Elsewhere, I read that China doesn't allow Muslim civil servants and students from fasting during Ramadan. Was that only applying to this region or was applicable to other regions with non-Turkic Chinese Muslims?

We have a few remnants of the British colonialists here in Kenya. And one such, who has since passed on but was on the news regularly was called Cholmondeley. With the exception of one newscaster, who taught us how to read the name correctl

Funny that while the IITs, as per the article, is said to be a collection of autonomous institutes, and that the University of California, which is an another collection of colleges, and still rated higher than the IITs, you would want to d

Every time I hear or read something about the US I realize the country is in many ways far behind Europe. When it comes to healthcare (in terms of accessibility), education (in terms of cost), infrastructure, etc, America seems to be doing

HTML and CSS alone would not be adequate for the kind of behaviour you are looking for - 'updating their site'. At the very least, you need to learn how to customise a CMS. A well known CMS that I would recommend is WordPress. How

My anecdote: I once had a Medium article posted over here and had hundreds of people coming from HN reading the post. I think, as others are telling you, the title needs to arouse the interest of people for them to click the link.
