Modest fashion a defining trend
This month, the fashion elite gathered in Dubai for the first-ever Pret-A-Cover, a glamorous event during which designers from around the world showed off collections specifically targeted at Muslim women. It drew attention to emerging designers from around the world who are putting their own spin on modest dressing. It?s in the interest of fashion brands to make clothes that Muslim women want to buy, particularly given estimates that Muslims will make up more than a quarter of the world?s population by 2030. https://www.fastcompany.com/40559445/these-startups-nailed-muslim-fashion-burberry-and-dkny-did-not?

The first bionic kidney- replacing the need for dialysis
Scientists from the University of California have created the first bionic kidney that can replace damaged kidneys. This kidney is a perfect replica for a human kidney and should save millions of lives. The bionic kidney can be put into the human body by plain surgery and so far it has been shown to work effectively with everyone. It filtrates toxins from the blood in the same way as human kidneys. www.tehvibes.com/technology/by-2019-the-first-bionic-kidney-will-discard-the-need-for-dialysis/

Electric scooters that could revolutionise urban transport
Depending on who you ask, the electric, internet-connected scooters appearing all over California are either the future of transportation or a public nuisance. They?re managed through smartphone apps. With Bird, for example, you open the app to see a map of nearby available scooters, from which you can select one, scan a QR code on the scooter, tap ?unlock? in the app, and start your ride. Once you?ve scooted to your destination?Bird says most rides are less than 2 miles?you lock the scooter up again. https://qz.com/1257997/electric-scooters-are-flooding-california-and-theyll-be-on-your-sidewalks-soon/
