BEFORE AND AFTER FASTING Early in the morning and after sunset meal options during Ramadan. —Margaux Salcedo On Thursday, March 23, Muslims around the world began fasting for the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, considered one of the holiest months for Muslims. It falls on a different date every year, depending on the cycles of the moon. This year, Ramadan started on the evening of March 22 and will end on the evening of April 21. This holy month is marked by a period of fasting or sawm, which is considered a pillar of Islam, alongside faith or shahada, prayer or salah, charity or zakat, and making the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca or hajj. The fast is from sunrise to sunset, when you cannot eat or drink anything, not even water! But before sunrise and after sunset, there are eating rituals.

Study: 24% Of Parents Hid That Their Children Were Covid-19 Positive
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Well, so much for trusting people to do the right thing. A research letter recently published in JAMA Network Open described how 24.0% of parents in the U.S. surveyed—that’s 63 of 263 respondents—failed to tell others when they either thought or knew that their child had Covid-19. Moreover, 21.1% (67 of 218 respondents) permitted their children to break quarantine or isolation rules.

They wanted to exercise their “personal freedom” as parents. Yeah, let that freedom answer ring in the heads of all those who may have gotten infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as a result. Looks like the answer to the Eurythmics song “Would I Lie To You?” is “Absolutely Yes” for quite a few parents based on this survey.

Review: Trettitre TreSound1 Wireless Speaker
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There is no shortage of cheap Bluetooth speakers from manufacturers that you’d never see on store shelves in North America, but far fewer that make a play for the high end wireless speaker market. It’s difficult to get consumers to part with big money on a speaker that doesn’t carry a familiar name. China’s Trettitre is giving it a go with the $699.99 TreSound1, a sample of which was sent to me by distributor Linsoul Audio . Premium – But Polarizing – Design The TreSound1 has a very unusual appearance, one that draws immediate attention. Trettitre says it incorporates a “mountain” design. To me it looks like a warhead. It’s not just the form factor that makes the design polarizing; the controls take minimalism to an extreme. There are no buttons to mar its surface. On/off and volume control is accomplished by twisting the metal end of the cone, with no option for pausing or skipping tracks. The very tip is an LED that … [Read more...] about Review: Trettitre TreSound1 Wireless Speaker
