The International Olympic Committee (IOC) urged the Saudi government to push forward with move to lift ban on sports in girl's state schools. The Muslim Kingdom's consultative
Shura Council last week recommended to end ban which was relaxed in private schools last year, state media reported. The IOC spokesman welcomed the development and look forward to the approval by Education ministry. All education in Saudi Arabia is single-sex, but sports in girl school remains a sensitive issue in a country where women have to cover from head to toe when in public. The kingdom bowed to the international pressure and sent its first ever female participants to an Olympics at 2012 London games. The IOC agreed to allow the two Saudi women- a judo player and a middle-distance-runner- to compete with their heads and bodies covered in deference to the Islamic Dress Code at their home.
In 1838 Edgar Allen Poe wrote his only complete novel "the Narrative Of Arthur Gordon Pym Of Nuntuckut " One of the characters, a mutineer named Richard Parker fell prey to monstrous cannibalism. After all the mutineers are thrown overboard, Parker is the only one spared to help with the operation of the ship. The ship then capsizes and leaves the remaining crew without adequate food. Parker suggests that he ans his three surviving crewmates draw straws to sacrifice one among them, in order to save the rest. He draws the short straw and is eaten alive by his mates. In 1884, 52-foot yacht set off from Southompton, England for Australia and sank. Four survivors including a 17-year old cabin boy, Richard Parker escaped in a lifeboat. When their resources and food ran out, they forced to drink their urine and finally three of the men killed Parker and devoured him, much like his fictional counterpart. In 2001, Yann Martel paid homage both to real and fictional Richard Parkers in a novel "Life Of Pi". In Pi Martel named a Bengal Tiger-- and survival of shipwreck-Richard Parker.

This organisation gives membership to only those famous scientists of the Arabian countries who have highest achievements in different scientific fields. Arab League awarded Adib The Award of "Small Scientist of the Arab World" last year in Cairo. Jordan also gave him "Shah Hussain Award" and " Arab Youth Development Council" gave him special awards.
*-- Inventions Of Small Emiriti Scientist:--
The first invention of small scientists was the water proof artificial leg for his father. Now his father not only can walk in a better way but can swim too with these legs. Look at the extra ordinary expertise of the small scientist that linking the leg with thin electric wires and to a apparatus fixed in the ear to control the legs naturally. The apparatus in the ear conveys the message of brain to the legs to move. The second innovation of small scientist Sulaiman is ""Vacuum Cleaner Robot". It is a tiny robot that is commonly used in home for cleaning or other works. This robot can reach the places where human hands can not reach like under the sofas or tables.
The third invention of Adib is a helmet equipped with modern cameras. This helmet is used by emergency service volunteers. The specificity of this helmet is that after wearing it no feelings of warmth, cold or water are felt. It is specially very important for fire brigade workers. The cameras installed in the helmet send live/direct photos and videos to the operation control room which help in extinguishing and controlling the fire in better way. This helmet also provides light in smoke, darkness and at night. Small Al Blooshi also invented an apparatus for helping the persons in emergency after meeting any road accident that will inform the family members and emergency about the affectee via wireless. The apparatus will be fixed in seat belt. Recently Adib gave a presentation in Dubai about his inventions. Among the several inventions of Adib one is a "wheel Chair" for disabled kids. This operates by remote control. Many international scientific firms offered Adib to work for them on huge salary.

He has already participated in many Scietific Research conferences in Arab Countries and France. Recently the Crown Prince Of UAE Prince Handan Bin Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoom has sent Adib and his family on the Scientific Tour of seven countries. "Emirates Institute Of Advance Science And Technology" is taking care of Adib's this scientific study tour. On first leg of his tour he visited Belgium. After which he will participate in different conferences in America, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Britain. He has already been invited by Belgium to attend "Green Carbon Conference". He will participate in this conference and will proceed to French city Lafal where he will participate in an international conference about, " Robot Machine for Humen"
He will go to Munich, Germany. He will attend two separate conferences in New York, USA and then will visit "American Space Research Agency" NASA's head quarter. in California.

Adib Sulaiman Al Blooshi is lucky that he took birth in Dubai, UAE where his capabilities have been recognised and he has been given the prestige and provided all types of cooperation to forward his mission of scientific invention to enlighted the name of his country. His country is no less lucky that it admitted the natural intelligence and geniousness of Adib and given him the place he deserved. Adib and his country both are fortunate. Unfortunate is Pakistan that never value the intelligence and capabilities of kids like Adib who take birth in poor slum areas not in well to do families.
Who would not like to swallow a bitter pill if doctor is as beautiful or as clever as Miss Cambridgeshire Carina Tyrrell? And more if she is seeking a higher office Miss England next and then Miss World. Blessed with both beauty and brain Tyrrell is fifth year of medical studies in Cambridge University. She is long away from ' Pretty but dumb' image
that so often attaches itself to beauty queens.
Recently Miss Carina was crowned Miss Cambridgeshire, meaning she will reprent the country at Miss England competition. Tall, slender with long, glossy dark hair, Carina is reminiscent of Duchess of Cambridge. The 24-year was announced as the winner of regional rounds beating 11 others to the title, with the judges saying the competition was one of the closest they had ever seen. Carina is the first student doctor to reach the final and has the great chance of taking the crown in Torquay in June. Carina has dreamed of being a beauty queen since she was 13, but had a little time to do anything about it up till now.
She is so convinced of this that she is considering to postpone her studies at women-only Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, and her ward rounds at Addenbrooke's Hospital, to chase her long-held dream of winning beauty titles. Her father is a physicist, her mother was an executive with the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Geneva, and Carina is predicted to get first class honours degree later this year. Carina said she had a very high IQ and she wanted to be a beauty queen.

Former Afghan foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah is leading his closest rival Ashraf Ghani in early results from Afghan Presidential Election, but figures indicate a likely run-off votes. The chief of Independent Election Commission (IEC) announced the partial results of 26 provinces with 10 percent votes counted, these included provinces in the east, north, south, west and Kabul. With 500,000 votes in the 26 provinces Dr Abdullah is leading with 41.9 percent, Dr Ashraf Ghani with 37.6 and is in second, while Zalmay Rasoul with 9.8 percent in third position. The chief of IEC, Nuristani stressed the figure was only partial and could change drastically in coming days, when more partial results would be announced. Final results are due on May 14. Video clips of people stuffing ballot boxes are circulating on internet but it is unclear which candidate would have benefited from such activity. Urban participation in the election was unexpectedly high, but it is not clear to what extent the rural voters were deterred by Taliban and what role state officials, including police, had in encouraging people to back a particular candidate.
The United Nations which administers the fund that is paying for the election commission
and the complaints body, said it was still early to call the election. " Until the final results are announced by the IEC, stakeholders should be careful in drawing premature conclusions so as not to create inaccurate expectations," said U. N. special envoy Jan Kubis.
