In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Both men and women are expected to dress with an appropriate level of discretion during the month of Ramadan. Show as little skin as possible, within reason. Cover your knees and shoulders, wear only modest makeup, and do not wear revealing necklines. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. If you are female, consider covering your head with a scarf or pashmina. The stated purpose of this garb is to reduce the risk of temptation. It is most important to dress modestly if you enter a mosque or another sacred space. This holds true even when Ramadan is not in effect. People will be abstaining from all food and water from dawn to dusk each day, and they will be actively trying to resist worldly temptations. If someone is trying to abstain from a certain habit or practice, avoid doing that thing in front of them. At best, you will offend the locals and at worst, you may find yourself in trouble with the police. Be modest and respectful, and do your best to keep the peace. Do not play loud music; in general, do not make a lot of noise in public spaces. Do not swear in public. Ramadan is a time for prayer and spiritual reflection, and loud or vulgar noises may disturb this peace. Fasting can wreak havoc upon a person's eating and sleeping habits, so some locals might be "hangry" or more irritable than usual. Understand that this is part of the experience. Try to be patient with everyone that you meet. Charity is a huge part of the ethos of Ramadan, and giving money to a good cause can be a great way to get into the holiday spirit. If you want to help an organization, look into the various volunteering and donating options in Dubai. On a simpler level, consider tipping service workers extra. The working hours are two hours shorter than usual during this month. In order to handle their hunger, people tend to stay up very late at night, then nap in the afternoon. All public restaurants and coffee shops are closed from dawn to sunset. Bars, clubs, and live music venues typically close down, so you may need to find another way to keep yourself busy. Be careful on the streets. The roads will be busier, especially when the fast breaks at sundown and people are going out to dinner. Drivers are generally more tired, and the rate of UAE traffic accidents increases dramatically during Ramadan. Do not worry about finding food. Restaurants at hotels, airports, and other traveler-specific spaces tend to remain open during the day, and food and drinks are freely served in those areas. Smoking is prohibited in almost all public areas during the month of Ramadan, and you may even draw attention if you smoke in private spaces. Most importantly, do not smoke around practicing Muslims, some of whom might be trying to abstain from cigarettes for the month. Eating and drinking in front of fasting Muslims is not illegal, but it is usually considered disrespectful.
Summary: Dress modestly. Be considerate of practicing Muslims. Be charitable. Understand how business hours shift during Ramadan. Don't eat or smoke in public places.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Set up your letter as a standard business letter. Choose a font that is readable, such as Times New Roman 12 point. Your boss should have told you who to address the letter to. If you don't know, then call Human Resources to check. Don't delay writing the letter. You should draft it as soon as you tell your boss. In the first sentence, you should state that you are leaving and identify your last day. You don't want the give the impression that you're open to a counter-offer or other negotiations to keep you with the company. For example, you can write, "I hereby resign as marketing assistant at ABC Corporation, effective May 22, 2017." Even if you're writing the letter to Human Resources, you should thank the company. This letter will go in your personnel file, and you don't want to come across as ungrateful. You can thank your boss for hiring you and for anything else that you're genuinely grateful for. For example, you can write, "I can't thank you enough for hiring me nine months ago as your marketing assistant. This job allowed me to put my college education immediately to work, while teaching me more than four years of college ever could." There might be negative comments or performance evaluations in your personnel file. Now is the time to correct the record by providing context. For example, if you've been criticized in the past for being tardy, you can subtly explain why. You can write something like, "This company has been incredibly understanding. Even when I was going through chemotherapy and missing some time at work, I still managed to finish all of my work, thanks to the thoughtful staff at ABC Corp." Remember to keep it brief and professional. You shouldn't give a long-winded defense in which you go point-by-point and rebut every criticism ever made of you. Instead, explain away one or two of the major criticisms. Repeat how grateful you are for having had the chance of working the job, and then give the company your warmest regards. Also let the company know whether you're open to them contacting you with questions. If you are, provide your phone number and email address. For example, you can write, "Thanks again for the nine months to learn and grow with this company. I wouldn't be where I am today without the help of my direct supervisor, Greg Jones, and my co-workers Caron Smith and Abbi Johnson." Make a copy of the letter for your records and then hand deliver it to Human Resources. You should also give your boss a copy of the letter so that they can read what you have written.
Summary: Format your letter. Get to the point. Express gratitude. Set the record straight. End the letter warmly. Distribute the letter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Mindfulness is the habit of consciously paying attention to what is going on around you. Being mindful takes practice. There are many ways that you can train your mind to increase your mindfulness every day. Think about all of the things you do on a daily basis: you eat, you breathe, you move, you speak. These are just a few examples. Imagine if you begin to be more aware of each part of your day. Think about what you might notice if you begin to truly pay attention to the small parts of your life. This is your first step towards being more mindful. For example, pay attention to each step as you make your morning coffee. Then, be aware of how your senses react while drinking your coffee. Each day, try being mindful of a new part of your routine. Try being mindful during your morning shower. Actually think about your senses. Does the warm water feel good? Do you like how your shower gel smells? Pay attention to the sensations involved in each part of your daily routine. Your mind actually works better in short bursts of activity, so keep your practice sessions short. Studies show that it is more productive and useful to break up lengthy stretches of concentration. You will actually be able to be more mindful if you keep your practice sessions short. For example, focus on picking out an outfit for work, but then let your mind wander while you go through the motions of actually getting dressed.
Summary:
Train your mind. Practice being mindful during your routine activities. Be brief.
