Meet Kulsoom Abdullah,
Pakistani-American, Kulsoom Abdullah, has been Weightlifting – at both the national and international level since 2010 – in addition to Crossfitting.Born and bred in the US, Abdullah’s parents (born in Pakistan; her father from Tangi and her mother from Charsadda) immigrated to America years ago, before Abdullah’s birth. In 2005, Abdullah’s father passed away in Pakistan, leaving behind his wife and five children – of which Abdullah is the eldest. A Computer Engineer by profession, with a PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology, I first discovered Abdullah through a picture of hers that an acquaintance had shared over Facebook. In the picture Abdullah is featured Weightlifting – in hijab. Intrigued, I googled Abdullah and contacted her via her website in the hopes that she would agree to being interviewed over email. She agreed.
At the national level, Abdullah attended the ‘US National Competition’ in 2011, and in the same year she represented Pakistan (at the international level) at the ‘2011 World Weightlifting Championships’. For the latter, Abdullah was not only the first female to compete, but she was also the first female to compete in hijab. And this year, Abdullah represented Pakistan in South Korea, at the ‘2012 Asian Weightlifting Championships.’
However, in 2010 after qualifying to compete at the American Open, the USA Weightlifting Committee barred Abdullah from contending in the competition due to her clothing – clothing modifications were simply not allowed. Participants had to adhere to wearing a ‘singlet’ – particular clothing for athletes which sort of looks like a swimsuit with shorts.
MINA — Noor Mohammed, a 105-year-old Pakistani pilgrim, has at long last possessed the capacity to make it to Makkah after a few fizzled endeavors. "My rehashed disappointments to perform Haj did not discourage me. I proceeded with my battle to spare cash and leave on the life's voyage time," he told Al-Hayat daily paper on Thursday. He said he has been sparing cash for a long time.
"The Haj expenses were expanding a seemingly endless amount of time. Each time I attempted to gather enough cash, I would come up short on account of the troublesome budgetary states of my family," he said.
Mohammed said he was just ready to spare the Haj cash at this maturity. "When I crossed 100, I had the capacity spare the obliged measure of cash to finish my deep rooted dream," he said.
He said when he touched base in Saudi Arabia surprisingly, he found that the Haj was not as troublesome as he used to think.
He said his companions, who are all dead now, used to identify with him about hardships and troubles amid the Haj.
"The offices I have seen have pulverized the old mutilated picture I used to have about the Haj," he included.
Mohammed said the Haj has now turned out to be simple particularly for the old individuals like him on account of the coordinated offices and administrations being given by the significant Saudi offices.
"It is presently simple to move between the blessed locales. It is additionally simple to perform the customs. This is as opposed to the photo I have summoned about the Haj for a long time," he said.
Mohammed, utilizing a thick stick to stroll on, was in tears all the time he was conversing with the daily paper. "These are tears of satisfaction," he explains!

Hi guys! Today we are going to learn all about blackheads and how to remove them. we are going to learn how to use items from the kitchen to remove nasty blackheads.
First, let's learn a little bit about blackheads. They occur when skin debris combines with oil to block the pores. They are black in color not because they are "dirty" but because they are oxidized. This means, that when oxygen touches these pores. Whiteheads are caused by the same oils as blackheads, but they are covered by skin. Most people have blackheads on the sides of their nose and chin. Some skin products might increase blackheads, or comedones, by blocking pores. One of the best ways to help eliminate blackheads is to wash your face daily. This will eliminate buildup. However, even if you follow this step, blackheads will remain. Also, washing or scrubbing the skin too much could make it worse, by irritating the skin. Touching and picking, however, tempting, might cause irritation and spread infection.
One method is the nutmeg and buttermilk method. Nutmeg helps get rid of oil, and it also gently scrubs skin leaving behind really smooth skin. The lactic acid in buttermilk helps break down old skin cells so they disappear when you rinse your face, leaving behind fresh, clean skin.
Another simple scrub is made from baking soda and water. The baking soda scrubs the dead skin cells away, leaving room for new cells.
Next, we are going to use honey to pull the blackheads out of the pores. Simply pour a small amount of honey on your fingers and pat the areas on your face where you want to remove blackheads. The honey will stick to the junk in your pores, and pull it out as you remove your fingers. As honey has anti-bacterial properties, your pores will not oxidize as quickly.
A classic method for ridding skin of acne and blackheads is mud masks. Mud masks remove dirt and oil from your pores. When you wash your face after putting the mask on, the masks take away bacteria and dead cells along with them. We are going to make our own mud mask out of cosmetic clay and water. You can buy cosmetic clay online or at herb shops. There are many different types of clay out there. Combine 1 tablespoon clay with 1 tablespoon water and stir until you have a paste without lumps in it. Spread over your whole clean face, or just the areas where you have blackheads. Allow this to dry for 15-20 minutes. Take a warm, wet washcloth and press it to the mask for a few seconds, and then slowly and gently wipe off.
Good luck!

JEDDAH: Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman on Tuesday ordered that top officials of the Bin Laden Group be banned from traveling outside the kingdom after probers pinned the blame partially on the construction company for Friday’s deadly crane crash in Makkah.
A royal court announcement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said the king is reviewing the report of the Accident Investigation Committee, which suggested negligence on the part of the Bin Laden Group, but concluded that it found an “absence of criminal suspicion.”
The report said “the main reason for the accident is the strong winds while the crane was in a wrong position.”
Some 111 people were killed and 331 injured when the giant crane being used in the expansion project at the Grand Mosque toppled and crashed into a portion of the mataf (circumambulation area) around the holy Kaaba on Sept. 11.
Pending completion of the investigation, all members of the Board of Directors of Bin Laden Group, as well as Bakr bin Mohammed bin Laden and senior executives in the group and others connected with the project are banned from leaving the kingdom, said the royal court order.
King Salman also ordered the payment of the following to the families of the victims:
1. SR1,000,000 to the family of each person killed in this accident;
2. SR1,000,000 to each injured whose injury resulted in permanent disability;
3. SR500,000 to each of the other injured.
According to SPA, such payment would not deprive the families of the deceased as well as the injured from the right to claim for private right before the competent judicial authorities.
The king also issuef directives to host two family members of the deceased as the king's guests to perform Haj next year.
“The injured who cannot perform Haj this year can perform Hajjnext year as the king's guests. The families of the injured who stay in hospitals for treatment shall be granted visit visas to take care of the injured during the remaining period of Hajj and return back to their country,” the royal court said.
