  1. While multiple studies have found that milk and other dairy products are good for bone health, gut health and skin health among others, a new study has found a link between daily consumption of dairy products and lower diabetes risk. The study, published in the online journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research and Care, stated that consumption of at least two servings of dairy products may lower the risks of high blood pressure, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined as a cluster of factors that lead to an increase in the risk of heart-related diseases. As per the study, researchers tracked the health condition of about 1,90,000 participants for about an average of nine years. It was found that participants who consumed at least two servings of dairy products daily had a 12 percent drop in the risk of metabolic syndrome. Participants were all aged between 35 and 70 years and came from 21 countries: Argentina; Bangladesh; Brazil; Canada; Chile; China; Colombia; India; Iran; Malaysia; Palestine; Pakistan; Philippines, Poland; South Africa; Saudi Arabia; Sweden; Tanzania; Turkey; United Arab Emirates; and Zimbabwe. Information on personal medical history, use of prescription medicines, educational attainment, smoking and measurements of weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were also collected. In the study, dairy defined products were milk, yogurt, yogurt-based drinks, cheese and dishes prepared with dairy products. The researchers found stronger association with full fat dairy, instead of the low fat ones. However, the list did not include butter or cream. ALSO READ | Use dairy products to soothe sunburn The researchers stated that this study was observational and has no such established cause yet. They further said that more research is needed before people with high blood pressure start following this diet. “If our findings are confirmed in sufficiently large and long term trials, then increasing dairy consumption may represent a feasible and low cost approach to reducing [metabolic syndrome], hypertension, diabetes, and ultimately cardiovascular disease events worldwide,” the researchers said.
  2. Rabat – The Moroccan Ministry of Health confirmed 46 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases registered in the country to 8,931, as of 6 p.m. on June 16. The ministry did not confirm any additional deaths in the last 24 hours, with the death toll standing at 212. The mortality rate remains at 2.4%. Morocco also recorded 109 new COVID-19 recoveries in 24 hours, bringing the country’s total to 7,937. The recovery rate reached 88.9%. Approximately 446,837 suspected COVID-19 cases tested negative since the outbreak of the virus in Morocco, while the number of active cases of COVID-19 stands at 782. The Casablanca-Settat region recorded two new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, bringing the total number of cases detected in the region since the virus emerged in Morocco to 2,913. The Casablanca-Settat region reported the highest number of COVID-19 infections of any region in Morocco, representing 32.62% of the country’s infections since the pandemic’s onset. The region of Marrakech-Safi recorded 19 new cases in 24 hours, bringing its total number to 1,631 since the beginning of the outbreak. Fez-Meknes recorded six new cases for a total of 1,061, while Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima reached 1,368 after confirming 16 new cases. Rabat-Sale recorded two new cases while the Eastern region only recorded one case. Meanwhile, no COVID-19 cases were recorded in the rest of Morocco’s regions. The ministry indicated that all of today’s recorded cases are the result of the follow-up of people who came into contact with confirmed patients and COVID-19 hotspots in industrial units. The ministry reiterated its calls urging Moroccans to comply with the gradual ease of the lockdown. Morocco has been in lockdown since March 20 as part of the state of emergency to combat COVID-19, though some lockdown measures recently eased. Morocco extended the state of emergency for the third time on June 9. The state of emergency will continue until July 10. The country, however, eased lockdown in several regions and prefectures.

  4. Lamborghini has announced that it will no longer attend high-profile motor shows, choosing instead to focus on smaller, bespoke events aimed directly at customers. The move was confirmed by chief marketing and communications officer Katia Bassi, who told Autocar India: “We decided to abandon the motor shows because we increasingly believe that to have an intimate relationship with the customer is key and motor shows are no longer aligned with our philosophy.” It means the company's new Sián FKP 37 hypercar will likely be the last Lamborghini to be unwrapped at a public motor show. The striking 808bhp hybrid made its debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September 2019, following the launch of the new Huracán Evo Spyder in Paris and the Aventador SVJ Roadster in Geneva several months previously. Bassi told Autocar UK that Lamborghini will continue to run a “constant program of exclusive customer events”, including “unveils of exclusive new cars in special locations, exclusive tours and driving programmes for both customers and prospects, and lifestyle events where we can invite our clients, prospects and VIPs to join other like-minded people in appreciating many different aspects of the Lamborghini brand”. She added: “Lamborghini always proves a significant attraction at motor shows, for both our clients and followers, as well as the broader public in attendance. “Motor shows in their traditional format have provided an opportunity for people to see new cars and technologies under one roof in a timely way, but influences such as the internet and social media have fundamentally changed that traditional motor show role. “Moreover, Lamborghini needs to consider its customers, who want exclusivity, personalisation and one-to one contact with our cars and our personnel.” The Italian brand has yet to confirm when its first bespoke unveiling will take place, but a likely candidate is the 819bhp V12-powered, Aventador-based ‘SVR’ track car that has been previewed in a series of videos and images over the past few months. The cancellation of the Geneva motor show in March this year and its subsequent semi-official transition to a digital event prompted widespread speculation that motor shows could be on the verge of dying out altogether.
  5. Wondered why you feel a familiar sense of calm and nostalgia when you catch a scent of some particular things? It could be an old book from your childhood, or a dried flower stuck between its yellowing pages. Or it could be a bar of soap you have long associated with a family member or a loved one. Or it could just be the smell of a particular oil that has an association with your childhood. Alternatively, it could also just be new fragrances that help you relax. Scientifically, scent has the power to control the mind and help allay stressful thoughts. Which is why aromatherapy is such a hit, and spas insist on it. Besides relaxing your body, you also need to unwind mentally, after a long and hard day. The lockdown, in particular, has been tough for many people. Which is why experts insist that more than anything, you give importance to your mental well-being. ALSO READ | Mental health coping strategies during a pandemic and after When you smell something nice, it stimulates your olfactory senses, which then send a message to the brain to relax. This relaxation can, therefore, be great if you are suffering from sleep-related issues. It is believed to pump your senses, soothe your nerves and improve your slumber. Here are some suggestions for what you can bring into your bedroom to help you sleep better at night: * Lavender plant: It has long been associated with its calming fragrance. Which is why the oil is also preferred. It can take care of your anxieties and slow down your nervous system, thereby relaxing the mind and the body. The best way to use it would be to use the oil for a relaxing massage before you hit the bed. ALSO READ | Matters of the mind: Caution, courage and rationality may be answers to the crisis * Jasmine: The sweet-smelling flower is another favourite for many people, who swear by its sleep-inducing properties. Just like lavender, jasmine, too, is available in oil form, and it can be applied on the head or inhaled for a long and lasting sleep at night. * As mentioned earlier, it can be any other smell that you have long associated with happiness and relaxation. If it is an object, keep it close when you go to sleep, so that its smell can help you get an undisturbed sleep.
  6. Rabat – The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has registered over 600,000 cases of COVID-19 as of June 15, putting already struggling healthcare systems in an even more delicate position. UNICEF officials warn that mortality rates for MENA children under the age of five could increase by 40% by the end of 2020. Low levels of public spending on health have left healthcare systems in the MENA region with a reputation of underperformance, even prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Child mortality rates are high in the region, with a baseline of 133,000 deaths every six months for children under the age of five. The spread of COVID-19 is now further overwhelming healthcare systems, and the demand for services is high while resources are limited. Nations across the region have imposed lockdowns or curfews to curb infections, making it harder for citizens to leave their houses. Many worry about coming into contact with an infected patient when visiting the hospital for unrelated reasons, leaving children and mothers especially vulnerable to missing out on vital care. In a joint press release on June 14, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that “an additional 51,000 children under the age of five might die in the region by the end of 2020 if the current disruption of essential health and nutrition services is protracted and malnutrition among children increases.” The WHO has warned that rates of child malnutrition could soar because of the pandemic. As COVID-19 spreads in countries where child malnutrition rates are already high, lockdowns, economic downturn, and supply chain disruptions leave them with increased vulnerability. Urging action to prevent reversing progress According to the new report, further disruption of critical services could reverse the decline in child mortality rates that the region has witnessed over the past two decades. Sacha Deshmukh, Executive Director of UNICEF UK, said on April 15 that “up to 117 million children could miss out on vaccines due to the global pandemic.” UNICEF and WHO called for the prioritization of health and nutrition services for pregnant women and young children while working to curb infections. The two organizations emphasized the importance of “the full and safe resumption of vaccination campaigns and nutrition services” and providing “access to primary health care services for every child.” “Equip the community outreach teams across the region with the minimum requirements for infection prevention and control,” the organizations urged. WHO and UNICEF also stressed the need for “investment in effective public communication and community engagement initiatives to increase trust in public health systems.” Upon taking these suggestions into consideration, healthcare systems in the MENA region could prevent the deaths of tens of thousands of children and reduce COVID-19’s societal impact.
  7. Mike Cross, Jaguar’s legendary chief engineer of vehicle integrity, has been doing this sort of thing for the past 30 years, and his input – along with that of the skilled team built around him – is a powerful reason why Jaguars (and Land Rovers) are so universally great to drive. This team decided a very long time ago what the Jaguar’s eye view of a great car truly was and has been working ever since to ensure that each new car possesses that character while improving the strain. The refinement task has two phases: early and late in a car’s gestation. At the concept stage, when the idea is only a few months old, the vehicle integrity team describe in great detail what the car must be like to fulfil its purpose and please its customers. (“We wanted the new Land Rover Defender to drive the way it looks,” explains Cross.) At the other end of the process, once fully driving prototypes have hit the road for maybe 15-18 months before sign-off, the team begins a series of real-world assessments to see how well engineers and designers have met the brief. These days, because you can ‘drive’ cars in computers while they’re still being created, prototypes tend to pop out at least 90% as good as they should be. It means the drive team can start its subtle refinement work straight away; there’s far less basic groundwork to be done. Prototypes are nowadays tested all over the world, and all-new models can do half a million test miles before they’re signed off. Jaguar has outposts in sandy climes where the temperature hits 50deg C and favourite Arctic haunts where cars must work perfectly at 30deg C below. High-speed cruise tests are done on Germany’s unrestricted autobahns; full performance testing at the Nürburgring or Nardò or on JLR’s own Gaydon track, a kind of junior Le Mans where the most potent Jaguars can hit 200mph. But these are extremes of driving. Do all that and you still haven’t verified the car’s capabilities in conditions that most owners will encounter in ordinary Jaguar ownership. If you want British cars to work in Britain, tuning them for British roads is a priority. And that goes double because (and feel free to check this with any French or German test engineer you know) UK roads are so uniquely difficult and badly repaired that when a car works in the UK, it will work everywhere. All of which is why I recently found myself (notionally) at JLR’s headquarters, right next to the British Motor Museum on the M40 motorway, about to attack a test route into mid-Wales used by Cross and his team for testing prototypes. It’s just over 300 miles long and comfortably achievable in a day, Gaydon to Gaydon. Hence the ‘Mike Cross 300’ name we’ve coined for this occasion. “We like this test because you use the car as a typical customer would,” says Cross, “driving purposefully but with no hoonery. In one day, you’ll encounter just about every condition our owners are likely to come across in years of use.” Having driven most of these roads myself, many alongside Cross, I can vouch for the fact that, as well as showing the gamut of any car’s capabilities, they contain a very decent element of challenge and fun. They demand reasonable skill and concentration from drivers while directing them through some of the UK’s finest scenery. What better exploit for a first post-lockdown journey, now that our incarceration has taught us all over again about the simple joy of cars? “We usually leave Gaydon at about 6am,” says Cross, “heading north-west on the M40 then around Birmingham on the eastern side. Doesn’t sound very uplifting, does it? But this is as important a phase of our trip as any. We get to Brum as the traffic is building up, which isn’t a negative for us. It allows time to assess a lot of stuff: how well the car’s stop-start system is integrated, how easy it is controlling distance between yourself and the car ahead, how intuitive the slow-speed braking is.” Cross lists plenty more. Is the seat comfortable? Initial comfort sells cars in showrooms; we’ll want to revisit day-long comfort, which is quite different, much later. Is the brake pedal soft? Or is its travel too long? If the pedal isn’t right, you can have heart-in-mouth moments at 20mph. “You don’t want soft brakes,” says Cross. “Or a long pedal. It’s about how intuitive they are. You want to know that working brilliantly at high speed hasn’t stopped them being progressive and easy to use when you’re just creeping along. If there are issues with pedal ergonomics – the location or the efforts needed – this is when you want to find them. Same goes for the autowipe system if it’s raining. Or auto lights if it’s winter and still dark. That’s all part of our team’s remit, too. These things must be as intuitive and effortless as the rest of the car.” We pass Birmingham on the eastern and northern sides, connecting the M42 and M54 with a dozen miles of well-clogged M6. Cross and his testers like these roads for their worn surfaces, the frequently noisy concrete sections interspersed with coarse Tarmac: “Road noise is wearing, and you definitely don’t want a big noise difference between surfaces.” As speeds rise, wind noise might become a factor: “You want as little of that as possible and especially no buffeting, which breeds fatigue.” That said, you probably won’t achieve much speed here anyway. Instead, you’ll probably be stuck behind trucks, because this is a busy dual carriageway – which Cross and Co see as another chance to assess throttle and brake calibration. They make use of every mile. If this is a Jaguar engineering drive, or even if it isn’t, you’ll be wise to pause at Telford Services on the M54, because it’s good practice to take a break. You might want to make notes, too, and if you’re part of a group, you’ll probably swap cars. There’s no better way of knowing what works best than stepping directly from one car to the next. Beyond Telford, the journey’s character starts changing. The M54 gives way to the A5 and you’re soon on the Shrewsbury ring road, a cut-and-thrusting kind of long-cut around the town where everyone seems to know the road better than you. You’re on and off the throttle, so a sweetly co-ordinated response from both engine and gearbox really counts. Can you make easy progress in such competitive conditions? And does the engine sound like a Jaguar’s? That’s a priority… The road is usually a single carriageway now, with decent sight lines and some safe overtaking opportunities, although these are a particular test for precise power delivery and quick-acting gearbox controls. Not that we’re on the A5 for long; we soon spear off at the A458 towards Welshpool and into Wales proper on a route Cross perfected years ago, partly from motorcycle exploits, partly through test driving with his friend Richard Parry-Jones, former global head of product development for Ford and a proud Welshman. Cross himself is well known for meeting up with hacks at a Welshpool hotel called the Royal Oak, a handy inner-town base for meetings and for demonstrating the latest JLR machinery. Squeezing your shiny motor into the pub’s oddly shaped car park is a particular test. “From here we’re into some lovely driving,” says Cross. “Our route beyond the town is a bit narrow, but it has some great bends that sweep up and down, with the odd tighter twist – all great for assessing steering precision and handling confidence.” On we go much like that, through a staggered left-and-right junction towards Llanfyllin. There’s a twisty, narrow section – you need immediate steering response – but it opens out before you get to the town itself. “It’s amazing how much different roads like these can feel in cars – not ours – with steering that’s okay but not perfect,” says Cross. “It’s why we work so hard getting it right…” Llanfyllin is a welcoming place with nice, black-and-white buildings and, inevitably, a potential coffee stop if you missed the Royal Oak half an hour earlier. There’s also a school, past which you should take care to creep. “Having previously gone a bit quicker,” says Cross, “you want to go slowly here, and it’s a great place to try gentle braking at low speed.” Beyond Llanfyllin, we take an immediate right on the B4580 and then left on the B4391, signposted Bala. At first, the road is narrow and heavily wooded with a big drop on one side and a rock wall on the other, so an accurate perception of your car’s width is essential. You press on north-west down the Tanat Valley, as the traffic gets sparser, through Llangynog (where there’s a handy spot by the public loos for a driver change) and onto some of Britain’s finest driving roads, where you can frequently see three corners ahead. It’s the kind of road that you hope will never end, but soon enough a kind of Alpine pass leads you into town, over a series of obstacles and undulations that are especially good for assessing the effects of bump-steer. Roll through the busy town of Bala, then head out (taking care past another school) for 10 miles on the A4212 before forking left onto the B4391. Cross and Parry-Jones are content to label this one the finest driving roads in Europe for its clear sight lines, good surface, variety of corners, scenery and lack of traffic. There’s no need to go crazy: it’s enjoyable just to stroke along smoothly and briskly. You’ll make quick progress anyway. Fittingly, this is the climax of our drive. By now, you have a well-matured view of your car’s ride comfort and its bullet-point strengths and weaknesses, which you’ll work on tomorrow with the rest of the team. And maybe by the time you’re back at Gaydon, you’ll have headlight performance to discuss as well. For you and me, it’s different. We’re in no hurry. There’s a leisurely lunch to be eaten. Our wisest course thereafter is probably to head a few miles further west to the coast – to Porthmadog, say, where there are places to explore and welcoming B&Bs in which we can take an early night. We’ll arise early, point our car east back to Ffestiniog, run briefly south on the A470 to connect with the A4212, source of so much of yesterday’s driving, then turn left and start enjoying it all over again.
  8. At seven, Akash Vukoti can effortlessly spell the word humuhumunukunukuapua’a. He remembers the consonants of Hawai’s state fish through a song. “You just say humu humu, then you say nuku nuku, and then you say apua ah and then you finish the whole thing,” he says in the recently released Netflix documentary Spelling the Dream. New York-based director Sam Rega follows Vukoti’s journey to the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee contest, where he was the first, first grader to qualify. Rega maps four competitors aged between 7 to 14 at the 2017 competition to understand how Indian-Americans have aced the competition for over a decade. The film shows how 26 of the last 31 winners in the prestigious US competition have been of Indian origin. It was in 2015 when Rega’s colleague Chris Weller, an avid follower of the national championship and also the producer of the film, told him about this intriguing trend. “At that time there were just eight winners in a row but he noticed it was growing year after year and when he told me there is something going on here, and we have a trend brewing, that I realised not much had been written or documented about this. That was a jump off for us on whether we could tell this as a documentary,” says Rega. Interestingly, seven of the eight co-winners of the 2019 competition that ended up in a tie were Indian-origin students, who took home a cash prize of $50,000 after competing with over 550 spellers. This is the third offering by 34-year-old Rega, who followed few of the top professional video gamers of the world in his 2016 film, League of Millions, and examined the events that led to the suicide of Miami City Commissioner Arthur E Telle in his 2008 documentary Miami Noir: The Arthur E Teele Story. Spelling the Dream lays out the road map for the possible reasons that have contributed to this triumphant journey of Indian-American students. Balu Natarajan, the first Indian-American winner at the 1985 national competition, kickstarted the spelling bee tradition. It made headlines in local newspapers which read: “Son of immigrants wins Scripps National Spelling Bee”. The impetus for the winning streak, as shown in the film, can be traced back to 1965, when the 36th US President Lyndon B Johnson brought in a change in immigration laws, which caused a demographic change in the country. Many Indian doctors could migrate because of this, and were willing to work in rural areas. Rega says, “We were getting people who were educated. With those degrees, they came to the US and began to instil that in their children, generation after generation. It was something like, ‘It is what led to my personal success so I am going to impart that to my children’.” With Natarajan’s win, many Indians too were inspired. It only grew stronger after ESPN started airing the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1994. “Those were moments where Indian-Americans at home, who were either reading the newspapers and watching it on TV, started saying, ‘Oh, if they can do it, I can do it’,” says Rega. Besides, many of these children also knew multiple languages, apart from English, which gave them a knack for spellings. There’s a confident 14-year-old Shourav Dasari from Texas — whose engineer parents migrated from Andhra Pradesh to the US — revealing his family secret of a spreadsheet on his computer that contains 1,25,000 words. The family decided to disclose it after nearing the final year of the competition. When competing in the final rounds of Scripps in 2017, he is famous for giving one of the greatest moments in the spelling bee’s history by spelling ‘mogollon’ impressively within five seconds and returning to his seat, smiling, even before the judges could announce he is right. The spellers spend close to two to four hours daily in practise and nearly 10 hours days before the competition, where they master between 60,000 to 1,00,000 words from the dictionary. It turns into a family event with parents studying with the spellers, siblings helping and all attending the competition together. One of the moving scenes in the documentary is when Vukoti ends up in tears after failing one of the qualifying rounds, and he runs to his father immediately after the announcement. His parents believe that the competition is more about gaining knowledge than winning. The heartbreak lasts for a small brief time before the child is seen having a joyous time playing around and giggling with his elder sister in the garden. Rega believes that the growing up years of these children is no different from those playing basketball or tennis or learning a musical instrument. “It has to be put into perspective of any child who has a passion that he/she is working towards an end goal and doing it year after year. They are putting in their time, dedicating themselves and trying to learn their craft even more, and trying to excel at it. Scripps National Spelling Bee is where one gets to see them at the height of their careers,” he says. Nupur Lala, a 1999 Scripps National Spelling Bee champion, emerged a winner after correctly spelling the word ‘logorrhoea’ at the competition when she was 14. In the film, she recalls her win over 20 years ago, when her bespectacled self would head home after school and do her homework, rather than hang out with friends. She reveals how she had never been in settings where she didn’t feel different, having grown up in North Carolina before moving to Florida, because of her name and looks. The competition is where she found solace, a sense of comfort and belonging after seeing the finalists at the competition from 1997, a majority of whom were Indians, and she soon realised this was an area she could be successful in. In the film, she says, “This is the first time in my life when I didn’t feel extremely different.” The takeaway from these competitions has been manifold. Tejas Muthuswamy, a four-time Scripps National Spelling Bee participant, has learnt important lessons about confidence on stage and hard work after spending hours in its preparation. Dasari has gone further to set up an online startup called SpellPundit that helps spelling bee hopefuls to master the craft of learning words swiftly. Even as Ananya Vinay emerged as the winner, the final scenes of Spelling the Dream are a reminder of the prevailing climate in the US, as screenshots show how many of these winners are subjected to xenophobic comments on social media. “It’s terrible that it is directed towards children,” says Rega, adding, “The underlying tone of the film is to show that we are all in this together. We are all Americans. All of these children are Americans, they are part of the American dream, their families got here because of what our country allows. No one did anything that was beyond what they were given as a country. That was so beautiful about our country and that is what people should remember.”
  9. Rabat – The Moroccan government has decided to transfer all remaining COVID-19 patients, along with any new cases, to two hospitals in Benslimane, near Casablanca, and Ben Guerir, near Marrakech. A joint press release from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Interior announced the news on Saturday, June 13, assuring that the 700 active COVID-19 cases counted on a national scale maintain a stable state of health. Civilian and military doctors will assist patients at the two facilities, which are dedicated to the management of COVID-19. The hospitals will offer all adequate treatment, accommodation, and follow-up. “Instead of keeping COVID-19 cases spread across hospitals in the kingdom … it was decided to group them as well as future positive cases within two specialized health facilities,” announced government spokesperson Saaid Amzazi in a statement. The decision will take into account the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Morocco, the statement added. The ministries also announced mass screening measures for all individuals who made contact with COVID-19 carriers, as part of the country’s aim to carry out nearly 1.8 million COVID-19 tests by the end of July at the start of August. The large-scale testing also concerns professional and business environments throughout Morocco. The country carries out 17,000 tests per day to date, and 398,260 suspected COVID-19 cases have tested negative since the start of the outbreak on March 2. The decision to transfer all COVID-19 care to two hospitals comes as part of the country’s preparation for gradual deconfinement, set to begin on June 20. The move also aims to free up hospital beds and allow individuals seeking healthcare and others suffering from chronic diseases to visit hospitals without fear of contracting COVID-19. Morocco has 8,734 COVID-19 cases as of 10 a.m. on June 14, including 7,725 recoveries and 212 deaths. Morocco extended the state of emergency on June 9 until July 10. The country has, however, begun easing lockdown on several regions and provinces where outbreaks appear to be clearing up.

  13. Rabat – Muslims around the world are preparing to celebrate the end of Ramadan with Eid Al Fitr. Here is everything you should know about the celebration. In parts of Europe, the holiday is commonly referred to as “Sugar Festival.” The name derives from the practice of Muslim hosts offering sweets and food to guests. In other countries, local languages directly translate the holiday to some variation of breaking one’s fast or simply “the celebration.” After one month of fasting from sunrise to sunset, a practice that involves refraining from all eating, drinking, smoking, or sexual activity, Muslims are expected to end the holy month with a deeper understanding of their faith, personal development, and a heightened sense of empathy. Eid Al-Fitr, a holiday originated by the Prophet Muhammad, marks the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal, or the tenth month in the Islamic lunar calendar. Traditionally, the one-to-three-day celebration involves communal post-dawn prayers, special sermons, feasts, reunions, gift-giving, and making offerings to charity. Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, refers to the annual amount of charitable donations a person is obliged to give in an effort to circulate wealth among communities. Regarding Eid Al Fitr, the practice of giving is known as Zakat Al-Fitr. Monetary and food donations are traditionally collected in the final days of Ramadan leading up to the end-of-the-month celebration. Zakat Al-Fitr ensures all Muslims, regardless of wealth, are able to participate in the celebratory feast. Worshippers are encouraged to use the occasion as a time to seek forgiveness, exercise generosity, and display gratitude. This year, Muslims around the world will adapt celebrations to meet restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As many places of worship remain closed, a number of mosques have moved their prayers and sermons to virtual platforms to allow followers to safely partake in this year’s religious ceremonies. As with the start of Ramadan, the Eid Al-Fitr holiday begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, making it impossible to predict an exact date. Traditionally, if the moon is not observed with the naked eye after the 29th day of the ninth lunar month, Ramadan will continue for another day. Since the new moon is not in the same state at the same time across all countries and weather or other factors may impact its visibility, respective locations may announce sightings of the moon at varying times. In 2020, according to astronomers, most of the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims will celebrate Eid on May 23 or 24.
