By Yalla Abu Dhabi, Hena Khan, Sylvia Whitman, Rashad’s Ramadan| Yalla Abu Dhabi Verified Ramadan is a religious occasion that has been observed and venerated for centuries. This holy month has a special significance for more than a billion Muslims all over the world and is a time that is centered around patience, generosity and self-control. This year, Ramadan is expected to take place from 9 March to 8 April depending on an official sighting of the moon, and will be marked by intense prayer, fasting, giving, and charitable deeds.
By Sylvia Whitman| Sarasota Magazine Verified We’re heading to the scene of a pet rabbit on the loose on a Wednesday afternoon when the laptop positioned between Sarasota County Animal Services Officer Jeffrey Henry and me chimes with a new message: “injured otter laying on stomach, lethargic.” Henry glances at the digital map of all the officers currently on patrol; his zone partner is working a bite. Henry calls dispatch to mark the case of the runaway bunny as pending while we investigate the otter on Longboat Key.
By Sylvia Whitman, Robert Long, Jack Kornfield, Nellie Hill| The Sun Magazine Verified Orson has stopped asking me to marry him, but every once in a while he says something to let me know that the offer still stands. “If I could do this every morning for the rest of my life, I’d live to be a hundred and three,” he says, soaping my stomach. His hands linger on the topographical features he most admires. Although the dirty water backs up around our ankles, it doesn’t mar Orson’s vision of the shower as our fountain of love. Our landlord must wonder about the water bill.
