Muslims residing in Oslo, Norway will be fasting in the middle of the month of Ramadan for a total of 18 hours and 16 minutes, between the times of 2:53 am and 9:09 pm. During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, observing Muslims worldwide abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual activities from sunrise to sunset. Ramadan The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar year; therefore, it is ten days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar. Thus, Ramadan will take place from the 13th of April to 12th of May 2021. The fasting hours are calculated from dusk until dawn of each day for the whole of the month of Ramadan. Differing fasting times in different places result from the fact that the length of each day varies based on the latitude of each location and changes each day due to the Earth's orbit around the sun. However, there might be slight interpretational differences between different schools of thought and branches of Islam. Muslim world According to the latest estimations there are over 1.7 billion Muslims worldwide. It is estimated that that by 2026 the Muslim population will increase to over 2.98 billion narrowing the gap with Christianity, whose community is projected to grow to just over three billion by then. The majority of Muslims worldwide are located in Asia, though it is only a quarter of the continent’s population.
The statistic depicts the market capitalization of the largest internet companies worldwide as of February 2021. That month, e-commerce company Amazon's market capitalization stood at 1,662 billion U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, Alphabet the parent company of search market leader Google had a market capitalization of 1,392 billion U.S. dollars. The end of the 1990s in the United States saw the rise of a great number of internet companies, also called online companies or a variety of the name “dot com,” where the “.com” domain is derived from the word commercial. At the time, such startups were merely riding the wave of early internet business, but had little capital and perhaps one good idea. Few companies have survived the burst of the dot com bubble and even fewer have managed to become internationally successful. A few notable exceptions are American companies such as Google (founded in 1998), Amazon (founded in 1994) or eBay Inc. (founded in 1995), and the Chinese online giant Alibaba (founded in 1998), which have come to be some of the largest internet companies in the world. Topping the ranking of largest internet companies worldwide is currently Alphabet, the parent company of Google, with a market capitalization of 741 billion U.S. dollars as of June 2019. Having started as a PhD project at Stanford University, the Google project slowly gained traction and is now the number one search engine in the world, with a market share of 90 percent on the search engine market. Due to a number of high profile acquisitions, Google has expanded its portfolio beyond search, to include the video content sharing site YouTube, the digital app platform Google Play Store, the webmail service Gmail and the web browser Google Chrome, to only name a few. As of March 2019, it is also the most visited multi-platform website in the United States, with almost 256 million U.S. unique visitors during that month alone. In October 2015, Google reorganized itself into a newly created parent company, the multinational conglomerate Alphabet Inc. The biggest internet companies in terms of their workforce are currently Amazon, Google and eBay.

As of April 15, there were four mass shootings in the United States in 2021. This is compared to one mass shooting in 1982, one in 2000, and 12 mass shootings in 2018. School shootings The United States sees the most school shootings in the world. Some motivations for school shootings included depression, seeking revenge, and bullying. As a result of the large amount of school shootings, gun control has become a central topic in U.S. politics. This widespread problem happens across the United States; however California saw the highest number of K-12 school shootings in the United States since 1970. However, the deadliest school shooting (as of March 2021) was the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. This tragedy left 33 dead and 17 injured. Mass shooting issues Mass shootings happen when there are several injuries or deaths from a firearm-related violence. Throughout the last century, mass shootings have become an epidemic in the United States. However, despite the increase in mass shootings and number of casualties, the U.S. government has done little to prevent future shootings from happening. As a result of the lack of cooperation in politics, mass shootings have become the most common political issue that Generation Z is stressed about as of 2018. Furthermore, the right to bear arms is a popular belief in the U.S., although the percentage of households in the United States owning at least one firearm has remained somewhat steady since 1972.
AT&T is the leading provider of mobile services in the United States with a share of 44.5 percent of wireless subscriptions in the fourth quarter of 2020. Verizon, and T-Mobile are the other major wireless operators in the United States. The market share is based on subscription figures reported by the companies in earnings and financial statements. MVNO subscriptions were not taken into account for the statistic. Seismic shift: T-Mobile and Sprint Merger T-Mobile’s 26.5 billion U.S. dollar acquisition of Sprint Corp. became official on April 1st 2020, a merger that temporarily reduced the number of major wireless providers in the United States. Under the terms of the merger, T-Mobile acquired Sprint’s 33.84 million postpaid subscribers, joining the 47 million T-Mobile postpaid wireless subscribers. DISH Network Corporation acquired Sprint’s prepaid mobile business, Boost Mobile, raising that number to four, satisfying the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that the market would remain competitive. AT&T a global market leader AT&T is the largest telecommunications company in the world by most measures. AT&T generates more revenue than any of its counterparts around the world, bringing in a whopping 161.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2020, ahead of nearest-rival Verizon’s 117.5 billion U.S. dollars. AT&T is responsible for assets 525.76 billion U.S. dollars, more than most telecommunications companies, but a long way behind the around 984.38 billion U.S. dollar asset portfolio of China Telecom Corporation.

In the first quarter of 2021, the growth of the real gross domestic product (GDP) in China ranged at 18.3 percent compared to the same quarter of the previous year. GDP refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. It is an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. Real GDP is adjusted for price changes and is therefore regarded as a key indicator for economic growth. GDP growth in China In 2019, China ranged second among countries with the largest gross domestic product worldwide. Since the introduction of economic reforms in 1978, the country has experienced rapid social and economic development. In 2013, it became the world’s largest trading nation, overtaking the United States. However, per capita GDP in China was still much lower than that of industrialized countries. Until 2011, the annual growth rate of China’s GDP had constantly been above nine percent. However, economic growth has cooled down since and is projected to further slow down gradually in the future. Rising domestic wages and the competitive edge of other Asian and African countries are seen as main reasons for the stuttering in China’s economic engine. One strategy of the Chinese government to overcome this transition is a gradual shift of economic focus from industrial production to services. Challenges to GDP growth Another major challenge lies in the massive environmental pollution that China’s reckless economic growth has caused over the past decades. China’s development has been powered mostly by coal consumption, which resulted in high air pollution. To counteract industrial pollution, further investments in waste management and clean technologies are necessary. In 2017, about 1.15 percent of GDP was spent on pollution control. Surging environmental costs aside, environmental issues could also be a key to industrial transition as China placed major investments in renewable energy and clean tech projects. The consumption of green energy skyrocketed from 0.52 exajoules in 2005 to 6.63 million in 2019.
