology to capture and analyse athlete-specific data, focusing on the biomechanical assessment of super spike shoes. Professor Ian Kenny questioned whether athletes at the 2024 Olympics choose super spikes due to sponsorship deals or for their technological benefits and injury prevention. "Using real-world metrics on the track and not the lab, we will gain key insights into the benefits of DANU's technology, super spikes, and their impact on our elite sprinters - gaining a fraction of a second could give an Irish athlete a podium finish and a medal," he added. Lero researcher Shane Hassett said the research will quantify performance outcomes such as speed, ground contact time, flight time, muscle activation, and ankle kinematics to distinguish super spike shoes from other running spikes. "We will investigate if the DANU sports system can be used to monitor biomechanical changes in gait when wearing the super spike shoes, focusing on how specific components biomechanically change an athlete's sprint profile," he added. DANU founder and CEO Oisín Lennon said they are delighted to continue their collaboration with the University of Limerick and LERO, who he described as leaders in software and research innovation. "UL supported us in our early development, playing a vital role in validating our technology and shaping the direction of our platform. That early partnership was instrumental in helping us move from concept to a scientifically grounded product. "Now, it's incredibly rewarding to see LERO and UL using our technology to drive groundbreaking research in elite sprinting - pushing the limits of what's possible in biomechanics and performance science. "Collaborating with researchers of this calibre not only validates our approach but also ensures we stay at the forefront of innovation. We're excited to contribute to work that has the potential to impact sport at the highest level."

Marcus and I debate AIs capabilities from nearly polar opposite ends. He thinks it's basically autocomplete, and I think it's the most important tech we've ever built as humans. It was a fantastic, and very civil conversation, so thanks to Marcus for that, and we're already planning on Part 2. This two-hour discussion covers:

V Haagu poteka vrh Severnoatlantskega zavezništva, na katerem bodo voditelji najverjetneje potrdili zgodovinsko zvišanje obrambnih izdatkov. V novi realnosti, ko drug za drugim vznikajo novi konflikti, je Evropa postavljena pred dejstvo, da mora bolj odločno poskrbeti za svojo varnost. A med članicami so velike razlike v občutku ogroženosti, zato tudi precej različen občutek nujnosti vlaganj v svojo varnost. Ko v enačbo dodamo še ameriškega predsednika Donalda Trumpa, je razumljivo, da bo tokratni vrh precej manj enoten, skupna izjava pa zelo kratka in splošna. O izzivih pred Natom in enotnosti zavezništva se bo z gosti v tokratnem Studiu ob 17.00 pogovarjal Matej Hrastar. – Jelko Kacin, nekdanji obrambni minister in stalni predstavnik Slovenije pri zvezi NATO (2015–2019) – Boštjan Pavlin, državni sekretar na ministrstvu za obrambo – Iztok Prezelj, profesor obramboslovja in dekan Fakultete za družbene vede UL

• Started with the virtues of ʿAbdullāh Ibn Masʿūd (رضي الله عنه) • Covered the narration of Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī and Ibn Masʿūd: — “How many people intend good but never reach it” • Highlighted evidence from the Qur'ān and Sunnah showing the completeness of the religion — no need for additions “This day I have perfected for you your religion…” (Sūrah al-Mā'idah 5:3)' • Virtues of the Khulafā' al-Rāshidīn (the four rightly guided caliphs) • Importance of clinging to the understanding of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥīn • Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr on the verse: — “This is My straight path, so follow it” (al-Anʿām 6:153) • Hadith of the 73 sects and its variations and its different chains - Linked with Ibn Masʿūd's narration: “The Jamāʿah is what conforms with the truth, even if you are alone” • Danger of bid'ah (innovation) and how it is more severe than committing major sins - to the exent that the Prophet ﷺ warned against it even before it appeared. • The importance of Tawheed and the precise wording found in the sunnah and the Quran. Example, Surah Maryam ayah 65 "Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, so worship Him (Alone) and be constant and patient in His worship. Do you know of any who is similar to Him?" • How this verse beautifully encompasses all three categories of Tawḥīd: 1. Tawḥīd al-Rubūbiyyah – “Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them…” 2. Tawḥīd al-Ulūhiyyah – “so worship Him (Alone)…” 3. Tawḥīd al-Asmā' wa'l-Ṣifāt – “Do you know of any who is similar to Him?” (denial of likeness to His names or attributes) • Shaykh ʿAbdullāh Lahmāmī (ḥafiẓahullāh) concluded the lesson by mentioning 20 characteristics that distinguish the people of Sunnah from the groups of misguidance.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,Welcome back to Be Qur'anic!It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for Tajweed Tuesday, where we break down the recitation and pronunciation rules from the Ayat of the Week.This is Week 2 of Term 2, and we're continuing with Surah al-Wāqiʿah, focusing on verses 10 to 26. Don't worry — although that's 16 ayat, the verses are short and rhythmically structured, which makes them ideal for learning Tajweed.Let's begin with Isti‘ādhah:أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيمThis is not part of the Qur'an but an instruction from Allah — “When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Shayṭān.” So make sure we recite it with presence and proper tajweed, not rushed.Key Tajweed Highlights1. Al-Madd (Elongation)We notice several types of madd in these verses:* Madd Aṣlī (natural elongation): e.g., Was-sābiqūna — stretch it for two counts.* Madd Muttasil : Look for wavy signs — these must be stretched to 4 counts.2. Gunnah (Nasalisation)Whenever you see nun mushaddadah or meem mushaddadah, like in:* Muqarrabūn or Waḥūrun ‘īnThere's wājib al-ghunnah — nasal sound for two counts.Pinch your nose slightly — you should feel it vibrate.3. Idghām (Merging)For tanwīn or nūn sākinah followed by letters of Yarmalūn, you'll often get:* Idghām bighunnah (merging with nasalisation), e.g. ‘alā sururin mawḍūnah* If it's followed by a non-Yarmalūn letter like sīn, we get ikhfā' (partial hiding), as in qīlan salāman.4. Ikhfā' (Partial nasal concealment)Found when nūn sākinah or tanwīn is followed by certain letters (like zāy, sīn, ṭā).Example:* Yanzifūn — here, nūn is hidden and flows into the sound of zāy with ghunnah.5. Qalqalah (Bounce or echo)Letters like qāf, ṭā, bā, jīm, dāl when sākina produce a light bounce.E.g., lā yuqaddarūn — give the qāf a light bounce.Important Letter-Specific Reminders* Raw (ر) should be heavy (tafkhīm) when it has a fatḥah or ḍammah, and light (tarqīq) when it has a kasrah.* Ṣād (ص) is a heavy letter. Don't round your lips. The heaviness comes from lifting the back of your tongue, not your lips.* Ḍād (ض) — sides of the tongue should press against upper molars. Avoid turning it into a “dal”.* ‘Ayn (ع) — constrict the middle of your throat, not the top or bottom.* Hamzah (ء) — is a glottal stop, don't stretch or squeeze it.Common Symbols* A small circle above a letter means don't pronounce it — it's a silent or dropped letter.* A wavy line (tilde shape) means long madd — usually 4 to 6 counts.* A small alif means elongation for 2 counts — usually madd aṣlī.Practice AdviceDon't rush through all 16 ayat at once. If you're just starting, take it one ayah at a time:* Smooth out each word.* Pay attention to the makhraj (point of articulation).* Use a mirror or record yourself to check your pronunciation.* Once you're confident, try reciting the entire section with correct tajweed.For example, start with:Was-sābiqūna as-sābiqūn. Ulā'ikal muqarrabūn…— repeat until you're flowing smoothly with the right pace and rules.That's it for Tajweed Tuesday!Keep practising the ayat, and take note of these Tajweed points as you recite.See you on Thursday, inshaAllah, for Tafsir Thursday, where we'll explore the meanings behind these powerful verses from Surah al-Wāqiʿah.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

“If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die.” That’s a bit of advice from Warren Buffet, "The Oracle of Omaha" and perhaps the world’s most successful investor. For most, it’s a dream. But for Drake Bajat it’s a personal philosophy and throughline in his serial entrepreneurship. Today, Drake owns Restoration One, a Lafayette-based company specializing in water, mold, fire damage, and biohazard cleanup. But he’s also operated a successful tax and accounting firm, owned a paint contracting company, and spent years in the oil and gas industry as a landman. He did well enough but wanted a business of his own that would give him control over his own time and money. He bought a Restoration One franchise after doing some market research. The company has four employees and averages about five jobs each week. While Drake is focused on making money while he sleeps, Whitney Lange is busy making money where others sleep—designing bedrooms, kitchens, and entire interiors that clients dream of. Whitney is the owner of DBR Designs, a full-service interior design firm in Lafayette. Whitney grew up inspired by home décor shows on HGTV and turned that passion into a thriving career. After earning her interior design degree from UL and working in local design and staging companies, Whitney purchased DBR Designs in 2023. She also owns House Dressings, Lafayette’s only dedicated home staging company. Whitney and her team offer detailed and personalized designs, handling everything from initial consultations to the finishing touches that make spaces feel like home.

➡ Get full visibility, risk insights, red teaming, and governance for your AI models, AI agents, RAGs, and more—so you can securely deploy AI powered applications with ul.live/mend In this episode, I speak with Bar-El Tayouri, Head of AI Security at Mend.io, about the rapidly evolving landscape of application and AI security—especially as multi-agent systems and fuzzy interfaces redefine the attack surface. We talk about: • Modern AppSec Meets AI Agents How traditional AppSec falls short when it comes to AI-era components like agents, MCP servers, system prompts, and model artifacts—and why security now depends on mapping, monitoring, and understanding this entire stack. • Threat Discovery, Simulation, and Mitigation How Mend’s AI security suite identifies unknown AI usage across an org, simulates dynamic attacks (like prompt injection via PDFs), and provides developers with precise, in-code guidance to reduce risk without slowing innovation. • Why We’re Rethinking Identity, Risk, and GovernanceWhy securing AI systems isn’t just about new threats—it’s about re-implementing old lessons: identity access, separation of duties, and system modeling. And why every CISO needs to integrate security into the dev workflow instead of relying on blunt-force blocking.

“Emergencies don't wait—neither should you.” —Dave Beagle, Ooma In a time-sensitive and information-rich conversation, Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Dave Beagle of Ooma to discuss the urgent need for businesses to migrate away from traditional copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. Beagle delivered a compelling presentation centered around Ooma's Airdial solution, which is specifically engineered to support mission-critical applications like fire and life safety systems. The discussion highlighted a ticking clock: with AT&T aiming to sunset all copper lines by 2029—and over 10 million POTS lines still active—resellers and IT advisors are faced with a once-in-a-generation opportunity. “That means replacing over 8,500 lines a day, starting now,” said Beagle. “It's time for partners to act.” Ooma Airdial stands out in the growing “POTS-in-a-box” market for several reasons: Purpose-Built for Fire Life Safety: Unlike competitors that cobble together multiple technologies, Airdial is a vertically integrated solution—built by Ooma from the ground up for environments like elevators, fire panels, and emergency call systems. MultiPath Transport (MPT): Ooma's patented, active-active voice transmission over LTE and Ethernet ensures emergency calls remain connected without failover delays. Compliance and Visibility: Airdial supports NFPA 72, UL certifications, and PCI/HIPAA regulations, with device-level management available via a robust Remote Device Manager portal. Award-Winning Technology: Airdial has earned accolades from Elevator World, Internet Telephony, FacilitiesNet, and Frost & Sullivan for innovation and reliability. Beagle also underscored how rising costs and decommissioning notices—often buried in telecom bills—are already impacting organizations. In one case, a $100 POTS line was suddenly billed at $1,000 due to a rate hike buried in the fine print. “That's $25,000 in exposure over two months—money that could've gone to laptops in a school district or medical equipment in a hospital,” said Beagle. Airdial's design reflects real-world installation challenges: from basement deployment and signal optimization to asset management and E911 location accuracy. Even the power cord has a locking mechanism to prevent accidental shutdown. “We control the hardware, the software, and the supply chain,” Beagle said. “We believe that's why so many resellers and channel partners are choosing Airdial—and why many who started with other solutions are switching to Ooma.” To learn more, visit ooma.com/airdial.

In this episode, I break down what I believe is the emerging structure of the AI-powered world we're all building—consciously or not. I call it the “Four A’s”: Assistants, APIs, Agents, and Augmented Reality. This framework helps make sense of recent developments and where it’s all headed. I talk about: 1. Digital Assistants That Understand and Optimize Your LifeYour DA (like “Kai”) will know your goals, preferences, health, schedule, and context—and proactively optimize your day, from filtering messages to planning meals or surfacing relevant information in real time. 2. APIs and the Real Internet of ThingsEverything becomes an API—from businesses to people to physical objects. Your assistant interacts with these APIs to act on your behalf, turning the world into a navigable ecosystem of services, tools, and resources. 3. Agents and AR Bringing It All TogetherAgents act autonomously to complete multi-step goals, and AR glasses will display their outputs contextually as you move through the world. These systems will collaborate, search, and act—quietly transforming how we live, work, and perceive reality.

In this episode, I walk through a Fabric Pattern that assesses how well a given model does on a task relative to humans. This system uses your smartest AI model to evaluate the performance of other AIs—by scoring them across a range of tasks and comparing them to human intelligence levels. I talk about: 1. Using One AI to Evaluate AnotherThe core idea is simple: use your most capable model (like Claude 3 Opus or GPT-4) to judge the outputs of another model (like GPT-3.5 or Haiku) against a task and input. This gives you a way to benchmark quality without manual review. 2. A Human-Centric Grading SystemModels are scored on a human scale—from “uneducated” and “high school” up to “PhD” and “world-class human.” Stronger models consistently rate higher, while weaker ones rank lower—just as expected. 3. Custom Prompts That Push for Deeper EvaluationThe rating prompt includes instructions to emulate a 16,000+ dimensional scoring system, using expert-level heuristics and attention to nuance. The system also asks the evaluator to describe what would have been required to score higher, making this a meta-feedback loop for improving future performance. Note: This episode was recorded a few months ago, so the AI models mentioned may not be the latest—but the framework and methodology still work perfectly with current models.

AI is changing cybersecurity at a fundamental level—but how do we decide what to build, and when? In this episode, I outline a structured way to think about AI for security: from foundational ideas to a future-proof system that can scale with emerging threats. • Rethinking Human Workflows as Intelligence PipelinesBy mapping tasks into visual workflows, we can pinpoint exactly where human intelligence is still required—and where AI agents are most likely to replace or enhance us. • Using AI to Understand and Manage Organizational StateI introduce the concept of AI state management: building systems that track your current and desired security posture in real time, and using AI to bridge the gap—automating insights, decisions, and even actions across your environment. • Building a Cyber Defense Program Inspired by Attacker PlaybooksInstead of waiting for threats, I propose a new framework based on attacker capabilities—what they wish they could do now and in the near future—and how to proactively prepare by building a continuously adapting AI-powered defense system.

The conversation around AGI and ASI is louder than ever—but the definitions are often abstract, technical, and disconnected from what actually matters. In this episode, I break down a human-centered way of thinking about these terms, why they’re important, and a system that could help us get there. I talk about: • A Better Definition of AGI and ASIInstead of technical abstractions, AGI is defined as the ability to perform most cognitive tasks as well as a 2022 U.S.-based knowledge worker. ASI is intelligence that surpasses that level. Framing it this way helps us immediately understand why it matters—and what it threatens. • Invention as the Core Output of IntelligenceThe real value of AGI and ASI is their ability to generate novel solutions. Drawing inspiration from the Enlightenment, we explore how humans innovate—and how we can replicate that process using AI, automation, and structured experimentation. • Scaling the Scientific Method with AIBy building systems that automate idea generation, recombination, and real-world testing, we can massively scale the rate of innovation. This framework—automated scientific iteration—could be the bridge from human intelligence to AGI and beyond.
