Eat, Fast and Live Longer

published by Hummus on 5 September, 2012 - 22:04

Michael Mosley has set himself a truly ambitious goal: he wants to live longer, stay younger and lose weight in the bargain. And he wants to make as few changes to his life as possible along the way. He discovers the powerful new science behind the ancient idea of fasting, and he thinks he's found a way of doing it that still allows him to enjoy his food. Michael tests out the science of fasting on himself - with life-changing results.

Egypt launches first full Islamic veil TV Channel.

Yes, you read that right! Egypt has launched their first Islamic veil TV Channel. All staff must wear a Niqaab, both infront and behind the camera, and if your not wearing a Niqaab, then you can't appear on the screen. Some say that it gives a chance for those wearing a veil to attain a job in media and journalism whilst others argue that there are communication barriers. I'd like to know what you think of this new idea.

Once i've heard what you have to say, i'll share mine. So why exactly do you or your families or the mosque you follow, start Ramadhan on the day that you do?

The words that come out of your mouth.

published by Hummus on 9 June, 2012 - 13:22

The words that come out of your mouth belong to a language, unless your banging your keyboard in desperation, now, thats just universally understood! LANGUAGES. Yes, that has been a topic that has occupied some, not all, of our conversations on Tribune. We all speak different languages and there are approximately 6909 languages that are currently spoken worldwide and Mandarin tops the league board! So, how many languages can you speak, read, write or understand? What is your favourite language and why? If you were given the opportunity to learn a new language, which one would you choose? Imagine everyone spoke the same language? That would make our world a less interesting place, for sure!
