RIYADH: A moon-sighting committee will meet in Saudi Arabia today (Monday) to decide about sighting or otherwise of the Shawwal moon.

Twenty civilians were killed, with many of them hacked to death, in a hostage-taking attack at a popular cafe in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka.

Bangladeshi troops stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka's Gulshan area on Saturday morning to end the 10-hour standoff, killing six attackers and rescuing 13 hostages, officials said.

The attack, which was claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group, also left at least two police officers dead and dozens wounded.

Media captionGunmen take hostages at Dhaka cafe
Gunmen have stormed a popular cafe in the diplomatic area of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, taking a number of hostages, officials say.
Several foreigners are among those being held by eight or nine armed men in the city's Gulshan district, they add.
Two police officers have been killed about 30 others injured in a gun battle, a spokesman said.
So-called Islamic State has said it carried out the attack.
A statement on the group's self-styled news agency Amaq said militants had attacked a restaurant "frequented by foreigners". It said that more than 20 people "of different nationalities" had been killed but this has not been confirmed.
Security forces say they are trying to negotiate the hostages' release.
Initial reports said that as many as 20 foreigners were among those taken captive.
Italian nationals are believed to be among them, a source at the Italian foreign ministry said, quoted by Reuters.

"We want to resolve this peacefully. We are trying to talk to the attackers," said Benazir Ahmed, chief of the Rapid Action Battalion, Bangladesh's elite police force.
"Our first priority is to save the lives of the people trapped inside."
Police said the gunmen burst into the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe at about 21:20 (13:20 GMT) and opened fire.
The cafe is described as being popular with expatriates, diplomats and middle-class families.

Media reports quoted witnesses as saying that "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is greatest", was heard as the attack took place.
An eyewitness said she heard a loud noise, followed by continuous gunfire.
"The glass of my drawing room shattered," Rashila Rahim said.
"My auntie, her daughter and two friends went there for Iftar (breaking of the Ramadan fasting) and they have not come back. We cannot even check where they are."
Another local resident, Tarique Mir, said he could hear sporadic gunfire nearly three hours after the attack began.
"It is chaos out there. The streets are blocked. There are dozens of police commandos," he said.
BBC South Asia editor Jill McGivering says that although high-profile gun attacks are rare in Bangladesh, the latest incident follows a series of murders widely blamed on Islamist extremists.

সামলাবেন কীভাবে আবেগপ্রবণ স্বামীকে

সামলাবেন কীভাবে আবেগপ্রবণ স্বামীকে ?

এটা ঠিক, সম্পর্কে আবেগ থাকাটা খুবই জরুরি। কিন্তু মাত্রাতিরিক্ত আবেগ কোনো সম্পর্কের জন্যই ভালো নয়, বিশেষ করে স্বামী-স্ত্রীর সম্পর্কে। এমন মানুষের সঙ্গে সংসার করা খুবই যন্ত্রণাদায়ক। কী আর করবেন বলুন? হুট করেই তো আর কারো চরিত্র বদলে ফেলা সম্ভব নয়। তবে আপনি চাইলে একটু বুদ্ধি খাটিয়ে তাঁর এই আচরণগুলো সামলে নিতে পারেন। এ ক্ষেত্রে বোল্ডস্কাই ওয়েবসাইটের লাইফস্টাইল বিভাগের এই তালিকা একবার দেখে নিতে পারেন।
১. স্বামীর ভাবনাগুলো শুনুন
স্বামী কী বলতে চায়, তা শুনুন। বোঝার চেষ্টা করুন। এভাবে খোলামেলা আলোচনা অনেক সময় সুফল বয়ে নিয়ে আসে। কেননা, এর ফলে আপনি তাঁর মনের ভাবনা সম্পর্কে অবগত হতে পারবেন এবং তাঁর ভালো লাগা ও মন্দ লাগার বিষয়গুলো সম্পর্কে সচেতন হতে পারবেন।
২. ইতিবাচক মনোভাব রাখা
আপনার স্বামী যদি সব সময় আবেগতাড়িত থাকেন, তাহলে তাঁকে নিয়ে বসুন এবং আবেগের কারণ জানতে চান। এমন অস্বাভাবিক আচরণের ব্যাখ্যা দিতে যদি সে অপারগ হয়, তাহলে রাগান্বিত হবেন না; বরং তাঁকে আশ্বস্ত করুন, আপনি তাঁর সঙ্গেই আছেন।
৩. আরো ঘনিষ্ঠ হন
স্বামীর সঙ্গে ঘনিষ্ঠ হন। তাহলে তিনি আপনাকে নিয়ে আরো স্বস্তিবোধ করবেন। ফলে তিনি আপনাকে আরো বিশ্বাস করবেন। স্বামীর সঙ্গে অন্তরঙ্গতা বাড়ালে একদিকে যেমন তিনি আপনাকে নিয়ে অযথা চিন্তা করবেন না, অন্যদিকে আপনিও তাঁকে বোঝাতে সক্ষম হবেন যে আপনি তাঁকে কতটা ভালোবাসেন। আবেগপ্রবণ স্বামীকে সামলানোর অন্যতম উত্তম উপায় এটা।
৪. সমস্যার কারণ চিহ্নিত করতে হবে
স্বামীর সঙ্গে নিয়মিত আলোচনা করুন। এভাবে আলাপচারিতার মাধ্যমে তাঁর সমস্যাগুলো চিহ্নিত করুন এবং সমাধানের উৎকৃষ্ট পন্থা বের করুন।
৫. ধৈর্যশীল হোন
স্বামীর আচরণে আপনি কতটা বিরক্ত ও অধৈর্য হয়েছেন, তা প্রকাশ করবেন না। রাগ নিয়ন্ত্রণ করুন। আপনি ধৈর্যহারা হলে কিংবা রাগান্বিত হয়ে কোনো আচরণ করলে আপনার জীবনসঙ্গীকেই হারাতে পারেন চিরতরে। এমতাবস্থায় নিজেই নিজেকে উৎসাহ দিন, তাহলে কখনো ধৈর্যহারা হবেন না।
