Dopamine is most commonly known simply as dopamine.
However, it also has a more formal chemical name and some common nicknames:
* Chemical/Scientific name: Its full chemical name is 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol or 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine. It is also sometimes referred to as hydroxytyramine.
* Nicknames: It’s often called the “feel-good hormone” or the “pleasure molecule” due to its role in the brain’s reward system and its association with feelings of pleasure, motivation, and satisfaction.

Protecting children from the potential negative effects of social media requires a multi-faceted approach that involves open communication, setting boundaries, teaching digital literacy, and utilizing technological tools. Here’s a comprehensive guide for parents:
I. Foster Open Communication and Trust:
* Talk Early and Often: Start conversations about social media, its benefits, and its risks before your child even gets an account. Make it an ongoing dialogue, not a one-time lecture.
* Encourage Sharing: Create a safe space where your children feel comfortable sharing what they see, experience, and feel on social media, even if it’s upsetting or concerning.
* Listen Without Judgment: When your child comes to you with a problem, listen actively and offer support. Avoid immediate judgment, which can shut down future communication.
* Discuss Online vs. Offline Life: Help them understand that social media presents a curated version of reality and doesn’t always reflect real life.
* Reinforce Consequences: Talk about the lasting digital footprint and how online actions can have real-world consequences (e.g., impact on future opportunities, relationships).
II. Set Clear Boundaries and Expectations:
* Establish Family Rules: Work together to create a family media plan or contract that outlines acceptable social media use, screen time limits, and consequences for breaking rules. Post these rules in a visible area.
* Age Restrictions: Adhere to age restrictions for social media platforms. Delay social media use as long as possible.
* Screen Time Limits: Set clear daily limits for social media use and enforce them consistently. Consider using built-in device settings or parental control apps.
* Tech-Free Zones and Times: Designate specific times (e.g., mealtimes, an hour before bed) and areas (e.g., bedrooms) as tech-free.
* Device Placement: Keep devices in common areas of the house where you can easily monitor usage.
* Treat Media as a Privilege: Frame social media access as a privilege that needs to be earned, not a right.
III. Teach Digital Literacy and Critical Thinking:
* Privacy Settings: Go through privacy settings together on all social media platforms and ensure they are set to the highest level of privacy. Explain what each setting means.
* “Friend” Strangers: Teach them the “If you don’t know them, don’t friend them” rule. Emphasize the dangers of interacting with strangers online.
* Strong Passwords: Help them create strong, unique passwords for each account and explain why they should never share them.
* Critical Evaluation of Content: Teach them how to critically evaluate what they see online. Discuss fake news, misleading information, and manipulated images.
* Responsible Posting: Emphasize thinking before posting. Remind them that anything they post can be permanent and seen by a wide audience. Discuss what is and isn’t appropriate to share.
* Cyberbullying Prevention:
* Educate them about cyberbullying: Help them recognize what it looks like and how to respond.
* Encourage them not to engage: Teach them not to respond to cyberbullies.
* Block and report: Show them how to block bullies and report inappropriate content or behavior to the platform and to you.
* Save evidence: Advise them to save screenshots or other evidence of cyberbullying.
* Emphasize your support: Reassure them that you will help them if they experience or witness cyberbullying.
IV. Utilize Parental Control Tools and Monitoring:
* Parental Control Software/Apps: Explore and utilize parental control features provided by devices and platforms (e.g., Google Family Link, Apple Screen Time) or third-party apps like Bark, Qustodio, or Net Nanny. These can help with content filtering, time limits, and app blocking.
* Monitor Usage (Appropriately): Depending on your child’s age and maturity, consider monitoring their social media usage. This could involve periodic checks of their profiles, Browse history, or using monitoring apps. Be transparent with older children if you choose to monitor.
* “Friend” or “Follow” Your Child: On platforms where it’s appropriate, consider connecting with your child’s accounts. However, respect their online space and avoid commenting or posting on their profiles unless necessary for safety.
V. Model Healthy Digital Behavior:
* Be a Role Model: Children learn by observing. Demonstrate balanced and responsible social media use yourself. Limit your own screen time, put away your phone during family time, and avoid excessive scrolling.
* Offer Alternatives: Provide engaging offline activities and hobbies to encourage a healthy balance between screen time and real-world interactions.
By proactively engaging with your children and implementing these strategies, parents can significantly mitigate the negative effects of social media and help their children navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.

PTI founder Imran Khan did not offer Eid prayers in Adiala Jail primarily due to security concerns.
According to jail officials and security sources, two separate Eid prayer congregations were held within the prison, but Imran Khan did not participate in either. He was reportedly resting in his cell during the designated prayer times and chose not to attend. This has been the case for recent Eid prayers as well, where he was unable to join due to similar security reasons.
Authorities have heightened security around Adiala Jail, especially during religious holidays, often citing information about potential protests by political workers. This has led to strict measures that have prevented him from joining the general congregation with other inmates.

سعودی عرب میں 2025 میں عید کی دو بڑی چھٹیاں ہیں:
عید الفطر (مارچ کے آخر/اپریل کے آغاز میں)
* تاریخیں: قمری کیلنڈر کے لحاظ سے 30 مارچ سے 2 اپریل 2025 تک (چاند نظر آنے پر منحصر)۔
* موسم: عام طور پر دن کے وقت گرمی رہے گی، درجہ حرارت 30 سے 38 ڈگری سیلسیس کے درمیان رہ سکتا ہے۔ تاہم، جنوب مغربی پہاڑی علاقوں اور شمالی علاقوں میں موسم قدرے خوشگوار (25-29 ڈگری سیلسیس) رہ سکتا ہے۔ رات کے وقت زیادہ تر علاقوں میں درجہ حرارت 20 سے 25 ڈگری سیلسیس تک گر جائے گا۔ شمالی اور جنوب مغربی پہاڑی علاقوں میں راتیں 11 سے 14 ڈگری سیلسیس کے ساتھ ٹھنڈی ہو سکتی ہیں۔
* بارش اور آندھی: بعض علاقوں میں درمیانی سے تیز گرج چمک کے ساتھ بارش اور ژالہ باری کا امکان ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ، مکہ، مدینہ، تبوک، الجوف، شمالی سرحدوں، حائل، القصیم، ریاض اور مشرقی صوبے کے شمالی حصوں میں دن کے وقت دھول اڑانے والی ہوائیں چل سکتی ہیں۔
عید الاضحی (جون کے اوائل میں)
* تاریخیں: قمری کیلنڈر کے لحاظ سے 5 جون سے 9 جون 2025 تک (چاند نظر آنے پر منحصر)۔ آج 7 جون 2025 ہے اور عید الاضحی کی چھٹیاں جاری ہیں۔
* موسم: عام طور پر سعودی عرب کے زیادہ تر حصوں میں شدید گرمی کی توقع ہے۔ خاص طور پر مکہ اور مدینہ جیسے علاقوں میں درجہ حرارت کافی زیادہ ہو سکتا ہے۔ تاہم، باحہ (Baha) جیسے پہاڑی علاقے جہاں آب و ہوا معتدل ہوتی ہے، گرمی سے بچنے کے لیے ایک مقبول مقام بن گئے ہیں۔
عام مشورہ:
عید کی چھٹیوں کے دوران سفر کرنے یا باہر جانے کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں تو تازہ ترین موسمی پیش گوئیوں کے لیے مقامی موسمیات کی اتھارٹی کی ویب سائٹ یا خبروں سے باخبر رہیں۔
